I was in Orlando Florida in the early 2010’s for a work trip, there was about 35 or so of us Aussies and a lot more Americans, one morning I missed the bus the other Aussies were on so stepped into one of the other buses, behind me was a young American guy and an older bloke sat down next to him and the first words out of the old guys mouth was Hi I am … and i am the pastor of “insert church name” what church do you go to? Well I thought to myself, THAT is not a conversation you would hear at home! Yeah Toto we are not in country Queensland anymore!.
I've had Mormons (seemed like they were both ~20) come to my door, I had a respectful convo with them about my love of science and the universe for about five mins
@@DaveOz-mx5oh My grandfather would always invite them in for morning or afternoon tea (scones, cakes and a cuppa, all fresh made in a wood oven) and discuss their brand of religion out on the veranda of the farmhouse (Pa had about 6 square miles of some of the best farming land in Oz). I was going to say argue, but he wasn't the arguing type. Just calm discussion and someone different to talk to, other than the locals. I've got to give to the Mormons and JWs for the travel they do. Their indoctrination is nice, but sad too. Enough said.
Darion, these people are God Botherers as my Sarg in the Army called them...... Mormons or JW's that knock at your door to tell you what you're doing wrong in your life..... not exactly welcomed in Straya...... we kind of go with the theory that if we want God we know where to find him so you don't need to bring him to my front door when I'm chillin...... so their opinions are from that angle. And if you take that into consideration then they're lucky they survived 😂😂😂😂😂
I wouldn't say we're 'uptight' about religion. We just don't shove our beliefs down everyone's throats. When I lived in the US it made me very uncomfortable the way religion was a constant 'companion' to every damned thing that was going on...and frankly it seemed forced. It also seemed like a crutch....anything that goes wrong you blame God or whatever deity you abdicated responsibility for your life to. Drove me nuts! As for our First Nation citizens. We aren't trying to force them into anything, but we do want them treated equally, socially, financially and politically. In the cities the disparity isn't so noticeable, but in the Center it used to be that way. On the whole though, I don't notice the problem anywhere near as bad now as it was 40 or 50 years ago. Re the Roos. I get Wallabies and Roos on the treeline at the back of my property at sundown. They are there, but they aren't dumb enough to go into populated areas. As to 'dangerous' wildlife. I would say the US has more dangerous wildlife. Moose, Cougars, Wolves, Bears, Snakes. These things can seriously mess you up. Our stuff only strikes out if you deliberately invade their space. That's how I see it at least.
"The Aboriginals" is like saying "The North Americans" referring to all the native people from all of North America, the native people from northern Canada are very different from the native people in Panama, so likewise the native people from different areas of Australia are different and have different wishes, treating them all the same is what got Australia into the mess it's in currently.
50/50...it is getting a bit stale so he should start the big Lez show and all the variations or educate himself on some crazy rare negative events in Australia that he's probably never heard of..such as "the burke street massacre","Lindt cafe siege"," port Arthur massacre",the controversial"Australian army war crimes in Iraq"Ben Robert smith"who from what I know growing up was Australia's ideal perfect soldier,
Every Sunday, l give sausages, bread, and tomato sauce to the homeless aboriginal people. It is hard for them to make a start. I also bought them blankets, etc, as they had nothing 😢

Answering the door in the nude is usually to chase away religious zealots who want to talk to you about Jesus
and yet the 1st chick felt more comfortable lol

I'm Australian, I'd rather front up to a snake that was trying to avoid me than a bear that was trying to eat me.
all these guys are missionary's. We dont tolerate them when they talk religion, other than that, all is good
Aussies don't go on about religion because we're a secular society.

Hey Neil give us a break and stop regurgitating old videos that you have already reacted too. Stop treating us as fools.
