Australia....the World's Happiest Country.
Thursday, May 24, 2012 by Jafo | Discussion: Everything Else
So said the news item yesterday......
Maybe it's because we're so easily amused....
Surely can't be because Gina is Numero Uno Rich-Bitch on the planet.....
It would take the average Australian 465 THOUSAND YEARS to match her PERSONAL income for this one year. NINETEEN BILLION and counting.
Come on, people....now you really know the reason for the Carbon Tax.
She ain't gonna give it up willingly....even wanted to hold off on giving it to her OWN kids until 2065.....

but then the crocs do go and get their own out of the boats with the pet food that is seat-belted, and even occasionally they have sunk boats to get the pet food out of the boats.
but the crocs do check out the boats to see if there are any aussies on them, and if there is, then they leave that boat alone ( I think that they look for the battered akubra hats, and if they do not see any then they know it is safe to eat that boat load)

seanw3's appalling misunderstanding of geography aside, he does have a point: The animals in your country are frickin' scary!
Yes, your women are both attractive and promiscuous (a most excellent combination), but I don't think even that can make up for the fact that most non-sapient creatures down there constantly try to kill you. I much prefer countries where the spiders aren't the size of pickup trucks and slavering venom...

Quoting seanw3,
reply 31
tiny desert island?
Excuse me! Tiny? In landmass, Australia equals mainland USA.
Furthermore! Not only is it an island... it is also a continent.
I blame the Mercator map projection most schools used when we were growing up. For the longest time a lot of my friends thought Greenland was just as big as Africa. Of course in that projection Austrailia still looks about the size of the US, but it's right next to a gargantuan Antarctica and looks tiny by comparison.

Being from the US, he was probably using this map:-

NEWS FLASH
In Australia you can now be fined 1.1 million dollars if you blame rising prices on the carbon tax. No joke.

and there WAS people that thought it might be a good idea to move to the country with the MOST insanity among 'their leaders' on the planet, (and I suspect that this sort of comment will also be banned).

They wouldn't get away with something that blatant, I'm sure of that. So I don't think there's anything to worry about.

I think the fine idea is directed toward companies/corporation.... to deter them from making public anything that could threaten/undo the carbon tax legislation.

That's Julia ( Julier) Gillard for ya one minute there was not going to be a carbon tax and next BOOM she introduces the carbon tax, maybe she didn't get her .......... love toy the night before so we all are going to pay for it

Yes, and just so we don't curry favourites.... Howard said there wouldn't be a GST.
Reply #57 Tuesday, May 29, 2012 5:59 AM
why not just PUT them(the politicians AN beaurocrats) IN the curry to feed the boat people, and after they have eaten it up then tell them(the boat people) what they have eaten, and then tell the boat people that there is plenty MORE of the the curry and that they will keep getting fed it for the rest of their time in the country, and if they do not like the food, then go back where they came from.
