HOW IS XENOXNEWS CELEBRATING AUSTRALIA DAY?

“The first thing you notice about Australian culture is that it’s pathetically thin..... The thinness means that modern Australia has fallen for American culture in a way that no one else could....Mimicry is a point of pride." - Philip Weiss, American commentator

we didnt have the flag shoved in our face every 5 minutes?

It wasnt that long ago; 15 years?

And its not only American culture we want to copy but their economic system. Having a voiceless poor serving the needs of an overfed obnoxious upper class.

I can't see the problem - the corporations get all the national assets, and the battlers get the flag to play with. So everybody is happy!

Back in the old country I was known as a bit of a "larrikin" also.
What could be more patriotic than to impale your little yankee glove puppet high on a flag pole?
Only my humble little suggestion...

It flutters proudly in my front yard. And all my neighbours love it too.
So if you don't like it why don't you piss off back to Iran or North Korea or one of those places you'd prefer to live in.

God bless Australia and our PM.

Good on yer Digger! Don't get too pissed with yer retard RSL mates, and become unable to hoist the fine old national rag. And yes, it is time God snatched the very elderly and infirm PM away from us.
Gawd, this patriotic stuff really takes it outta ya!

What time does the TRADITIONAL FLAG BURNING CEREMONY begin. I wouldn't want to be late.

Such a flag-burning ceremony is never complete without first wrapping the flag around the proud national suckhole. (It's only right!)
And don't be bloody stingy with the kerosene!
*CAPTAIN AUSTRALIA*

retarded looking Confederate flag. The stars are all mangled up and out of order; it has a few too many bars, too much blue, and the decent part of the flag is off center.

God bless the Confederacy! And, you ausies stop making a foolish mockery of our beloved Confederate Flag.

Your right Ricky. The Confederate Flag is rather handsome. But then again so is the Swastika, but you wouldn't hang that out in polite company either.

I have always found the swastika to have an energizing effect on my good self. Especially when I wear it with my fishnet stockings!

I hope you all have done the right thing this Aussie Day and burnt a flag or two!

My flag is fluttering and flaming in the breeze!

I cut the Union Jack out and fly my flag with pride... and a bottle of Bundy

On New Year's Day President Obama quietly signed into law the National Defence Authorisation Act, granting himself the power to indefinitely detain US citizens and any other global citizens without trial or explanation, tearing up the US constitution and centuries of habeas corpus, recognised by the US Supreme Court, in 1991, as ''the fundamental instrument for safeguarding individual freedom against arbitrary and lawless state action''.

Last week, video footage taken in Afghanistan showed four US marines urinating over men they had just killed, joking and laughing as they went about their business. Florida Republican Allen West, a former lieutenant-colonel in the US Army, termed subsequent protests as ''self-righteous indignation''.

Just this week, Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich received his judgment in a military court after pleading guilty to negligent dereliction of duty in relation to the murder of 24 unarmed civilians in Haditha, Iraq, in 2005. No murder charges were laid over the slaughter, which included 10 women and children. Despite his guilty plea, Wuterich was not given a prison sentence.

Of the eight other US marines involved in the horrific attack, seven did not face trial and one was acquitted. ''Shoot first, ask questions later'' was Wuterich's command as the marines stormed the homes of the innocent Iraqi civilians.

We as a nation oppose other nations we perceive as lawless, inhumane and unjust.

On Australia Day 2012, all Australians should be asking, ''Does the US, our nation's traditional ally and friend, represent the values we aspire to in the 21st century?'' If the answer is no, we should be forging greater friendships elsewhere and refocusing our strategic priorities, starting with the cancellation of the planned US military base installation in the Northern Territory. We deserve better.

I had an Australia Day hangover this morning. I was dry wretching black blood.

Ben this great nation of ours has been bending over for it's master since it was created... Previously we had to do what the British wanted, now it's the yanks.

We seem to be a small terrified place, wishing there were more white people around us.

This here flag 'll look right nice 'top Australien Flag Poles:
