Re: There's nothing worse than being an Australian!

Take it from one who lives in the Southern Hemisphere -- it is Hell, Hell on earth.

The Good Lord knew what He was doing when He nicknamed Australia "Down Under"! As for New Zealand, it is so insignificant it doesn't even warrant a nickname; a pimple on the backside of Australia.

I see your point that Australia's weather could be seen as similar to 'Hell'. It was very hot when I visited and I must say that the faith was certainly lacking - taking it from one who lives there I'm sure you would have a better opinion. However I don't think God mentioned Australia in the Bible or in fact in any holy text - and to so viciously condemn a country as a pimple is not particularly constructive. Why would NZ be considered a pimple?

Because New Zealanders are considered unsightly irritants by Australians; and Australians are considered boorish yobos by Godly Americans. That is the natural order of things.

Re: There's nothing worse than being an Australian!

OK...I'm kind of sick of being told that warning people away from porn or AGREEING with them is 'debating', so I've given up to an extent, HOWEVER as Australia is my birth country, I am here merely to state fact, not to debate or criticize. I am sorry if it comes across that way, I truly don't mean it and I hope you'll forgive me if it does. Continuing:

The youtube clip - and I'm not even sure how that made its way to youtube - is an ad. It just uses Aussie humour - which is pretty much mocking ourselves - to get a point across. It's funny to mock ourselves because in ye olde days everyone else did ...anyway, a barbie is a BBQ. The seven points on each star represent the seven states/territories and the Southern Cross is pretty much the most recognizable constellation in the sky. It even has two guiding stars pointing to it and sailors used it to navigate a course through the seas. Also, it is normally on its side (from where I live, at least).
As for the weather, it's not actually that hot over here, and when it is, the rain pours down straight afterwards. No kangaroos run around our backyards, the trees are green, and everything is far from desolate. That's all I have to say. Think how you think and feel as you feel but I love my country for all it is, good and bad

Did you know that Jesus never once went to Australia. I'm glad I don't live in a nasty heathen country that has never been blessed by our Lord and Saviour.

Jesus was the very first True Christian(tm) American.
He certainly wasn't an Austr-alien.

Re: There's nothing worse than being an Australian!

are you implying thst jesus visted america?
and america wasn't even a coutry then.

Re: There's nothing worse than being an Australian!

I think they're not referring to Jesus actually litterally visiting America (physically), but to his spirit being united in the larger number of believers in the US of A.

'cause he certainly didn't literally visit America. He was born in Israel, and at the time they still thought the earth was flat and they certainly didn't know that America even existed, because America was discovered by Columbus in 1492 (if you don't count the vikings that visited earlier but weren't believed upon returning to their home country)

Just because Godly USA wasn't on a map doesn't mean it didn't exist.
Of course, Jesus knew it was there because after all, God Created it.

Re: There's nothing worse than being an Australian!

You got a valid point there, but knowing that it's there and actually visiting it are two different things. It would have been a very long trip by boat, taking years with technology at the time. Don't you think that if he went there, there would be a mention of it in the bible?
