    While sharing no land borders definitely influences politics and ways of thinking here, people don't really think of Australia as an island in day to day life in the same way people from somewhere like the UK or Japan would.

    Definitely more mainlanders. Island would be places like Tasmania or Kangaroo Island.

    That sounds a bit too on the nose :chris:
    But then I also saw Emu Bay nearby, so clearly there's some PTSD going on :(

    Not really, they are just animals here, no different than if you had a deer island or bear island.

    Platypus Peninsula is the actual odd one. But we keep that low key.

    Sigh. Emu Bay. PTSD. You know, the war. This one:



    You lost a war to emus. I mean, at least a cassowary is a vicious killer. But emus? That’s just an uppity lunch. You know, like getting your ass kicked by a cucumber sandwich.

    Neither of them is a convicted felon, so by Republican Speaker of the House standards, they're both doing pretty well.

    I'm annoyed that they didn't include examples of Kannada (based out of Karnataka, the southern green state) or of Tamil in Tamil Nadu, the dark blue state :brood:
    Neither use the Devanagari script like Hindu, Marathi, Bengali, or Assamese use (which excuses the omission of Punjabi).
    I'm curious what the light blue languages are; I think the one in south Jharkhand/northeast Odisha is Orrisa.

    if we gave a shit about his sorry ass, wouldn't we have already done that for him? If one of my friends was a crazy alcoholic prone to listening to ideas Joe Rogan, the guy from Fear Factor, and doing what he said while drinking himself retarded, I would have already seen him post shit that would causde me to call for a welfare check.

    Sure, he's literally incorrect. But consider the spirit of his message.

    Well, we're not dead yet.

    And Al Gore still would have been a better president than Bush.

    Hell, I could've pumped Al Gore full of LSD and mescalin, and make him trip so hard he thinks his own poop is steak-umms, and eats it, and he'd still be better than Bush.
    And you know it, deep down, in your marrow.

    You defend the Electoral College. If it weren't for the EC, Gore would have won in 2000. Therefore, by defending the EC, you're defending Bush. :bergman:

    No, it's not enough to be passively anti-Bush.
    You have to kiss a picture or sculpture of Al Gore on the mouth.
