Hmmm mines a tricky one - I was very briefly born in Australia while my parents were there. Never really lived there so I don't count myself Australian in any way, which is why I'll put my vote in for UK instead. I'm actually Scottish, but my parents travelled around a bit - so I've lived in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Scotland and England before moving to New Zealand 13 years ago.

Shouldn't that have been Sanbona since you were saying it to more than one person?
But anyway, Sawubona. Unjani?

Edit: But I could be wrong because it is many years since I had to learn Zulu, and I can only remember how to say, "hello, how are you, I'm well and you?, I am well too, sit down" because that's how the class greeting went with the teacher at the start of each lesson!

[Riff Raff]

Nothing tricky about that girlfriend.. you are an AUSSIE Chick..

I was a few weeks old when they left. My parents and brother were all born in Scotland, and I was conceived there! But I will admit to having an Australian passport - which I only got because the British Passport Office was on strike at the time.

So you were born at the top of the ugly tree, fell down hitting every branch on the way before falling into the fucked-up river and being bashed with the stupid rocks. Not only that but you were lucky enough to be dragged out the water and beaten with the shit bush.
I heard that......

What I would like to know is why you're proud to fly a flag that stands (stood) for slavery, and lack of human rights.

Or maybe it's the fact that the Confederates were responsible for over 300,000 US lives being lost.

Ya know, all those great American traditions...

[Ixion]

Technically (rash though I am correcting a Texan about the War Betwixt the States), they were not "rebels". They were secessionists.The Confederate States position was that each of the constituent states had the right, at any time, to secede from the Union. Having done so, they were of course no longer part of the "United States" and could not be rebels. It was the Yankees who called them rebels. And, the Yankees won, and of course the winner always gets to write the history books.

Some might also think that Messrs Lincoln and Seward had somewhat to do with the 300000 Unionist lives lost (not to mention the half million or so Confederate deaths, military and cvilian); or the sacking and plundering of the South

And, if you want some real examples of slavery and lack of human rights , google on "Pinkerton AND Homestead". Or, for that matter "Waterfront Strike 1951".

The Southern slave owner had at least a financial incentive to see that his slaves were kept alive and healthy. It cost him money to replace them. The bourgois capitalist had no incentive to keep his proletarian slaves alive. It was to his advantage to work them literally to death, whilst starving them, and their wives and children on less than subsistance wages. The Walmart chain today carries on this great tradition.

I love it when you talk in communist terms :love:

I suppose you're just playing debbil's advocate though.

[Waylander]

OMGWTFBBQ, the whole north south thing has grown far beyond just the cival war and slavery. And if you study right, you'll see that slavery was not even a big factor in the cause of the war.

What it is now is showing pride in your heritage and your home. The only state that still takes any of that slavery/war stuff serious is Alabama.

i never did take too much to the whole "yank v. Confederate " thing.. i have kin on both sides of the line..i'm an American.. i consider myself a "buckeye" (Ohio) since i lived there for the majority of my life ( although like i said, i have lived in quite a few states.. nature of the biz i was in at the time..)

Yank / Reb thing just divides an already divided nation even further.. kinda like the Kiwi / Maori thing..just sad at this period in history that we have to sub-divide ourselves even further

1)Human
2)male
3)white
4)American
5) Mid-Westerner
6)Pagan
7)Asatru'
8) O positive

everyone different than that is evil or wrong.. right??

[Waylander]

Never said that and you should know e better than that. I never hold someones history against them. I'll like/dislike someone for who they are as a person and by thier personality, not by their race, creed, gender or whatever.

I'm just proad of where I come from, what's so wrong with that?

[Ixion]

Nowt wrong at all. "Dixie, Dixie, Dixieland for ever"

[SARGE]

I'm just proad of where I come from, what's so wrong with that?


nothing wrong at all with being proud of your past.. but i think right now at this point, its better not to class ourselves as reb's or Yanks and just be proud to be American

united we stand and all that..

too many people in this world against us already.. dont need to be against each other little bro..


(i still have the Stars N Bars on my wall man.. nuttin wrong with that at all)
