Are Australians...

Aliantha • Oct 17, 2006 10:25 pm
...more perverted than other western countries? If so, why do you think so. If not, who is?
JayMcGee • Oct 17, 2006 10:28 pm
Que?

you lot have the choice of sheep, koala's and 'roos (tie me kangaroo down, sport, was not so much a song as a plea from the heart)....

no contest....
Aliantha • Oct 17, 2006 10:30 pm
lol...well we've got Rolf Harris (the old pervert) to thank for that one!

:) exactly. A BIG PENAL colony, right, mate? I mean, let's face it, it's REALLY BIG, Australia is.

Penal, or penile?:)

I don't think "perverted" is the right term. More like "uninhibited". And that's way better than many American's "sex is only for procreation and shouldn't feel good" attitude. :drool:

I wouldn't kick one out of bed for eating crackers!
Undertoad • Oct 18, 2006 10:18 am
Aussies, I was under the impression that you have full frontal nudity on TV and legalized prostitution in some/most cities?

Ozzies are my favorite drinking buddies...

Since Oz has one of the highest leisure time levels for a developed nation -- idleness is the Devil's Playground!

:sniff: I'm so proud. Our Aussie members just had their first Aussie poll. And it was so...*Australian*.
Flint • Oct 18, 2006 1:15 pm
Aussies remind me of Texans. Tough, pragmatic, dry sense of humor, worst habits are drinking and cussing too much.

Uhuh, my school friends wealthy hubbie just bought her a *brothel* to play with, its sooooo much fun.

We also just had a *fetish* club open up a few months ago, this in a town with 60k population. So, 2 brothels and a fetish club.

The national radio network says bitch, bastard, shit, bloody, pissed etc any time day or nite and we dont bleep fuck out of movies on TV.

I chuckle when I listen to the American Top 40 on Sunday nites and they play radio edited versions of songs which have whore and bitch bleeped up, when ours are *normally* not.

I'd go with perverted in my instance, but I do work at a place where they will flick M&Ms down my cleavage from 10 paces and we talk about things like anal sex and toys at lunch break.

Its a law suit waiting to happen :worried:

That's true UT. ;) In fact, some brothels even offer fuel discounts if you go to them instead of their opposition. :D

We don't cuss, we fucken swear mate. As to drinking...well, it's not a party till someone passes out in the garden and someone else starts worshipping the porcelain god. (and that's during the lunch break where we discuss anal sex and other 'so called' perverted sexual acts) ;)
Buddug • Oct 18, 2006 8:50 pm
I like Australians except when they are trying to be posh .
Buddug • Oct 18, 2006 8:52 pm
..so stop pretending to be posh , Aliantha .
Aliantha • Oct 18, 2006 8:58 pm
lol...ok...although I'm not sure when i was posh. Actually...on second thoughts. Why don't you just go get a mullet up ya? ;)
Buddug • Oct 18, 2006 9:01 pm
It's fun to be a wombat and burrow underground
It's fun to be a wombat and hide and not be found .
Aliantha • Oct 18, 2006 9:04 pm
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
Buddug • Oct 18, 2006 9:11 pm
A stolen and bleeding land
That welcomes strangers
From all over the world
But who cannot deal
With Walkabout People
Aliantha • Oct 18, 2006 9:13 pm
Do you actually want to discuss the issue or continue with the veiled remarks?
Buddug • Oct 18, 2006 9:15 pm
You see the discussion behind the veils . This is good .
Aliantha • Oct 18, 2006 9:17 pm
Don't make the mistake of thinking that Australians are stupid just because they're 'perverted'.
Buddug • Oct 18, 2006 9:21 pm
I beg your pardon ?
Aliantha • Oct 18, 2006 9:23 pm
Well, you seemed surprised that I understood what you were on about, so rather than take offence at your condescension I thought it would be more productive to caution you before your attitude gets you in trouble.
Buddug • Oct 18, 2006 9:43 pm
Thank you , for I was afraid .
busterb • Oct 18, 2006 9:54 pm
I had a dream of immigrating downunder back in the mid 60s, But my dumb redneck wife wouldn't get that far away from daddy. Have worked w/lot of folks from there and NZ. Some have even been here and gave me a call or came by. One I'll always remember was really named Rex Buglehole, not sure about the spelling, but that's what we called him. Great guy. This's Rex standing on pipe. Never did know what his job was? Guess just looking, tourist? but on payroll?
Aliantha • Oct 18, 2006 9:58 pm
wow...that looks like an old pic buster. Somewhere up north by the looks of the landscape.
busterb • Oct 18, 2006 10:07 pm
Sumatra, 1977 maybe.
Aliantha • Oct 18, 2006 10:09 pm
Well that's way up north then. lol
Buddug • Oct 18, 2006 10:25 pm
I spent a great part of my childhood in Papua New Guinea . When our family went out there , P.N.G. was a trust territory of Australia . P.N.G. became independent in 1975 , but because we arrived in 1972 , we had the right to Australian citizenship ( along with being British). My parents did not see the need to have Aussie nationality . We were not immigrants , we were expats . I did all my primary school in New Guinea , with the Australian syllabus . When I was sent to boarding school in the U.K. , they put me in the class above my age .
All the white people around me in P.N.G. were Australian . I feel close to them , but different . I'm a Pom after all .
