Happy Australia Day

Tea is nought but this: first you heat the water, then you make the tea. Then you drink it properly.

I've never met an Australian I didn't like.

The country seems to abound with every form of venomous wildlife except the Arrogant Asshole.

By venomous wildlife I was strictly talking about spiders, snakes etc.

Excellent video Tinker. I loved it. Thanks for posting.

Happy Aussie Day to all down under.

Please don't ever get as fucked up as the individual Americans and Europeans who feel guilty about lavender that happened decades or centuries before they were born.

I never understood such an attitude. No wonder they are all miserable. Part of the justness of the universe I guess. Could also be part of the meaning of Karma. Internal pain caused by irrational ideology.

Here in the US, most of the whinning is self-loathing.

Either those who blame their parents and DNA for their status in life, or those who feel guilty about something that someone with the same skin color, nationality, religion, etc. did decades or centuries before they were born, or the cosmic injustice of life in general. Huge amounts of guilt over the accident of birth.......

I always laugh when I hear someone talk about "racism in America." Those who see racism everywhere they look, are usually looking in a mirror.

Most people deal with the other people they meet as individuals. Sometimes people just don't like other people cause they are jerks, got nothing to do with skin color, religion, nationality, etc. But there is a lot of money to be made in being either a savior or a victim.

Again attitude..... seems like we keep coming back to alcohol as a solution doesn't it?

Yeah, and people making excuses for their own mistakes.

It's easier than working for a living.

where I live, the rednecks ;) control a lot more land than the redskins, and they are already self-medicating. In a drinking contest, I have little chance of winning....
