...Men At Work?

...Mad Max?

...The Crocodile Hunter?

I think The Simpsons summed it up well:



I think Australians (and New Zealanders for that matter) on the internet often have awfully big egos for being citizens of a country that has contributed practically nothing of value to world history except exploitation and genocide of indigenous peoples. The US did that too, sure, but we ALSO did a lot of other stuff! Australia is like that if that's ALL we did...

If this is your attempt at a steal man, this speaks volumes. I'd say something about Seppos knowing jack about the world but that would be redundant given your 'immense knowledge'. As you seem to be capable of internet usage maybe you look up WiFi for starters Wink.

A quick Google search reveals this link which suggests WiFi was essentially an American invention which Australians like to take credit for because one of their scientists did some research earlier that was useful to the American inventors. I think we would have figured wireless internet out eventually anyway, to be honest...

Like I'm sorry. I'm not trying to put Australia down, honestly. I love Men At Work, Mad Max, AND The Crocodile Hunter! But I also could live without them... I'm just saying. The reason I brought this sensitive subject up anyway is because a certain Aussie on this site seems utterly obsessed with US politics and Donald Trump and I wanted to bring him down a few pegs. I'm sure most Aussies would disown him and hate Trump. The country seems like a cool place with mostly cool people. But it's worth being humbled every now and again, you know? Aussies really have no right to tell us who we should elect, especially if their ideas of good US politicians are absolutely horrendous. And those who try to tell us anyway deserve every bit of mockery that comes their way. I mean if Donald Trump is re-elected, I don't have to worry too much about it if I'm stuck all the way down in Australia LARPing as an American politico. But as an actual American citizen, I absolutely DO have to worry about the implications of that. So I'm gonna make fun of Australia when Aussies try to tell me I should vote for the man who made my life a living hell for four years straight. F--k that and f--k them.
