Asmosays...What good are points if you don't use em, self *promote !
siftbotSelf promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Saturday, January 2nd, 2016 4:18pm PST - promote requested by original submitter Asmo.
harlequinnWhat good are points if they're not true?
It was humorous though. Very good satire of Australian life as perceived by the rest of the world.
(note: some points were true, others were meant to be but were not)

StukaFoxjokingly says...HAHAAHAHAHA!!
Naw, fuck you, Australia! We love dead kids here in the US -- that's why we own so many guns! Makes us feel all self-righteous and shit when someone else's kids get blown away -- shit wouldn't happen to OUR kids because our little Billy is packing a .22 in his Star Wars lunchbox! Also, who fucking cares about cunts who kill themselves, right? SECOND AMENDMENT REPRESENT! You numb twats in the antipodes don't know that buying a Smith and Wesson makes you an AUTOMATIC CONSTITUTIONAL SCHOLAR! Fuckin'-A right! Just owning a gun makes you an instant expert on the second amendment! The BEST part about owning a gun is that you're ALWAYS RIGHT! Someone disagrees with you? SHOOT THE FUCKER -- right in the FUCKING FACE! That'll show the little fuck who knows what!
YEEEEE FUCKING HAWWWWW! Buy a GUN you pussy motherfuckers!!

Asmosays...It's playing off the belief that Australian's live daily with terrifying danger, I think it can be forgiven for being slightly inaccurate. =)

greatgooglymooglysays...I would feel so safe in Australia. Except for twice as many assault victims as us, three times the rape victims, twice the burglaries, 40% more property crime victims, twice the robbery victims, 63% more car thefts. Yea, except for that I'd feel pretty safe.

newtboyWHAT?!? I went to your link. Overall rape rate is 5% higher in Australia VS US, not 300%...and for VIOLENT rape, America has 1300% the amount Australia has. It makes no sense that they list 3 times the number of VICTIMS in Australia but 13 times the number of RAPES in America...hmmmm. Are we just raping the same people over and over?
Burglaries you have right.
Property crimes are listed as America has 13% MORE than Australia...again I don't get the 'victim' stat when compared to the number of crimes stat.
Robberies, 79% MORE in America.
Car thefts...OK, right on that one too.
But then murder...America by over 570% Gun murder (our strong suit), 15900% over Australia.
But you can use statistics to prove anything...47% of all people know that.

greatgooglymooglysays...Yes, I purposely only picked statistics that supported my side. I knew it would be obvious to anyone who took a look at the link. For example, the rape statistic I cited counted women only(why??). You have to read the fine print for all of these. A lot of those numbers seemed to contradict each other too, as you discovered. I have read many times over the years how smaller crimes that may have been deterred by personal firearm ownership has risen in Australia, and these specific statistics bear that out. I'm pretty sure the same goes for England, less gun murder, more thugs on the street.
Asmojokingly says...The reason why there aren't as many smaller crimes in the US is that the criminals are murdered young and don't get to spend the rest of their lives doing their part to bring America's numbers up.
I've also got a theory that we have so many break-in's not because of criminal intent but because people are seeking shelter from the fucking Cassowaries and are willing to go to prison to obtain it.

JustSayingI'm not going to visit either of your insane countries. I don't care if I get murdered by cops or nature, dead is dead.
Worst I have to fear here is clogging my arteries with Bratwurst.
Asmosays...Don't forget cirrhosis from washing it down with delicious beer... ; )
ps. Thanks Sift for my very first number 1. Gimme another 7 years, I might get another... /grin
