And I was born here, and live here now, and have resided in both the cities he named. Who you going to believe?

Of course, you could just look at a map to see that both are coastal cities.

Outside of a cyclone in the '70's, Darwin doesn't really have much in the way of problems, and is, in fact, one of my favotire cities in Australia.

As I said, I can back up my claim about Adelaide and Darwin being right on the coast with any map of Australia.

As to his assertions about problems in Darwin, I'm not sure what he implying. That is why I asked for clarification.

*shrug* do they have a mongoose overpopulaton problem or something?

or just the general strife that happens when people who don't like each other have to live in a close geological area?

You know, Australia is almost never in the news... perhaps they've got the world under their thumb...

well, they are never in MY news, but i don't even watch american news, and i live here. so the chances of something happening over there and me hearing about it over here, are pretty slim.

Depends on what you define as "American News" You've got a couple of choices: MSNBC (Rich people news) FOX News (Right-wing mouthpiece news) CNN (Gov't Propaganda) and Network News (Left-wing Heartstring News)


Just ask Ted Turner... He practically owns American Media...

Personally, I'm just getting a kick out of Fortune defending his entire continent. ;)

Err... Ruski, Politically Incorrect was cancelled like... a year ago. He's got a new one on HBO called "Real Time, with Bill Maher." Same ol' jokes though. Some of em are funny. Others, not...

LOL Yea i vote.
and the most awsome part of that is, that my vote counts for exactly the same as someone who actually researches everything and has an opinion.

SO you are celebratig the fact that you are making an un-informed choice that effects the entire globe? Now I have no illusions about how much my vote counts, but I do try to make an educated judgement.
