capriccioso 2,545 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 I'm serious.That population figure is growing at a scary rate, 1 person every 90 seconds. That's nearly 1000 new people a day.Anything more than 20 million is unsustainable. At current rate we'll hit 25 million by 2017, a whopping 25% higher than is sustainable. As residents of the Shire say, "Fuck off, we're full". We could do with the old folk dying off though, they will soon be bleeding us dry with aged care investment etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccioso 2,545 Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Australia are so good at sports, better than Great Britain blah blah fucking blahYeah fuck off, where are your gold medals? Or are you planning on stealing them, convict cunts. Little known fact, as England is competing as the UK, we have decided to follow their lead and are competing as 'AusZealandia', benefitting us by 3 gold medals and a few silver/bronzes, and elevating us into the upper placings. Silver is the new gold . We're due for a gold medal soon, courtesy of me, in this, the most prestigious of events, anyway:http://forum.talkche..._18#entry477834Also you're hosting the Olympics, you're supposed to do well. Ever wonder why Melbourne 1956 and Sydney 2000 are among Australia's best ever Olympics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Spike said. Aside from heroic military engagements that were necessary (like the Kokoda Track campaign where we had to hold back the Japanese or be invaded), there's not a lot to shout about. I'm not going to include wank ups like Gallipoli or the Boer War, that we first of all shouldn't have been involved in and second of all shouldn't have been slaughtered in if any thought was put into the operation prior to British generals saying "These colonials, lets bring them into the fight as well, eh?".

He had some distant cousins/friends that joined the Indische Freiwilligen-Legion or the Battaglione Azad Hindoustan that were executed/imprisoned for treason/being Nazi collaborators after the war, though.

And another that was a POW of the Japanese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,887 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I had relatives from WW2 and surprisingly only 1 of them died (that I know of), my great granddad somehow lived after being captured by the Germans and eventually escaping. Somewhere I have his helmet and its got a massive whole in it where a bullet obviously was shot into it.... also have his paybook and medals. Ebay time?

Spike 12,049 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I had relatives that died in WW1 and 2, in fact somewhere I have his war helmet..... sounds disgusting but I am not lying... also have his paybook and medals. Ebay time?No, would you want your relatives to pawn your things after death? Either donate it to a museum or keep it in the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebay time?Why would you sell that? It would revolt me to sell any personal artefact belonging to an ancestor unless I had to do it to survive, in which case I would still regret it all my life.
