Glad to help you laugh

Bush is an evil man.

yep

[quote="iamnotaparakeet"]I want to move to Australia. The government here is raunchy.

In Australia the people are raunchy.

Smelling or acting?

I would say neither. I open this question to any Australian who wants to bother. Two questions actually:

1. Would you say that you are raunchy?

and

2. When did you last eat at McDonald's?

I was going to say theyre only raunchy when theyre drinking but that wasnt my experience.

I was at a park in Adelaide and I heard a little boy cussing out his grandad. Who in turn cussed him out. ( They werent actually cussing each other OUT per say.)
I was surprised and over the months that sort of thing kept happening. Theyre not mean they just cuss A LOT.
Finally I was sitting with some locals and I say " Hey guys what do you say when you're REALLY mad?"
They said they just say the same with more emphasis.
As for the drinking. I was there at a hostel on new years. At midnight all the Australians went home. We backpackers said "whats up?" But they get drunk nearly every night there so new years was no big deal.
I got to see them really go wild up in Bali where a lot of Australians go for vacations. I think the Australians are closer to Americans than the British and much more so than Canadians.
They had lots of great comic shops and toy collecting places there. It did not seem as lunatic fringe as it is here. ( Except for New Jersey)

Hmm, here's what I think of america:

A place that is becoming increasingly filled with fat numbskulls who eat out a lot. It is also a place where people are not chosen for a job because of merits but for some stupid reason like race or gender.

And I think it is a place that is becoming increasingly depraved.

There is much more I can say about it but I'm not going to, that or I didn't think about it right now. (It is the morning right now, for me at least.)

When I think of America I think about silent movies...but when I think about anything my thoughts eventually go to silent movies.

I think of unemployment, low paying jobs, overpriced colleges, self-absorbed media, fast-food mentality customers... sorry, I feel like complaining right now, but I almost forgot to mention free speech.

dead on.

IF I had a dollar for everyone I've met who thinks that forieng (sp shhh) occupation wouldn't be such a bad thing as were sure to form an alliance and the domestication of women as it rightly will be will ensue....whity doesn't know he's destined for assasination in this case.

But yes, I feel there are a great many people who are decieved in either looking the other way or towards blind racism.

It's truly pretty complicated. I say were going to have a mess on our hands in 10 years. I think the aging group of terrorists want to see fruition for their works in this life. It will at least be dicey. We will win and rebuild-if there's anything left.

I remember seeing a news item about the Israli goverment punishing a woman who was th VICTIM of a rape. The US people and media said the they should'nt allow that sort of thing if theyre to be US allies.
But thats the problem, even if its crazy in our eyes its thier goverment/culture.
I think thats why the US never wins wars against non western countries. The US keeps sticking its head in a culture it couldnt possibly understand.
