    We thank you for the mini lecture in Australian citizenry and it’s relationship to the judiciary. Having resided mostly here for 73 years I can assure you your simplistic delusions are just that. Additionally you need to examine the US judicial system more closely. You’re in for a few nasty surprises.

    How fascinating. Having spent most of my 73 years residing in Australia it is ever so enlightening to be informed by an American citizen I’m not a sovereign human being. Possibly your attempt at educating me hasn’t yet taken as I still suffer the delusion I’m freer than any US citizen ( and without needing to be armed to the teeth) and that I have access to a far, far superior gov’t medical system than your rigid ideology will allow you to even dream about.
    I choose to remain here in my blissful ignorance. I’ll leave you to yours. Give my regards to Auntie Ayn.

    There aren't enough of them to put together a customer base for insurance companies.

    Sure it is. That's why they have private supplement plans to offset the crappy Medicare.

    Right, the PAYER is the government. The HEALTHCARE provider is not. Single payer is not government run healthcare. Stop discussing things you don’t know about.

    This makes no sense. I gave you the data via a peer reviewed paper. Your rebuttal was “nuh uh”. Either post a peer reviewed paper of your own, or offer your concession.

    Check into advantage plans if you don't like the supplement route.
    I would almost bet you the copay and out of pocket maximums are less than your crappy private insurance.

    Peer reviewed data means diddly squat if the reviewing is being done by a bunch of left-wingers with a particular agenda.

    Do you understand now?

    The whole single payer system is overseen by the fricking government.

    Single payer is fricking government run.

    No, it isn’t. Please for the love of god, stop discussing stuff you don’t know anything about.

    You do not have the "right" to be armed to the teeth, that is because you do not have a "right to your life" you are owned by your government. As a Citizen with all the rights of a King, I have the right to life, and therefore the right to protect my life with what ever tools necessary. Enjoy your serfdom....

    Your complete ignorance of the details and rights of Australian citizens is so vast there’s no point in discussing this with you further.
    By the way, we haven’t had a King on the throne now for over 50 years. And as to your gun lobby assertions I hope you enjoy reading about the next schoolhouse slaughter.

    Free to sleep at night with windows open and know that nothing worse than mosquitoes will get in. Free to drive or walk anywhere because nowhere is a 'no go zone'. Etc.

    PS: Australia uses jurors.

    Even when we had that right, we didn't use it. We are overwhelmingly not interested in guns, and have a society which doesn't depend upon them to remain civil and safe.

    LOL Just wait, you will soon be inundated with immigrants who do not share your values or morals........
    And you do not have rights, you have privileges, granted to you by government. You would need to be sovereign to have rights.

    I understand Lakemba is just a wonderful place. There is a difference between jurors, and juror of peers. Are you denying you still have magistrates?

    Utter crap. You have zero understanding of the difference between vestigial medieval symbolism and the legal realities here in Australia.
    If you weren’t so amazingly ignorant I’d suggest you migrate here to learn living in The Land of The Brave and The Free isn’t the paradise you imagine. Don’t forget to take your gun next time you pop down to the supermarket.
