Well, since some of us (as in, some of you) celebrated the 4th of July, let's celebrate the 26th of January. Back in 1788, the First Fleet officially landed, so the nation is 230 years old. So, let's crack open a tinnie and put a shrimp on the barbie (actually, no one does that) and celebrate Australia Day! Or don't, it's totally up to you.

I love Australia this time of year. The Alps are beautiful.

Australian blondes are abundant, that's also a good thing.

I love Australia this time of year. The Alps are beautiful. Wait a minute, you don't live in Australia, do you? I thought you live in Trump land? Anyway, I have a strong, burning passionate love for Australia. It was truly a magical place before white people showed up and ruined it with all the countless invasive species we brought, as well as the obligatory deforestation that should be expected with our race. Even though the land will never be the same, Australia is still a truly glorious part of Earth. I hope that immigration rates there eventually cease; I've heard that the insane influx of asians is becoming a problem. |

And you sure love raining on people's parades, don't you? |

Roight then, fellas. =hiccup= Vids! MeleeMonk Most of the trouble we have with asians are rich Chinese buying up our properties as investment pieces and letting them sit empty, whilst pushing the price up of all the other available properties. It's what's called the Housing Bubble. Also, The aborigines will never be happy. Sure, they don't have to celebrate "Invasion Day", but it's a grudge that will never go away. When the rest of the world developed writing, metalsmithing, etc., while they developed....=shrugs shoulders=, there was no way life was going to be the same. If history went differently, I'd be speaking Portuguese or Dutch, because they found this land before the British. Enough of that Click Go The Shears! Get some of these classics: That bald guy, Peter Garrett, was our federal environment minster 11 years ago. He was useless. Now, here's Ty the Tasmanian Tiger. Fun fact: all the voice actors are actually Australian, but they exaggerated their accents because...foreign markets. THAT'S NOT A CAT, YOU IDIOT! The Tasmanian Tiger was a marsupial, like the Tasmanian Devil & HOW WAS IT RACIST AGAINST AUSTRALIANS?! cobrettiBorderlands Presequel was developed by 2K's Australian branch. So everyone on the moon of Elpis is Australian for some reason. This quest is a reference to an old song called Waltzing Matilda. A jumbuck is a kind of sheep. Bon appetit! |

I hate Trump, but I'm not that fond of the idea of immigration either. But in the United States at this time it's pretty justifiable, since the vast majority of immigrants are syrian and mexican refugees who are just trying to escape their war-torn countries. Australia on the other hand not only has far less habitable land than the US but also has immigrants who have no real reason to move to Australia, and are just doing it for their own self pleasure. It's just a really bad idea because Australia really can't sustain that big a population. |

It seems like that is mostly a European and Asian problem. |

Mexico is a hotspot for illegal drug cartels, some of which are so powerful that even the Mexican government can't stop them. There's so much crime and violence in Mexico that it's an absolute nightmare. Yeah, syrians make up a large percentage of all immigrants to the US right now; at least, that's what I've heard on the news. |

From the environmentalism to the white shaming and then ending with a little anti-Asian racism just to pull it all together. What an emotional rollercoaster! This is the content that I signed up for. The rest of you could learn something from this. |
