By the way, I should add that in all debates like this we (and by this I mean me, I guess) run the risk of offending others by our comments. Part of the reason is because short written messages often appear terse (or curt).

I want to discuss these matters with others. And people get emotional. (especially me).

So, to calm myself down, I have some topic digressing jokes for you all:

>From the Australian Bureau of Statistics

> >3 Australians die each year testing if a 9V battery works on their >tongue.

>142 Australians were injured in 1998 by not removing all the pins from new shirts.

>58 Australians are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.

>since 1998 17 Australians have been seriouly injured after being hit by cars while running naked down the street.

>31 Australians have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.

>19 Australians have died in the last 3 years by eating >Christmas decorations they believed were chocolate.

>Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling incidents.

>101 Australians since 1997 have had to have broken parts of plastic toys pulled out of the soles of their feet.

>18 Australians had serious burns in 1998 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.

>A massive 543 Australians were admitted to casualty in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth or eye socket.

5 Australians were injured last year in accidents involving out of control scale electic cars.

.........and finally:

8 Australians cracked their skull in 1997 after falling asleep (passingout) while throwing up into the toilet.

YEP! It's great to be Australian!
