Wow. Australian media is terrible. I hadn't even heard of this until now. I'm glad they booted her, but you're right that it would be monetary more than moralistic.

On behalf of Australia, I sincerely apologise for our village idiots. I just.. I'm going to hide in a corner and pretend that her and I weren't raised in the same society.

Because there has been no evidence at all presented that it was due to anything other than absent-mindedness.

Pretty much. Though we do use the term "mate" for our actual friends in more formal situations like "Hey mum, this is my mate xxxx" because that's about as formal as it gets in country where you walk past the prime minister on a public visit and call him a dickhead.

Yeah, it's pretty common. To the point where I don't actually find it anymore offensive than "dick" or "cock" because.. well... that's kind of how most Australians roll. My dad calls his his friends "cock" as is "G'day cock, how ya going" (yes, my dad doesn't talk like that, I wish I were exaggerating) My favourite…

Keeps the annoying tourists away.

Yeah sorry, if you had a Funnel Web rearing up at you, you'd be on your own. I'd be to busy screaming and crying.

This is the best Australian comedy band ever and they will confirm your foreigner fears of our animals:

But they're all super easy to squish with your foot. Or make your husband squish with his foot. (Yes, my husband is the spider killer, yes this probably makes me a bad feminist of some sort.)

Seriously, Australian spiders aren't that bad considering we don't have Tarantula's or Bird-Eaters. *shudders* Though I have an incredible fear of large spiders, so I might be a little bit biased.

I have no idea what you're trying to say, but like I said above, my country has strict gun laws that dictate who can own a gun. As far as I'm aware it's illegal to carry a gun just as a matter of course, you need to have a reason for carrying it.

Ideally no one would, ever have guns. Because, ideally, no one would ever kill anyone ever. I totally get that and that's my absolute dream too. But, sadly, a dream.

It's only a threat when they start swinging them around.

Depends, are you criticizing what they're wearing of their "Buckets of cellulite" because in this article I saw nary a body snark. Just snark for the heinous bathing suits.

YOU STOP IT.

.....

Do people who advocate for control legislation actually say "Only cops should have guns"? Because that's crazy. I'm pro gun-control but I don't think only police should have guns. I live in a country with incredibly tight gun control laws and no one is advocating for only police to have guns, only that there needs to…

It deserves to be shared twice, it's a great story.

Well, I mean. Those gays and all... they make him feel threatened so, you know. Also, really, how about those sex workers, ay? They're pretty hot. Also, he's going to meet Obama, he's nice. Pity he's a stinking liberal. LITTLE L.

Awesome, I didn't know that. It would be great if you were a teacher here Kat! I'd be stoked if my kid was being taught by someone as intelligent as you.
