The Africanized jabberdinkumwoggers are a real threat. They hang out in gangs, and regular dinkums are terrified.
Wow. That was great. All I knew of the opening ceremony was hearing that the Queen was a good sport about a parachuting double. I had never seen the whole thing beginning in Buckingham Palace. I always like her. Surprised she played along to that extent.
She has a great sense of adventure...Remember the Bowe/Holyfield match? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKoAlpWD_Lg
Looking at that picture made me realize how much easier it would be to shoot while driving an English car, if you're right handed. If American cars were built like that it probably would have created an entirely new sport spun off from NASCAR, but with guns involved.
Somebody needs a holiday in Australia... Gun lovers have no idea how much fun that can be. Having said that, is it possible for ONE of us here to post ONE article about WW2 here this month? Apologies. But I have drawn a blank. Pretty discouraging dropping in here lately.
Takao, in some past life maybe, like the original inhabitants of most modern countries, the one the "Americans" wiped out, and the Aussies and the New Zealanders almost succeeded in making extinct. Brian
Hey we didn't try to wipe Aboriginals out...Each state had its own policy. They are still here...ask the Tasmanian Tiger, if we want to wipe something out, we do it...
Be careful what forums you mention that on. You might actually inspire someone to try it ... Sort of like the original version of Rollerball. The film makers were horrified to find that people actually started playing it ...
some ""Native"' American tribes wiped out, destroyed and/or displaced other NAs tribes long before the Europeans came over
Again, you nutter gun freaks have NOT lived until you have holy dazed down under. You yanks have NO IDEA how much fun it is there toting. Most would likely tear up their passports in a heartbeat. Piggy heaven. Invasive Feral Animal hunts. Ever thought of this as a National passtime? Australia Feral Animal List? Have at 'er: https://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/invasive-species/feral-animals-australia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8mc_BUUJFE
Wild/feral hogs and coyotes are invasive species in our area, are numerous and hunters are encouraged by even the game wardens to kill them. Coyotes are the more fun to hunt, they're quite crafty and sometimes the pack will even hunt you back. That's sport.
Us Canucks got out of that quotation nightmare quagmire by referencing First Nations People. My family has been here five generations. 1/3 Irish, Scottish, Brit. Overseas I unthinkingly answer Canadian to any question "where you are from?" Inside Canada? Scottish. Its the only one with any culture or history worth glueing onto. Yam Erica Yah is a melting pot. We are the opposite. We cling to ancestral ties, language and culture. Not one single WASP Canuck thinks of himself as anything remotely related to (North) America.
