As Clive James said, The problem is not that Australians are descended from convicts, it's that they are descended from prison guards

amirite John Lee Pettimore @John Lee Pettimore Sheepdog @Former Maycee Barber Fan ?
It's a good line, all right. :smile:

Doesn't apply to me, though - no blood relatives of mine had even set foot in the Southern Hemisphere until after WW2. Everybody uses the "you're a convict" line all the time, as soon as you set foot out of Australia, and I'm always like "well, first of all I'm not, and second, if that was how my family ended up here...... that's a pretty kickass origin story."

The first ever Australian police force was comprised of 12 of the best behaved crooks, though.

And the first structure ever built in Australia by Europeans was a waist-high stone wall on a tiny godforsaken little island, built to help half of a capsized ship's crew repel an attack from the other half of the crew who had claimed another tiny little godforsaken island a couple of hundred yards away. :smile:

Can you link to something about this so we can read. That sounds wild.
You'd be better off just watching Animal Kingdom, which is one of the only good Australian films ever made. It's a realistic dramatization that isn't a direct 'based on a true story' but was genuinely designed to capture the spirit of real life events.

I couldn't think of a single link that would go through the police executions, revenge bombings and shootings of police, murders of informants and crime kingpins to protect corrupt cops, and completely perverting the justice system. But look up 'Lawyer X Victoria' to put in perspective that you're not dealing with a police force that has historically been particularly concerned with correct judicial procedures.

Honestly the two worst experiences I have had with cops were Aussie transplants to Canada. Super aggressive and rude, also didn’t actually know the laws of Canada. Luckily I spanked them in court.

Every fellow Australian I have met in Canada, or any other country for that matter, was a cunt. I don't know if you experienced cunt Australian cops as much as you just experienced cunt Australians.

The only good Australian is one that's not in Australia.
Least that's what Australians I know tell me.

@Splinty if you want an insight into the Aussie at home watch the doc on the aboriginal Aussie rules football guy.

Sheepdog @Former Maycee Barber Fan will tell you the title.

Coronavirus transforms pancreas cell function

When the coronavirus infects cells, it not only impairs their activity but can also change their function, new findings suggest. For example, when insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas become infected with the virus, they not only produce much less insulin than usual, but also start to produce glucose and digestive enzymes, which is not their job, researchers found. "We call this a change of cell fate," said study leader Dr. Shuibing Chen

I wonder if injected spike proteins does the same.

Examples of content that won’t be allowed on YouTube include claims that the flu vaccine causes infertility and that the MMR shot, which protects against measles, mumps, and rubella, can cause autism, according to YouTube’s policies.

The online video company owned by Alphabet Inc is also banning channels associated with several prominent anti-vaccine activists including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Joseph Mercola, a YouTube spokesperson said.


A press email for Mercola’s website said in a statement: “We are united across the world, we will not live in fear, we will stand together and restore our freedoms.”

Kennedy said in a statement: “There is no instance in history when censorship and secrecy has advanced either democracy or public health.”


The moves come as YouTube and other tech giants like Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc. have been criticized for not doing enough to stop the spread of false health information on their sites.

But even as YouTube takes a tougher stance on misinformation, it faces backlash around the world. On Tuesday, Russian state-backed broadcaster RT’s German-language channels were deleted from YouTube, as the company said the channels had breached its COVID-19 misinformation policy.

Russia on Wednesday called the move “unprecedented information aggression,” and threatened to block YouTube.
