True. I didn't know he was Australian. I thought he was talking about the US which would hardly qualify as 'least corrupt'.Hobbes' Choice wrote:vegetariantaxidermy wrote:96 to 97 percent voter turnout? I find that hard to believe. And how do you know it's the 'least corrupt'?Ginkgo wrote:

It's illegal to NOT VOTE in Australia.

Albeit with French, Spanish and Dutch money, the French Navy and their Artillery and all those ex-British redcoats. Still all credit to your Minutemen as they were certainly good and threatening and bullying civilians, much like your NRA loving gun yahoos who'll be doing just the same thing if you ever get the fascist government you and they so desire.Bob's rants get more weird as time passes. what does this even mean?bobevenson wrote:That coming from somebody who lives under the most tyrannical regime in the entire world, one that sends an armada to protect an island it considers to be its property a million miles away!

It wasn't yours to improve or otherwise. If you lent your neighbour something and they returned it broken, how would you feel?bobevenson wrote: We improved it immeasurably.
American English changes with the times while British English stagnates (no offense, of course, to the KJV book of Revelation).Harbal wrote:It wasn't yours to improve or otherwise.
