Imagine living in a country with a lower level of enabled mass-murdering pricks, and a lower level of child murder. Wouldn't it be nice?

Fix your shit, America.

Bulletproof backpacks are nothing more than a marketing gimmick that takes advantage of gullible people that fell for all of the fear-mongering, a scam in other words.

Seriously how common do you think they are <_<

I've lived in both Brisbane and Sydney and I've never encountered anything that couldn't be solved with a paper towel or shoe.

Brisbane had slightly scarier looking spiders but they chilled outside and made their presence obvious.

No way, I like it. It's very sweet sounding imo.

Cockney English or Geordie is hideous imo. Scottish too. But the Irish accent is adorable.

Only EB Games idiots pay that. Amazon, Target, Big W or the Gamesmen sell every new release I've wanted for $69.

Nabbed Devil May Cry V a couple of weeks ago for $35. Considering how crap our dollar is at the moment games have never been more cheap for me. It's pretty weird. I used to import games from the UK to get them cheaper but I haven't needed to import for a long time.

As a non Australian who lived in Australia and loved it there, can I add some counter arguments? It's not the wildlife you need to worry about.

- most incompetent, useless goverment, totally detached from how people live and what they want
- Worst internet in the developed world. Seriously. Fucking awful terrible.
- Absolutely terrible drivers
- Bogan scum with too much money everywhere
- A weird economy where a segment of the working class have tonnes of money and everyone else is broke as fuck
- everything is extraordinarily expensive because of the above, especially cars
- the double edged sword of having low standards for car road legality - easy to get your car road legal, but also easy to die at the hands of some asshole who has no brakes
- rampant chlamydia everywhere

Well, everything in the Australian nature wants to kill you so those guys really need guns, and the pressure of all this danger should make them snap much more often than the American shooters, so I am surprised that Australians are not constantly wearing some kind of protecting armor.

Nationalism and Borders is what limits bad decisions by politicians from spreading into other areas.

Do you want to see North Korea's bad decisions by the Kim regime spread ot South Korea or neighboring countries?

I think not.

Same with Venezuela, do you want to see the effects of it's bad decisions to spread to all the neighboring countries?

I think not.
