that's an immigration policy i can get behind

same goes for the stickers on the back of big bogan 4WD's

just make it simple:

let's just pick a dead horse and flog it some more to increase our sense of group identity

what was wrong with an oakley sticker?

I actually quite like the symbol but unfortunately ''Howard's Battlers'' have turned it into the Aussie equivalent of having swastika on your forehead. Nothing wrong with being a bit Nationalistic, it's what you do with that Nationalism that is dangerous.

let's just deport any cunt stupid enough to have one

This is my kind of prejudice.

its just like the eureka stockade flag

nothing wrong with what it symbolises

its just unfortunate that idiots have co-opted it

I wear my Eureka t-shirt with pride !

i have ned kelly on my forehead, ford written on my left hand knuckles and a chinese symbol that i think means ''get fucked up''. i'm glad those weren't singled out.

jeez, sorry to offend you rigid. we can take up a collection to pay for the lasering to remove yours if you like...

I have a eureka logo on my melbourne victory scarf.

I agree with evil though - we need some way of taking back the flag from these racist cunts. Some act of true humanism done publicly in the name of the flag or something.

Only 4 posts in and ya nailed it rigid, well done lad.

Personally I am more offended by coolsies dressing in clothes and sporting hairdo's that are from a generation that they were not part of.

as you bloody well should brother!!!!

it's not your fault moron skinheads who don't even understand that a whole shitload of Chinese fought under that flag - use it as a symbol of their bullshit

just like a hindu mate of mine who has a traditional hindu tattoo and gets shit from random idiots on the street because of the swastica in the artwork - heck its not his fault hitler reversed it and used it as a symbol for his nonsense

i don't understand the fuss, they aren't particularly attractive, and i can't relate to national pride, but surely it is the actions rather than a piece of ink that maketh the person?

yeah and the actions of most people who so proudly have them tattoo'd is fucking disgusting

usually followed by a sticker of the map of australia with ''if you don't like it - leave''

but not all of them mo, is what i'm gettin' at.

in my experience plenty of culturally elitist of inner city types are just as ignorant, bigoted and reactionary as the as the the suburban bogans they despise.

Eurrrgghhhh. I used to go to uni with a bogan arguing on the pro-southern cross tatts camp, when I brought up something about the Eureka Stockade and symbolism. She was all like ''What the fuck! No-one's ever heard of the Eureka Stockade, nobody cares''. I can honestly say I felt winded from her sheer ignorance.

but surely it is the actions rather than a piece of ink that maketh the person?

exactly. but it seems every guy i've seen with one lately has been exactly the sort of boneheaded shirtless fuckstick that gives an otherwise proud hostorical symbol a bad name.

with the blue ink a slab of green cans seems an obligatory accessory.

I would actually wear those contacts, as a joke.

MIchael Vartan has a southern cross tattoo, and he seems like an alright dude.

(Why did Facebook targeted advertising think I'd be interested in such a thing?)

Did you just join ''1,000,000 PROUD AUSSIES''?

there's this family of obese flabby-armed bitches and skinhead boyfriends a few streets away with australian flags as bedroom curtains and a big boxing kangaroo plastered on a wall out the front for everyone to see. and the ute is completely decked out in dumbarse stickers, hurr hurr ''back off, this car farts'', ''makin babies on board'' etc. then i noticed the obligatory ''fuck off, we're full'' sticker. so i printed out wikipedia's page of countries ranked by population density and stuck it on their ute, with australia highlighted at the bottom next to greenland and some tiny pacific islands no one has heard of. another thing i've seen is the ''fuck off'' sratched out with ''of love'' added at the end, so it reads ''we're full of love''. daww :3

well, tomorrow is the day all these people look forward to most.

beware the National Day whilst Nationalistic tools are drinking.

a friend of mine asks people with this tat ''are there any other countries which you can see the Southern Cross from?'' just to test their intelligence.

I would would pedantically reply ''Don't you mean 'Are there any other countries from which you can see the southern cross'?'' except that since I don't have the tat, the question wouldn't come up.

i was trying to phrase the question in that manner, but i was too busy trying to serve drunken people with southern cross tattoos who took a sickie today. jerks.

Brazil has it too. Plus many other constellations - including my favourite Canis Major, the Greater Dog.

Also - you don't see the portuguese flag shoved into a corner do you?

god these tattoos annoy the hell out of me. It's like they branded a good portion of those people that have them so you could identify a dickhead in our society.

Jesus.

is she barry humphries' stylist?

she is barely fuckable but still fuckable

She is cricket WAG/slag Haley Bracken.

i saw a southern cross decal on the back window of a really nice old MG the other day - my brain had a really painful envy/contempt spasm and then i stopped thinking about it

Stayed at Kandos & Littlerach's the other month, near Wollongong.

Went to the beach there, never seen so many in my life, bizarrely many were coupled with tribal tatts or chinese characters wtf?

i don't see what's so special about the southern cross.

anyone got pics of a Milky Way tattoo or some other spiral arm galaxy? or the horse head nebula. or even a giant full moon with accurate craters and moon landing sites!

Exactly tinyman... It's a constellation that can be seen from... wait for it... the whole of the southern hemisphere! It's not like it's unique to Australia.

haha. i think bogans would be at least 12% more lovable if they had wombats and koalas tattooed on them instead of the southern cross.

I asked for a Southern Cross tattoo, but I got Milky Way instead. Stupid tattooist inked the chocolate bar on my shoulder.
