In scale of deadliness it goes: Drop bear, spider, south eastern aquatic wombats, koalas (the drops bear's cousin) then the platypus and sugar gliders.
Juliaaaa, you poor, uneducated little thing. For your future safety, I hereby quote Wikipedia on how to avoid Drop Bear attacks.
"Various methods suggested to deter drop bear attacks include placing forks in the hair, having Vegemite or toothpaste spread behind the ears or in the armpits, urinating on oneself, and only speaking English in an Australian accent."
I just read all those comments, and I have to say, NONE of you have Australian accents. Everyone of those posts was read in my same boring american accent.
Tara, we do have methods of protection against drop bears. As mentioned above.
I have a question to put to you guys, though, is it possible NOT to have ANY accent at all? Cause I'm Australian, and I don't have an Aussie accent... or any other type of accent that I'm aware of... Is the South Australian accent the lack of an accent?
It's not weird but it's just like slightly different. All the way down from QLD to NWS and Canberra sound pretty much the same but as it moves over it sound pretty much the same but ever so slightly different. Idk how else to describe it
I actually considered moving to Canada, since I'm American and grew up in Spain. I've been told they aren't too appreciative of Americans which is really sad :c
As a first generation American with close ties to my Canadian relatives, I can tell you this is false. Canadians tend to think we're a bunch of idiots, yeah, but like with anyone else they treat us with respect.
Sometimes I get mad at people bashing America... Then I remember that im not from America and I have a totally different culture so I ignore them, I understand you froglet.
Americans are honestly so chill. They don't care about being Americans. People get so hype about being where their from. They also get pretty hype with the American bashing. I'm just letting you know, don't waste your breath. The Americans don't care .
No discrimination? try traveling through Quebec as an American. I have had a pizza delivery guy drop the pizza at my feet and turn around and walk away as soon as I paid. Wouldn't say single word to me. The only places my presence was acknowledged where at the cash registers when I was pulling money out of my wallet.
*Yawn* Tell that to your Native Canadians and see how they feel about that. Canada is no better than any other country. Every nation has their pros and cons.
other countries all ways try to make us seem like we are worse. You dont how frustrating and upsetting it is for an american to always see other people trying to say "we're better than you", or, " here is why your country sucks". you all hate us but we don't hate you back.
no racism or discrimination of any kind: is just one of the reasons why I want to live in Canada... and the only reason I don't want to live there is the WINTER >.<
I was in Canada for 5 days. It's a nice country and all, most people are friendly, it's very pretty but believe me after day 3 I was wanting to be back in the U.S. It's a nice place to visit though really.
the healthcare quality is poor in Canada and in america doctors actually make money and the quality and technology is they worlds best , here 20 states have gay marriage, weed is legal in 2 states and soon a district to be, and abortion is legal here eventhough many of us know it is pure and obvious murder. AND we have the death penalty because we believe in sending homicidal maniacs a message that we will kill you back. And Canadians, we are you're main protectorate militarywise.
So it's okay to kill an unwanted baby cause *quote* it is pure and obvious murder...yet you rave about also having the death penalty? Is that not also pure and obvious murder?!
Also...you haven't had racism for over 50 years?? Are you fucking blind..or stupid? I'm just gonna mention Michael Brown and go now before your stupidity rubs off on me....
Well, I mean with the abortion situation you have to realize a lot of people who are pro abortion are thinking about the child's life. Why do you think the person would be getting an abortion, any reason you can think of would basically be that they weren't fit to bring a child into the world and nobody should suffer a tragic life because of the mistakes of their parents.
Oh my god how cute you think us Americans actually have freedom. Also Europe has freedom too they have their own bill or rights if you will. America is not the only "first world" country you idiot. And your not changing anyone's minds about Americans by being a literal American stereotype, jackass.
And don't give the sugar gliders ideas.
