Hey, the Aussie accent is great with foreigners, or in his case, non-foreigners. I've had people interested in me just because of my accent. I think Aussie accents are gross, but maybe it's the whole NZ-Australia rivalry thing. Why do NZers like velcro so much? They get a better grip on the sheep :lol: NZers can't say "Chips" properly.

Turning 1 on the 19th!! :thumbsup:

OMG It's a lion! :shock:

I'm more likely to reply to private messages than threads these days ;)

I suggested this ages ago possibly even a year or more ago in the relationship thread but didn't take it any further. I'm still for the idea :thumbup: even if I'm not around much anymore.

Rick has some really valid points... also depending on what your state is like for employment (here there isn't a freakin job unless you're a registered nurse or lawyer) I wouldn't advise moving out because jobs are few and far between in the economic crisis. What happens if you get the sack? How will you pay your rent with what little salary you get each week? Are you part time, full time or casual? If you're casual they can drop your hours like that *click*

Just curious but why only 10 million dollars, why not make it 10 billion or more? and just sparked my memory on #3, some women get tons of orgasms while giving birth. Dont really feel like finding that article now though. Ten million will do quite fine the interest is good enough to never work a day in either Brent or I's life ever again with holidays and extras. The interest alone would be more than Brent and I's salary put together. It's just enough : As for #3 well they're bloody lucky aren't they!! I was too busy swearing at anything that moved. Worse pain ever!! Someone might as well have sliced me open with a pocket knife. Too much information...

Pitty you're not in Brisbane my offer of the spare room is still there :P

1. Ten million dollars - to buy a house and live off the interest 2. Good health and lives for all my children 3. To not feel pain while giving birth.... yeah totally have to add that one.

Only 5% of kids lie about the abuse, which means 95% of sexual abuse cases are true. Just thought I would add that one in there.

To put it bluntly, that's [bleep]ing disgusting behaviour from her family. Unfortunately this crap happens way too often, especially when a daughter has been sexually assaulted by a member of the family. Too many mothers will try to "sweep it under the rug" or call their daughter a "liar" because that means they'd have to deal with feelings of being a failure as a mother. It really is freakin disgusting and any family member that disowns their children for something they had no control over needs to be shot. I've had enough of family members who try to blame their children for their sexual assaults. They'd much rather try to throw the blame on their child. Way too common, way, way too common. Shoot them all, negligent [wagon].

I got grounded for 2 months when I lied about going to a movie marathon and went driving around the city with my friends instead. I got my days wrong and the advert came on television. Doh! I've done so much worse, I just never got caught :lol:

Just certain behaviours and manners of people. For example a 25+ year old walking around threatening to hit people (act your age!). Or a 13/14 year old raving on about how much they want a baby - (Do you feel that unloved?) just crap like that.

Tax return today *does a little dance* \

Some things piss me off like only having to make a couple of house payments and then it's theirs or a couple of payments on a brand new 4-wheel drive and it belongs to them. But at the same time like Zierro said Aboriginals are less likely to be employed (though there is higher unemployment rate in white people - there are more white people who sit on their [wagon] and do nothing but there are more of us). so I guess that would be helpful to the aboriginal people who actually want to work and support their family. What gets to me is the one's who have a brand new house and then dig up their floor boards to make fire wood in their living room. If you didn't want a house why don't you give it to a family who need it and go bugger off in the bush somewhere? I'd say that about a white person too if they did such an idiotic thing.

There are more white people on welfare than the entire Aboriginal culture. There is a higher unemployment rate in white people. Not to mention a higher rate in theft/crime by white people. White people drink more too, they just drink safer amounts. Let's create a thread about how [bleep]ed up white people are lol

Before you judge a culture, try attempting to learn a bit about them. Fewer Aboriginal people drink alcohol in comparison with non-Aboriginal people. However, of those who drink, do so at more harmful levels. And that's hardly surprising considering the colonization and the ongoing legacy of that era. And when I say Aboriginal I am also including those of Torres Straight/Islander descent. At the 2001 census, Australia's population amounted to almost 19.5 million (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2002). Of this total, it was estimated that less than half a million people (2.4%) were Aboriginal or Torres Straight Islander. One fifth of the Aboriginal population were concentrated in the Northern Territory. In other states (and territories) of Australia the Aboriginal population amounted to less than 4% of the total. Although in areas of the Northern Territory such as Jabiru and Apatula, aboriginals are accounted for approx. three quarters of the total population (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2002). In 2001, one fifth of the Aboriginals reported that they did not even drink alcohol (20.6%), in comparison to slightly fewer non Aboriginals (17.3%; Australian Institute of Health and Welfare 2002a). However, a higher percentage of Aboriginal people reported drinking amounts considered at risk for either short-term or long-term damage. Almost half the Aboriginal population have reported risky drinking for short-term harm, and 20% reported drinking at levels considered risky for long-term harm (48.7% and 19.9%, respectively; AIHW 2002b). There is a general agreement that colonization is reflected in the social and economic disparities between Aboriginals and the rest of Australia. For example, in 1997-99 the life expectancy at birth for the Aboriginal people was approx. 20 years lower than the rest of Australia (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2001). A 1994 national survey involving Aboriginals showed that education, income and home ownership is reduced (Australian Bureau of Statistics 1996). Hospital data also indicate higher levels of mental disorders, behavioural disorders and a higher hospitalization rate for diseases (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2001). There is also some debate that Aboriginals had access to intoxicating substances prior to colonization. Some argue that Aboriginal people's lack of awareness regarding intoxicating substances meant they were particularly vulnerable to alcohol misuse when colonization occurred. Brady (1998) reports various examples of Aboriginal's manufacture of low-alcohol drinks from the parts of Indigenous plants and trees, which took place before colonization. For example, the sap of Eucalyptus Gunnii, of which can be extremely intoxicating when allowed to be left for some time. Many Aboriginal slaves were also paid in Alcohol by the white landowners in exchange for their labor (Atkinson 2002; Saggers & Grey 1998). For almost a century, the Aboriginal population were legally prohibited from drinking (Alexander 1990). For example, as late as 1965, in Western Australia a person could be fined up to $200 or imprisoned for six months for supplying a "native" with alcohol (Saggers & Gray 1998). Here are some Aboriginal comments which reflected the uplifting of this law: "When we had citizenship to drink, that time I drink" "When people got citizen for alcohol, then everybody start drinking" (Brady 1995a. pp. 54 & 63). Aboriginals of Australia mainly drink in groups. Some Northern Territory locals named their favourite places as the following "the long grass", the "river bank" or "the park" (Alati 1996). Communal drinking contributes to feelings of equality and encourages sharing (Atkinson 2002). While other Aboriginals declared that they "drink in order to belong" (Alexander 1990, p. xvi). It seems it is a traditional obligation within the Aboriginal community to share their resources.

Wonders why people who have barely known each other for 6 months can rush in to marriage, the fail statistic is high for a reason lol It's so stupid when people rush in to marriage because they are "in love".

Good point ^^ I also urge gauper_kid to look up rape statistics. Oh by the way you may pledge your life to abstinence and then when you do decide to have sex you may give your wife herpes and you'll be wondering how the hell that happened. One of your family members may have innocently kissed you goodnight when they were active or even a family friend. And then when you have children and decide to teach them abstinence your wife may repeat the above steps. I'm sure you'll be saying "Oh darn!, close!"
