Good morning, on this day we become legendary
Everything we dreamed of
WHAT?!? Armadillos are crazy.
“Many felt strongly patriotic about it - and for some, this was quite a racist or exclusionary type of patriotism - but it wasn’t a particularly conscious thing for many.”
I remember when I was living in Perth I met a guy who had matching tattoos on the inside of both of his biceps. The were of a green and gold boxing Kangaroo INSIDE of a Southern Cross. Just calling him a racist wouldn’t do him justice because he was also one of the most misogynistic people I have ever met. Anyway I’m not saying everyone in Western Australia is like that but his views were definitely reflective of a pretty large cross section of the population. Not that I’m saying any other state in Australia is necessarily better either but it sure was pretty blatant over in the west so I guess what I’m getting at is that the conclusions drawn from this study are not surprising at all, and even though I’m extremely proud to call myself an Australian I have very conflicted feelings regarding patriotism and how it should be expressed. I think there’s an argument to be made that it’s a few people ruining it for everyone and that sucks because I don’t think anyone who is proud of their county should feel ashamed of it’s flag.
Darwin is like this weird little city just doing it’s own thing up there in the Northern Territory and all you ever hear about is bizarre shit like this happening. Seriously, wtf Darwin? Why is this guy only doing 6 years in low security for bashing someone to death with a plank of wood? and then he just walks out because someone left a door unlocked. Here’s another quote from the article,
“The escape should never have happened and the gate should have been secured,” NT Correctional Services executive director Ken Middlebrook said.
No. Fucking. Shit. Sherlock.
