Are you serious?? Gun Violence in Australia no where near compares to what it does here. It's not to say deaths by guns NEVER OCCUR, but to compare there levels of crime and gun violence to ours is absurd. There is no comparison. AS far as global warming, the earth has a way of evening itself out, it goes through periods like we are experiencing now. America also has had plenty of droughts in area, people had to conserve water. It's a part of life, you take what you got and go with it. Is it hotter in AU ummm yeah OF COURSE look where it is located. Just like it can get pretty cold in Canada, I really can not understand your logic 3/4 of the time. If you don't want your neighbor to raise 100 pigs next to you buy enough property it isn't a problem of live in city lines where it isn't allowed. You choose where you want to live. We plan on buying land and building on it, when we do we will buy enough that we won't have to worry about pesky neighbors.
there was no comparison made , just stated the fact that there is gun violence in other countrys as well , probably not to the point as the USA .. but there is gun violence evrywere . the logic is simple , the USa has gun violence and a stupid pres, Au has serious CO 2 emissions , a serious drought , global warming is effecting it ,as well as its own drug and gun deaths, in other words its not the perfect country as Mr Bondi would have us all believe , he has bashed our gun laws , our president , our war effort , our gun violence , I was just pointing out by using articles from his own area newspapers that his country has problems as well , and they all our life changing problems , if a person has to move its life changing in my book if someone dies its life changing , So hope that helps ya , to put it simple for simple minded people . People that live in glass houses should not throw stones ,
Ive been thru the 1988 -1989 drought of the midwest , your right a person just has to adapt .its tough on the pocket book but its life ... I think my point to you is simple , Your preaching to the choir ..
As far as the hogs go I was here first , I shouldnt have to move . and I bought 1000 acres but it lays next to a highway and the hogs are across the road ..

when you do indeed buy land you better buy big and build in the middle . As far as city life thats a whole different set of problems , the garbage , the screaming kids , the late night partys , parking , parking , parking , traffic . neighbers infringing on your property , neighbers that dont clean ther propertys and so on . its to each there own and we all make Choices .. Its all good .. in summary the USa is far from perfect but its a free country so far anyway and its the land of the free and the home of the brave ,, and its all we got those of us that live here ..and were proud of it as you all our of your home land .. and for that I salute ya ...
