Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel

Personally, I've always felt he actually meant Nationalism or Jingoism. Diseases that all too many here suffer from. Roll Eyes

More likely he felt a borderless world is a better option Brian

But a patriot will defend their bordered country even if it's chock full of multiculturalists, lefty traitors, homosexuals, muslims and SBS international nutters

patriot |ˈpātrēət|
noun
1 a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors.

Oh, I agree. However, too many here mistake "Jingoism" or "Nationalism" for "Patriotism". Roll Eyes

oh dear bwian.... you should try to bother to read topics before making an ass out of yourself... I already explained all that... twice I think.

I could not give a rat's rear end what water people at the Australian Open drink.
Wimbledon is the only tennis tournemant I ever took any interest in at all, and that was way back in the days of Bjorn Borg, a fairly handy talent with a racquet.

If this is an example of what stirs patriotic fervour, then gawd help us.
Personally when I see people wrapping themselves in Aussie flags, my response is mostly disgust at their self serving hypocrisy.
If you really care you do not need to wrap a bloody coloured rag around you to show it. If your actions have not displayed it, then no amount of vulgar behaviour will convince anyone who uses reason.

Are you against sporting events being sponsored by overseas companies, cods?

I am when they supply goods like DRINKING WATER YES...even more so from CHina who cannot get baby formula right. Angry

got a problem with that?

Perhaps they should provide tap water, from Adelaide.

Cheers!

I had about a week of that kind of water to shower in a fortnight ago. I could not understand why I felt dirtier after a shower compared to before. At least I double filter my water before drinking it. Anyone who does not filter water and then refilter water in another jug is a fool.
