Poll: Australia

[Valkatron]

Best country ever, because i live there. Now lets stop asking the same damn questions every 3 days and move on to something new, like what ever happened to the Care Bears?

You're asking people to ignore incompetent politicians?

That's like asking someone to cut of their own foot!

No, I'm asking people to not judge an entire country based on ONE incompetent politician.

As most of the Escapist are, from what I can see, Americans, I'd assume that they know what that feels like. At least the decisions ATKINSON makes only affect gamers (and ONE STATE). What was the name of your Polly that made you all look bad? Someone tree?

Oooh, you mean it like that!

I thought you just where tired of people raging on Michael Atkinson, not that you where tired of people thinking all of Australia sucked because of him.

And what politician are you talking about?

Exactly.

What politician? Here's a clue: "Is-Are our children learning".

Don't play games with me! I suck at Trivial Pursuit.

I don't know anything about politics

He was your president for 8 years, for god's sake!

[HEADING=1]Sweden has presidents!?[/HEADING]

Shows how much I know about my own country

HAHAHAHAHA. You deserve some kind of prize!

Here I am talking about not judging, and I assumed you were american! God I'm a hypocrite.

I'm talking about George Bush, of course.

 

[BringBackBuck]

Not likely going to get many people from asia voting for option no2. All those recent attacks on foreigners are not helping Australia's image as multi-cultural or laid back.

 

[Shadowsole]

Change beautiful With Dangerous/Annoing and you get my awnser...

Also Hot...


I Wanna Go Somewhere Cooler...

Oooooh, I see what you did there. Tree and Bush. I should have caught that joke dammit!

But Sweden has dickhole politicians too. Like the suspiciously racist "Sweden democrats". "Give me back my Sweden" my ass, they just want the immigrants gone.

 

[Bealzibob]

It's a nice place.
But I'd never go there, why?

The bugs, dear God the bugs! Anywhere that has two inch spiders that can kill in one bite being considered the less threatening bugs is not a place for me. FFS even your trees are alced with deadly neurotoxin!

That my friend, is why we no longer lick the trees. Bugs are still a probably when trying to navigate a long drop... on those rare occasions.

 

[Enou]

So, this being a thread on the escapist, the first thing that I thought of was the hate whatshisface gets for how hard it is to get games in Australia...otherwise I might have thought about all the other things that are so wonderful down under. x.x

 

[Platos]

It's not like we're dodging killer insects on a daily basis. Things are pretty cool here unless you like anything that challenges traditional morality. Like say games, or the internet which leads me to cry for help to stop this internet censorship!!

 

[rabidmidget]

My home?

 

[MysticnFm]

I thought this was going to be something about how everyone thinks that we are all racist pigs because of a few unfortunate incidents lately. So this is all just fine.

P.S Michael Atkinson can fuck off.

Yeah, we have them too. You know the ones, who claim that all the non-whites are trying to take over the country, while at the same time ignoring the fact that we've been here for just over 2 centuries.

 

[Cherry Cola]

Political discussion snip

They're just afraid of change. Give it a couple of generations and we'll all be the same.

But we are being completely off-topic. Sorry for derailing your thread, OP.

Speak For Yourself...

There Were three bed backs in My Bathroom today...
On Got very close before i noticed...

They're not exactly killer though, are they?

Mabye if you got bitten by all three, and were allergic...

This is exactly what I thought as well.

 

[kiwisushi]

Ah the "criminal element"! (anyone who doesn't know what that means check out ARC rugby commentary). Great sports nation, in practically every sport they play they are good at it, something to do with the academy system. Nice place to live, sort of. The real killer thingies kind of live in the desert territories, though the box jellyfish are a bit of a problem in the sea.

They seem to have no trouble ignoring their own...

I actually expected this thread to be about that "racist" KFC advertisement. Y'know, because a white guy giving black guys chicken as a token of friendship in a series of Australian adverts in no way related to steriotypes in the USA is completely racist...

 

[GrimFandango92]

As people know of the Michael Atkinson problem here more than other gaming forums, there would be a larger outcry. that would explain it. but i think people forget the the fact that we can just buy them from new zealand and ship them over, thats how I'm getting it (L4D2)

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

I'd have to go "all of the above" options since I live here.

This.

Seriously though, I wish Michael Atkinson would die in a cold fire.
