    and no need to flat out insult other users.

    But people can take the piss out of me because of my nationality?

    I live in Taiwan; does that make native Taiwanese aborigine or Chinese?

    My father is Dutch, and lived in Indonesia till such a time as he and the family were told to get the **** out or die, circa 1950. Am I Indonesian, Dutch or Dutch-Indonesian?

    My passport says Australia; ergo, I am Australian. As is anyone who lives there and holds a passport. QED. If you passport says "Commonwealth of Australia", you are Australian.

    Not for being Irish but for taking every possible opportunity to remind people you're "Irish".

    Well, you know what they say about not letting the door hit you on the way out,right? You've heard this phrase before?

    You see, why did you need to take what I said as a negative thing?
    Sorry dude, but I don't see what was negative about what I posted.

    EDIT:

    I mean heck, you even turned what I said about the road into a negative thing. A 18 year old thinking people my age should be watched by the cops...how is that a bad thing!

    Silly me; how could I take someone essentially leeching off Australia as a slight against the inherent greatness of a country you have no idea how lucky you are to be in. Bad craic, I know.

    But if you're so Irish and so not Australia, why stay?

    How am I leeching off Australia? And trust me, I know darn well how lucky I am to be here.
    Wouldn't want to grow up in ANY other country...at all!

    But if you're so Irish and so not Australia, why stay?

    I'm here because my family is here...most of them.
    Don't worry, come June/July next year I'll be gone.



    EDIT:
    Oh and I'll just say that I do believe Australia is the best country in the world...and I've never mocked the country, degraded it, or anything of the type.

    I guess the door comment still withstands. Me, I'm proud as all **** to be Aussie. Guess that's because I'm not one for chic Celtic origin bandwagon hopping. Mea culpa.

    And FYI: "A racial slur is a attacking someone about their nationality...so dosn't that apply? "

    No. Attacking someone on their nationality is bigotry.

    So if you claim to be so Australian, why are you in another country, leeching off them?

    ...and since when did I say they did?
    So what, you think I hate the Chinese now?

    Is it just me, or are your arguments just getting more childish with every post?

    [face_laugh] Mate settle, being sarcastic.

    I work in Taipei. I am an Australia, and I will return home next year. I'm having a year off, and I'm helping the Taiwanese by teaching them English and paying 20% tax (locals pay 10%).

    Okay, fair enough dude. So you're in another country. So how does that differ from me being in Australia?
    Is it because you're contributing to the country?

    It's because I haven't lived my whole life with a RoC passport/nationality whilst pretending to be an Australian.
