Re: Oregon shooting

[(Anonymous)]

Australian here and this seems very much an alien US-specific problem to us. Not something I fear. Guns are currently still very rarely used against the public - most shootings are drug related. Only hunters and crims tend to own them or want to. No one I know feels they need to be armed in any way for self-defence.

Seriously tempted to move there. If only I had the money...

Isn't that where everything on the internet is restricted?

Re: Oregon shooting

[(Anonymous)]

Hm. I honestly don't know. Is it?

Re: Oregon shooting

[(Anonymous)]

Australian again and no? I torrent freely etc?

Technically fiction and drawings depicting underage people is banned, that's an unusual thing in the West, but it's rarely enforced, I mean, no one banned GRRM's works.

Re: Oregon shooting

[(Anonymous)]

That's what I'd thought, yeah, but I wasn't sure if there were certain restrictions or something.

But yep, that sounds about reasonable.

* underage sex I mean, lol

last i heard i think we were the biggest pirates of GoT

so, i guess not

Re: Oregon shooting

Well...they try to. The biggest restriction is how fucking slow the internet is.

I like living in Australia. The politicians are retrogressive idiots and there's some shit racism going on but compared to the US, eh I'll take here. The pollies haven't completely dismantled social welfare/healthcare yet. It's pretty peaceful. The climate is nice. There's a lot of open space. Things mostly do not want to kill you, despite our conscious propaganda to the contrary.

Only thing is that it's a total fortress wrt migrants, even whites, but for those from the US it seems to be a lot easier for some (lol) reason. Marriage or qualifications do help tho.

Haha, yeah, I was going to say, I have heard about the spiders in Australia, and considering I'm not exactly a fan of spiders in general, that...would be a bit of an issue for me :p.

Seriously, though, even if I don't ever move there, I really would like to visit the country someday. It really does seem like a lovely, fascinating place in so many ways.

ayrt I think I've only ever seen one deadly spider.. and that was dead. I've seen about four deadly snakes in my lifetime, and that was by going out into the bush, and they will avoid you if you avoid them.

In most highly populated areas (esp the southeast) it is extremely safe, no hurricanes, cyclones, bushfires, tsunamis, earthquakes, riots or killer kangaroos to worry about. We did have a small-scale terrorist attack last year though, 3 people died including the terrorist.

Re: Oregon shooting

[(Anonymous)]

That's rather reassuring news regarding the spider/snake situation and whatnot.

As for the terrorist attack? Well, we had 9/11 here, as well as a few domestic terrorist incidents, so not like that'd be anything new or surprising for me, unfortunately.

Re: Oregon shooting

I wouldn't necessarily say it's a gun issue, though. I live in a rural part of the US where most everyone owns at least one gun (for hunting or for chasing away coyotes from their livestock) and we haven't had any shootings or anything like that here. The worst thing that's happened was someone's dog getting shot a while back because it was running loose and someone mistook it for a coyote.

If it were an issue with access to guns, then people here would be getting shot left and right and that simply doesn't happen.

Re: Oregon shooting

[(Anonymous)]

rural populations are minuscule in comparison to densely populated areas. densely populated areas, by nature, contain more people and within that population there will be more people who wish to do harm to others.

without guns, these people will still find ways to harm others. but access to guns makes this much easier for them and allows for the damage to be large scale. not everyone can successfully build a bomb, but most people can learn to successfully load and shoot a gun.

Re: Oregon shooting

Every now and then it happens. A farmer not far from where I live shot his neighbor in the course of a dispute over land.

He tried to claim it was self-defense, but he also tied the neighbor's body to the tail of his pickup and dragged the dead man around the disputed field several times before hiding it in a ditch, and I don't think that helped his case.
