| 31 | If you look closely, you can see the Southern Cross here: http://www.scas.org/Crux2b.JPG | Should Australia and New Zealand remove the Union Jack from their flag? |
| 32 | How strange.... you learn something every day, huh? | Should Australia and New Zealand remove the Union Jack from their flag? |
| 33 | Gosh! I'd never thought of the Southern Cross being a Christian thing (and I'm a Christian, so you might think that I WOULD try to appropriate it!)... it's just stars that look like a cross. I think you're being a little sarcastic there about the hammer and crescent. | Should Australia and New Zealand remove the Union Jack from their flag? |
| 34 | The most popular meats here are chicken, lamb and beef, and pork is up there too. Lamb is much more popular in Australia than in the USA (of course, the US tariffs on Australian / New Zealand lamb have been partly responsible for that, but that's another story...). I think there is a mix of reactions to kangaroo meat. In part, people don't like the way they're hunted and some of that is due to misinformation (reports of kangaroos being slowly bludgeoned to death...  The only problem is that the animal rights activists are working very hard to stop stores from stocking kangaroo meat. I don't mind if they choose not to eat it themselves, but I would like to be able to buy it conveniently! | Should Australia and New Zealand remove the Union Jack from their flag? |
| 35 | It is. I grew up on a farm, and I found it very difficult to buy meat when I moved out of home because I didn't know how it had been killed. It's so hard to find out all this stuff! When you're removed from the land, and removed from primary production, it's hard to know how anything gets to the store you buy from... I get frustrated about it... | Should Australia and New Zealand remove the Union Jack from their flag? |
| 36 | Everyone wants their country to be better than it is. There's nothing wrong with trying to improve it. Why do you think it's bad to want to make the world better? I would rather have a country that looks at the way it lives and tries to improve it rather than being stagnant. I find it hard to believe that you are against change. Of course, I understand that we disagree on some things about what would make Australia a better place, but I'm really surprised to hear you arguing that Australia should not change at all.... | Should Australia and New Zealand remove the Union Jack from their flag? |
| 37 | You're putting a lot of words into other people's mouths there. | Should Australia and New Zealand remove the Union Jack from their flag? |
| 38 | "It's all window dressing and designed to make the left feel self righteous by doing something they feel is going to make immigrants feel more welcome." How do you know that "the left" (whoever they are) want to change the flag to make immigrants feel welcome? It's not my opinion. It's not your opinion. Whose opinion is it? | Should Australia and New Zealand remove the Union Jack from their flag? |
| 39 | And there is no-one on the right who supports the republic? There is no-one on the right who wants to change the flag? Your definition of left and right still confuses me. And don't patronisingly talk to me about consulting a dictionary, I know perfectly well what classic left and right wing idealogies are, the thing is that the neat little boxes of left and right don't always fit. | Should Australia and New Zealand remove the Union Jack from their flag? |
| 40 | I argue that left and right don't exist anymore because I firmly believe that the old definitions of left and right are not accurate anymore. I don't find them to be helpful definitions because they divide people who have other ideologies in common. | Should Australia and New Zealand remove the Union Jack from their flag? |
