 Contentious, offensive, or sensible? - Crankcase
Julia Gillard is the new Australian PM.

She says:

Immigrants, not Australians, must adapt. Take it or leave it. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. 'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.

We speak mainly English not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language! Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.

We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us. This is our country, our land, and our lifestyle, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about our Flag, our Pledge, our Christian beliefs, or our way of life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, The right to leave. If you aren't happy here then leave. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here, so accept the country you accepted.

...and now she has offended their God and since he is bigger than her god, he has sent the rains to destroy the infidel.

Ah, maybe I should check my sources before posting. Apologies.

Feel free to lock this nonsense then, mods, and thanks for the heads up, Suppose.
