Lollll - i thought setting me apart from others and calling me out on being rude was a sign of poor manners...i might be of slim build but hey, i have broad shoulders and can carry what you say - your perogative. I am an American who proudly calls Australia home, I'm married to an Australian and our kids are all Queenslanders. I've lived here for twelve years and will be here for the remainder of my days. But Blue to tell people to settle petal is rude and condescending,EXCUSE ME!!! Gather your facts petal before you make rash statements - not everyone in America understands the Aussie slang but I do, Pfffftttttt - obviously you dont because that is as far from Aussie Slang as you call it as one can get - it makes you sound very arrogant. Proud to be called arrogant - far better than being ignorant.That might not be your intention but that's how you sound. I get very protective when people start slamming America, yes they are having major problems at the moment but what country isn't not even Australia has escaped from the GFC, and to say its the lucky country we pay 3x the amount for fuel, power, groceries, rent, cars, everything. Oh for crying out loud - stop it - our wages are 3 times higher than America - so again - gather your facts please - before claiming things that aren't true.Yes we do get somethings like Medicare, and dental if you can't afford it. But when someone waits seven years to get cataracts removed or do their own dental surgery because you have to wait six weeks to get a tooth fixed that's not lucky thats cruel. Well petal - if more people stopped bludging off the Health system and paid into private health then the waiting lists wouldn't be so long - And coming from Queensland yourself Blue you would know how bad the Bruce Highway is. Hmmmmm, not sure where you gathered that incorrect fact from - but i wasn't born anywhere near Qld - Actually i am a Victorian born and breed - but WA is my home now - It's like a two lane death trap. Back roads in the states are in better condition than one of the major highways in Australia. So Australia does have the sun and the surf but to say its lucky is true but it doesn't share it luck with everyone. I'm sorry to hijack this post and I might get in trouble but I couldn't sit back and read anymore without saying something.Chat away - great to read your input - just gather your facts first - and yes indeed we Australians do live in a lucky country - gert by sea - and if one works hard -plans for the future - it doesn't mean life won't throw them a curve ball - but we do our best to prep for the future - we can cross any border freely - and accept 99.9% of those who wish to live in this sun blessed country - yes, many whinge and whine about the small stuff in life - pfffttttttt, good grief - i woke up this morning and i put two feet on the ground - many people weren't so fortunate.
And i am the first to throw my hand up in the air and yell that i do support the economy in the States - hells bells, the money i have poured into America by buying Caking suppkies is enough to support a small country - lollllllllllllllllllllll
