Joe Bugner was an animal...goat australian boxer?

I could also say you are ignorant for classifying Tszyu or Bugner Aussie and totally forgetting the bulk of their lives and heritage. Do you also consider Greg Norman American ?

It's just a matter of opinion. As i said earlier if these sportmen want to call themselves Australian then i don't mind but i don't consider them Australian.

 

...this workmate of mine tried to tell me he was a aussie....(with a pommy accent)...becuase his grandmother was a aussie...and all the rest of it...(both his parents are poms and he was born in England)....I just told him....you're not a Aussie you pommy carnt!...haha...good bloke but still a pom.

 

I don't believe in duel citizenships, but yeshe is the citizen of the country he resides n for the majority

 

yes he was saved from being killed.

 

I'm with Ippy on this one

- if someone reckons they are an aussie and have the papers to prove it THEY ARE AN AUSSIE. You cant deny it its the law. It just is. You can believe what you want of course but the government and the laws of Australia say you you are wrong.

How very un-australian of you blokes to be going up against the aussie law and way of life of a country that was built on immigrants who became Australian - maybe those that dont want to beleive in the rules and laws of this country should leave lol

 

they are Australian but they learnt their skills elsewhere and relocated here.they only moved here for a better quality of life.

 

beavs - you Francis and darkhorse were the ones saying that Kostya and Bugner are un-australian by suggesting they are not Australian when they have paperwork proving they are and they also define themselves as Australians.

I'm just turnin it back and sayin maybe youse are actually the un-australian ones as this county is built on immigrants who BECOME australian.

(p.s I hate the term as well - I'm just usin it to make a point same as with the the old - "if they dont like the laws here why dont they go live somewhere else" logic I here people spewin all the time - it can just as equally be applied to people who are born in australia)

 

Its not opinion because that piece of paper legally says they are australian. Whoever mentioned what the media refers to these guys, thats irrelevant as they have no legal implications on who or who is "australian".

 

so true... one day the headline reads "Aussie actor Russel Crowe wins oscar"
the next day it's "New Zealand actor Russell Crowe was arrested in New York today for throwing a phone at a bloke"

 

The irony is any of these paper legal Aussies commit a serious crime with a stint in the big house and are considered a danger on release are then shipped qiuck smart to thier own countries....straight out of the gate and onto a plane.....now thats un Australian.....

 

Yeah mate just like a piece of paper in the boxing record books stated that Anthony Mundine is a 4 time world champion BUT we all know that thats nonsense and BS.

 

Mel Gibson has also gone back to being American :!:
