Fuck Australia

Shadazz

So I walked into my room, all tired and prepared to read a book and get some sleep and saw something similiar to this..

View attachment 278

And honestly, fuck Australia. Simply because of the spiders. You can't step on them, hit them with a newspaper, or fucking burn them. That just makes them mad. Seriously, we could strap some guns on these fuckers and send them off to fight in Iraq. Fuck it, these things could invade North Korea. They're fucking indestructible. Get the soldiers out, send our monster fucking spider killbots.

Sigh. :(

Seriously though, it seems like everything in Australia can kill you.
They warned us when I visited that sometimes the crocodiles go into the ocean to get to a nearby river. Like I wasn't terrified enough of the great white sharks.

Yea so I definitely just decided I am never going there. I see a little tiny spider and I freak out. =( Girly, I know. What do you actually do about them? Do you just let them chill out until they go away, or do you get a giant ass can of raid and spray them until they die..?

If they're outside, deodorant and a lighter for a nice fireshow. To make sure the fuckers are dead. Inside, a big fucking shoe. It doesn't always work. I've hit them 5 or 6 times and they're still moving..

We have pretty big tarantulas here, but luckily they don't climb walls. That would freak me the hell out.

It does remind me of this one time I was walking into my bedroom with the lights out, but I hear this clicking. I get the light turned on and there was a Giant Desert Centipede which grow up to 8" long. So I grab a work boot that I left next to the door, the kind that weighs 5 pounds, and throw it. Naturally that just enraged the centipede and he charged at me, plus he had my boot.

It's a funnel web, they make webs in cups, jars, beer bottles that are basically a giant funnel (a small hole surrounded by webs), if you manage to get them the FUCK out of whatever they're inhabiting, this is what they do. They do that, bang their legs on the ground and charge around the room at anything that moves. The shittest part is you cant fucking Raid them for shit because the web protects them.

All spiders are poisonous. I'm pretty sure these bitches just have a mean bite like a tarantula. I don't think your skin rots off like the fucking brown recluse spiders we have here in PA.

I fucking hate these motherfuckers. Black widows suck too.

Australia is no more dangerous than the wooded areas of the Eastern U.S. We have rattlesnakes and copperheads here in PA that put a lot of snakes to shame in terms of being poisonous. I had a rattler bite the tire of my Jeep once on an off road trip. Little fucker.

Come on!? Really?!? You'd miss out on a trip to Australia for a 1 in a bazilion chance of getting bitten by a spider while there? That reminds me of my grad school p.i. He was deathly afraid of going to the beach. Not because drowning or because the ocean is big and scary. He was afraid of shark attacks. That's right, he hasn't been to the beach in 30 years because he's scared of getting attacked by a shark. He has a better chance of being struck by lightening while out for a morning stroll in his neighborhood than being eaten by Jaws.

Maybe it's the type of person I am, but I can't comprehend how people let fear dictate their lives so much.

There might be a good reason, I wasn't afraid of the ocean until I spent a week in the florida keys. I encountered six too many sharks and three too many barracudas. Every time I turned around one of them would be right up in my face, now I can't go anywhere in the deep ocean.

I dunno, sharks don't generally freak me out since I'm a shark nut. If I'd see a bullshart (or rather not see one since they like murky water), I'd shit my pants...

I have arachnophobia. It's stupid, I know. I crawl over a rock wall and go in the backdoor of my house to avoid the spiders that live in my hedge by my front door. Hopefully I will eventually get over it but it wont be any time soon. No fear is harder to overcome than an irrational fear.

As much as I hate spiders (and I DO REALLY REALLY FUCKING HATE SPIDERS!) this thread made me do a touch of research. Specifically, what animal causes the most human deaths a year.

1. Mosquito
Yes, mosquito is number one on the list of most dangerous animals. Mosquitoes in the United States are mostly harmless, so the high number of deaths that come as a result of mosquito bites are those mostly in Africa that carry diseases such as Malaria. Mosquitoes by far outrank the number 2 most dangerous animals in number of deaths, causing over 2 million deaths every year!

Yep. That's a funnel web, all right. One of THE most toxic spiders out there. Funny thing is, the venom is only deadly to primates (like humans), but most other animals can walk off the bite without too much trouble. Their fangs are about an inch long and they can bite you through a leather boot. They show up a lot in the 'most dangerous xxx' lists on the Internets, but feel free to verify any of my statements on your own. I'm not too worried they might come up here in the midwest USA, it gets too cold in the Winter to support land-dwelling arthopods of any real size.

Now, I may be wrong on this Chaz, but going back to your comment on North American snakes and gators:

I'm pretty sure Australia also has 6 of the world's 10 most venomous snakes. And Salt Water Crocodiles are much, MUCH bigger than fresh water alligators.

Really, its no wonder the British used it as a prison. How anyone survived on that island back then I have no idea.

Adults aged over 18 seeking to buy or borrow a copy of Mad Max, the acclaimed desert war drama Three Kings, starring George Clooney, the Brad Pitt classic Fight Club or the 2009 Blu Ray release of Sasha Baron Cohen's fashion parody Bruno will now find them in plain packaging displaying nothing more than the film's title.

The rule will apply to titles for sale or rent unless those titles are quarantined from all other audiovisual materials, in an area signposted with a warning.

Under changes to the state's classification act, which came into effect on Sunday, businesses will face fines of up to $5000 for displaying a \\\"poster, pamphlet or other printed material\\\" for films classified R18+.

The new law applies to general outlets containing films with classifications lower than R18+, and not adult-only premises.

Statistically the deadliest animal in Canada is the moose. Even discounting traffic collisions, more people are killed by moose than any other animal. The method of death alone should make you want to live with the spiders in Australia.

All you need to know about Aussie Spiders

Yes deaths from spiders are rare. Only because most of us are smart enough to either check out what kinda spider it is or go to hospital for treatment straight away. Tourists may not be so lucky. Huntsmans dont scare me that much. They are big enough to see. Redbacks are the scariest fucking things around. Maybe thats just because when I was a kid we lived in a fairly new devolpment that was infested with spiders. I remember I woke up one morning and had 2 of the freaks making a web above my head.

Yeah they are painful but as long as you get treatment in a timely fashion the worst case is a few days bed rest.

Oh and koalas may look all cute and cuddley but when holding them for photos they scratch you to get away and start shitting while you are holding them. They also growl like mean motherfuckers. And they are so fucking heavy. Stupid stinking things. Kangaroos are violent in the wild too. Piss one off and it can knock you out with a kick or scratch the shit out of you. Emu's are also scary things. They are really fast and if one charges you GTFO of there. They have real sharp claws and arn;t afraid to use them.

In short yeah we have a bunch of scary animals and shit but unless you are going out to the bush to see them with your own eyes then most likely you will be safe. Just go to a zoo, usually they have an australian animal petting area.

Yes but I have never seen one anywhere near here, or met anyone who has. My first moose sighting was in Saskatchewan, actually. All I was mentioning was what was actually around here. Although looking it up, moose's habitats DO extend down to Southern Ontario, I've just never known anyone who saw one here.

Yep. Have those in SC, too. I was bitten by one in college housing, on my chin. I have a nice scar that won't grow facial hair to thank a brown recluse for. Most bites don't cause necrosis, though. That's pretty rare, even for a rare spider bite, since they prefer not to bite at all.

You obviously don't think men and women are equal in some way if you think it's funny to associate weakness with being a girl or a woman. I mean, maybe you're not full on "women shouldn't be able to vote or have jobs," but expressing a sentiment like that still shows that you think men and women are unequal in some way. I'm not saying this to say "shame on you, you're a horrible person" but merely to express that they way stereotypes are used, even when joking, betray peoples' true feelings on matters like this. This also doesn't mean that I know everything about you, but there are certain things I feel I can ascertain from your, Chaz's, and Qonas's behaviors.

There are plenty of men who are afraid of spiders and women who aren't, but that didn't stop Qonas from equating being afraid of spiders with being a woman. There are also plenty of men who enjoy Glee and Lady Gaga and plenty of women who don't, but that didn't stop Qonas from equating enjoying those things with being a woman. It's little "jokes" and stereotypes like that remaining acceptable that keep men and women from being truly equal on all levels.

And here...we...go...

If you think men and women are absolutely equal, they're not, nor will they ever be. Glee is demographically targeted to a female audience. As is stuff like Twilight etc... Am I saying that men can't enjoy it too? No. The idea that men and women can be on equal footing in regards to specific gender rolls is pretty silly. It fights our very instinct. Women will always have babies and men will always compete with each other for women. Don't blame me, blame the way nature works.

No, no they don't. They really don't. I don't think blondes are stupider than any other hair colour, but I'm still perfectly capable of saying someone is having a blonde moment. Stereotypes come into being because of such things, yes, and they are often a visible part of prejudice (lazy Mexican, stealing Moroccan, Maffia Itallian, etc). But even when the prejudice is long gone, some aspects of stereotypes can persevere, without any particular ill will towards the inherent group intended. Stereotypes help order things, and can make things easier for people. They're also easy for jokes and the like.

To take another tack, according to modern psychological research, women ARE (mildly) more likely to have irrational phobias or fears, and it's genetically determined. Women are also (slightly) better at estimating risks with many unknowns - it's just one more of the many small differences between men and women. We're not exactly the same, but that doesn't mean we're not equals.

In the end those differences will always ensure a different approach of one gender towards the other.

Thank you. To put it another way. I think that my wife and my male friends should socially be on equal terms. But if I were to act towards my wife on teh same equal terms that I do with my male friends, we'd be heading for a divorce real quick. For instance, in a situation where say a another man makes physical threats towards my wife, I would step in and defend her. In the same situation, I'd let my friend take care of business himself unless he was in trouble.

Uh, this is true, especially in physically demanding jobs. Not many women can make the cut for Special Ops training and compete with their male classmates. Not that some don't, mind you, but the ratio is definitely skewed towards the male side. Men are wired for competition and combat, women are wired for making and taking care of babies.

Okay, did you gloss over the part where I said "if the girl was more qualified than the next 5 fellows"? I'm not saying I want police officers that can't restrain a suspect in the name of equality. I am saying that if a woman is qualified, she should have an equal shot at a job even if it's traditionally held by a man. And I think it's harder for them to get that equal shot IF people believe the stereotypes about women. So that's why I 'rage' and 'white knight' against people even passing them off as a joke.

My experience as a preschool teacher gave me a different perspective on the bug thing. I had the same number of squeamish girls and squeamish boys when it came to bugs. But I did notice that the girls were more likely to be TOLD that they shouldnt touch bugs or snakes because they are germy or whatever.

I don't think it is some genetic predisposition as much as environmentally ingrained.

Also wtf does rearing babies have to do with liking Glee? Seriously. I do not know a single female who likes that show but I know quite a few guys. And by saying that those guys are acting in a "female" way is ignoring the possibility that maybe the preconceived gender notion of what is or is not a proper way for someone to behave by gender is incorrect. Instead people choose to ignore that possibility and just say that the men are acting contrary to their genetic gender when in fact the decision of what traits fit the genetic gender are societally constructed and highly subjective.

Exactly. Bingo. Now, if there's this pervasive attitude that women are callow universally, I'm fairly certain it would be harder for women to get some sort of job where bravery or daring is a pre-requisite. Even if they're incredibly more brave and qualified than the next 5 fellows.[/QUOTE]

Uh, this is true, especially in physically demanding jobs. Not many women can make the cut for Special Ops training and compete with their male classmates. Not that some don't, mind you, but the ratio is definitely skewed towards the male side. Men are wired for competition and combat, women are wired for making and taking care of babies.[/QUOTE]

Okay, did you gloss over the part where I said "if the girl was more qualified than the next 5 fellows"? I'm not saying I want police officers that can't restrain a suspect in the name of equality. I am saying that if a woman is qualified, she should have an equal shot at a job even if it's traditionally held by a man. And I think it's harder for them to get that equal shot IF people believe the stereotypes about women. So that's why I 'rage' and 'white knight' against people even passing them off as a joke.[/QUOTE]

Oh it works in reverse too. How many stories have you heard where a qualified male was passed up for a job because the less qualified woman had a nice ass.

My experience as a preschool teacher gave me a different perspective on the bug thing. I had the same number of squeamish girls and squeamish boys when it came to bugs. But I did notice that the girls were more likely to be TOLD that they shouldnt touch bugs or snakes because they are germy or whatever.

I don't think it is some genetic predisposition as much as environmentally ingrained.

Also wtf does rearing babies have to do with liking Glee? Seriously. I do not know a single female who likes that show but I know quite a few guys. And by saying that those guys are acting in a "female" way is ignoring the possibility that maybe the preconceived gender notion of what is or is not a proper way for someone to behave by gender is incorrect. Instead people choose to ignore that possibility and just say that the men are acting contrary to their genetic gender when in fact the decision of what traits fit the genetic gender are societally constructed and highly subjective.

I have an English friend who's of Indian descent, and he tells me to call him Brown man or the Brown Shark. I don't know how low that rates on the PC scale, but there you go.

He is most definitely zany. He's brown man, he affectionately calls his girlfriend "Melonhead," and occasionally I'm the foolish American who mispronounces garage.

:laugh: He thinks is sounds sexy. I keep assuring him that it does not. When I asked him once if "brown man" or "brown _____" really doesn't bother him, he said something like, "I'm just being literal." *shrug*

Sounds like a euphemism for what happens after bingeing at Taco Bell.

If you want really black people, go to India. They've got REAL black people there.
