Since this is a multicultural homo-friendly forum (XD), I decided to celebrate Australia Day here.
We should all celebrate our culture here in this forum.
Ahmed celebrated Eid, so why not Australia Day?
I did this because there are some Australians in this forum such as Sam & Rena
Australia Day is a celebration of British rule in Australia. The First Fleet arrived in Sydney Cove in 1788, [if my history is correct] and it established British rule in Australia. Though this is the mark of celebrations for Non-Indigenous Australians, this is the marking point of the destruction of Aboriginal culture and society and led the way for many more hardships such as the Stolen Generations and other cruel acts done by the British.
I'm guessing it's just like 4th of July in the US where we throw fireworks and sing patriotic songs and cook barbecue.
