Anyway, why bother going to Sydney when Melbourne is by far a superior city?
I've always wanted to go to Perth.
The riots wouldn't scare us.
What is scary is if the natives won't fight back against the jehadis, letting them rule the streets and burn cars at will. It is dangerous to be among cowards.
I will never, ever go to France, or knowingly buy a French product, for any reason.
I have always wanted to visit Australia, and if finances permitted, I would purposely go within the next few weeks.
Alas, thats my own personal problem, and all I can currently send is moral support, and my vow to buy Australian, instead of California wines.
I consider Australian wines a wiser use of my limited discretionary budget.
Australia woudl greatly increase tourism if they permitted visitors to operate wrecking balls and bulldozers at the hundreds of mosques in the country.
My sentiments exactly. They likely scared them in France because the people couldn't contain it. Seems like it ran out of steam on its own accord there. In Australia they raised the BS flag BIGTIME.
I hope by now the Aussies have started to ship those Muslims back to Lebanon in cardboard boxes.
Right on! It's also why those that are taken over often deserve it.
Or allow moose hunting.
That's the place! Having been in the W.A. Lobster importing business, that was my destination...beautiful, clean, relatively crime free (most isolated major city in the world..where are the bad guys gonna run to?) - but topping the list is the friendliness of the locals.
I'll never forget Australia Day 1998...I'd gotten in around 2:30pm and the Duxton Hotel had held me a Swan river-side room so this sole Americanese traveler could watch the fireworks in style.
I'd feel more secure on that beach than I would in Washington, DC.
We don't have THAT many mosques in Australia. Dozens, yes - but nowhere near "Hundreds".
Dasher -- when I visited Australia, I quickly became aware of the Sydney-Melbourne rivalry (although it seems to be a much bigger deal in Melbourne than in Sydney.) In any event, I'd advise any American to visit both of them and as much of Australia as you can. What a beautiful country, and what wonderful hospitable people (who can stick the needle in you and have you liking it.) I stayed in St. Kilda when I was in your neck of the woods. But I loved every minute of my trip (except for the few seconds I spent trying vegemite.)
I agree. I would only be "scared" if the Australians were NOT fighting back.
probably still too many. could be lucrative - supply and demand, you know...
I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed visiting us. I've never met anyone who didn't enjoy coming here - particularly Melbourne!
Can't understand why you didn't like Vegemite, though...
Don't worry, Speedy - some of us Aussies don't like vegemite either.
Why would these riots scare Americans? I would love to visit Australia. Even more so now.
