My, after reading those statistics, I really want to visit Australia again!

P.S. I'm not actually criticising Australia here, just want to make that clear. When I visited the country I liked it a lot... I'm just pointing out that Australia has its fair share of negative statistics unlike the message our Cheese Head is trying to convey!
And why do "Experimental Photographers" think that they can get into the world of photography? Even as a hobby I pity these creatures who run around with a camera (but without talent) taking happy-snappy photos of things they stumble across.


I'm proud of pictures I take
You know that just makes it worse :lol:

I was eight years old when we moved, like I had a say in the matter. Not to mention, if your country's so great, why did we come just to move back six years later? (Don't be a smart arse by answering rhetorical questions, your not doing yourself favours)
When I went to Australia it was hardly a bunch of roses, if I recall. I believe Australia features a sign like "Do not throw litter off the bridge -- $2000 fine" at every opportunity. Relaxed, eh?
By golly gosh. Your really scraping the barrel for insults, aren’t you? The signs work, and their policed helping to keep Australia clean. Not to mention very few Australians would, we actually pride ourselves in being Australian. Especially after living here.

Let me congratulate you in your ability to use a search engine. Trust me, I could make list of what’s fucked up with England without having to use google.

No, your not, you’re trying to get at me. Funny that, you’d much rather like to see me get pissed off without actually airing your personal opinion. You’re quite sad really.

I'm not going to deny that Australia has "bad statistics", because I’d be fighting a losing battle. What about your opinion, yes I barely respect you as is, but if you could at least say what you really think, instead of babbling out some dull website's statistics.

And if you don't like my photography, don't look. Got that, tweedle dum?
