Sorry but I will be brutally honest. Australian Culture is an oxymoron.
It's an illusion. There is no culture. Anyone who thinks otherwise are
quite welcomed to list elements of this unique Australian culture to
this thread.
Being surrounded in this cultureless vacuum, this is perhaps why people
like Mike Lucke have a severe problem and lack of appreciation and
fascination with foreign and exotic cultures. He's cultureless. Not
surprising since he and the "majority of Australians" he claims to
represent show all the symptoms of quite a cultureless bunch.
So Australia is mostly a Anglo-Saxon Judeo-Christian cultureless
wasteland, is it, except for the kullerful kulcher what's been brung
ere from other places, _interesting_ places?
Just what is this "culture" that you claim is missing from this once
great country of ours? Should there be more of those kullerful Asian
types that run and dance and gyrate madly down the street carrying a
forty meter long papier mache dragon or some fool thing, while others
chant and bash on brass cymbal type things and other fools run along
behind them with paper lanterns or streamers or stuff?
Perhaps you regret the fact that we don't all get out our prayer mats
20 times a day and pray to Mecca?
Perhaps it's the well-attended public floggings and amputations that
happen in certain Middle eastern countries that are needed to brighten
up this here Land of the Bruces?
Yeah. Well, we Bruces and Franks and Norms would rather just sit at
home in the blue singlet and watch Neigh Bores on the telly, eh? Or
the footy on a satdy arvo. Clearly inferior, these Bruces and Norms.
Why can't we have kullerful kultchural things happening like wot they
got in forrin places? Not just watching the telly.
What can we do to alleviate this colourless culturelessness that's
blanketing this country like an enormous grey fog?
