Title: When did Australia go from outback tough to cringing serfs?
Post by: Manedwolf on February 20, 2007, 09:34:01 AM
Seriously.

They ban guns.

They ban video games.

They ban their own flag at sporting events.

And now a California-style complete and total ban on incandescent lightbulbs, nationwide, by a few years from now.

When did "Crocodile Dundee's" knife get taken away and replaced with a weakly held legal document, and when did the population become such utter p*ssies in the face of ultra-leftist domination?

For that matter, when did that happen to us?   sad

"It was three against a thousand!  The battle raged all day, and far into the night....we had to step on the dead bodies to continue fighting.  When the ammunition ran out for both sides, it was 'Fix Bayonets' and cold steel, until, with broken blades, we made our last stand with hand-to-hand combat.  When it was over, our gaze swept the bloody littered battlefield, and we all, to man, agreed that they may have been rebellious foreign wogs, but still...


...they were quite the three toughest chaps we'd run into since sailing from England!"

Consider that most of Australia's population 20 million does not live in the outback but, is concentrated in the large cities (about 13 million live in cities of at least one million people)

Consider further that they killed the real Crocodile Dundee. Apparently he was a methedrine crazed lunatic at the time though.

They killed Horrie the Wog Dog too, those bastards!  angry

Along those lines - imagine your dusty, weathered, nail-chewing, cowboy from the far southeastern corner of California. He represents California as a whole as well as the 'outback tough' stereotype represents Australia.

Nail-chewing? A nervous cowboy?

A county-level map of who Californians voted for in the last Presidential election shows mostly red.

I visited a gun shop in Darwin, NT this summer

The top end is a bit different.

Don't be silly guys. There are a lotta lotta rednecks in California.

Don't forget how much farming we do.

Seriously
exactly my question too.
afraid of our own shadows.
The western world is too protected for it's own good.
we worry about little crap and fail to focue on the big stuff.
