  1. Ask Sheryl by PM.
  2. The only way to deal with a bully is to hit back twice as hard. TBH, I can't think of a single American product I either want or need.
  3. It is. There was a natural balance of predator and prey. Dingoes hunt to survive. Wild dogs hunt in packs, for the thrill of killing. You think Labradors are nice cuddly creatures? They are the absolute worst in the wild, with a flock of sheep. Every station owner or hunter will shoot them on sight.
  4. 33% of the Australian population is of British origin. The British introduced foxes, cats, rabbits, and dogs. Three of which are predators in the wild. The loss of mammals in Australia is not due to convicts, who had nothing but the clothes on their backs. It's caused by the stupid upper-crust tw@ts who ruled over them.
  5. The general kangaroo population is quite stable. Tree kangaroos are endangered due to loss of habitat. Wolves in Britain died out in the 1800's. I guess they were not cuddly enough for you guys.
  6. Banderites are only a fraction of the resistance movements that grew in Ukraine during WWII. It still does not explain how a supposedly nazi regime has a Jewish president.
  7. CBD oil and THC does nothing for me.
  8. Canada has oil sands and shale. The oil sands are Canada's most prolific source of oil. America has shale. Weaning America off oil is like taking a baby's pacifier.
  9. Emus are generally a protected species in Australia, although there may be some culling in areas where they damage crops. Emu burgers are very tasty. There was a program to try to eradicate them in WA, using the army in 1932. It was a dismal failure for several reasons. It became known as the Emu War. Given it was led by an obviously British Major Gwynydd Purves Wynne-Aubrey Meredith, hardly surprising. Completely agree with your second para. That little turd put Australia into a war despite his own intelligence service saying there were no weapons of mass destruction, just to suck up to Bush.
  10. I never would have known without your sage advice. No stealthing? You are a good boy, but how do you know the LB is?
  11. Does the OP have secrets he keeps from his wife? As long as he has no legal obligation, I don't see why he needs advice.
  12. More likely to attract doctors. LB's are one of the chief reservoirs of HIV in Thailand.
  13. Canada supplies 50% of America's oil. All the electricity for the north-eastern corridor, including New York. What have you been smoking?
  14. I don't see why Muslims should have special laws. That's discrimination. I especially don't see why any religion should get taxpayer funds to school children to believe in something whose existence cannot be proved. IMO that is child abuse.
  15. Rabbits are too good at digging. Americans drove the bison to near extinction. They succeeded with the passenger pigeon.
  16. I have already explained the breeding pattern of kangaroos. Feral cats are an introduced species, like rabbits, foxes, camels and pigs. If you are too lazy to read what I have already posted, there's no point in responding further. Goodbye.
  17. Not in Australia. Americans are getting what they voted for. So are we. I have been to the US many times. I have no need to go there again.
  18. I assumed you were American. OK, there are other nationalities who are equally ignorant. Rabbits are an introduced species, released by bone-head Brits as food for the foxes they brought in, so they could enjoy hunting. As Oscar Wilde said, the unspeakable in pursuit of the inedible. It's estimated rabbits cost the Australian pastoral industry $206 million per year, in terms of pasture competition, and land degradation. When one sees a rabbit warren covering 40 acres, it's easy to understand why. You need to keep up. Calcivirus replaced myxomatosis for rabbit control almost 30 years ago. Feral cats can grow to twice the size of a domestic cat. I've shot a couple, they will kill anything, even new-born lambs. Australia is a harsh country, with harsh choices made by those living on the land. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
  19. I think you'll find sensible people will be avoiding the USA, as a paranoid, hate-ridden s##thole. Expect the US tourist industry to have slim pickings. just another example of the Law of Unintended Consequences. Boycotts don't only apply to exports.
  20. Demonstrating your ignorance yet again. 1080 baiting targets pigs, foxes, dingoes, feral cats, and wild dogs. Kangaroos are not a target species. They are vegetarian. Now go and sob a little over the lamb or veal you are eating. Talk about a double standard.
  21. In business, Trump stiffed contractors, went bankrupt multiple times. He thinks that business model will work in international trade as well. His tariffs are not a barrier to assist American industry. Who pays the tariff? Not the country exporting to the US. It's the American consumer. Tariffs are a tax. They hit the poor and middle class hardest. MAGA's simply don't understand how they are being screwed.
  22. All of it is used for pet food. 99% of kangaroos are shot by professional shooters who are expert marksmen. That's just as humane as being herded into an abbattoir.
  23. Ukraine is not nazi. That's a canard put out by the Kremlin propaganda machine, after Ukraine briefly collaborated with the Nazis back in WWII. Ukrainians soon found out the Germans were no better than the Russians. Please explain how a nazi regime is headed by a Jewish President. Any apartheid results from Stalin migrating Russians into eastern Ukraine after he killed about 6 million Ukrainians in the Holodomor, genocide by mass starvation.
  24. The village idiot aka influencer took a young wombat from its mother for a photo op. I'll bet when you tuck into your lamb chops, steak, or pork, you don't think you are sponsoring murder. Explain the difference to me. No, I don't mean kangaroo leather, which is no more durable than pigskin or cowhide. I mean kangaroo fur, which is the most dense of any. The supreme test of any blade for sharpness is whether it can shave kangaroo fur. I have no convict ancestry. As an Aussie, I am happy to educate toffee-nosed prats who don't seem to realize the British Empire faded into history after WWII.
  25. Your post demonstrates you know nothing about Australia, a common occurrence with Americans. Kangaroos and wallabies compete for pasture and water with sheep and cattle. They also damage fences. They are capable of suspending gestation for years during droughts. When the drought breaks, their populations explode. No risk of them becoming extinct. Culled kangaroos are not wasted. They go into pet food. Kangaroo fur is the most durable in the world. OTOH, the northern hairy-nosed wombat is critically endangered, and the southern version is at risk. I doubt your airhead influencer knew that. Or you, for that matter.
