    We have poisonous snakes and insects in the same way u have guns. I'm sure our insects kill 1/1000th times what ur guns do.

        Reside in rural country aust niner where its not that uncommon to wake up with a huntsman spider eye-balling you...Red-back spiders are the worst though as they are probably most poisonous insect there is, their webs are spun from this shite thats super elastic and easy to get wrapped up in...

            Don't forget the jellyfish. Box Jellyfish and the little ones (iriganchi??) are very dangerous too.

            The thing about having all of these things though is that they are very well prepared in terms of having anti-venom and other treatments available.

                Not to let facts get in the way of a good story, but In the last 20 years in Australia, there have been 24 recorded fatalities due to shark attacks, which averages 1.2 per year. In the last 50 years, there have been 52 recorded fatalities due to shark attack, which averages 1.04 per year.

                Bees are more dangerous than sharks, with on average 2-3 deaths per year from bee stings.

                However, despite all the dangers, we are much better at killing ourselves. There are an average of 87 deaths per year from people drowning at the beach, or other beach related activites (fishing, diving).

                  My aunt lives with her family in Sydney and loves it. Cane back here with the kids to live in Martha's Vineyard for a few years just to give them a chance to live the American lifestyle but decided recently to take them back. Beautiful place.

                  JJ, I thought your parents gave you 90 days to move out like 7-8 months ago??

                    We don't go to the TAB anymore. That's what the internet is for!

                    See this for what the typical TAB clientèle looks like - http://youtu.be/gsw4WZWPQY0

                    Australian girls hate Americans unless you look like Kanye or Justin Bieber. You have no chance.

                        Why would you bet at the TABs, the lines are like 11 cents at the TAB. Just sit at home and enjoy the Pinnacle lines JJ.

                                        Don't listen to Mat JJ. Yanks clean up with the women in Sydney. Just bring a navy uniform

                                        And every pub has a TAB lounge in it. And there is a pub on every corner.




                                        Plus, Sydney is sister city to SF. Full of blokes that love the rooster if you really aren't as straight as an arrow.

                                        .

                                            Germany has a great health system, but you need to be a Turk or ethnic German to join up. Unfortunately, they'll take all your money as taxes and pay off the Greek debt these days. The Frauleins are fine, and tend to like degenerates, so JJ as an angle here.

                                                    I can live Down Under. Legally. But I won't. Australia and New Zealand are great, but there is no risk in those societies. No upside, no downside. Just everybody kind of safely hanging around in the middle ground. US has no safety net. You either win or you lose. That forces people to be much more dynamic. Why do you think almost all the great ideas come from America? Or why the innovators come to America?

                                                      The rotary washing line was invented in Australia. I think that refutes your point entirely!

                                                      In all seriousness though, what "great ideas" are/were actually American? You do excess very well and you do marketing even better but in terms of true ingenuity..............?
