I'm so glad you understand aussie terms of endearment!flowers

...the reason the wallabies are on the half acre next door is because the rhodes grass is 9 foot high...and the brightest green you have ever seen...all this rain has been good for the native animals...maybe not us hooman animals, but the critters are loving it.

Do you like Fosters????noway


I have to let you in on a little secret...Fosters is a bit of an urban myth...I suspect each state has it's favourite beer...and then we have a few different overall beers we like...me personally?...you can't beat a Crown Lager and a wedge of lime...on a stinking hot day.

The expression "land of the Free" came from a time when America was just getting started. The people were coming from europe where there was a strict class system just coming out of feudalism. In America there was opportunity for anyone that worked for it and had the desire to grow financially. Since WWII the mutinational corporations have bought and paid for the political agenda and have exported this corporate feudalism to most of the western and third world. It is quicly becoming polarized between the rich and the poor all over again.

Well after coming home from a
america, I was really shocked.surprised

I had grown up believing that it was THE LAND OF THE FREE. what

what But what the heck does that meanwhat

I left a country that I thought was having trouble.
I arrived in a country that I saw trouble everywhere.

I left a country where we talk to everyone,
I arrived in a country where its like nobody is game to talk to you.

I left a country where, where if you want to get up off your butt and work then your opportunities are limitless.
I arrived in a country where it seems you opportunities to succeed are limited.

I left home knowing that my children can leave school at 16 or 18 ifhey choose and walk into a good job here and not have to worry as long as they put in the effort.
I arrived in a country, that it seems like the children are in school forever and even if they want to work, they still may have trouble. and if their marks are not great, then their options are limited.

I left home feeling able to walk around without a worry.
I arrived to a place where everyone tells me to be careful , but of what, someone stealing my bagsurprised my stuffsurprised but why, , dont put your stuff downslaphead I dont want to carry it forever.
dont be to friendly. Well what am i supposed to do. Honestly dont this and dont that. i felt like i was 2.

I stopped and asked a soldier for his picture, and it seemed like i had shocked the poor boy just by asking. Why, I was just being friendly. And i wanted his picture. surely this is not strange.

I talked to a navy man for 2 hours on a plane who thought australians where friendly becasue I told him my life storywhat Well what else do you do, when you sit next to someone. hmm now he is coming to australia to visit us on his next trip. soo cool i made a new friend, but it was like peole dont just make random friends.

The next plane I made friends with an Architect, (cant spell it) and he and his wife both have to work to be comfortable, but there daughter struggles inschool and they are worried about her when she is older as she wont have as good an oportunity with out a great education. What happens over there to all those children who dont,have the schooling, how do they cope. We dont need it here.

Hmmm then I found that although everyone was wonderful, people seem trapped in there own little prisons, its like everyone is too scared to smile or let peole see who they really are inside.

When did you all dance in the street, or run around inthe rain, or just giggle beceu you could. or stop and chat to someone you dont know for an hour or two. Or ring a wrong number and make new friends.


anyway, what doyou think that THE LAND OF THE FREE MEANS.
Just it didnt appear free when i was there. so what do you think it actually means.




Josie, celebrate the fact that we don't talk about being free...quite simply....



...we are.:heart:
laugh laugh i like that answer rofl rofl good one Jess!:thumbsup:

I am going to watch it if they ever make one, but really a city boy would be more fun. Honestly getting over there with all those people everywhere you do just feel lost and confused.

Don't forget that "I am better than you" attitude that prevails here too.

Now even here fake cowboys or pretend cowboys are a dime a dozen here. If he ain't wearing a ball cap, wearing fuqued up red wing boots, and has his azz planted on a horse at least once in a day he is a posing pretty boy fag washout no account pretender in a Stetson and over priced pointy boots. Real cowboys know what a cow is and what it looks like and is all too familiar with cow pies! Most of the wannabe "Country Boys" around here have never done a day of work on a ranch or killed an animal they were going to eat. What I think would really be a hoot is to get a bunch of those wannabe cowboys on a reality TV show where they actually have to work on a ranch. My first challenge would be to put them all in front of a pen full of chickens and tell them if they want to eat they have to catch, kill, pluck, and gut a chicken before the cook cooks it for them! Then the next challenge, take that 1000lb Brama Bull (they are peaceful so you don't have to worry about anyone getting killed outright) from one pen and put it in the pasture. Sounds easy but how do you get a 1000lb anything to move when it does not want to?

Now in Australia I would bet there is always some American dipshitte who thinks they can screw around with roos. Oh that whole Boxing Kangaroo thing is such a myth! they are more like Bruce Lee with feet of steel! Kick the hell out of an idiot!!! Or how about the Yancy that wants to hug a Koala. Them things are real bastards!

The real cowboys have the horsey walk, so sexy. Not sure what it is but they just dont walk like a pretend one. its the same as our boys here who work on the stations, they have a different walk, its not a puffed up here i am,its just i am who i am and that makes them sexy, they dont have to pretend or think about it.

I have watched your surviver shows and almost wet myself at the complete incompetance of some people with survival skills, here our kids are taken out with the school and taught basic skills, They have learnt them at home, and just everyday surviavl is common knowledge, so it was a shock to see so many people who have no idea what how to survive, they just sit and whinge.. such a contrast of lives, and yep i would absolutely love to watch some pretend cowboys to come out here and rough it with the statin boys, for a while and see what real life is like.
Oh and i went to one of your fancy cowboy shops, and the clothes there where real pretty and the boots where real pointy and fancy, and i can promise that if any one wore them out here, they would be laughed out of the country, Outback boys dont dress pretty. or wear fancy pointy boots. what
