What are you folk fighting about ?
lots of name calling here LOL
Well I was just pointing out a few flaws of the Australian country, and then all of a sudden I was attacked by some rude people who I'v never even ever met before.
They started making baseless claims about my intelligence and demanded that I give evidence to the claims that I made. One of them even made a threat that people would destroy me if I did not give evidence to what I was saying about Australia being a terrible place to live, for many many reasons.
Actually, I think it all started when I made a point of the fact that many (noooo not all; 100%) Australians are racist.
How you react to someone says more about you than it does about them.

yea but that's sort of like the weather, sometimes its cloudy and sometimes its sunny. Sometimes a person may react like this, and sometimes like that. After all people aren't robots.
I went at it from a different angle Nice place to live = all the things for easy living (weather, arable land, resources, trade routes, and so) are there. Usually the meanest sons of guns take and hold those spots. Like ... Mesopotamia. cn
Ah yes, that is also true, I totally agree. In that case, Australia has the WORST weather in the world. (well maybe not the worst, I don't know if that is true, but I'm sure that it is amongst the top contenders for having the worst weather)
They actually have quite allot of access to food, although allot of their "fresh" food sits in storage for a REALLY long time, so by the time that it gets into the shops, it becomes really un-fresh and not nice at all. That was really annoying.
Also, the Australian police force (from my own personal experience and the MANY stories iv seen on tv) are bloody lunatics who have power complexes....
If you have ever watched an American tv show where the police chase down people (because they're idiots and haven't figured out yet how to invent better ways of dealing with "crime") that is basically what Australia is turning into (in fact Australia Is imo already just like a Mini America).
A cesspool of criminals and cops who love to get wound up on adrenaline when they go on the hunt for law breakers. (of course, some of these things I say, OBVIOUSLY, do not apply to Everyone. That should be obvious)
(So if I was to say, Dogs bite, Please don't begin arguing with me and cussing at me because you think that not all dogs bite.)
One time I was riding my bike and I wasn't wearing my helmet. There were two cops standing at the end of a pedestrian bridge, catching people like me who were putting our selves in extreme danger [/sarcasm] by not wearing our helmets, and they were giving out fines to such people. So anyway, I rode past these 2 cops and one of them made a hand gesture to me, he obviously wanted me to stop for him, but I ignored him and quickly put my helmet on as I was pedalling.
(I had my helmet with me but wasn't wearing it)
So as I was putting on my helmet, the cop began chasing me and then all of a sudden I saw him beside me, (Unfortunately I could not get away because the bike I was riding at the time was REALLY shit) SO then this cop grabbed me while I was pedalling, and he dragged me down to the ground like I was some dangerous criminal or something. I did not resist in ANY way, but he was grabbing me and wrestling with me as if he wanted to rape me or something.
So, obviously he wanted to "process me" by giving me a fine, but I didn't give him my name, so he could not give me a fine. So I spent the night in jail, because for all they knew I could have been a wanted criminal!! Even Osama bin laden.
The next morning I went to see the judge, but just before I saw the judge I gave the cops my name and they checked me out in the system to make sure I wasn't wanted for any crimes. The judge said to me that the cops had made a statement and she asked me whether or not i agree with it. I told the judge that I do not know what statement the cops had made and that I wished to hear it. Basically the cops said that I shouted profanity at them and that I hit them and was fighting with them.
This was astounding for me because they lied to the judge. I admitted to the judge that I did indeed shout profanity at them, but I did not touch them!
And all of this happened simply because I did not want to put a helmet on my head while I was on my leisurely bike ride in the hot sun. btw the judge let me go with no fines or anything.
This was the 2nd time something like this happened.. The first time the exact same thing happened, except that the first time the pigs gave me a beating! They literally stood over me in a small group and kicked me while I was covering my head with my arms. These types of brutal attacks by the POLICE on ordinary innocent citizens are known to happen too often in Australia and have been captured on camera and shown on the news.
Now, the two Australians who're participating in this thread: "
stoned cockatoo" and "echelon1k1", they would have everyone believe that I am making up lies.... Why would I do that? Why SHOULD I waste my time to make up lies? I have no reason to make this up. However these two guys are trying REALLY hard to shut me up.
In fact, it is my OPINION, that many other Australians would do similar (of course not all, but many) It is because of their pride. They are patriotic to their country on such a level that any criticism towards their country is perceived to them as a personal attack on them, even If I was to just mention that it is my opinion that the weather in Australia sucks, which it does allot of the time. Thank god for Air conditioned busses! right guys?
Of course, I am no big idiot (well, I like to think I am not an idiot most of the time at least) I understand why they behave this way, and I am sure that if someone made negative comments about my country, it would be my nature to be defensive as well. Though, there has been a valuable lesson in my life, that lesson is to think before you speak. So then If someone was to make negative comments about my country, I think it would be wise to first consider if those negative comments are true or not before I was to blurt out my idiotic defensive claims of dishonesty.
no I did not call him a dumbass to offend him, I said it because what he was saying was fucking dumb. now who is making assumptions? everything you just said about what I assume is an assumption. your psychology teacher did not teach you well
Oh for real? I bet that if i actually opened up google, I could easily find evidence for probably everything that I mentioned. In fact, so could you!
