But to put it into contect
Australian TV news (not that I watch it)
10 minutes sensational Aus news
10 minutes advertising
5 minutes other international news
5 minutes sport/weather consider the same for americans. they are not ignorant rather just not aware

Ha ha, these three from another US forum after talking about animals, all from the same guy.................

Don't you guys have a lot of venomous snakes?

Gotcha. I thought venomous snakes were a big problem down under.

What about kangaroos? Do you have kangaroos in your neighborhood??
I've always wanted one of those. I hear they smell really bad and will kick the **** out of you

A close friend lives outside of Brisbane. They have a family of Roos that live just down the road from them.
She sends me pictures and videos.
I'm concerned the roos will run up and grab the baby. She assures me that sort of thing doesn't happen lol

If I lived there I would make one a pet

My response to the big problem of venomous snakes was......................

Nah, its the drop bears you have to be careful of.

I think he bought it too.

The above is not isolated, very common in fact. Apparently, Australia is full of highly venomous snakes, big spiders, attacking Kangaroos who invade our backyards, killer dogs, poisonous fish................................. So, Australia is a risky place to live. Which completely ignores the risk of being eaten by a bear, alligators in Florida, king cobra snakes, wolves............................
