      I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but that post is just ignorant.

      Australia is an amazing country and there is nothing the US does better, for it’s people, than Australia.

        Nothing is a bit extreme. How about a bill of rights? How about choice in how to pay for things rather than be forced to use the banking system at a cost? How about housing costs ? How about investing in their own country?

        there are many positives on both sides of the water

        there is no reason to have a competition about it

          Housing costs may be lower but affordability is on par.

          Especially in places that are a bit progressive.

          They have fuck all job security. Medicare tied to employment and such a corrupt political system, that makes Australian politicians look like saints.

          No doubt we’re not perfect but we’re way ahead of the yanks where at looking out for our own.

      Congratulations, this might be one of the most pathetic things I’ve read in quite some time. The only good thing about Murica is some of their national parks.

      you’re generalising . I don’t have much national pride, but I have very little interest america either. I enjoy some of your old television shows and some indie music, but nothing I listen to anymore. eastern europe has much more interesting music and plenty of us love lots of aussie music. you’re talking about our boomers. i agree a lot of mainstream aussies are fucking basic though. I’d be denied existence and access to life saving medical care in a lot of states now too so fuck that.
