    Questions About Australia

    Nor has this thread become any better from your post. And I like to think that someone in charge here doesnt mind this thread, as it still exists. I also like to think that other people besides myself have learned a thing or two. Great post :rolleyes:

    Cant wait for an update on this thread. I'm super curious about these new hops as well. At least one place here in the States is selling a recipe kit (Golden Ale) using Magnum hops as well, but I cant find a full recipe (of course).

    Haha, I'm going to take that as a "Yes, they are just like in the States" Question answered. And its not that I dont want to talk politics, I just dont want this friendly thread to turn into a flame-fest

    Questions About Australia

    Alright, I'm done with the gun topic. I highly doubt that we're going to really agree on this issue. Lets just chalk it up to a cultural difference between our two countries. Tell me about your labor unions. Are they hardcore like they are here in America?

    Questions About Australia

    Good point. Which is why I prefer the option of having a concealed weapon on my person. I could then make the choice on whether to do what the person says, or draw my weapon and use it. I can guarantee that 99.5% of the time I WILL NOT be drawing my weapon. Point is, criminals here have...

    Is this vegemite like our V8? Vegetables thrown in a blender that is supposedly good to drink? Here in the States we have "V8 Splash" now. They've thrown some fruits in there so it supposedly tastes better. Even more dangerous.

    Questions About Australia

    If I killed someone by beating them to death with a hammer, did the hammer kill them or did I? I did, of course. Why does this logic magically change if you switch out "hammer" for "firearm"?

    That kind of how it was in my family. After a certain age and a long final lecture about the dangers, we were allowed complete access to his firearms (and he had plenty). All guns except his bedside .45 were unloaded. I once grabbed his 2nd .45 which I knew was unloaded and handed it to him...

    Questions About Australia

    In America we obviously have gun crime. Illegal guns are on the streets and they are used daily. I like having a gun in my house for protection against intruders. I have my 12 guage up in my closet loaded, all I need to do is pump it and its ready to go. I wouldnt say that Americans "need" the...

    This made me laugh. Unfortunately, as a country, we have more than our share of idiots here in the US.

    Questions About Australia

    And any responsible gun owner here in the states will have their firearms locked up in some way or at the very least out of the reach of children. And there is no legal shooting inside towns(bb guns being the exception). If I was out plinking away at cans with a .22, the cops would be here...

    Questions About Australia

    I'd have to say that the person who pointed the gun at you was threatening. Do you find a loaded gun, with safety on, to be threatening? What about an unloaded gun? Sorry, I find this to be silly. A gun is an piece of metal with a few working parts. What it really comes down to is the person...

    Questions About Australia

    Absolutely not. I should have mentioned earlier, here in the States we have something called a "medical card". Basically, if a person makes below X amount a year, they can go apply for one. It takes care of everything, meaning the state pays for it. Medical, dental, and vision. You would get...
