hey this is a bit off topic, but i thought it would be interesting none the less.
So, Why do you love you country, the aim of this thread is to give one reason why your country is the country of choice, plus give if you want to some little tid bit of info about your country, some unknown fact or something.
I'll kick things off shall i?
Well i love Australia because of its politics. Australians as a rule will almost always show absolutely no respect to politicians if in the publics eyes, the politician is a complete asshat. In some ways this could be considered a bad thing by many people, after all, arent our leaders there to be respected and revered?
Well in a sense yes, but i love the fact that Australians wont let anyone get away with anything, no matter how important they are. If someone high up the food chain starts acting like a drongo, expect to see the crap ripped out of them by the media, public, celebrities and anyone else you can think of. its truly a thing to see sometimes.
of course sometimes it is taken a bit too far, but basically I love the fact that Australians aren't intimidated by Authority, and if your acting like a complete a-hole, they will tell you.
If anyone has watched 'the chaser's war on everything', you'll understand what i mean
ABC TV: The Chaser's War on Everything - Video
and as for a bit of a miscellaneous fact, when an explorer was traveling across Australia for 'supposedly' one of the first times ever, he came across an Aborigine in the bush. When they walked over to each other, the Aborigine knelt down on the ground and drew the sign for the 'Free Masons' in the dirt
how weird is that!
