    Is this more or less ironic than American xenophobia?

      @Etterra

      It’s slightly less ironic.

      The seppos have the world famous Statue of Liberty and a plaque with the words, “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe.”

      Us Aussies still haven’t had the guts to dump the Union Jack from our own flag, let alone establish a bill of rights.

          @brisk

          True. However, that’s buried in the ‘fine print’ of the second verse, and very few people know there is a second verse, let alone the words!

          It’s weird because all you did was ask a question.
