All Things Australia

Australia is not an imperialist country, but some of our leaders just had to have their own war. Tony Abbott looked like starting one with Ukraine, but cooler heads prevailed.

isn't an imperialist country either.

We just protect people.
Sometimes from themselves.
Sometimes, it's necessary to destroy them to save them for their own good.

Any Aussie deployments currently or all homeside drinking their Fosters.

 

The USA isn't imperialist, they're worse. The USA created the war with the Japanese, the war with Vietnam, the war with Iraq and a few others. They created and armed and trained Bin Laden and the Taliban not to mention other terrorist organisations.
All because they thought they were better.
Australia has not only fought in every theatre of war last century but distinguished themselves and always punched well above their weight. The USA fights by saturation bombing and artillery and relies more on sheer numbers than skill or tactics.

The USA has caused more unrest in the world then they have peace. They lost the war in Vietnam and the big bad boogies never came. Vietnam has thrived considering. This attitude of helping countries like you say even from themselves is the pig assed attitude that creates the problems.

 

I don't know anyone who drinks Fosters, it's a crap beer we created because yanks can't handle real beer

 

Does that mean you "take back"

​

 

We don't drink Fosters, that's for export.

 

Rugby is one of my fave sports. Years ago, I was on a rugger chat and asked about that beer since its commercials were so popular in the USA. (I tried it but did not particularly care for it at all.) Several Aussies told me on the chat it was the closest thing to puke they ever saw and that they would never touch it again. Like you said, it is strictly for export.

 

Now a word from the
Unaustralia Activities Committee

​

 

How about the women folk?

​

 

Are you from Australia? My fiance and I are hoping to honeymoon there. We've never been and are itching to hear about hidden Australian destinations.

 

Hah that's crazy. I had no idea

 

Meant to ask this in my last comment but got distracted. I'm interested in joining a club rugby team and learning the ropes. Is there a good TV channel to subscribe to or streaming website you recommend?

 

Yep. https://www.flightcentre.com.au/tra...-beautiful-places-in-aus-youve-never-heard-of

 

Thanks!

 

I think a lot of os Fosters is brewed over there. My now wife tricked me into drinking a Fosters on tap in a sports bar in Toronto and it was pretty good. Ours is not so good.

 

Your wife tricked you into drinking a beer, I bet it was hard to do lol

 

I remember drinking my first Fosters at 16. It tasted so vile, I actually couldn't drink anymore after the first horrid mouthful. I'm not pretending to be a beer critic, but that encounter turned me off drinking generic Aussie beer, as it all seems to taste like muddy sock water.

 

Or eat real (as in, dark and bitter) chocolate.

 

Or appreciate real (as in, old and stinky) cheese.

 

I'm not from there but, for the extra fifty bucks and a little more on that 18 hour flight time,
New Zealand.
The Southern Alps.
A small gauge railroad goes over the crest to the rain forests on the south side.
Sallyally leads me to believe it looked better on TV.
See those majestic sights where LOTRs was filmed.
Clean. Green.

Why suffer.
For a little more you can do it in New Zealand ​

 

I don't want to make everyone run screaming from this thread but............

 

If travelling to Australia a couple of points. Choose your season. Also Australia is not just Sydney and Melbourne (although I like both) and the other minor capitals. Get out there, take a plane because it'll save time. Our cities are generic, the bush, the Outback, they're special.
