@clairlemon I'm Australian, and 44 is not a mild summer breeze. Western Sydney only gets above 40, on average 4 days per year, and the CBD once in a blue moon. Consider yourself fact checked. If you are talking Marble Bar, they would scoff at Sydneysiders saying it gets hot in Sydney.
@ShawnDevDedalus You see living somewhere and holidaying there are two massively different things. Would I want to deal with the IRS, healthcare, poor food standards, almost non existent employee protections etc., on a permanent basis, no. Same as US views of Europe, from a 2wk holiday.
@VixenRogue Ameicans and the US are perceived as two totally different things. Individually people don't have a problem, but as a bullying country, then that's another matter all together. Another thing, don't visit a country and start saying this or that is better in your own country.
@Stncoldsteve@ShaunyCeltic@barshoelife You do know the US spends more on healthcare per capita than the UK, and then 2/3 pay for private healthcare, so the majority of US residents is paying twice. That's smarts.
@BestinTesla Oh dear, you're not going to like this. Australia generates one swimming gold medal from 355k residents, compared to one for ever 1.28m US residents. I could include all swimming medals, for shits and giggles, but why knock someone, when they are already down.
@redline4586 It was created 4yrs after basketball for female participants. Clothing requirements at the time made it difficult to dribble and run, so a variation in the rules was made
@KarlLindsey7 When the 2012 Olympics were being held, and took a couple of days for Team GB to get going. The crowing on Aussie news about being ahead of Team GB on the medal table, was non stop. The velodrome rivalry is probably the biggest at the Olympics. The US doesn't get a mention.
@PunishedJoah You have to understand it's not American culture they are objecting to. Most couldn't give a flying, about US culture. That's your bed, you lie in it. Your Governments, which the US public voted for, interaction with the rest of the World, is the fundamental issue.
@Pastpassport@JRofGrunn@AwesomeBamon And no one is talking bans. Only a handful of countries Globally have banned guns, and they are mainly tiny Pacific Island nations.
@Pastpassport@JRofGrunn@AwesomeBamon It's called an amendment. Remember slavery and proabition of alcohol. Both recinded with an amendment. The Government and public are too gutless to take on the NRA, that's all it is.
@TMFOtter The US has made a rod for its own bat, and has to live with it, whether it agrees or not. There are plenty of people who don't have an issue with US, and plenty that do. Same with any country really, but is exacerbated for the US, due to its constant interfering.
@lannywarwick2 There are approx 7k gun deaths in Europe annually, compared to 40k in the US, and there are twice as many people in Europe, than the US. Fact checking yourself avoids embarassment.
