    Their reality is not ours, but overlaps ours enough to keep things interesting.

    I grew up in Hawaii where they have foot long electric green and electric blue centipedes with hollow legs like hooked needles. They will sink all 100 legs into your leg and inject you with a more deadly poison than a rattle snake. They are everywhere on the islands, and don't like being stepped on. There are so many exotic ways to die in Hawaii they should do a tour.

    It’s my guess the Indigenous Australians or Aborigines look at that bite and call it justice

    Mr Smooth Himself

    In the beginning was the word,
    And, the word was without form,
    As God cut a silent, but deadly fart!
    The angels quietly pulled out lighters.
    Pretending they were at a rock concert!
    The Heavenly choir picked up the tempo!
    Whilst God, made a most merciful retreat!
    Hanging the moon in orbit around the earth,
    Apologizing the entire time, while chuckling,
    Promising to buy, the stronger air-fresheners!
    God blessed humanity, and hung the rainbow!
    Insisting everybody is full of it in his universe!
    Bullshit being the source of sparkling laughter!
    He sent Baby Velvet Jesus to remind humanity!
    To be kind and share their words and play nice.
    To always remember life demands a sense of humor!
    The worst jokes of all always hurt for a reason!
    The devil hates people, always laughing at him!
    Unable to see, what’s missing from this picture!
    The harder he tries to laugh the worse it sounds!
    Schrodinger's Cat merely coughed up a hair ball.
    Refusing to learn how to laugh at himself again!
    Hid deep underground practicing atrocious farts!
    Then God sent Velvet Elvis, to inspire humanity!
    To put a little more swing, in some of their jokes!
    Swing your hips and keep paying it forward suckers!
    Baby Velvet Jesus and Velvet Elvis are Mr Smooth himself!
    Velvet Jesus just left Chicago, and he’s bound for New Orleans,
    Hellllllll Yeahhhhh!!!!!
    Then out to California through the burning forest and the pines!

    In twenty years the entire planet is projected to start slowly killing 2 billion people, by cooking them to death. I'd say we all got some splainin' to do Lucy! The fish are dying, the plants are dying, the birds are dying, and insects are dying, but the microbes are thriving. Aborigines can live their dream down under, if they can find shade.

    I'm American and have lived in Spain and half the states including Hawaii. Canada just cut a deal to supply the US with water, all the water we want, so we can watch the whole world go up in flames. The governor of California has declared they no longer have a fire season.

    Exactly, it's that type of attitude, a forceful reminder of what nobody alive today never did 400 years ago, it's gotta be put to bed already. It's 2019, not 724.

    LOL, go ahead and play with all the logic and assumptions you prefer. Please, tell me more about how you interpret every word I write. Your imagination is better than mine. Karma is the concept that a context without any significant content is a contradiction, therefore, humanity must be reborn, but that begins with falling on our collective asses. We are spirits in the material world, and whether you acknowledge it or not, mother nature can teach anyone humility.

    Fuck it if some assholes live the good life at the expensive of everyone else, they will pay the same price when the species becomes extinct. You either pay it forward, or pay up, and nobody can make you regret your choices like mother nature, who will give you much more than you ever wanted. We are legion, we are the collective unconscious, and all your petty egotistical crap is meaningless to us. Neo-Nazis are dying right now by the droves, because they might as well swallow poison.

    The average lifespan of a Mafioso is three to five years. You are either a social animal, or an extinct species.

    How much of that untouched outback is habitable to wildlife or suitable for farming?
    What about the great barrier riff? Or your country's dealing with plastic waste?

    To be fair; this pic isn't situated in Australia and the bite not from a huntsman spider :p
    It may depend on your sense of humour wether you find he's deserving of that bite or not. It's Will Ferrel :D

    I still think Hotwaters comment is funny though, and may even hold some truth in that some aboriginals really would think such a thing. Then they probably would help if they can.
    Anyway, I wouldn't blame an aboriginal for having that thought. I might if I was in a similar position. Irminsul probably too.

    Not me I don't think. What happened to the aboriginals had absolutely no bearing in my families life so I'm not going to be guilted into feeling bad about something that we never did and what never happened to aboriginals living today.

    I think that's a terrible attitude to have this constant reinforcement of what happened hundreds of years ago. While the stout many population consistantly wants equality and fairness blah blah then they should quit with the negative reinforcement.

    The truth is if aboriginals do think like that then they've got attitude problems because with all the immigration in Australia it would be pretty hard to pin point a blood line that would actually deserve it, though I know a lot of coloured folks assume one white person is all white people, kinda says a lot about the situation, but needless to say, I won't be shamed into guilt.

    Talk to the English. :)

    I ment if you were in a similar position as them, so a hypothetical situation anyway.
    Since you seem proud on your own (ancient) culture and of your own country/area where you live you might have a resentful thought or two if your ancestors land was taken over centuries ago and another culture and people ruled it, and last but not least discriminated (and opressed) your people during most of that time. I know I might.
