Poll: Australia is BORING

[A.A.K]

yes i live in australia. im culturally an Australian. Racially im from all over the world. ive been almost everywhere and i gotta say, after living in Australia for about 8 years, Australia sucks. its boring. nothing happens and the best we're good for is a counterweight and a 'safe haven' for bums-refugees-idiots.
We have no wars. We dont part take in wars or battles other then military 'advisors' or 'supervisors' or, best one- 'observers'. Quote. Wikipedia.

We have no financial explosions or crisis'. We get the splash damage off America.

We dont really have that good Tv either. I mean seriously-Neighbours? Home and Away? COME ON PEOPLE

We have no history. It started 200 years ago with a poof landing some people who stole bread because they couldnt pay for it and then...nothing till WW1 where we got screwed over by the British. Then WW2 where we got screwed over by Japan. Then Vietnam where we got screwed over by OURSELVES.

No interesting geography or flora/fauna. Where flat, hot and dusty with a rock that looks like a giant mole. Otherwise we have a breathing teddy bear and a kangaroo which will THROW ITS YOUNG at predators to escape because its not worried about creating another.

And we dont do much outside our walls either. I have to do an essay on Australias involvement in the UN-our major achievements and our importance. We dont do shit 'siding from being a giant refugee camp or a bank.

We cant defend ourselves either. We have no particular firearms-we just take em of Europe. No serious ground corps. Nothing above average in aircraft or ground vehicles or navy -we get most of that off the US and Austria. We specialise in Recon.

Our dollar isnt worth much in the 1st world either. Dont point out we're like 3rd/4th in the world. Thats because asiding from the US and the UK-everywhere else is a future slave camp waiting to happen or-dirt.

Any other opinions from the public?

Okay, if you've ever been to Ohio, you will know what boring REALLY is...

Right. Except everything you just said there was either wrong or a matter of opinion.

 

[Noamuth]

I'd rather not have any wars or -real- financial crisis' here, thanks.

And I like our retarded native animals. They're goofy looking.

 

[[Kira Must Die]]

Well, I live in Hawaii. It's BORING here too. Nothing big EVER happens here, other than pearl harbor, but I live on a much more boring island.

 

[Strategia]

Australia? Boring? Aren't the top three of every major category of poisonous or otherwise dangerous creatures native to Australia? I wouldn't call that boring. In fact, it's a miracle you survived long enough to finish your post!

 

[New York Patrick]

Hey! Don't be too hard on yourself. Australia gives the rest of the world a right good laugh with their over the top censoring of games all because one man is a asshole and obviously you guys have no idea how exactly democracy works.
If you guys did not exist then who else would we make fun of?
Oh and do not even get me started on your steve irwin accents.

Of course I am from New Zealand so am biased as we are raised to hate australia...

Ha ha ha... Flight of the Conchords...

Thought you guys were in Iraq?. Plus wasn't there a recession in the economy?. I'm also sure is USD to AUD is 1:1 so the economy is on par with the US (that's not saying much these days I know). There was the dust storm recently, so you guys had somehting exiting happen. Plus, Kangaroos man!. What's wrong with you??. Almost all the worlds deadliest critters live in Australia, which is interesting. Life may end for you guys for various reasons. Also, you guys have some awesome beer and your seasons are reversed from the rest of the norther hemisphere.

Apart from that, yeah. You guys are shit!.

 

[traceur_]

Are you seriously whinging about us not having wars and not sending soldiers to get killed in wars? What the fuck is wrong with you?

By the way, we do have very interesting wildlife and some of the most awesome stereotypes.

of course it was an opinion. and i was asking in relation to my opinion.

 

[Dragon_of_red]

Ok, first of, your an idiot, now that thats outta the way, i can pick apart your argument

yes i live in australia. im culturally an Australian. Racially im from all over the world. ive been almost everywhere and i gotta say, after living in Australia for about 8 years, Australia sucks. its boring. nothing happens and the best we're good for is a counterweight and a 'safe haven' for bums-refugees-idiots.

Ok, how is that a bad thing, not being in a war is usually a good thing

We dont really have that good Tv either. I mean seriously-Neighbours? Home and Away? COME ON PEOPLE

What kind of shows do you watch? if they arnt you cup of tea we have other shows, dont use 2 bad shows as an example.

We have no history. It started 200 years ago with a poof landing some people who stole bread because they couldnt pay for it and then...nothing till WW1 where we got screwed over by the British. Then WW2 where we got screwed over by Japan. Then Vietnam where we got screwed over by OURSELVES.

No history? really? i mean really? We stgarted of as a slave colony and thrived from that, and america started that way to, just longer than us.

No interesting geography or flora/fauna. Where flat, hot and dusty with a rock that looks like a giant mole. Otherwise we have a breathing teddy bear and a kangaroo which will THROW ITS YOUNG at predators to escape because its not worried about creating another.

Seriously? i just going to let you stew in your own idiotic-ness over that one, have you even been outside?

And we dont do much outside our walls either. I have to do an essay on Australias involvement in the UN-our major achievements and our importance. We dont do shit 'siding from being a giant refugee camp or a bank.

Now since i dont know much about these parts, im not going to say anything, since i dont follow currency, our army or the UN.

That i all i have to say, i hope i didnt fail with any of this.

Agreed. Australia has some of the best and most interesting and unique Flora and Fauna in the world. I think you're just a spoilt brat who for once doesn't have a new xbox game to play.

 

[Sick boy]

Offence, you're an asshole. How can you think this about my favourite county? The country, I was born and the country I still currently live in. We have easily one of the best countries in the world and you're saying that it's boring? That it's boring because we don't shove our heads into the wars like the americans or the british. Australia isn't a boring place if you try and make it fun.

 

[blankedboy]

Aussie is a brilliant country. I'm a New Zealander, but if I had to live somewhere else, I'd choose Australia. Easy.

 

[Squidwogdog]

whoa, wheres your national pride, i can agree that nothing really out of the ordinary happens, having been a resident for my whole life, i could ***** and moan, and i do, but i still think australia is way cooler than any other country. (whats so good about having wars,Abso-----Lutely Nothing, i'd rather have a boring history lesson than an exciting one at the cost of lives)

Yeah but every kiwi either looks up to Australia like a land of milk and honey (which it is) or hates us like we hate the poms.

This. Nothing more can be said except that OP is an immature brat. You're what 16? 17? And you WANT us to be fighting in wars? Fuck off! The less wars we have the better! I'm sorry if you find our landscape and native creatures boring, I'm sure they find you boring too and TV well find me a place where free TV doesn't suck... As for you're whole rant on the dollar? Well we're worth more than New Zealand, Japan and the likes and last time I checked they were both first world countries. Grow up kid.

 

[A.A.K]

I probably shoulda mentioned im an adrenaline junky and i actually like to think and consider things of actual serious importance rather then the sudoku in this weeks paper. hmmm i will admit, you all-the escapist community have raised good points- we have good beer. our animals look retarded. Our snakes and spiders and jelly fish are the anti christ of the animal world. too bad they are in our shoes, in the garage, at the beach, hiding from you in plain site on your sunday hike...
im not entirely eager to have all my money ripped outta my hands due to a financial crisis but my arguement is nothing happens.

 

[edargh]

Yes it does suck that we don't have any real wars and that our economy isn't in complete ruins. Seriousely it's so damn boring, I would MUCH rather be living a van, boy oh boy that would be the life. I'm also suprised you managed to sum up all four of the things Australia has ever done so neatly, how does one get so knowledgeable about history?

In case you can't tell I'm being sarcastic

And you're an idiot

 

[A Weary Exile]

...a kangaroo which will THROW ITS YOUNG at predators to escape...

That's...awesome.

OPid you seriously complain about not having enough wars/financial meltdowns?

Other things you forgot to mention:

Micheal Atkinson
Box Jellyfish
Great White Sharks

 

[MikeyW]

The Victorian bushfires were nothing? The far North queensland floods were nothing? I'm sure there is more than a few people who are gonna disagree with you on that.
