So... Uh... What the hell, Australia?!?!

[Baron von Blitztank]

Indeed, truly every single person in Australia was involved in that protest but couldn't stand to America's raw strength and might!
Why if you squint in one of the pictures you can even see our very own Yahtzee Croshaw fighting the oppression due to the commands of the Australian Hive mind!

Just like to point out that in Sydney, the muslim community who cause all the trouble (it's like 10-15% of the greater community) are treated with the same level of respect as green ants, and considering our police carry .40S&W Glocks with 14 rounds, they're lucky they weren't shot.

Australia, in general, tends to not give a shit. We have an atheist female leader and we only hate her because she keeps implementing bullshit taxes we shouldn't need.

Lets be clear. Not a single Australian was involved in this deplorable riot. It was the cancerous rot that has worked it's way into our country like a virus. They in no way represent the views of Australians and I'm sure most would agree with me that all involved should be shipped off the one of the third world middle eastern shit holes they seem to like so much.

The problem is you get labeled as 'racist' for saying things like that, yet ask any fucking cop working in sydney and they will tell you the same thing: 90% of their problems stem from 1% of the fucking population.

If it wasn't for the bikies the only people causing trouble in this country would be the lebs/muslims who haven't lived here for more than 1 generation. Yes, that's a racist view, but go down to fucking sydney on a saturday night and when you get a group of 5-6 teenage leb cunts causing shit only to go down the road and have ANOTHER group of them starting MORE shit, feel free to try and not be racist then. It's absolutely bullshit, it's at the point where you can't walk through sydney at night anymore unless you're in a decent sized group or don't look white.

I don't like being racist, but living near sydney it's bloody hard not to be.

I think I would be upset too if I lived in a country where everything wants you dead, how do you people manage to stay sane?

To all the Muslims that rioted over this pathetic video (yeah, like they're members of the Escapist), read this satirical article [http://www.theonion.com/articles/no-one-murdered-because-of-this-image,29553/]. If you understand the joke, you'll understand why civilised society hates you.

If it wasn't for the bikies the only people causing trouble in this country would be the lebs/muslims who haven't lived here for more than 1 generation.

Let's not forget the Cronulla beach riots. "Aussie pride" bogans cause their share of trouble as well. Not that they were fully to blame (like you said, there's a lot of shit caused by Muslim immigrants), and the retaliation attacks from the "lebs and wogs" were far more violent, but drunken riots attacking "lebs/wogs" in general isn't the way to do things.

 

[Joccaren]

Wow, did that article imply that Sydney was the capital of Australia?
Like...
I get it probably didn't mean it, but that caption is poorly worded.

In other news, generalizations about a whole country's populace are made over the actions of a few.

Wait, that's not news. That happens all the freaking time everywhere. Somebody get me a new article!

 

[articuno1_au]

So what if I sound a little bit racist... But, seriously, they come out to live in Australia (predominantly catholic/aboriginal populace) then force their beliefs on the local community, then expect to have the same rights as everyone else....

I think you might find his point is you can't force your beliefs and rights down other people's throats while belittling other beliefs on one hand, then expect them to respect your beliefs on the other.

Also, there's a consular building for the US in Sydney: http://sydney.usconsulate.gov/

So basically, now there protesting at U.S. embassy in freaking AUSTRALIA...

So... I ask, what the hell is up with Australia hating us 'Mericans now?

It's CNN, the very definition of liberal media. Next time I suggest not believing anything they say. Check a more credible site like huffington post, BBC, Fox news, or daily mail.

Fox News? Daily Mail? You have got to be kidding me....

Yeah, he won my award for funniest post of the day.

CNN: One of the most reputable and trusted news sources is "Liberal Media".

Whilst HuffPo, the actual extreme Liberal one is "Credible", despite also posting anti-medicine and anti-vaccine nonsense.

And of course, Fox News, the propaganda kings, known for their almost-racism, and always-stupid commentary.

And of course, the Daily Mail, Britain's least reputable tabloid, known for publishing whatever nonsense might increase their readership.

Can I add one to the list? The Onion-I hear it's pretty accurate...

About 25% of the Australian populace is Catholic, less than 1% follows an Aboriginal religion.

And yes, you do sound rather racist.

Yeah. He was doing okay until he said "then expect to have the same rights as everyone else".

That is a racist opinion.

You do realise that the right frequently bashes the BBC for being too liberal and "infested by leftists", to quote one daily newspaper?

Personally I think they're fairly neutral in their presentation but then, I lean to the left, so if they were biased I doubt I'd pick up on it since the bias would be in my favour.

Oh, and one other thing - regarding that silly idea of a "liberal media" a lot of people like to spout off about, have a read of this; http://letterstoconservativeparents.wordpress.com/2012/02/24/sorry-dad-the-media-isnt-liberal-and-fox-news-isnt-reliable/

 

[Meatspinner]

Oh boy. I wonder what cooky off topic discussions I'll find to day. Maybe some perky ponies a dash of lighthearted lolcats or even some silly...

*looks at thread*

Spoiler

Sysly though, cant we keep this sh*t in the sh*t flinging forums where they belong

OT (to avoid those arbitrary warnings): Look at image #10. Thats not the us flag. Looks more like the Icelandic flag that got confused with the UK flag... again.
I smell stock photo.

 

[Woodsey]

It's a load of rather over-zealous Muslims protesting the US embassy in Australia. You're acting as if regular Australians have stood up to tell America to go fuck itself for no reason.

I mean, did you even read the article you posted?

Check a more credible site like [...] Fox news, or daily mail.

But no, you're right - it'd be far more appropriate to check the two most racist, anti-Islamic mainstream 'news' outlets for information on this.

 

[DugMachine]

What I find funny is how attacking fucking embassies is somehow sending a message. Attacking and killing innocent diplomats and workers who had NOTHING to do with the film seems logical to extremist whack jobs.

Guess that's why they're extremist. *shrug* just wish this would all stop.

 

[eels05]

Lets be clear about this,the majority of Australians are disgusted by this event.

It was,like ususal a small minority of extremist dickheads who kicked of the worst of the fighting.Isn't it always?

 

[trouble_gum]

there

They're.

So... I ask, what the hell is up with Australia hating us 'Mericans now?

I'm surprised. With how much Australians hate Muslims, you'd think they'd be too busy infighting down under.

I'm surprised that it took until the second page for someone to correct "there" to "they're."

In other news, Fox News are a reliable information source as opposed to those horrible liberals at CNN.

[Winthrop]

People with hate in their hearts and minds will be violent no matter what race, religion or cause they belong to.

Thats something more people need to keep in mind. This isn't a Muslim thing or an Australian thing, its a hateful thing.

OT: Anyway not much I can add. Don't generalize things so much. A protest is not always the view of the majority.

 

[geK0]

Is this still over that video that was posted a while back? Why are US embassies being attacked over this? I don't get it...

AND WHY ARE PEOPLE OUTRAGED THAT THE US DEFENDS THEIR EMBASSIES?!?! Do they expect them to just let rioters swarm in? fucking stupid people!

 

[Tippy]

While we're at it, let's remind everyone that extreme minorities don't represent Islam on a whole. There were a lot of Muslims at those riots begging their brothers and sisters to stop the anger and the violence.

Their efforts were in vain, ultimately this will be seen as just another example demonstrating how violent/unstable followers of Islam are. Even if it was just an extreme minority and the protesters had good intentions, the minority ruined it. Not the first time it's happened really.

In the end, events like these just make me more and more scared to be near or associate myself with any person who I know follows Islam.

I know for a fact that sane minded, kind hearted Islam-followers exist...but as the days go by, there's just more and more proof of the increasing percentage of them who are absolutely mental.

The patern is occuring often enough to convince me (and countless others) that the teachings of this religion are either extremely poorly-defined (how do some people interpret the same book to promote peace and tolerance, while others it to promote intolerance and mass-genocide?!)...or generally just poisonous.

I'm aware that the same deeds were done in the name of the Holy Bible, but those were in the dark ages where the population was uncivilized and uneducated. Sure Christian fanatics exist, but they're not causing world-wide trouble and genocide...not like Islamic fanatics. I myself used to be a Christian and it is truly one of the most tolerant and peaceful religions (along with Bhuddism).

As a civilization we're far more intelligent now and I don't see hundreds of terrorist attacks happening in the name of Buddah or Jesus, but the terms "terrorist" "extremist" etc have become synonomous with the word "Islam". Why is this so? What is up with that religion?

 

[cikame]

Why do the religious respond to anti religion with violence, their gods are gods, it's not like people who don't believe is going to make their deity disappear.
Is this childish behavior, violence or other violence like it supposed to make me believe? And if it is, is it through fear or... some kind of desperation?
Stay away from me i have as much a right to ignore religeon as you do to believe.

Some people were paid to riot. Some people worked under a different context and thought the United States Government endorsed the extrmely anti-Islam film. Others were just very Conservative Muslims who heard the same idiot who burned their holy book also made a film portraying their Prophet as a paedophile and went apeshit.

My favorite ascertation was on the NPR website: "So a bunch of extremely conservative Christians made a shitty amateur movie that pissed off a bunch of extremely consevative Muslims and now people are dead. Why don't we put all of the extremely conservative groups on an island and then let them fight their own fights?"

Don't get me wrong. I'll defend the Pastor's Right to make a movie saying whatever he wants to say, but the Right to Free Speech doesn't protect somebody from the consequences of said speech, and this asswipe already cost people their lives last year when he burned Korans from the safety of his church's backyard several hundred miles away from any Muslim.

In these times most regligions promote tolerance towards other religions and non-religious people. I know for sure that Christianity and Bhuddism promote peace and respect for everyone as humans regardless of their belief (or lack of).

Islam is probably the only remaining mass-scale religion where many believers still stick to acts of violence/murder against non-believers (or anything that goes against them), it's like they're stuck in an extremely primite mindset.
