No Picture THE AMAZING JOE Wanna Be	#1 by THE AMAZING JOE KOOL!! at Oct 26, 1987 at 12:10 PM EST
	Willia, if you knew what they did to Truganini and her people you'd want to burn it too. But look, I don't think they are actually advocating burning the Union Jack, as back in Britain it does mean a lot. However, that's in Britain. They put it there for a symbolic meaning, to show their rage that a British Monarch is the Head of State of Australia.

No Picture Badass	#2 by guess wha' i suck at Oct 20, 2000 at 8:54 PM EST
	"I see the Union Jack in flames, let it burn" I don't think this is a great lyric at all. There are better ways to get your point across then advocating burning a flag which means so much to millions of people. Can you imagine the outrage if someone sang about burning the aboriginal flag?Strange to see a band that are usually so articulate and well-spoken to stoop to the levels of the rent-a-crowd, feral buffoons we see burning the flag every second week while protesting against something they know nothing about. And by the way, this song was written by Rob Hirst, not Garrett.

No Picture KING KEVIN Average	#3 by KING KEVIN BLAIR at Sep 1, 2001 at 7:54 PM EST
	What kind of people are we? Well I don't know about me but you sound pretty dam racist, Pauline. You make no sense. We have had nearly 0 military casualties on our soil, but they're not in short supply when we fight overseas. I assume you were at the race riots in Sydney? Those didn't turn out so well, Europeans have never had much luck taking on Middle Eastern men on beaches, "we cursed and stumbled across that shore, what for?". Also, we are hailed by the international community for our tolerance and multiculturalism, immigration not only started this country, it makes it what it is today. Now, I'll leave you to go dress up in your robes and burn a cross or something.....

	i agree 100 % with the line, "The backbone of this country's broken", being an aussie and hearing this to seeing what the country now is the statement makes sense. there are so many immigrants (mainly asians) who have come in and totally destroyed our country but that's not the main point. the main point is that this line also represents those who have died on our soil those who wanted to see australia triumph in wars and we take it for granted. what sort of people are we?
