So.... reasons why wouldnt you go to australia?

[Prof. Monkeypox]

The deadly murder-spiders the size of a manhole cover.

I'd love to visit the Mana Bar, but they'd have to clear out all those spiders first.

 

[RanD00M]

Because according to Dohop the cheapest flight there is a quarter of a million Icelandic. And that is not money that I have. And if I did have it I would buy a new computer or something, not go to a country that I have little interest in.

How has this poster not yet been posted
Seriously how.

My entire reasoning rests here:

[Danglybits]

Its far away, I hate flying, game censorship and all the venomous creatures. Beach is tempting though.

 

[Gilhelmi]

I like my guns. They practically Ban Guns. I choose to carry my gun in public, yes it is legal. I have chosen not to live anywhere that prohibits me from carrying a firearm or defending myself.

Because everything I want from Australia eventually comes to me in the US and everything I don't want stays the hell there.

I'm guessing you haven't heard of the venomous sharks that walk the beaches censoring games then?

 

[Atmos Duality]

Because I look and live like a misplaced mountain man. I don't like the heat, but can tolerate it (a near lifetime without air conditioning helps).

Other than that, I hear the insects are pretty obnoxious.

And I get along with my fellow Aussies when they (rarely) come to visit; so the accent isn't going to bother me. Actually come to think of it...I get along better with the foreigners in my country than I do the locals. Every single exchange student keeps coming up to *me* to ask questions (ignoring the TAs, professors and lab techs when I'm doing work).

How the heck does that work?

 

[Dr. wonderful]

...Because the land down under have the highest percentage of Melanoma in the world?

*Snip*

No, it's fine. I wasn't planning on sleeping tonight anyway.

 

[Furyaki12]

Even if I had the money, as about half of the posters have already said, those animals seem to serve as heralds for some eldritch world-destroyer.

Cracked has effectively convinced me that even thinking of Australia will guarantee painful death.

1. The long tedious grind before the flight so I get on an equal level.

2. The equipment and spellbooks are gonna cost me a fortune!

3. Really don't want to be awoken in the middle of the night by a fucking BOSS SPIDURR!

Good, you stay over there thank you.

Wow people really think we have scary spiders huh? I guess some of them look pretty scary (huntsmen still give me the willies when they jump out at you), hardly any are really dangerous. Only really the Sydney Funnel-web. Most others are pretty easy to live with.

Flight times and expense I can understand.

 

[Kwik won]

i wouldn't go because as a kiwi id have to pick up the slack and get a job that sum aussy would butch about going to a guy from another country, funny thing is kiwis get hired over aussy's there because of our work ethic and the lack of the aussy's wanting to said job.
oh yeah plus aussy food (meat, veg, milk, chicken ect) has little to no taste, but i will say the fish is very nice

 

[FortheLegion]

I really miss the amazing public transportation

The transportation needs to be good.

To get you away from the spiders and snakes.

One time when I was over in Australia I was walking down the street and I looked behind me and found that I was being followed by a spider. it continued to follow me for some time...

 

[edens_shadow]

I live in Melbourne. It's not so bad, much colder then the rest of this desert continent. In terms most games get released pretty soon after the rest of the world anyway, so no biggie there. As for the creepy crawlies, they die pretty quick if you have a good boot.

 

[asinann]

Because I enjoy being at the top of the food chain.
