What's to envy ?

And you'd be different to any other citizen in a developed country how
exactly ? Were you under the impression they only have houses and
universities in the US ?

Good for you, shame most of your compatriots don't. What's the US
national debt again ? 3 *TRILLION* dollars I think ?

It's interesting how you blindly extrapolate "wouldn't want to live
there" to "hating the USA" big assumption there m'lad.

Been there a couple of dozen times at least (without pulling my
passport out and counting). I don't hate the US. Wouldn't live there
in a million years though (despite several job offers that included a
visa).

I'll bet you can count on one hand the countries you've been to
outside the US, and they're probably Mexico, Canada and a couple of
Caribbean countries who are all but part of the US anyway. Right ?

Sorry, but contrary to the self satisfied American smugness, the whole
world DOESNT want to live there. Who would want to live in a country
chock full of bible hugging gun carrying rednecks ? The two parts of
your country that most Americans disavow as not being "the real
America" are the only two parts of the country worth a bent dime (NYC
and California)

Yeah so did you, and.. ?

I met some people in Mandurah who knew the bloke in Townsville who made
my saddlebags.

 

Point proved. Thanks Doug.

What, you don't live in a humpy, and recite lessons in the open air?

(I've lived in a 3 sided shed, does that count?)

But how much of that is importing oil and selling it cheap? And how
much is in Chinese hands? At least we admit we are owned by others

I don't hate the USA. Bits of it have good scenery, other bits of it
have brilliant scientists and hackers, there are good singers and
painters and some stunning buildings.

But live there? Umm... well Skud and MikZ seem to manage, and Mum
loved her time in Chicago, but "the Paraguay skies and the nights so
cold, you can forsake your country and lose your soul" some how I
think I'd not be happy there.

I might want to stay in Canada, as long as it was in the bits where it
didn't snow that often. I could possibly stay in the UK if I had an
obscenely high paying job.

But die to stay in the US? Pull the other one it's got bells on.

Freedom is one of those words that means what you want it to mean. I
suspect that I'm freeer in the current Australian climate than anyone
living under the Patriot Act for example. Freer than anyone living in
a country that has de-facto religious tests for office in some places.

But hey, I didn't choose to live in Oz, I just got lucky enough to be
born here. I suspect the people to ask are the ones who *did*
choose.

envy?
LMAO! I lived in shitville USA for 12 mths.. fuckin way too long

so is mine... the point being?

Well if your that stupid and he cant pay for himself, thats your
problem. or is it that education is that expensive over there?.

ROTFLMAO! Try again sucker

Im not.

ROTFLMAO! Stop it please, my sides are hurting. Not many countries
have to send kids to school with bullet proof vests, and have metal
detectors everywhere.

No I didnt.. I wasnt born when that happened, so **** off back to
us.sucksarse

 

not in California.
Only the rest of the shithole.

 

They get to ride without helmets . LMAO!!! No brains to lose.

 

Jezuz JL that's a bit harsh!
Besides the fact that this person is both of reasonable intelligence AND
seems to have a smidgeon of understanding of the world around him, the
simple fact that he's literate is the giveaway!!

 

As is the slip-up from "McWideGlide" in a later thread.

Cheers,
Dale.

 

Well you should have gone up to the servo on the pacific hwy then. It
was only a 1.48 yesterday

JL
(sorry I didn't call in ;-)

 

Dunno what you're talking about Dale. Ain't no posts from that
fuckwit on the server.

 

$1.48 ? Luxury !

Some people have letterboxes 100km from the house along rough dirt
roads. You saying the VFR is that good?

I wasn't born here, my parents did the choosing when I was ten. I've spent a
year in the USA (2 trips), nine months in London, a couple of years in
Sydney (about five trips), a few months in Melbourne, two months in
Adelaide, and three weeks in Singapore (2 trips) . Those were living, as in
getting up to go to a job every morning. I've holidayd in several other
places and countries, including some of the above. I'm very happy to be
living in Perth, and even happier I'm not living in the USA.

I got back from the States on Monday and in Vegas their "Premium" highest
octane petrol was 91 Ron.

Fraser

 

You'll find North America uses the AKI octane rating, not RON. 91-
octane AKI ~ 95-octane RON. 87-octane AKI ~ 91-octane RON.

 

Yeah what he said, AKI is an average of RON and MON.

JL
(94 AKI is their premium about 97-98 RON)

 

Sort of like your aus.cars mate MoRon?

 

Ahhhhhhhhh. Penny drops. Thanks for that. I was shocked that their cars
could make any power at all with such shit fuel.
