Buckshot Bear Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Australia Day 26th January 2024 Every other nation's day is awesome and worthy of celebration. Wokeness has gotten such a foothold here now from the toehold it had just a few years ago. The rabid Left here now despise Australia Day and refer to it as Invasion Day. There are millions of people who would jump at the chance to live in Australia. Maybe a swap can be arranged between those who hate it here and those who want to live here?

Buckshot Bear Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 Sorry to b!tch, but somethings just wrangle me beyond despair. The minority of complainers calling it Invasion Day are a miniscule number compared to the Australians that will be flag waving and enjoying and celebration Australia Day this coming January the 26th.......but which group do you think the 24/7 news leeches put the spotlight on?

Eyesa Horg Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Sorry to hear that mate. You appear to be in the same boat as us. Woke is gonna make us all broke, with the exception of the upper left. It's a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 When I was in Australia, about 25 years ago, I picked up a book that described the First Fleet as well as much of the culinary of Oz. no mention of vegemite. A little bit of a dictionary. Underground mutton is rabbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Living near and working in Los Angeles I encountered many, MANY, self absorbed misfits that called themselves “woke”. They also called “Columbus Day” Invasion day. My response to them in this regard was “If you feel this way you should leave the U.S. and go back where you came from” That usually shut them up for a moment. Then they would say “But I am from here, the U.S.” Then I would say “Then you should give everything you own to those you think are supposed to be here. If you’re not willing to do that you should just shut your mouth.” That did shut them up as they walked away trying to come up with a response. I do not miss being around those mindless fools.
