Who finds this shirt offensive?

[Rorschach]

Nope

[mellie]

Nope

Me either, I cant see why people kicked up such a fuss about this T-shirt.

It should say "Fuck Off"

So since it doesn't... it is not offensive.

Who would be offended by that.... I know... those that come.. whinge but stay to enjoy the great things we offer compared to most countries in the world.

To them... they should be offended by every Aussie they met with standard statement... "well if you don't like it... why don't you go back home.... fuck orf" like we used to tell the poms and wogs..... now everyone else can be told the same as well.

I'll be buying one of these shirts and wearing it next Australia day.

I agree with Miranda Devine and Andrew Bolt on this subject...

Wasn't there a T-Shirt years back "Fit in or Fuck Off" ?

Maybe it was just on the internet.....

it isn't offensive to me but it makes two assumptions: 1) leaving and resettling somewhere else is easy to do and 2) one doesn't have the right to express a contrary opinion. a similar phrase was used in the States during the Vietnam War to those who protested it. well, decades later, it was the protesters who were right.

I'm going to create a new Australian flag T-shirt Logo....

"Like it or lump it"


I think this sounds more Australian than the above.

Well that's just mostly bullshit AiA.
Unlike Australia when you arrive in America you are supposed to become American... is that not so?
