Would you take a look at the horsesh*t that just came into my inbox...!!
Needless to say, I expressed gratitude for enlightening me on immigrants... :sarcasm:

:wtf: :puke:

(This is where the email was forwarded to me....)

This is something that I agree with personally. Imagine having a drivers licence photo with your face covered. To me that defeats the purpose of having it in the first place. Silly Western Australia....

1. ....ummm
"This is something that I agree with personally. Imagine having a drivers licence photo with your face covered. To me that defeats the purpose of having it in the first place."

Since when has a driver's license really looked like someone anyway?

2. The last time I saw that
it was about America.

There's probably one with 'the UK' inserted in the appropriate spots too.

And we shouldn't forget Poland of course.

3. To paraphrase the Blues Brothers
"I hate Aussie Freepers!"

Ummmm, don't they realize that Australia was started as a penal colony? While I guess that doesn't preclude a country founded by Christian men and women on Christian principles, I'm not sure that they're the principles the author is thinking of. Like, the "Christians" in Britain did the basic, "not our kind, dear" combined with "not in my back yard" and sent their problem cases to the other side of the world.

4. Why did...
Australia get the Criminals, and America get the Puritans?




Australia won the toss.

But seriously... that letter is a word for word change from one I've seen describing America.

5. I had no idea people from other countries were infected with the
"We're superior" virus. It travels continents I see.
