East Timor was a tiny nation that posed zero threat to Indonesia and during WWII the East Timorese were our allies, they helped us fight the Japs.Now why didnt we help out our mates?I theorise that Australians are happy to be very minor players on the world stage, we are happy not to call the shots. The shots are called from Washington.I feel we arent as independent as we could be. We are not as strong as we could be.We should strive for a bigger population. With de-salination we can support more peeps.We should occasionally disagree with Washington because I feel they totally take us for granted. (Yanks dont even know we were in Vietnam)We should consider our own nukes so that we dont need the US or UK.Look at our Canadian cousins, they have balls, they dont always do US bidding. Theyve got 30million and are in the G8. (They didnt attend Iraq or Vietnam btw)And, personally, I think we need a new flag, Im sorry, the current one is not as great as it could be. We should have one of the best flags in the world. And, hey, why not throw in a republic (although I kinda dont see a huge need for one).I'm just rambling but it disappoints me that we are seemingly happy to be pipsqueaks on the real world stage but masters of the sporting one - we can be both.

I dare not mention visa. mastercards, world banks. hitler, osama, USA and jews......Johnny AUS parrotted the US president when he said simple, this is the new world order...Got something to do with fundamental christianity... and actually its a fight that has been goin for hundreds of years ...Do you wonder why people complain about the global alliance... It is an unelected manager with its own agenda....Usually people call it the World Bank...It is owned by 200 private families... They all sponsor the Bushesand unfortunatly for them they all just happen to be Joooossssss...Last year the world bank ( all 200 families) shared 750 billion dollars profit between them (and 300 billion was insurance) for just being smarter than we are... Now go back to spray painting and leave the evolution of mankind to the money men.....

As much as it sh*ts me to have another countries flag on our flag too many Aussies fought (my grandfather and uncle) and died under that flag so i dont think it should change...my 2c's...

Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 2m 29d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 01/02/07 12:21 PM Share Posted 01/02/07 12:21 PM I think we should have been a republic 10 years ago.Religion should be banned from any political decisions WORLDWIDEGeorge W should be impeached and jailed for crimes against inteligence and common senceI would rather keep our flag as it has been ours for a long time and we all like it. If people want the union jack removed, then add the abbo flag in place of it.We should make decisions that affect our country for our country NOT to be part of a Coalition. The USA are self appointed holy crusaders with a hidden agenda and a lot to answer for.
