What was your source, by the way? The snipped list was full of punctuation, so it
was obviously from somewhere other than yourself; which is why I ask. I would expect
Britain, and many other wealthier, larger nations to have proportionately larger
quantities of invention - which they do. However, in answer to your idiotic
question: "What Australia invention", you have been provided with a thorough reply.

Australians born in Australia are indigenous, born elsewhere are certificated.
If you want to argue over where Mum, Dad, Pop, Nan, etc were born then you are a
nationalist and or racist.
Either way we are still related, being all descendants of Adam and Eve ;-)

Clear off back to the UK Pommie Bastard you sad little man.
They were probably pleased to see the back of you when you left though. I guess you spent your previous time in the UK moaning how bad life was there too.
You really are a sad individual who needs to get a life.

Hi guys, I am of the opinion that there are always two sides to a story. How can we
debate on an issue without having any real opposition ? As an Australian I find it
sad and scary that so many people would prefer to hear only good things about
Australia....pretending the bad things dont exist doesnt make them go away, only
makes you ignorant. Its true, most Australians are not that bothered about anything
outside of Aussie, fact is though, the world is getting smaller, and this xenophobic
attitude will only make Australia go backwards. Face it, Australia is not the best
place to live on the planet, it is just another place, and it has good points and bad
points like everywhere. We cant make the bad things go away by surrounding ourselves
with people who will only agree with our own opinions....that is not progress....its
stagnation. A discussion is based on two different points of view, and the answer
lies in the middle....! As an Australian I value the points of others, and i am under
no illusion about the state of this country, unfortunatly, the same cannot be said
for everyone.
now lets have some real discussion......
thanx Pam.

Why are you on an emigration site for poms if you are Australian.? That doesnt seem very much fun for you- unless of course you derice some kind of sick pleasure in upsetting people who at this stage of the game only have their dreams and hopes. Anyway- if you hate it so much why dont you f*** off to UK- I am sure that you will find plenty of miserable bastards here to listen to your stores.....Yawn. Please everyone dont give this insane boy the satisfaction of a relpy (asi have done) and then perhaps he may shut up and crawl back into his tiny hole.
