The Australia Thread - General

[QUOTE=teeheeV2;25757229]Did you go to questacon or whatever the fuck the building with that slide is called? [editline]31st October 2010[/editline] I don't get the point of induction days. I got paid to sit and learn about common sense. The only things that really showed me anything was the 2 minute walk around the shop, and the discount card talk.[/QUOTE] yeah that place was pretty awesome. the canberra camp is probably the best camp you'll go to throughout school. after year 6, all the school camps are fucking shit where you have to sleep in tents or rooms with nothing but bunk beds.

Is anyone from Holbrook or Albury? or live nearby. 4 weeks ago the rain bloody stranded you guys, better use that sub you guys have in the center of town.

i remember going to questacon in year 6 and then we had to make a diorama of something we saw there, so i drew a door on a cardboard box and wrote 'questacon' on it

Lol. We just went and went on rides and shit. I remember there being an earthquake house. Was awesome.

[QUOTE=BuDSpOoNce;25743566]i don't know what the fuck political parties are, what democrats and republicans are, or anything else regarding politics. [/QUOTE] stop watching so much hollywood. our two party preferred coalition consists of Liberal and Labor parties

Nor Wodonga. Holbrook, however...

[QUOTE=MuTAnT;25758200]What the fuck is Questacon? Ok I had to google it, looks pretty dull. Please describe how your first bitch fight went.[/QUOTE] The end part was awesome in year 7

[QUOTE=Weird_Bartender;25759270]stop watching so much hollywood. our two party preferred coalition consists of Liberal and Labor parties[/QUOTE] yeah, i know fuck all about politics.

Now that the topic has moved onto politics, we should get Noth and Superwaffles in here so we can have a nice Labor-Liberal debate.

I'll perform a warm up: The Labor Party is a puppet dancing on the strings of anti-leadership unions, which will grind Australia's economy into the dirt. Only the Liberal Party has any sense to manage Australia's vast industries.

I'll fill in the apathetic centrist role

Personally I don't like either group that much but since I am very left leaning and Labor is closer to my views than Liberal, I prefer them in a two party system. They have all the same stupid political bullshit of Liberal but at least I'm not voting for something that I completely disagree with.

I wish the Liberal Party would actually put their policies out - I'm not really aware of them, unlike Labor's (e.g. NBN, mining tax, etc.)

Stop the boats, stop the spending, more Police, build more Schools, pretty basic stuff. The Police and Schools seem to be pretty self explanatory but conflict a bit with not spending. As for the boats, what I heard of Abbots plan either violated UN asylum seeker laws or was the same as the Labor plan except they had to ship them to an island much further away for processing. Apparently they can swim the distance if we put them on an island too close by.

Discussing politics is dull

Let's talk about goon again.

That's over, we've talked enough about goon

Also, we're not talking about goon again. 12451385315 times was enough.

No more goon talk for 7 pages

i still got half a sack of goon left

shut the hell up

[QUOTE=BuDSpOoNce;25759811]yeah, i know fuck all about politics.[/QUOTE] maybe if you learned about it you would discover that its a hilarious drama show [editline]31st October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Dr_Funk;25759904]I'll perform a warm up: The Labor Party is a puppet dancing on the strings of anti-leadership unions, which will grind Australia's economy into the dirt.

I went to canberra in year 6 but it was by far not the best. A kid came down with chicken pox while on the trip and every single bus ride all the retard kids insisted on playing the same song - lets get it started. More like lets get retarded. Anyway, went to jindabyne and the snow in year 11, which was fucking amazing. Best trip I've ever had.

[QUOTE=BuDSpOoNce;25743566]agreed. in year 6 when we had to learn heaps on politics and even had to visit canberra, i found it so boring that i virtually blocked out any information regarding politics to enter my head. i know [I]nothing[/I] about politics today, i don't know what the fuck political parties are, what democrats and republicans are, or anything else regarding politics. and i'm okay with this, because i don't give a fuck. u mad?[/QUOTE] I'm Australian and don't know anything about the American parties either. :I [editline]31st October 2010[/editline] I remember in year 6 going to Sci-tech. We got to build a contraption. I made a big retarded game boy colour [editline]31st October 2010[/editline] Would of been revolutionary
