Morning Aussies, greetings from America ๐ฆ
Hope you guys aren't doing too bad, wish I could help you all immigrate here or something
Yeah nah, I'll keep my free healthcare, and not getting hate crimed.
I'll hate crime you, if you wish.
Pick your preferred minority and I've got a bunch of insults ready.
And if not, let's gang up on the seppo cunt and make them cry!!!!
STRAYA!!!!
stop they're already ~~dead~~ out of the world cup
No mercy!!!
The Cobra Kai way
Damn! You, me, an inappropriate public place, let's see what you've got.
I've got twelve inches, a wild imagination and a penchant for lying.
Let's do this Baby!!!
Excellent! ๐ค
If I cry just keep going, it's all part of the act, my Dad always said I was pro at playing the victim.
The only safety word I accept is Brzezinski...
Lube up and pick a saviour
Not a chance. I refuse ABSOLUTELY to eat grits. And your mob have the nerve to complain about Vegemite.
I always imagine eating sand.
I refuse to eat grits too. I have no idea what they actually are, but they sound dreadful ๐คฃ
The nearest equivalent we have is steel cut oats. I understand grits is a kind of porridge, only corn not oats. Should be banned under every possible convention, including the nuclear arms one.
I wasn't impressed with steel cut oats, and having that style of porridge made with corn just makes it worse. Why would anyone do that to themselves?
It gets worse. Grits are lacking in some essential vitamins, so long term ingestion brings on some serious vitamin deficiences - including a form of roseacea that affects the skin - hence the phrase red-neck meaning someone who eats grits that they have a vitamin deficiency that turns the back of their neck red. Can easily be cured by eating tortillas instead of grits. The mexicans learned long ago that you have to process cornmeal with lime to access the essential vitamins. So a redneck is someone who refuses to learn from other people how to eat corn properly.
Another reason that the states south of the Mason Dixon line are fucked up.
It keeps making more and more sense
ummm, why would we wanna move there?
To make things better?
They need all the help they can get.
i'm just going to assume you're trolling.
Now now no need for jealousy.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but that post is just ignorant.
Australia is an amazing country and there is nothing the US does better, for it's people, than Australia.
Nothing is a bit extreme. How about a bill of rights? How about choice in how to pay for things rather than be forced to use the banking system at a cost? How about housing costs ? How about investing in their own country?
there are many positives on both sides of the water
there is no reason to have a competition about it
Housing costs may be lower but affordability is on par.
Especially in places that are a bit progressive.
They have fuck all job security. Medicare tied to employment and such a corrupt political system, that makes Australian politicians look like saints.
No doubt we're not perfect but we're way ahead of the yanks where at looking out for our own.

you're generalising . I don't have much national pride, but I have very little interest america either. I enjoy some of your old television shows and some indie music, but nothing I listen to anymore. eastern europe has much more interesting music and plenty of us love lots of aussie music. you're talking about our boomers. i agree a lot of mainstream aussies are fucking basic though. I'd be denied existence and access to life saving medical care in a lot of states now too so fuck that.
Australia has it's problems but I would rather be here than in the U.S. where life can be very precarious.
Congratulations, this might be one of the most pathetic things Iโve read in quite some time. The only good thing about Murica is some of their national parks.
this ain't it chief
Which America?
Good America (Canada)
Or okay America (USA)
I've lived back and forth between both actually
Grateful I've never had to step foot in worst America though
nice. i have friends in both parts. welcome to the melbourne daily thread sis. <3
Mississippi?
I'm from Canada but been here like 20 years.
Love giving it to the yanks ๐
Love you guys overall....just not the maga crowd
They're either from AL or FL.
So a cooked cunt
it's true we should ship the cookers to FL
queenslanders and cookers have some incredible Florida Man energy about them
bring back environmental determinism
I've never lived in worst Australia either.
Howdy cowboy/cowgirl.
Welcome or something!
We're fine.. did someone say we're not fine?
