Patriotism
Its hard to agree with anything that Peter Costello says, but this week he finally said something that made sense to me.
He is calling for tougher citizenship rules and anybody not taking there pledge seriously to have there citizenship revoked. He claimed you could go to citizenship ceremonies anywhere around the country and you would get the feeling that the pledge was just a necessary formality.
I am not a racist but i think that for too long Australia has thrown open its doors to everybody, we have accepted many different cultures into our country and then changed our ways to accomodate them, we do away with nativity scenes so as not to upset those who dont celebrate christmas, some schools dont even put up christmas trees.
Yes lets let everybody into Australia lets share this beautiful country of ours with whoever wants to share it, but lets not change what we have, lets not sacrifice our culture and history to keep others happy.
Try getting into the US or the UK for anything other than a 2 year visa, go to France and see if they will change there ways and there culture for you, good luck getting a sausage off the barbecue at a cafe in France. They wont even know what your asking for cause if your not speaking French you wont get the time of day.
As for those clowns at the University of Queensland selling the flag burning kits, even if you are born and bred Australians you should be shipped off, You dont deserve to live in our country TRAITORS
We should all honour the flag, the flag millions of our soldiers have fought and died under, Perhaps there is a good case that the Aboriginal flag should have been incorporated into the Australian flag. I feel that we cannot change the flag, it is something that we have had for over 100 years now we must keep it as it is, we could fly both flags togethor, side by side something that ALL AUSTRALIANS regardless of skin colour can be proud to salute and honour.
