Things were hopping last time I was here, did my departure really shake everyone up this much?

Glad to see things are still running though.

Interesting side question? Is it legal to hunt Kangaroo? I know I saw a few places offering the meat, but in most areas it seemed that folks go out of their way to protect them.

And that's why you're a lot more reasonable than some of the foreigners I've dealt with.

I first went to Australia when I was 16-17 as a school thing and fell in love, been back twice... Last time was around... 16 months ago I guess... A friend was working with one of the big corps. in Sydney and had me out for a week.
I can't wait to go again. The U.S. is my home, and I love it dearly, but if I ever leave it's because I found a job in Australia. I'll tell you when I'm heading back again, hopefully in the next year or so...

My actual point was more of a numbers thing, 7 is a lot worse than 1, yet if you consider that 5 of those 7 were directly related to the 1st, it makes a little difference.

Really? All the times I've been in Australia, I always thought you had to dig a little to find any American news, perhaps I was reading the wrong papers and watching the wrong news. Still I think theres a difference in hearing about something that happened in the U.S. when you live in the U.S. and when you hear about something that happened in the U.S. and you live in a different country.

A lot of foreigners would chalk it up to "those crazy Americans"

Why doesn't it happen in Australia? Good question, I'd say tougher gun laws do play a part. God forbid though, should someone go out of there way to get a weapon and do something like that, then you could see another round of violence similar to what we have faced.

I mean why don't kids in Mexico shoot there classmates? I know for a fact you can get automatic weapons down there, no problem.

Sadly though, I think the US had a series of individuals who were determined to go out there and hurt people, they were going to do it no matter what.

Recently theres been a little more activity like this in Europe, and in some of those place, gun ownership in virtually nill.

Besides, tougher gun laws, and even removal of guns, is not going help. Not in this day an age. All it will do is take the guns out lawful citizens hands. And force more criminals to go through Mexico for handguns and South America for automatics.

Why do gangbangers have Mac-10's, pretty sure you everday citizen isn't supposed to have those, in any place.

Sorry, got a little long winded there. I'm not really an ultra-conservative, but this is one thing I do feel passionatly about.

Just to point out, a very likely reason for some of those massacre's, is copycat syndrome. Which is brought on by the fact that when anything shooting related happens here in the US. It receives tons of media attention. This makes some of the loons out there see the attention people receive and desire it themselves. You see that in other countries that have these situations also.

Thats not something I thought up, that was from some lecture on criminology in psych or soc. back in college...

If you take away the right to bear arms in America, mall shootings won't stop, church shootings, school shootings, etc. Those incidents have less to do with gun control than they do with problems we have in our society and culture. Even if there wasn't a single gun in America, people would go to malls and kill others with knives and bombs.

Interestingly enough, when I was in Costa Rica, you saw guns everywhere, people working in stores had them, a McDonalds employee had one, bank security guards carried shotguns. When I asked if things were dangerous, they said there was almost no violent crime, simply because if you tried to hurt someone with a gun, there was a good chance four or five would be pointed back at you.

I can also say for a fact that a gun saved my Uncles life. If he hadn't been allowed to own and have a gun, he would most likely not be here today.

Ouch, I'm not that much older than him, that hurts...

Whats a topic?

Men are attracted to breasts, because in reality, they're the only visible difference between a man and a woman, visible in the sense when people have clothes on...

Well I'm no aussie... but don't ask for Fosters in Aussie, they'll probably just laugh at you... But I guess you could also run the risk of being stabbed... They don't drink it... Or if they do, it's not much...

I appreciate you explanation, and will try and make sure that my comments are understood to be funny, when I want them to...

Bondi is barely fucking illterate, like the rest of the Australian population

Ok?

And we should all try to remember that just cause some people are asshole, doesn't mean everyone in their country is, like the Australian women who purposely closed the door when I asked her to hold the elevator....

Bondi would never do that... I mean, hed atleast flip me off before he closed the elevator...

Ahh, true... and in retrospect, I could have made it "obvious" although I thought the "woot" portrayed it...

But then you also have to consider, people could have considered it a joke before jumping down my throats. Or you could have looked at the subject, and realized I was talking about the summer olympics (which we really are the best at, in terms of metals) even though I still had no malintent intended....

So perhaps what I am saying is that while my wording was not obvious, some people should have considered certain aspects, before making certain comments, which were somewhat offensive... THOUGH, I completly don't care, because I geuss people who took my statement out of context could have been offended....

although they probably would have to be weak willed, pansy's who cry in
fights....

p.s. The aformentioned is a joke..... Or is it?

It's people like you who take stuff to seriously, that give Americans a bad name...
I'm sorry if I sound rude, because I'm not trying to be, I like you Bondi, I like Aussies...

I also like to joke around, and I wish people would think about that before just assuming I'm another American who thinks I'm better than everybody else...

Because if you talk to me for five minutes... You'll get that I'm not, and if you see me when I travel around the world, then you'll see why some people go "aww Americans aren't that bad"...

So really, just consider somone might be joking before you jump them... Even if they aren't....

Take it down a couple of notches.... I was joking... Still we are still one of the most powerful teams in the summer games... Granted we put a lot of money in to it... but so do other coutries, China, Japan, Germany... In truth we probably put less in to it, compared to countries like China. The reason they put so much money in to it, is in fact, to try and beat the U.S. It's about national pride, and everybody wants to knock off the best... and since they usually seem to want to beat us, thats probably means we're the best... So in a sense, I am right, and we are the best... at the summer olympics...
But again, I really wasn't trying to be serious. I am a Jester. So try and knock off a tit of the attitude when correcting me...

We blow at the winter games (U.S.) I mean we're not that horrible... But we kick so much more ass during the summer olympics... I love to watch the summer games, they just remind me how much better we are than the rest of the world...

Ahh, a funny movie, one of my favorite shows... I try and watch every episode twice, sober, then drunk or high....

I must also agree... Oil+Boobs, Oil+Boobs!!!

Also a little berry white in the background, we won't be able to hear it but it should help ya'll get into the mood...

Damn! Lookin good, welcome to RMM, hope you keep posting!

Another amazing, all around, perfect, example of the female body!
Damn, so many good looking ladies on here...

I'm at 6, and theres one I don't count, because I can honestly not remember it, or even the day it happened... If you count oral sex like some people have, then I'm somewhere up near.... 20(?)

I would know about the hot ones...

You mean senilitus maximus?

Me? Well yeah, thats sort of a given, it's like telling Jimmy Fallon he can't get through a skit without blowing it...

Maybe we're like scotch, better with age...

We are?
