Did you know you can't get your Koala license until you're 21?

A strong sturdy people that have a lot of BS to deal with. I've heard lots of bad things about the total lack of social welfare, and how it's nearly impossible to get into a higher station in life. Three great online friends have died over the last year because they couldn't get basic medical attention.

[BronzedAdonis]

Lol all false

[Opinion Owner]

Not the part about three people dieing.

[BronzedAdonis]

I know but we have universal healthcare

[BronzedAdonis]

And welfare

[Opinion Owner]

In all parts? I was led to belive that if you weren't well connected that you'd never get ahead.

[Opinion Owner]

They were also living in a rental house that should have been condemned.

[BronzedAdonis]

Our social mobility is fine

[Opinion Owner]

That's my only exposure. I was friends with them for 3 years online, and they slowly all passed away due to exposure in the house being ill fit fit habitation.

[BronzedAdonis]

Bad luck

[KirstyW]

Feel very positive about them.

Aus, UK, NZ, most Canadians seem to lack the attributes that makes them foreigners to one another, which I think is a good thing. It's like somebody from your own country with a different accent, we like the same things, talk about the same things etc.

[BronzedAdonis]

They're all part of the commonwealth

[KirstyW]

Yeah, and even though our political elites like to claim that doesn't matter, it definitely does. Makes a HUGE difference! :)

Example - if you put those nationalities together at a party, where they haven't met each other before, there isn't any awkwardness, walking on eggshells etc - this is more than just a language thing.

[BronzedAdonis]

true thought I'm a republican.

[KirstyW]

Why? What's that going to improve?

I think that would be the start of Aus becoming 'just another country'.

[MaiNameIsSunshine]

They like the shramp on the barbie?

Jk, EVERYONE likes grilled shrimp, not just aussies.

[BronzedAdonis]

true but we call them prawns

[Dipsy]

Cool people, awesome sounding accent

so true

[BlueCoyote]

Australia: The perfect example that re-socialization of prisoners works really well :-).

[madhatters4]

the few that i have encounter have all been really cool people

[DizzyDesii]

Presumably friendly. Very funny. Great accents. The majority are hot. Yep thats about it haha. At least based on the Aussies i talked to on here and saw on tv lol. Guess I watched too many Mary Kate and Ashley movies 🙈🙊

[Bananaman177]

They're not as cool in real life as Crocodile Dundee.

[BronzedAdonis]

True

[Bananaman177]

Except for Steve Irwin. He was legit. Too bad about him. I'm still sad.

[BronzedAdonis]

May he and Heath Kedger RIP. They were national treasures

[TadCurious]

I think the Aussies are great. They're a big part of the English-speaking world and a bastion of Western Civilization way "down under." I've never been there but I would definitely love to visit Australia.

[BronzedAdonis]

Never come during our Summer, it's unbearable.

[Cosytoasty]

Bunch of tossers really.

Nah, most are good at heart. But some are blunt to the point of being rude compared to the British. Your construction workers are as good as the Irish though 👍 top class.

[BronzedAdonis]

We are a bunch if tossers

[Redstang88]

You mean I can't get my koala license yet? Shit!
I love Aussies, you meet a ton of them working the ski hills out west here. Seem pretty chill and definitely fun to hang out with, but that accent is impossible to take seriously. They could be screaming the worst insults I can imagine at me and I'd still be laughing.

[BrittBratt2416]

I never met an Australian in real life but i have seen them on the internet.. they seem like cool people. I really love their accents too

[BronzedAdonis]

feel free to come down under anytime. We need more Black chicks.

[BrittBratt2416]

... woah how you know i was black lol Most people assume im mixed lol

[BronzedAdonis]

your DP gave it away

[BrittBratt2416]

im not sure what that is

hah thank you

[JenSCDC]

I've only known one Aussie, a former rowing coach. Great guy.

What I found interesting is easily us Americans starting using "no worries" because of him. Ten years later, the phrase is still part of my vocabulary!

[IndependentUnicorn]

honestly i dont know that much. well i know but we dont have prejudies.
in australia its very warm... and i've heard that many australians are sick of these europeans who do one year work and travel there

[BBMonarch]

I see them as honorary Europeans if Im honest.. Northern Europeans, just maybe more outgoing..

[BronzedAdonis]

its debateable were Western Europeans

[BBMonarch]

Like.. Scandinavia and down the side including Germany & The Netherlands and down to Spain.. so yeah.. that side from top to bottom probably if I think it over..

[BronzedAdonis]

IMHO Northern Europe is comprised of the 5 Nordic countries & the 3 Baltic countries. Western Europe is UK, Ireland, France and Holland.

I'm curious, whats Norwegian dating culture like? How do you guys feel about dating foreigners?

[BBMonarch]

Ok, then the Australians are like Nordic & Western Europes in my opinion.. :p
The dating culture in Norway.. I can't speak for the entire country but I know that several of my friends have 'things' for different foreign looks (myself included) and I've grown up in liberal areas with liberal parents so I've grown up being told that there isn't really any difference except culture.. so the only thing that matter is if Im attracted to them/like them.

[BronzedAdonis]

cool, I know there is a Pakistani minority in Norway. how are they seen among White Norwegians? Do the former date interracially?

[BBMonarch]

Well, yes and no.. its getting more normal as the second and third generation is growing up, but that its not so much of it has more to do with religion than that they are foreign looking..
But I live in the capital, so we are used to mixing.. probably a lot of racist c**ts here too, I am just not friends with them :p

[Phoenix98]

I have views on the people except that some of them are into some weird ass stuff. And I am not a fan of the country itself.

[BronzedAdonis]

why not?

[Phoenix98]

Your laws and policy's are destroying your guys free speech and a lot of you don't even realize it, your not really allowed to have weapons, and you guys just passed some freaky allow that makes it not only legal to have sex with dirt, tree's and plants but identifies it as a new sex type.

Not only that but you guys are seriously getting screwed on housing costs and just costs in general, your prices are outrageously ridiculous. And your goverment is really corrupt.

It's a beautiful country with very varied plant and animal life.

[BronzedAdonis]

I agree on the housing costs. Luckily I'm set to inherit the house. Were the 2nd most developed country on the planet so you get what you pay for regarding living expenses.

were not prefect but by worldwide standards our Gov is a goody-too shoes

[Phoenix98]

Good for you, at least you won't have to pay an insane amount of money for a house.

not really your prices are like that because of your governments corruption but it's mainly because of the population of Australia is really small. So the prices have to go up or your economy won't flow. In order words have more babies.

Lol not once you start seeing what they are doing... seriously I will never be able to burn those pictures of people having sex with tree's out of my mind.

[BronzedAdonis]

inflation will come down eventually. What are you talking about, us having sex with trees? I'm so confused. I'm personally up for having a big brood, I rather that than opening up our boarders even more so. Trump has the right idea.

[Phoenix98]

No it's not inflation your economy has been like that for years and years. And the reason the prices are like that is due to your population people wise.

Say hello to Ecosexuals another freaky cultist like gender and sex type.

www.news.com.au/.../44797e916430b06f544e777537689471

Good we can agree on that I'm the same way, want a big family and to close the boarders.

[BronzedAdonis]

lol they're a bunch of freak, less than 1% of the pop. Nobody takes them seriously.

[BronzedAdonis]

meh, I'd rather my countries population be somewhat low than overcrowded like some 3rd world cesspool.

[Phoenix98]

Apparently someone does otherwise your government wouldn't have legalized it.

Well you get what i mean your low population count is part of why your prices are so high. but I get what your saying.

[BronzedAdonis]

somewhat inflated cost of living is the lesser evil than opening the boarder to refugees and 3rd world immigrants to boost the pop count

[Phoenix98]

True, this is true.

[Waffles731]

if that trees freaks you out, then I just can't resist showing you this article
www.cracked.com/...ere-caught-having-sex-with.html

[BronzedAdonis]

just curious, what state are you from?

[Phoenix98]

@BronzedAdonis I'm from Kansas the heartland of the USA.

@Waffles731 What is wrong with people?

[WhiteSteve]

I can honestly say every Aussie I've encountered has been cool as fuck👍 I'm sure there are dickheads like anywhere else, but I've largely found them to be very down to earth and laid back.

[Littlett25]

Never really thought of them before. Guess I would follow the stereotype with them calling people mate? Lol

Most time I thought about Australians was when @swoldishwasher had his question on the girls lol

[SwolDishWasher]

Haha yeah

[martyfellow]

I sty up late in California to chat with the Aussies that are on here. They are for one thing generally older, and have a non-infected view of most topics!

[Imafreespirit]

I love aussies! I moved to Australia 2 years ago and had an amazing experience with everyone! People tend to be quite open minded and laid back, which is cool

[TheLuckyPizzaDog]

they got mad balls, living in a place where poison fish lay around disguised as rocks, and spiders are the size of a midget horse. not to mention apparently sometimes, it snows spiders.

[Anonymous]

we're cunts.

note: i am australan. im allowed to say shit about australians. but if you're not dont you fucking dare.

[BronzedAdonis]

I'm one of you :)

[Orph__]

Lol. Happy 'Straya Day cunts!

[fay23]

They seem cool also really brave to live there with all them spiders 😖

[BronzedAdonis]

my grandmothers name is Fay

[fay23]

oh cool I don't anyone with that name, it's actually my nickname.

[BronzedAdonis]

its retro goodness for sure.

[fay23]

I agree

[Levin]

I love them, they're like Americans to Canadians in the Aussie /New Zealand relationship. Rather bold and open people, very down to Earth and 'down'.
