Australian Accents

Who else wants an Aussie accent? If you do tell us why and what you think of them. Nick will fly me and a few others in a private jet to his city!!!


In all honesty, does anyone else think Australia would be a cool place to live? I'm so tired of America!!! Lemme in!!!
 
I used to... but not any more.

Not since I found out they have spiders there big enough to eat a BIRD:

Besides, I'd be terrified of the drop bears!

Accent is cool though! :thumbsup
 
Those drop bears can be pretty bad though... I'm not even sure Nick would tangle with one and we all know how scrappy he is!

Greater is He who is in thee though... greater than drop bears at least! :yes
 
You have to be careful of drop bears. I consider myself drop bear expert though. Unfortunately, I'm not in the private jet business. But I heard Mike say that he can get people onto First Class. :D
 
Australian accent is close to British accent and it's not tongue-twisting like American accent... :drool. :drool

I'm not sure of that connection. Looking at history, religion, even Christianity had been used to justify all kinds of wars and atrocities. I'm not saying that religion causes war and violence, but let's not be fooled into thinking that religion causes peace either.

Here are some facts and figures, from the CIA.
United States
Population: 313,847,465
Percentage of population with affiliated religion "none": 4%

Australia
Population: 22,015,576
Percentage of population with affiliated religion "none": 18:7%

My rought estimate in the actual number of athiests puts the US on 15 million and Australia on about 1 million. (rough rounded estimate)

So even though the US has almost a quarter less of its population athiests than Australia, in terms of actual numbers, the US has more athiests by 15x.

Let's take a look at the homicide rates, per 100,000.
The global average is 7.6 in 2004, according to the Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence and Development, 2004.
Australia 1.16 (2010, http://www.ausstats.abs.gov.au/auss...8BCDCF9DCA2578B700119690/$File/45100_2010.pdf, page 12, Australian Buero of Statistics)
US 4.8 (2010, http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2010/crime-in-the-u.s.-2010/tables/10tbl01.xls, FBI)
 
BTW, it was not my intetion to turn a light-hearted thread into something more serious. But I think it was important to make my point.
 
Wow! Wonderful analysis. (Looks like a political manipulation of figures.) I'm not saying it's wrong.


The problem is, many people visit and leave the States more often. Are those based on typical Americans, i.e. resident Americans?


In spite of that, US has more NO of religious people (not just born again Christians) than Australia.

How is it political manipulation of figres? I have simply stated statistics and the conclusions are logical and obvious. Check out my sources, which are very reliable - CIA, FBI, ABS, Geneva.

It would depend on the figures used. Some may only be for permenant residents, others, like the homicide rates would be for everyone who commited homicide in that country. Not that it matters - you claimed that the US is safer than Australia. I presented homicide figures that seem to say otherwise. In this case, it does not matter how many people enter and leave the US or Australia.

What are you saying here?

But I digress.

I mean it is easier to live a christian life in USA than in Australia.

I saw the links, I'm not saying they are wrong (just that the figure seems a political one).

Although America is drifting away from Christianity, it has not completely drifted away.

less people smoke less people die from murders. We have a few deadly critter things around but you never see them.

We have more cuddly cute nice creatures than those. Everywhere you go is trees and wildlife :)



The cities where most of us live only have a few venomous spiders etc they struggle to live in urban areas. its only living near bush reserves they are more common. i never heard of anyone dying from a bite in my whole life, well nobody I have known or known of.

Nobody has guns except farmers.

That's the deadliest thing on the face of the earth is a gun controlled by a human.


I always marvel when people comment on our bitey critters. Il take my chances with those any day they are predictable and usually more scared of you than you are of them.

I was patting a big non venomous orb spider at the wildlife park a few weeks ago ona night expedition. If it moved, my finger was so moving too...

I was blinding it with the torch. I love our fauna.



we have the best beaches


Don't worry bout the atheists they are just potential Christians.

I am unsure, I have never been to the US. Have you been to Australia? And lived here?

What do you mean? This is just data collected.

Although America is drifting away from Christianity, it has not completely drifted away.

Nor has Australia.

Both Australia and America is becoming more and more of Sodom and Gomorrah. God should be merciful to delay His judgement for the sins committed on these lands.
