The 'guys lurving the girls'-thread

[J-ROC]

Easy boys, don't need a "how cultured are you" pissing contest.

[Grundy]

No harm done, it was just a friendly cultural-slanging-match...  

But we all know Australia 0wnZ!

One day, not long ago, Boudreaux was fish'n down by de bayou when he run outta night crawlers. He was 'bout to leave when he seed a snake wit a toad frog in hits mouth. Now Boudreaux he knowed dem big bass fish like toad frogs, so he decided to steal that froggie. Trouble was dat snake be a cotton mouth water moccasin; he'd have to be real careful like or he'd git bit.

Boudreaux snuk up behind the snake and grabbed him round the haid. That ole snake di'nt like dis one bit. He commemced to squirm'n and wrapped hitself around Boudreaux's arm try'n to get free, but Boudreaux, him had a real good grip. He pried dat snake's mouth open and got de frog and dropped it in his bait can. Now, Boudreaux he knows cain't let go of de snake or hit's goin' ta bite him good.

Hit's all right, dat smart Boudreaux him had a plan. He reached into the back pocket of'n his bib over-hauls and pulls out a pint o' moonshine likker and pours a couple of draps inta the snake's mouth.

Dat snake's eyeballs roll back in hits head and hits body go limp! Wit dat Boudreaux toss's dat snake inta da crick and goes back tuh fish'n.

A while later Boudreau dun feel sumptin tapp'n on his barefoot toe. He slowly look down. Would you believe it? Dere be dat water mocassin, but dis time he gat two toad frogs in his mouth!

Come visit me sometime LN!

Come visit me sometime LN!  

Oddly, Australia is one of the few nations that I'd care to visit. The Americas and Australia, are probably the only places that I'd consider staying at, for more than a week.

That I'd like to go over an ocean to get there, says something about how great it is.

[Grundy]

I edited my post So I don't offend anyone...


And, I would love to visit some of the more 'natural' areas of the US, the mountains, deserts, alaska... etc...
( And yeah, I've been to Hawaii too. )

[Louisiana Night]

Arkansas, "The Natural State".

[Grundy]

If you ever do make it down here, don't visit Canberra, my city. It's the capitol of Australia, but there's not much here.

In summer, it's too hot, in winter it's too cold, and it's usually dry, desolate and boring! LOL!

Ofcourse, goto Sydney, Melbourne and visit the other greener areas and the deserts...  

[Louisiana Night]

Sydney is the only place you named, that I know anything about. Like I said on another thread, I'm not much of a tourist. If I decided to go somewhere over the ocean, I'd probably want to stay there for a while. In other words, I'd probably get a job over there. Which causes another interesting problem, taxes.

[Grundy]

Taxes are pretty reasonable here.
And you can get a working visa pretty quickly if you want to get a job here.

I just did my tax return yesterday actually!
( The financial year is over. )

I will be getting just over $1000 back! WOO!

I love tax return time...  

[Louisiana Night]

That's not what I meant. I wouldn't know who to pay taxes to. I'm guessing both, but I wouldn't know how much to give each.

Like I said, I've never been outside the Southern US. So the taxes confuse me.

P.S. I wonder what the new thread's going to be called.

[Grundy]

You pay taxes to the US government for money you earn in the US, and you pay taxes to the Aussie gov. for money you would earn here, unless you skip back to the US before tax time comes...  
( Employers here take out tax automatically, so if anything, you will get tax BACK if you only work here for a few months of so. )

[Jeysie]

I'm not disagreeing with you, just posting my opinion on the subject. I've never been outside the Southern US(very different from the average, though I think most people would say that about where they live also), so my view of the US is limited.

I agree, most people would say that about their part of the US, because it's true. Each region/state of the US has its own unique culture... heck, even different parts of a *single* state have different cultures. ("Upstate" NY vs. NYC, Western MA vs. Eastern MA, I've heard Western and Eastern WA are very different, etc.)

By culture, I was just saying we(Americans) have very different cultures.

I think it's a matter of... there isn't really any distinct *US* culture as a whole... rather we're an odd hodge-podge of many different cultures.

Employment. Almost anyone that wants a job can get one, where I'm from(Arklatex?).

Wish I could say that about New England... the job market sucks up here.

Peace & Luv, Liz

You know, I'm a little worried as to WHAT exactly CC's co-workers are basing their "adorable" statement on.

Me, talking/writing about you, and some photographs I 'snatched' from the ugly mug-thread.

The Germans especially have no idea of the concept of 'Non-Smoking'.
It's absolutely painful, you can't breathe at all!  


Think about it, only about 5-10% of aussies smoke now... and we are one of the most healthy countries in the world regarding cigarettes.
Now, Germany, 60% of teenagers alone smoke!  

Ahem, excuse me, but the EU does not consist of Germany alone, there's actually 24 other countries besides them and I can testify that our air is not polluted by smokers.

I am well aware of that, I was born in england, have returned many times. I've also spent a lot of time on mainland Europe.
I was just using Germany as an extreme example of liberal smoking laws.

And yes, your air isn't Polluted my smokers, but it's an annoyance and health risk to anyone else who's in the vecinity.
Actually, one thing I noticed about europe was the huge layer of smog always hanging in the sky.  
About 1% of that would be smokers, well, maybe even .01%...  but still, it was noticeable, the ammount of smokers there.

Otherwise, I'm not trying to overly criticise Europe, on the contrary! I loved it!
My favourite place was Interlaken in Switzerland. I went paragliding through the alps, walking over mountains... great fun!
And the cute little French villiages, Annecy was gorgeous, and Lyon, though large, was a great city!

[Louisiana Night]

I agree, most people would say that about their part of the US, because it's true. Each region/state of the US has its own unique culture...

In Louisiana, descendents of the French-Canadians live in the south, descendents of the British(England, Ireland, Scotland, I don't know about Wales) live up north. So Louisiana has two extremely different  cultures.
