I find you a funny sort of fellow. Why on God’s green earth are you on an American forum, with a rather unkind attitude to boot?
I am asking a serious question. I have friends in your country and not one of them would take the time and effort to engage anyone on this forum, what would be the motive??
And just to be clear, your reference to the glory of your country is interesting. I have heard quite a different point of view. Seems you guys have some of the same issues, in that not everyone is enamored with your healthcare and minimum wage. Good thing you guys got a hold
of the looney greenies you have running wild there.
I’ve noticed your posts in other threads, alot in the last week or so, and you tend to come off rather snarky. Just an FYI. Not really presenting a positive face for your country. Kindness goes much further.
My problem is purely that when I mention where I am from and suggest it’s a nice place to live the very first reply I always get is BUT CAN I CARRY A GUN!?
And when I reply, and try to explain, you need a permit, and a safe place to store a weapon, usually I am told that’s why our gun deaths have gone through the roof. Which isn’t true.
So this time, I didn’t reply directly, I suggested that our demographics were different, our history was different, but that didn’t do it, it still came back to BUT CAN I CARRY A GUN.
For the last time. We are nor a GUN CULTURE. We did not have a civil war, not a wild west, nor a war of independence, and our estimation of ourselves isn’t that we are the best people in the whole wide world, we weren’t brought up with any idea of being exceptional. Just decent, down to earth, hardworking everyday average Aussies.
As for posting on a US forum, why not? It’s open to people from numerous english-speaking countries. Look at your flag line-up sometime.

ten years ago, I wrote a series of opinion pieces for IsraeliNationalNews, one of which was picked up and published on FR - and when I found the Google link to my article here, I liked what I saw, and registered.
My interest at the time was to try and warn people about islam, my motive was to publizise a book written by Canon, Edward Sell, published in 1913, which was a biography of the warlord muhammad.
The link is at the top.
And that’s what brought me here, funny fellow that I am. At the time I couldn’t think of anyone anywhere else who needed the warning more...
