australia is under a left wing government, so, yes, we are stupid.

As for me, i'm 18, at uni and drink at pubs and clubs to socialize, never been drunk enough to vomit! and still get action on the dance floor!
 
I love The Veronicas, and they are from Australia. :) I am so going to their concert on June 30th. :D
To be fair their appeal isn't really their intelligence.

It's their music ;).
 
she was a SL** and from new zealand
The thread title proof just keeps coming.

edit: for people who are lost a famous australian rugby league player who is married and with children instigated group sex with a teenager whilst on tour in NZ. Because she allegedly consented it was all her fault and she should have kept her mouth shut and she's a SL** :rolleyes:. Many australian sporting fans (quoted poster in point) honestly believe their idol did nothing wrong and it's a travesty he lost his "comedy" commentary job......

He's a slut. Nobody seems to care though.

Your contribution to society is to be commended. Why, I's have to find a crack whore in a trailer park to approach your impact on the common good.
 
...never been drunk enough to vomit and still get action on the dance floor!
My first thought was "I don't know anyone who could vomit and still get action on the dance floor, drunk or not."

Then I thought, if you just meant that you get action on the dance floor, you're a lot less self conscious than I am. I'd feel awkward with everyone watching, and the floor might be a bit uncomfortable, which is why the most I've done is just dance on one.

i'll give you that one
 
Aussies are not stupid. They're just laid back and easy going. And they have cool accents. My dad's Australian, and I was almost raised there. Almost.

Anyone who says Australians are dumb just suffers from clinical Accent Envy.

But for the rest of the story, this happened in 2002 and only now has she decided to make a big deal out of it. Apparently her former boss heard her bragging about it for a few days afterwards, about how she "f***ed some football players". I don't agree with what they did though, definitely not. I hate footballers, period. They seem to think they can get away with whatever they want. If it was a normal person they'd be called druggies or rapists or whatever, but because Ben Cousins had a drug problem and is now back playing football everyone seems to think he's a massive hero. I know I've said it before in this topic, but I'm ashamed to be Australian, for the most part they are totally idiotic and I don't want to be associated with that. At all...

Technically I should be envious of myself then :p

Time has nothing to do with it. Psychological problems relating to a damaging incident can persist lifelong. Time should not enter into the equation whatsoever and does not excuse the behaviour of the rugby league players one iota. And I'll think you'll find that the "big deal" was derived from the media and the community.

This was an unverified report originally by a tabloid newspaper (a) owned by a media conglomerate with a lot of money invested in rugby league, and (b) made by a hotel boss that makes a lot of money from travelling rugby league teams. One should be careful with what they read. Media watch did a great episode on this whole incident last week which is available for download from their website.
