Your problem is that you intensely dislike anyone who disparages Britain. +1 Reality Internet Personality |

People need to grow up and get thicker skins . It's not what you say that makes a comment a racist remark it's the context of the comment and the situation in which it is said more than the actual words ., to many times a comment is meant as a joke so if you can't laugh at your self then your a miserable person . The old saying when in Rome be a Roman apply's to anybody that moves to another country , you don't go there and then whinge about what people say or call you as you can all ways get back on the plane and go back to where you came from if you find the people s comments offensive When i came to Australia i did not understand many of the things people would say to me and took a long time to understand things . When you understand that is a normal thing and part of being what is called a Larrykin and every group of forigners has had the same thing , Chineese , Italian , Veitnameese they have all had to put up with it , it's called a right of passage here and should not be thought off as racist you should wear it like a badge as my father in law did as i do , so grow up people . |

Indeed. Quite right. When another poster calls your post a typical, silly, unthinking post, you should take it in context, laugh at yourself and accept it as that newbie poster's way of making those who've posted much longer accept it as his rite of passage imposed upon others. Indeed. Everything you say is absolutely quite right, chap. |

Not quit shore what your trying to say there . Australia was built on the convict labor from England and is meant as a joke as most Australian can trace there origin back to convicts so it's also meant as a joke to all Australians not just English people But what can i expect from people without a sense of Humor |

Janne over here if a cop comes to you and says stop swearing and using words like that , (not being politically correct) then you just say "f" off i'm a ozzie and we have a "f"ing colourful "f"ing langauge and i'll "f"ing say what the "f"ing words i "f"ing want , so go ahead ya "f"ing onk onk you "f"ing know it will get "f"ing thrown out of "f"ing court ya "f"ing Onk Onk but you must swear heaps so it sounds like your a true blue Australian as it has been thrown out of court for that reason we do have a colourfull language Janne your side of the story does not sound right to me , so some advice next time a cop says something like that to you understand why . He did not believe your story and was trying to pee you off as people make mistakes when they are angry and it is a typical tactic used by cops to test if someone is telling them the truth. Why the hell did you stick around till the cops turn'd up . i would have just given them the bird (the finger) and walked off |

My family all off us cousins uncles and aunts all came here from about 1963 onwards as free men So we are known as 10 pound pom's as that is all it cost to come here back then , we where sponsored by B.H.P back when it was just B.H.P and not BHPBillionton and for a long time being called a 10 pound pom was meant as a insult but not these days it's a badge of honer |

Here's what one judge did to a defendant for flipping the bird. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLA7dQ-uxR0[/url What do you think some police officers will do? |

Sarge i didn't mean flip the bird at the cops but at the people yelling at him . As for assuming he waited well that why i'm asking him seems strange the cops where there . Shorly if they where already there they would have seen him walking up to where it happen'd . 3 cops can't be that blind , but then again maybe they are . |

Here is an article about why racism against Chinese people isn't funny and doesn't have anything to do with needing a 'thicker skin' RACISM AGAINST ASIAN CANADIANS and Anti-Chinese Racism The anti-Chinese laws of the late 1870s and 1880s, and the White Australia Policy of 1901, were declarations that Chinese people were a threat to mainstream Australia; For individual Chinese people, this could mean violence, wrongful arrest, commitment to a “lunatic asylumâ€, forced vaccination, eviction from the farms they’d built up, or being refused permission to re-enter Australia. soo funny...

well Ess maybe you should be telling http://www.anhdo.com.au/ a very funny man make jokes about Asians all the time And i would not do what you comic portrays. But i spose it's ok for them to speak in there own language about westerners which i have seen a lot off in the public and at work . Respect works both ways The white Australia policy was bad and most Australians are ashamed of it and was dropped back in the early 1970's. I have known a lot of Asians that where born here and went to school here and they would not find the thing you show'd in your comic to be offencive it's usually they newer ones that came here that whinge . And they have done them self no favors by not assimulating with the rest of us and living in there enclaves or trying to turn Australia into there own country . http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/stories/s72739.htm The only political assassination in this country was done by.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Newman_%28Australian_politician%29 You may wish to note where it happen'd . I remember it well 6 shoots late at night i had not gone to bed and lived not far from where it happen'd and who was the person that did it and why ? |

well Ess maybe you should be telling So his ironic humour has gone over your head. But i spose it's ok for them to speak in there own language about westerners which i have seen a lot off in the public and at work . Respect works both ways Is Cantonese or Mandarin you speak? What sort of things are they saying? The white Australia policy was bad and most Australians are ashamed of it and was dropped back in the early 1970's. Whinge? You mean complaining about racism is whinging now? Can you hear yourself? And they have done them self no favors by not assimulating with the rest of us and living in there enclaves or trying to turn Australia into there own country . Sorry, the guy did it because he was Chinese or because he was in a gang? Are you saying that all Chinese people are in gangs in Ausralia? Reality Internet Personality |

They called for the police twice and two cars came. One was a friend of the perpetrator! I was then sitting in their hammock 30 yards from their property with my dog who was shaking...

But i spose it's ok for them to speak in there own language about westerners which i have seen a lot off in the public and at work . Respect works both ways Ess it's not only the Asians that do it .I don't understand there language but then i don't need to as i have seen talking in there own languge and then someone else whom does understand it has spoken up that they thought what they said was racist so i am not nieave like you sound like you are . My ex understood Malteese and a few times we where out and some Malteese where saying things and thought nobody understood until my ex spoke up you should have seen there faces when they relised that others did understand .This has also happened at work sites i've worked at . So Respect works both ways Sorry, the guy did it because he was Chinese or because he was in a gang? Are you saying that all Chinese people are in gangs in Ausralia? That shows you didn't even look at the link did you . He was chineese but he was running for the seat of Cabramatta and John Newman was the current sitting member . so why don't you have a look at that link and find out what else it was about before commenting |

It was I who asked the perpetrator to call the police. well next time ,ate just give them the bird and keep walking . And cops in most western country's will try and pee you off to upset you so remember that . As for his comments i think it was a warning . You one this time but don't take it to court or you will lose . Still he shouldn't have said it but it is typical . I got stoped at Redfern station one time by cops and they had the dogs which must have smelt pot on me , i had a container which i did use to put my pot in , but i did not have anything (i was on my way to get some ) anyway they couldn't find anything on me but he did tell me to stop swearing and then i went into the true blue ozzie mode , he was of Europiain or middle eastern appearance and he was with a female cop , he got very peed off with me but knew i knew my rights and he could not do anything ( the other officer was behind him and could not wipe the grin off her face when i went into true blue ozzie mode ) so this twit puts his leather glove on and stand 10 cm from my face and says , "go on then " wanting me to hit him or something i just said , you think i was "f" ing born in a barn bugger off . And then he let me go . I think he got upset when i said you don't like the way i'm talking then go to Sydney airport and buy yourself a one way ticket back where you came from . So don't ever let a cop bate you mate they will all way try but just stay carm and they can't do anything |

It was I who asked the perpetrator to call the police. Hang on. I was Walking the dog in a PUBLIC space. The man who hit me was much taller than me and probably weighing twice as much as I. I first talked with the female officer. no problem. I then talked with the second officer. no problem. Then the perpetrator's friend the "police" officer was adressing me in a racial way. I was even told that I shouldn't walk there anymore. He called it a friendly advice!!!! No Its criminal according the Swedish Constitution. Allemansrätten. A law that we have here since the 14th centuary. Sadly I didn't have no witnesses. Maybe I should buy a "smart" phone and record conversations. |
