I love these stories:

Because, like, putting a couple of tiny .22 calibre holes in plasterboard is

I'm thinking he knew exactly what was going on but needed an excuse for shooting his wife.

Might be that american creed at work: if all else fails, or if it confuses you - shoot it.

What I really wanna know now is if he's now enjoying watching his satellite TV or not?

Or-

Get his name and number, and ring him up, telemarketer style, as an antenna installer business...

Sadly yes, the septics do tend to have a real thing over the carrying use of weapons. This right to bear arms is really a croc almost as their idolatry of the flag .

Strange cattle "some" of those yanks

Luckily he missed the banjo sitting on the porch.

Don't think they have banjos in america??

Yeah, the flag 'thing' over there is something I find genuinely disturbing, seriously. It sounds like an exaggeration, but its a bizarre blend of quasi-fascism/imperialism, the way they have the flag everywhere. Spooky.

I'm not sure what the message is that they're trying to convey? If a country is so great and wonderful - it'll be self-evident, would it not? So why do they continually need to reassure themselves (or others) of that 'fact'? Are they that insecure, or what are they trying to prove

- and to whom?

Mind you, I've noticed its starting to happen here as well in the past couple of years.

Insecurity causes that.

I find it amazingly ironic that the Chinese made flags were out in full force this last Australia and all the while our cultural identity is shifting more and more towards Americanisation.

Whenever I see a flag like that, either in someone's front yard or draped over some yob's shoulders, I just think they've got no clue what it means to be Australian, rather, to save thinking about it, they've just imported some sad, empty US version of "patriotism", which in itself is a questionable ideal (and reality).

Australia Day this year - there were f*****ts tooling around the Illawarra with flags approx. 6ftx4ft strapped to CB antennas or to pipes strapped to their bullbars... Whats the bet the cops never pulled them over either?

Other mongoloids in old Commodores with similar sized flags but with the passenger waving it out the window.

This seemed to have started (from what I can tell) last year - but really took off this year.

Not to mention shitloads of more sensible sized flags of course - far more than in previous years. Many of these boneheads still have them on their cars to this day... these are probably the same idiots who kept their giant plastic red nose on the grille until the U.V light did it's thing.

Agreed. If you're proud - great, DO something constructive instead of trying to prove it with shallow motives.

S*it, that takes me back.

Whatever happened to those things?

Andy.

They're all dead now? I'd say its just a case of everyone got compassion fatigue for this particular cause and moved onto other more fashionable causes.

You've obviously conducted surveys and studied this very closely :)

How do you *know* this?

FFS Noddy, open your eyes and ears.

Jesus :)

You blokes need to let go of your wangs for a few minutes so a bit of blood can get through to the end :)
