I'm an Australian...and I don't vote!

[Teddy_Salad]

I haven't voted anywhere in twelve years.

Left Australia in 1992, lived in Britain for four years, couldn't vote there.....and have been here since and I cannot vote here.

I'm seriously considering becoming a fully-fledged American so maybe that will change in the future.

I hope so.

I miss being able to pull a lever! :P

[Djinn]

1. so why not vote in Australian elections then?

presumably you're still an Australian citizen - that means you just need to go to an Australian embassy with your ID

[Teddy_Salad]

2. Apparently not

I've been away from Australia too long and am not permitted to vote in Australian elections.

[Djinn]

44. If you travelled for work reasons you still can

and we could really use the help in getting rid of the "arselicker"

[texas1928]

3. Become an American

We will throw a party for you.

[Teddy_Salad]

4. OK. Done!

I'll do anything for a party.

Heck, I'd even move to Texas!! :evilgrin:

[texas1928]

6. Come on Down, we'll clean out the north 40 for you

and we won't make fun of the way you talk.

[Spinzonner]

7. What makes you think Texas is part of America

It's a Facist republic

We will be changing the Constitution so they can be expelled.

It'd be nice to give them back to Mexico but like they wouldnt want them either.

[Teddy_Salad]

8. Oh, I dunno

Texas has provided the US with some great things.

Like.............

and...................

See. It's not all that bad. :evilgrin:

[Champ]

9. One thing...

The Red Raiders!! :bounce:

[texas1928]

11. God Spare me

You had to go there. I can't stand the raiders.

[Champ]

12. What???

How can you not like them?

[texas1928]

14. Because of this

[texas1928]

13. Must be a Yankee

[fudge stripe cookays]

21. Respectfully

go do the unmentionable to yourself.

You were not at our convention this weekend to see the great stuff happening this year, and I'm sick and tired of seeing these bullshit posts about this state. They're hateful, they're nasty, and they completely belittle those of us down here who are busting our asses trying to change things.

If you can't anything nice, don't say anything at all.

Teddy, we'd love for you to move here. To prove spinzonner wrong.

[texas1928]

23. Where do you live in Texas?

I want to know so I never make you mad.

[fudge stripe cookays]

36. Rowlett, near the Metroplex.

My husband will tell you the same thing. Don't make cookay mad.

;-)

[texas1928]

41. I lived up in the Metroplex for two years

Going to college at UTA.

[Spinzonner]

29. There just arent enough of you to make it worth saving

You know, sometimes you need to cut off a limb to save the body.

Y'all just be Collateral Damage - principle product of the Bush Misadministration.

[Spinzonner]

30. Oh yeah and ...

lighten up.

I'm from Kahlifonia. Talk about verbal abuse and getting no respect ...

[texas1928]

31. Well your state voted for Ahnuld

How messed up is that?

[fudge stripe cookays]

34. No, I won't.

California has a well-deserved reputation as aliberal haven. Schwarzenegger in all his idiocy cannot destroy that during one administration.

I don't care where you live. You've just been welcomed to my ignore list.

[Champ]

5. Yeah!

I'll bring BBQ :9

[belladonna]

10. And I'll bring the salad dressing

:bounce:

[texas1928]

15. What no margaritas?

[belladonna]

25. There are ALWAYS margaritas

But the dressing is for me... :evilgrin:

[texas1928]

26. Oh my god

She pulled herself away from Six Feet Under

[Donkeyboy75]

16. Yeah, I guess you have to be literate to vote.

Drongo.

[Teddy_Salad]

17. Ahhh....ya flamin' galah!

Go stone the crows ya dickhead! :evilgrin:

[GregW]

19. Fair dinkum, Teddy!

You'd have to be a stubby short of a bloody six pack not to vote!

Next question is ... are you a banana bender, sand groper, crow eater, or something else?

[Teddy_Salad]

22. Sandgroper, mate

A born and bred West Aussie.

:hi:

[texas1928]

24. What the hell is a sandgroper?

I am Interested, what does that mean?

[Teddy_Salad]

33. Western Australians are called Sandgropers

Western Australia, Australia's largest state, is virtually all desert, hence the name, Sandgroper.

And no, no such animal exists.

And FYI, South Australians are nicknamed Croweaters and Queenslanders Banana Benders.

[texas1928]

35. oh I thought that was just a euphemism

For a... oh nevermind.

[Donkeyboy75]

20. Aussie slang cracks me up.

Some clever shit going on there. :thumbsup:

[noahmijo]

18. Yo Aussie brother

You can skip Texas and come down to Az (we're not as right wing as Texas) I always have an extra bed for a fellow Yankee fan! B-)

[Teddy_Salad]

28. Ya got a deal there mate!

Always wanted to go to Arizona.

Especially during winters here in NY. :hi:

[m-jean03]

27. "Pull a lever"?

Is this a euphemism? :D

[Teddy_Salad]

32. Oh m-jean03...get ya mind outta the gutter for chrissakes!

Yes, you are right.

It was a euphemism. :evilgrin:

[m-jean03]

37. Well, then, you can do that anytime.

You don't need to vote. :D

Boy, take a look at this thread. Afire!

We love Aussies..yes we do...

[Teddy_Salad]

38. But I'm sick of pulling my Australian lever

I wanna pull one here in the states! :evilgrin:

[belladonna]

39. Hey you, c'mere

I'll show ya how we pull levers here in the States.... watch closely :evilgrin:

[UTUSN]

40. But Aussies Were With Me In Vietnam

and you would vote for KERRY if you could.

[Teddy_Salad]

42. Damn right there!

I only wish I could.

[UTUSN]
