With your logic, I could say that you're only saying that because you're Australian.

Your women are high on my list of generic types of women who I would be superfically interested in.

Therefore, I hold you in high regard, as I do with the Indians, the Japanese, and the Southerners of the United States, among others.

That water is a fabrication created by the kangaroos.

Even if it does exist, I'd love to see how long one would last in the epicenter of Australia with a canteen filled to the brim with the stuff.

Aboriginal Australians.

Your argument is invalid.
Proud member of Ankh Mauta.

I asked my hippy friends for help. Well! You’d think I asked for a kidney. They kept bringing up the fact that I was using GM seeds. Eventually they all got together and said, “Max… we can’t help you any more. We want to. But you brought these problems on yourself. And the thing is, when you ask for help, you’re actually asking us to use our skills and knowledge to prop up a corporatized product that’s not just practically inferior to the free alternative you ignored, but actually bad for the world. We just can’t do that.”

And that was how I taught them to stop asking me for help with Windows. ~Max Barry

The aborigines can survive in the Australian sun living off of salty sea water?

Must be a tough bunch, yet malleable enough for the kangaroos to manipulate.

But being friends with Sibirsky can have its effects.

Is there actually a communist political party in Australia that's just not very well known at all.
Like in the Netherlands there's a communist party but nobody knows it exists except for a bunch of people from Friesland.


He hasn't convinced me yet. Though I don't call myself a communist.

Besides, Sibirsky doesn't have friends. He has business partners. :p

The Communist Party is very weak here btw. Dunno if they even run lower house candidates anymore.

Yeah, I looked up the communist party of Australia. It's still incredibly awkward to see Australian communists. It's almost as awkward as seeing Dutch communists.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_water
Kalaspia-Shimarata's flag represents the Union between K&S. The dark blue represents the sea and the light blue represents the sky. In Kalashi language considers light blue and dark blue to be different colours. England colonised, and unified K&S, between 1774 and 1953, and English, light blue and dark blue are considered to be the same colour. Therefore, the contrast between dark blue and light blue represents the union, but the differences between K&S where as blue being two but simultaneously one colour represents K&S being two, but simultaniously one entity. The opposite to the symmetry represents the unity and indipendance of K&S, whilst also representing the Kalashi culture of opposite symmetry.KS is 75% Christian, hence the cross.

The only reason they survived the Communist Purges of '02 was because of their AK-47 knock-offs made of Eucalyptus and stolen booze, with armor-piercing bullets made of kangaroo excrement polished to a shine and given a point.

Also, you can boil sea-water with a mirror in the middle of the desert to filter it, or else a couple of sticks and tinder, or some various other methods involving animal guts from memory.

I don´t know to much about "down under", but they´re listed as one of the countries having worlds highest living standards (same as my homecountry), a fair democratic government and a stable economy; plus, there are some road-trains and thousand-mile-rides through the outbacks waiting for me (professional truck-driver); I guess, it would be not the worst country for me to live in (which doesn´t mean I really want to emigrate)... ;)
