Ahhh good to know. I read somewhere that Australia is the land of choice for retirees from all around the world. I remember seeing 'Hostel' just before I went to europe a couple of years back (not the best idea, I know). But I just shrugged it off as one of tarantino's absurd and fictitious...

Religion is a deliberate imposture devised by some cunning man for political ends. I find it pretty amusing how there is nothing to support the claims of the Bible, except the Bible itself.... as is the way of all religions. Eventually, I believe, creationism will be denounced. As were the...

Lol I couldn't stop laughing at this post. And alcohol doesn't cause damage?? But yeah, the funniest part was- I know this is :topic:but in regards to the god perspective- 'Good men do good things, and bad men do bad things. But for good men to do bad things, that takes religion'. But yeah, I...

Dreama...some other factors to take into perspective. Abortion will never, and I repeat, never become illegal. Why? because if you take away that right, then you are virtually slapping women's rights on face. I admire your moral standpoint and view on the value of life, but matter of the fact...

For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.

shhhh... we don't want to scare these american kids away. But i've probably done opposite the intended effect- ppl reading this thread probably will run to their nearest vid shop and grab a copy of wolf creek.... :doh: Too few europeans or americans come to australia- which is why we probably...

Hehe well I remember one time when I was on a train back home from sydney, and I was surrounded by some american teenage backpackers who would jump around like crazy whenever we spotted a kangaroo. Indeed, we do have some of the most venomous snakes in the world, but bites are VERY rare... its...

Hey, I was looking through a couple of travelling threads before, and I couldn't help but notice that a lot of americans were keen on travelling to Australia (where im from). Just out of curiosity, what interests you (if you intend on travelling there) so much about Australia??

Sorry, as much as I try to see the benefits of deafness... I have to be honest with myself and say no to this one. Why? Put simply- if you had to choose between deafness and normal hearing, I think its fairly obvious people would go for the latter. Do not get me wrong though, I am proud of who...

Sorry, but I have to disagree. I see myself as culturally deaf, but do not use sign-language (because I have a cochlear implant), do not have any connection to the deaf community- simply because I live in a relatively remote area. I also accept that I have a disability (otherwise i'd be lying if...

As defined by the Google Web Dictionary- 'people who have severe hearing impairments'. That I agree with. I think that people who have minimal hearing loss cannot define themselves as 'deaf', simply because they do not suffer from the severe restrictions of total or near-deafness. They could...
