You know you're epic when you can be your own continent as well as a country.

Considerable percentage of Australian population is obese. I dislike obesity.
I still prefer Australia over America any day, though.
Also:
(Edit: Repost, I fail. )
And it has cool weather.

Ever gone to the outer suburbs and seen the mullet-sporting, moccasin-wearing scum that populates Australia? Ever watched 60 minutes or aca or Today Tonight? Look at the whole Cronulla thing.. our bogans are just as thumb-in-the-arse backwards as anyone else's. Most people in any given country are stupid, intolerant, ignorant sheep. The only difference is the US has:
a) Really scary evangelical, gun-rights and other right wing lobby groups that give their rednecks an organisational structure; and
b) they've got the motherfuckin nukes which justifies any ignorant opinion they might want to share with the world.
Add those two factors to our society and we'd sustain the same rhetoric they do.
That's why I think patriotism is bs. It relies on some underlying assumption that you're inherently superior by virtue of having popped out of a vagina in one country as opposed to another.. That and it so easily leads to nationalism of a really ugly flavour among the easily led dumbasses that constitute the majority of any populace.
Thank you! Domesticated might have well started the whole Cronulla Riots. I can walk to Cronulla from my unit; I am around these people all the time, I can't take it.

My girlfriend lived in Australia for 6 months, and would just about kill to go back. From all the things I've heard about it, I'd love to go there and maybe even live there. However, the whole "it takes forever for anything to get there" thing would probably drive me crazy, but that's because I'm a stupid ignorant American who is used to instant gratification.

We don't need daylight savings here because there's so much daylight there isn't any point in saving it. Daylight savings confuses the rest of the world anywho I definitely don't miss doing that shizz
PS Australian rednecks put the hicks in North Carolina where I grew up to shame.
PPS I've yet to see a giant spider here and I live in the rainforest.
