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

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.

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.

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... :)

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 !

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!

    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.
