You guys do me proud:)

Think how i felt, i lived in gove for about 5 years... (for those that dont know, top-north of arnhem land (sp?)). Boy were some of the ppl there unfriendly.

Scared weird little guys - Come to Australia

Redback, Funnelweb, Blue ringed octopus
Taipan, Tiger Snake, Adabox Jellyfish
Stonefish, and the poison thing that lives in a shell
that spikes you when you pick it up

Come to Australia
You might accidently get killed

Your lifes constantly under threat
Have you been bitten yet?
Youve only got 3 minutes left
Before a massive coronary breakdown

Redback, Funnelweb, Blue ringed octopus
Taipan, Tiger Snake, Adabox Jellyfish
Big Shark, Just waitong for you to go swimming
at bondi beach

Come to Australia
you might acidently get killed
Your blood is bound to be spilled
With fear your pants will be filled
Because you might accidently get killed

I lived in Gove!

Yeah Aussie Own..

Gold Coast is more best place to live.

America Own Australia


America has more kickarse lanning

f*** oath Aus ownzor

My dad just came back from America, and he said, America was boring, compared to Australia.

(not ment to affend anyone).

Yeah, at one stage i was talking to an old couple that had visited America, aside from the fact that everything is so cheap, it is a pretty boring place.

America is not cheap, well thats what my dad said.

Well, this old couple went there and you can go to a diner (read dyner) and get a full on big steak and all the extras for like 5 dollars (australian)

ahhhhh ok.

yeah i know my sig isnt working, cause i took it off again

i need a new sig

I have been very fortunate to have travelled round the world twice. Yep twice...I didnt get to EVERY country but let me tell ya except for Russia, Canada, China and Japan I did most of em. The wife and I intend to do the others real soon.

Hnads down this country fukin owns the rest of the world. We have the best lifestyle of any country I have been to, our national personality is what sets us apart from the rest of the world. We are not 'class conscious' like the Poms, we are not materialistic 'aware' like the Yanks.

We have such a wonderful relaxed way of life we are truly the envy of many people in the world. A guy in New York once said to me, "Ya know, Australia is the world's best kept secret." How true.
We own, many other much larger countries, in sporting activities, we are leaders in Biotech advancements, our child surgeons are the best in the bloody world and we have Alfie Langer.!

Thoughts on other places:-

America: Nice people, nice places...wouldn't want to live there. LA's a dump. San Fran owns.

Italy: Beautiful, ancient, crazy mofo's driving roudn. wouldnt' want to live there

England: Pretty, pisspoor weather, dismal people..could not live there.

Germany(Bavaria): Beautiful, great beer, great autobahns, great cars, top pubs..I could live here if it wasnt so f***ing cold!

Greece: Great antiquities, great food, nice ocean. Pisspoor infastructure re urban living. Olypmpics here will be seriously f***ed due to dis-organisation.

Switzerland: Great skiiing.

Denmark: Nice porn shops.

Scotland, nice, cold windy, wet great whiskey!

Yugolsavia: completley f***ed yet one of the most beautufl spots I have ever seeen. The dalmation coast is glorious, matches any beaches we have here in Oz. The Albanian Mts. match anything in Switzerland and the fishing villages match anyhting in greece. It was just that as an eastern block country it was truely f***ed. Hell they would not even accept their own currency when I was there..only american dollars.

Turkey: Old , ancient, best ruins to be seen anywhere. Coud not live here as it was 'too' waaay back for my liking. Lovley people, especially when they find out your an aussie. (Gallipoli respect thing)

France: Beautiful place, people are so so depends on the day you get them. Great nightlife. Maybe live here if you a millionaire.

Spain: they kill Bulls here for fun. Expensive.

Singapore: Clean, clean and very clean. Hot humid, best Zoo I have ever seen. Great food markets. Wouldn't live here cause its close enought o visit.

I could go on but hey you probably haven't read this far anyways. HIC!

Aussie rocks. end of story.

Italian ....

Yer Aus rocks !

Cool, i cant wait untill i travel after i finish university.

America: Nice people

when my dad went he said they were pigs

you also forgot russia: nice chicks

quote: "Before ze germans get there..." =P

We should just push PNG out of the shipping lanes and take the spot ourselves:P

Ferret wrote 'Also suicides a bit high - dunno why'
We must get depressed for all those poor unfortunates who don't live here...

We rock.

I have to agree, but winter ROCKS, i HATE Brisbane Summers. I HATE being hot and i HATE sweating.

End Bitch

Nah, the yanks are really nice people. A little naive and ignorant when it comes to matters of the world but they really like aussies. Also, the place has the best customer service in the world. Restaurants and shopping Im talking here. The reason? They have such a s*** minimum wage that the working person really relies on 'tipping' and as such they are very polite, efficient and helpful in all forms of retail service.

s*** you can go into a Denny's (like Sizzlers)and feel like your in a five star restaurant as the staff are so pleasant and helpful. EVERYONE says' have a nice day'.

In New Orleans we went into this food place, had a meal (Excellent catfish and gumbo) when we left they lady at the register says, "Bye, ya'll come back now" as we walked out she continued "missing you already!"

I know its sort of ghey but quant in its own way.

Once while I was drinking with these guys in New York they asked me what my job was. I told them I was a Policeman and well wouldnt you know it they were as well. We watched a NFL game on the big screen and generally got on really well. One guys son was a quarter back for a Pittsburgh College team.

Several months after we got back to Aus, there was this big package sent to me with Pittsburgh Stealers training jerseys, music tapes ( I had mentioned in the bar that I like a particular artist) beer coasters, stickers and a lot of other s*** that these two New Yorks cops had decided to send me.

So all my dealings with Americans has been nothing but positive.

p.s. Disneyworld in Florida pisses on Disneyland in LA.

Yeah, the Americans have been really polite when I've been over there...and (this is gonna be received well...) at least as far as I've experienced, they were generally more polite than Aussies. :|

And yes, Disneyworld rocks.

And another reason to live in Australia: We just won the Ashes :D

whoo hoo! Go Aussie.

Those Poms must be wishing they had never sent all of us convicts out here in the first place!

:)

Definately a good place to live but one major problem that probably plagues other countries as well: Nothing gets "done" - everyone sits around talking about what to do but doesn't actually do it (I'm talking about the politicians). Oh and we have too many civil lib. and minority groups. Diversity can be a good thing, but it can also hinder progress - and it has in many cases in Australia. Currently some of the residents of Narangba are doing whatever they can to stop a food irradiation plant from being built. Of course not one of them actually has any idea what goes on at such plants. Hopefully they don't get what they want (like most minority groups in Australia have done). Some of the stuff I've been reading in the local paper is a good laugh - if you want comedy, just read The Northern Times or Pine Rivers Press. Who knows what those crazy NIMBYs will get up to next. Heres an example of NIMBY logic:

Neighbour 1: Psst! I just read in the Daily Tabloid that wooden fences give you cancer!
Neighbour 2: Really?! Lets start a protest group!
Neighbour 3: I also heard that looking at them can send you blind!
Neighbour 4: My husband said they are part of a CIA conspiracy!

As you can see, I have exaggerated, however usually they disregard any form of scientific research and base their stupid opinions on hearsay and what they read in some dodgy publication written by a wierdo guy who lives in an underground house in the mountains.

Same goes for those morons who do not immunise their children. "Who gives a f*** about other people, we don't need no stinkin immunisation." "OH sure the whole smallpox thing was a big lie!"

yah Hunter, but I suppose that that sort of bulls*** is neccesary to keep things moving along... its irritating as hell, but look at most Communist countries. public opininions are damped down, by force where neccesary, and the countries suck as a [indirect] result.

im aware my logic is a tad shaky here, but meh?,i just woke up... :)

Australians all let us rejoice for we are young and free...... with ..... and for toil.... our home is kert by see..... our land ...... our beuty rich and rare..... in his respects ........ advance australia fair!!!

The typical Australian Anthem!

Well aren't we all a patriotic bunch.

I love Australia!

I love you guys!!

GROUP HUG!!!

...for f***s sake kaygen, stop humping my leg.

lol strex

tru tho, aussies own so much it is not funny.
it must say something when you travel, and ppl instantly love you because of your nationality.

overseas chicks f***in love our accent (or maybe it's just me :)

no, its the accent man :)

Australia 0wns all the other coutries I have visited ! Although I have only ever really travelled to Asia (China , Taiwan , Japan , Malaysia , Indonesia , Thailand & Singapore). I would love to go to the northern parts of South America though (Guatamala , Equador , etc) ... I have heard it is awesome !!! Nothing like a bit of a military take-over to spice up your life ! :o)
The really lush thing about about the Australian lifestyle (& I guess most 1st world countries) is that the lack of day-to-day life threatening situations gives people the time to relax & open thier minds to bigger pictures than just the day-to-day slaw. Unfortunatly this is a two edged sword as some people given that freedom use it just to whine about petty issues that don't really concern them in a very poor effort to make themselves feel like they are somehow better than others. Oh hi hunter !
d°O°b

Hunter aahahahahahahha
Maybe you should look into imunisation a little further...

Aparently it turns out that having imunization currently given the way they do. It actaully makes it HEAPS harder for (insert apropriate tile for anti-virus/disease governtment association here) to stop outbreaks of these imunised viruses and whotnot because of the life cycle of these viruses and whotnot. Also if you;ve been looking into astma (how do you spell it ) you'll know that its actually a better prevention for it to play in dirt and whotnot and let your imune system deal with all the day-to-day stuff. :D

Anyway the moral of the story is, get sick young ( like your ment to, f*** all these 'super clean' people ) and stay healthy old.

.

I'm a Dual Citizen as well... British :)

I love it over there - but Australia is easily the best place in the world to live. Its good awesome weather, great chicks, friendly people, great cities, cool cars and great technology. Not much crime either.
All the time I was in the Uk I wanted to be back here :)

San Francisco is f***ing awesome though - One of the best cities in America if not the best. I had a blast when I went there and would love to go back if I had the chance :) BTW - Not all Americans are evil bastards - most are really enthusiastic and nice people.

Plus it was voted second best place in the world to live - Of course!

Sorry StreX can't stop......

Piss off!
Sif Poland doesn't rock!!!!

Polish[Fella]

I've been to papua new guinee... I'm definitly glad i live here. New Zeland is actually pretty good place as well (shame about the New Zelanders tho).

But I agree with hunter, our collection of s***kunts (which seems to be getting larger all the time) have way to big mouths and to much power.

ner, i think my oil platform in teh middle of the atlantic is the best place to live, no taxes!

"I f***en love this country. "

Man.. just from that we got a masive thread hehe

but hell yeh.. Yes Australia does f***en rock :D

but the broadband is a pretty big joke. It would be cool for some one to just lay fuskin UTP down all the streets hehe that would fix us up :P

ahh well... sif that would ever happen :(

- Mets

Sif our national anthem doesnt sound better to Jimmy Barns working class man ...


Or if politics has been very active in a week giligins island covers well...

i was born in papua new guinea, and have travelled to dozens of countries, i must say that brisbane is the best place to live, followed closely by Vancouver, and then the small town i was born in New Guinea and my dads village in Sri Lanka.

God bless this country

Australia is definately the best place to live. Of course, it would be better without those bloody hippy types :).

sif Gold Coast doesnt roK

it really depends. when we were touring the midwest, the population was so nice and friendly, but hitting new york and los angeles (far mroe populated areas with a more diverse foudnation and hence more segregation) was quite hostile at times... i seriously dont see anything wrong with americans, or the british.

meh

LOL! Kaygen I seriously hope you were trying to be funny or something when you typed the lyrics for Advance Australia Fair. You have no idea do you...... =P

PNG has turned into a hole.
Typodemon: Hell yeah!

hehe im a ANZAC (dual)

american kicks ass, pitty about all those americans!

hope australia doesnt become Little America!

love australia BEST place on earth to live!!

hate brissy summers love the winters.

Atleast you only have to worry about spriders and sh!t, not havin some 6 year old punk shootin ya kids!

Talking in point form is cool :)

I have dual USA/AUS citizenship, very handy.

I would like to live in Afghanistan. I like flies, lack of water, poverty, not having to bath, having my family killed by extremists, dodging landmines, owning an AK47's at a young age, and women permanently dressed in black.

Psycho! I look forward to your next informative and interesting post. You're not bad for an old timer :)

i reckon NZ ppl are heaps freindly, but its too bloody cold up there D:

australia roxors!

If we went to the USA we could get the best cable connection,

and we could hunt americans for sport :D

sif you wouldnt live in the uk
mmmm rain
maybe im a little drab but hey

im only happy when its rains

Yah, Australia rules and QLD is the best state coz of our endless summer days, our hotties, and our surf! Did I mention shopping? Mmmm... Pacific Fair.

Australia and Qld. rules Mate

yeah, damn its cold up in NZ :> (im taking the s*** out of him btw)

and sif a qld bbq doesnt own

Australia is rikey, hot and humid weather is ghey .. you'll all be bitching again once summer hits.
Just how it is now is awesome, if it was 21C every day that would own.

Maybe its just my attention span, but i think we really need a new flag and a new anthem .. alot just doesnt seem relevant to the country anymore.

Wouldnt mind traveling other countries, allthough I definitely think language barriers would stop me from taking a liking to alot of places.

Psycho: What's it like being a tourist in a country that you cant ask for directions or drive a car on the correct side of the road? :P

Australia definately needs to fix its flag up - simply removing the union jack would be sufficient imo. As for an athem, not too sure if we should change it or not.

yeah I guess if they changed the athem it'd be something equally as ghey :/

And most people still wouldnt know the words.
