The accusation was 'racist' and that she believed some of the sexual harrasmen accusers of Biden. Apparently the former never happened, at least I cannot find a single source.

Everyone is a rapist/paedophile/sex pest according to the news. Is that really the hill to die on?

Or Australia should just only play at the Gabba where they smack everyone outta the park.

In America you have to understand their history to understand their culture. 1776 and the constitution is deeply embedded into the psyche of Americans, manifests in many different ways. America took it upon itself to be independent and free of their current government, which you can see manifested today as a culture that expects no help from the government in terms of personal success, it is deeply stigmatised to accept support from the government, ,and people are really expected to 'pull themselves up by their bootstraps'. It creates a huge desire for social mobility, in Australia or the UK, being working class can be something to be proud of, working with one's hands and earning a honest life, not so much in America, one is expected to always want more and to show it off with flashy possessions. Rather than band together and create an environment that benefits the most people, Americans have setted on 'I've got mine, you get yours' based on the merit of individual success. A person is defined by their earning power, not their virtue or actions, and I fear this is becoming deeply prevalent in other countries due to American mass media exportation. There is also a bizarre double think that many fall prey, the obsess over the ideal of 'don't tread on me' for fear of a tyrannical government but many will bootlick the administration that panders to their desires the most. The both distrust the government, but idealise a government institution like the military despite the fact that'd be the hammer of the tyrannical government they fear. I really feel this is a nation of double standards, 'I love Jesus but hate Islam', 'Help the poor, but don't tax me', 'You can't tell me what to do, but arrest that person for breaking the law', 'It doesn't apply to me, but it applies to you'. Americans have great capacity for love and compassion but also an inherent greed and desire for more, money, clothes, food, sugar, coffee, drugs, entertainment, music, medicine, it drives them forward to innovate but in a very 'monoculture' way (how can I milk the cow for all it's worth?, do I abuse the soil to maximise my crop yield?). The short term over the long term, ,always looking for the quick buck. They cannot see the forest for the trees for what is good for America, only themselves.

Still think Warner is too aggressive for a test opener. ODI and 20/20 yeah he is great for that but surely he'd be better at 3 or 4? Wouldn't you want a player with is batting style coming in on a warn in pitch and ball?

Perth is bad for ratings because of the time delay, Cricket Australia and FOX will always use that against Perth. At least it isn't raining in Brisbane, but the rest of the country doesn't matter when you can play cricket in a shut-down quarantined SYDNEY. Gladys Verysicklian must be so proud of her city's Cricket Ground.

He wouldn't be Warner if he didn't play like a midget with a chip on his shoulder. This is like contemplating the wetness of water

Nobody thought to @ me

Was about to join the Sporcle quiz but the thread is locked. Reminds me of the time I was kicked out of the fantasy without being told

So I'm keen to watch the boxing day test right? @Devil-Dick Willie so I thinks to myself I do, I'm gonna buy a VPN set it to Australia and use the Channel 7 app to watch it live. FUCK FOX SPORTS AND CRICKET AUSTRALIA how the shit can they sell the TV rights to Channel 7 but sell the digital rights to Fox and have it exclusive to the Kyomodoodo App or whatever it is called. I thought Apps would set us free from the convoluted mess of TV rights and cable-TV but they have somehow made it harder and more expensive

That's bloody mental. 16 or not, even a 6 year old know not to use both feet.

China is running 'human rights abuse' campaigns against Australia because of the incident with the SAS soldiers. The absolute nerve of those cunts, a white flag of peace in one hand while the other holds a knife in the back of their own citizens. If only we had a strong leadership that could tell China to get fucked without looking like a cowering bully talking under their breath.

I just checked expedia, ,at least $7k to get from Chicago to Sydney, with two stops. Then I'd have to get to QLD, so that'd be four weeks of isolation, right? I don't even think the QLD borders are open to NSW. So many people are screwed right now, ABC seeming reporting daily on someone stuck overseas.

mate flights are getting close to ten grand the last i checked, put that on top the quarantine fee and I will be waiting for a vaccine

There are still like 3000 overseas,, just because there are flights doesn't mean they are flights from everywhere, nor can everyone afford it.

This story should help the Aussies that the goverment has abandoned overseas out. Gotta get home somehow

I think as a culture our humour is quite strange. I just came across a facebook group of working class men taking photos of themselves afterwork earing ice cream and telling eachother to cream on. What other nation has a culture where brick layers look like hipsters have a self aware ironic sense of humour? its fucken queer but probably explains why my generation has an obsession with the simpsons seasons 3-8 @Toinho @Devil-Dick Willie

oh behave mr.cranky

The implication being that you don't have to say a thing when Manchester '£100,000,000 transfer war chest' United says everything about their own progress when they spend a large fortune on a flashy European. D+ pedantry failure

You've obviously never woke up hungerover in the middle of winter when the change of daylight saving kicks in. 'why is the sun setting at 3pm?'

Remember the saying 'don't throw stone in glass houses'?

see that is the thing, scum rises to the top of the pond

Then I don't understand your initial argument and why you quoted me in the first place.

because the arm is the most important tool in football, the QB has to use that to throw
