Title: Not exactly EE but general chat - thought you can use a laught
Post by: Rick Law on July 02, 2019, 01:04:03 am
With electronics so cheap, surveillance cameras are aplenty...  They make solving crime a lot easier.

Here is a dummy who is caught doing very bad things to her neighbor by her own surveillance camera.  If she couldn't find the on/off button, may be she can cover the camera with a towel before she shoot at her neighbor and set fire to her neighbor's house...

Wow..........  We may be 'simple' Folk here in AussieLand, but this is NOT the 'norm' here....
Everyone has to have a 'Guunnn'... and an 'attitude' to live there..............
I'm sorry... (no damn it, I'm NOT!)... We watch 'shows' of 'MEN' that feel like 'men' because they
dress in Camouflage and blow the shit out of some innocent Deer or Moose in it's 'prime'........
And 'brag' to their miss-fortunate  Kids what MEN they are ????????????????????
Disgusting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 :palm:  Surely you are smart enough not to stereotype an entire nation based on what you see on TV?  Then again I don't see what it has to do with electronics anyway.

News flash - it's not the norm here, either.  Spare me the hyperbole.

Not sure if you looked at that video, but that's the strangest looking man I've ever seen, and I own a mirror.

I'm not sure if you're genuinely having a stroke here, but owning a gun doesn't make someone set fire to their neighbors. There are also nice people and shit people here just like in Australia, we're not a load of pubescent teens stomping around our bedroom thinking of who to kill next. What this really even has to do with this video I have absolutely no idea, and the only reason I can even see as to why you might have made this a national ethics thing is to start some sort of argument.

With apologies to AmperaCubdriver, joeqsmith, Rick Law, and the 334 other 'readers' at the time...  :palm:
I was having a bad day/night and carried the original Post not only out of 'context', but also 'generalizing'  :P

I know not everyone in the U.S. thinks like that... However here in Australia it is MASSIVELY less-so......
What 'hit-home' to me the other night, was the memory of a Friend who died by his own hand, with a gun.
This might sound strange, but of all the people I know or have known, HE was the ONLY one, (and later had
found out), to even own a Gun of any sort !   He started gambling heavily after the introduction of those Damn
Pokie-Machines here. He had evidently lost about $30,000 and was at his wits end... The night before, he tried to talk
to me at the Pub, (didn't know why then), and I told him I'm sorry, but I have to go home...

He 'evidently' owned a Pistol... and took it to his Work the next morning... put it to his head & pulled the trigger...
It was 2 days before Christmas, & he and his wife had just had a new baby...  Can you imagine the 'CUNT' that I
felt, for not understanding & talking to him !!............

I know now that it was not my 'fault', but just seeing that Video (which I DID watch!), set off a sequence of memories
that I could not help. I THINK I was being angry at myself again...  So I'm sorry...
MANY years ago as a kid, all our Dads here had a 22 'Rifle' to go 'Rabbiting' etc, for real !! Especially in Rural areas...
Today, I'm sorry, but I just don't see the need. So many 'arguments'/ 'problems' would not have resulted in DEATH,
had they simply not have been 'available' at the time...   Again, I'm sorry...  Glenn   :phew:

Apology accepted. 

Conan learns Australian slang, like Dag.

HA!!!.... 'We' don't mind the 'piss' being taken out of us!
"She'l be right mate", "no wucken furries", "how are they hangin'", "too bloody right cobber!"......
Surprisingly though, 99.5% of us these days do not talk like that anymore, but take it on the chin!   8)
To us, it would be like watching an old American Cowboy movie, getting a 'possy' together to "Head
them off at the Pass", and think that's what it's like today, for the New York Police dept.....    ;D

We DO however, occasionally like our rhyming Word/Phrase associations just for fun, like..........
"In your Skyrocket"...  (pocket)
"On the Maggie Moore"...  (floor)
"I saw a Joey Blake"...  (snake)
"On the Dog & Bone"... (phone)..........

So, 'Stone the Crows mate', you better get with it !!  ^-^
P.S.   Some of our 'words' are NOT the same as used/thought in the U.S.A.........
Here, a 'Fanny' is NOT someones backside, but a 'Vagina'  haha..
'Spunk' is NOT fortitude/strength/guts,  but means 'Semen'  (sorry)
'Shrimp' are TINY things not much bigger than 'Krill', what you eat are 'Prawns' xxxx

Have a good day/night. I am tonight as we play our music tonight with my Missus...    :-+
