How many MAGA supporters were included in the population sample?

There is no evidence to support the claim conservatives have higher IQ's. But then, you constantly post without checking your facts anyway. Now who does that remind me of?

MS supports Trump too. I guess that puts him in the low IQ bogan camp as well.

The Prime Minister is twice as smart as you. He's earning $600,000 a year, what are you getting for posting BS here?

I can afford to live there, but it would be unbearably dull. You're correct though, I could not afford a GF 23 years younger than me there.

The average Australian IQ is 99. The US is 98. Trump supporters are 3-4 points lower. Our population is 26 million. 74 million voted for Trump in 2019. We can't balance it out, we are outnumbered 3:1 by the stupids.

I was. One year if married, two years if de facto.

AFAIK the important difference is the assets brought into the marriage. If I have 20 million baht in assets, and the Thai I marry has none, that 20 million is still mine when we divorce. It's only assets accumulated during the marriage which are split 50:50. There's child maintenance, fair enough. I don't know if there is alimony. I do know palimony doesn't exist, because defacto relationships are not recognised here.

If one checks Thai family law, IMO it is far more sensible on how assets are divided.

More like frothing at the mouth.

Given they can take half our assets after one year of living with us, yes.

I couldn't get a woman in Australia who (a) was 23 years younger than me (b) never had a headache ( c) would cut my toenails for me.

IIRC your cars are cheaper.

Life expectancy already covered. 40% of your population are obese, another 30% are overweight. Your average murder rate is 7.5 persons per 100,000. Ours is 2. Your death rate from COVID was/is 4 times ours. You train your schoolkids to hide under their desks if there is an intruder. We have never done that, and the last incident ( kidnapping ) was 50 years ago. You pay about 4 times as much for private health insurance as we do. Your incidence of mass shootings is rising. Our last one was almost 30 years ago. Every time you have a mass shooting, gun sales go up. You might have to pay thousands of dollars for drugs, just to keep you alive. Ours cost AUD 7.50 per prescription. Enough said?

I understand. You don't like comparisons which illustrate how screwed up America is.

Perhaps Americans should consider having a comedian as their President. Zelensky seems to have grown into his job as leader beyond the wildest expectations. Ronald Reagan was quite good at comedy too.

Not saying they are, just how their policies would be viewed by the average Australian.

Agreed, that is happening already. I don't see what sharing borders has to do with life expectancy, though.

We appear to be better at a lot of things than the USA, which only serves to demonstrate the stupidity of your post. Example: Your average life expectancy is 77.5 years. Ours is is 83.9 years. Care to explain that?

I'm afraid as an American, you don't really know what extreme left and right is. In Australia, the Democrats would be considered a tad right of centre. Your Republicans would be close to fascists. We have corruption in Australia as well, but nothing comes close to what you have. No-one in Australia needs a billion dollars to become Prime Minister.

Analytical chemists, and corrosion engineers.

If you are not prepared to put a stop to her eating them, I guess another option you have is to start eating them yourself. I can remember some good advice from a foreman, in my first job as a trainee. I had to take samples of fatty acids in the tallow splitting plant, which stank to high heaven. The foreman saw me struggling not to retch. He told me to come in the next day, without having any breakfast. Walk into the plant, and take half a dozen deep breaths, You'll be OK after that. He was right, while I could still smell the odor, it never bothered me again.

I have been an invited speaker at several American conferences, with funding provided for my travel by the organizers. Presumably, I was invited because Americans thought they could learn something from an Australian. Do you always lead with your chin?

Trump's concern for the environment was clearly delineated when he appointed an oil industry executive as his Secretary for the Environment.
