Maybe in rural australia.

but over half of australia lives in the 4 biggest cities which are just bogan factories m8.

you don't even see a roo until you get into the outback.

it's nothing worse than Texas TBH.

Y'know what really grabs my goat? In the first Punic war, Hannibal was a dick and didn't pay a lot of his soldiers, so at the end they rebelled. Understandably.

That means before the beginning of the second punic war, ol' Handjob Hannibal had to put down a rebellion before he could start doing the real shit.

What boggles the crap out of me is - how did he convince more people to fight for him? I mean was he just a great orator? Was he a great commander AND charismatic as balls?

Look, chums, I know I didn't pay those other dudes, and now I just killed them ...but I promise I'll pay ya'll. Pinky swear.

That's gangster.

what really grabs my goat about SECOND PUNIC WARS is that the Carthaginian govt didn't give hannibal siege equip for attacking Rome.

Why couldn't he bring along a siege engineer to build that stuff for him over there?

it really make me sad

Why wouldn't he bring one is a solid question. Maybe Hannibal feared an attack while building ensued?

let me hook you up with the real secret to a happy life:

with the amount of dumbshits that there are in the world, boycotting anything is a waste of both your energy AND hopes & dreams.

It doesnt help

I boycotted comcast 20+ years ago, since then their proffits have sored to reccord levels

Another example: I used to drive with the ulitmate courtasy to other drivers, hoping to 'pay it forward'... if I signal, others will see and THEY will signal! If I yield, others will respect that and THEY will yield.

But the results were consistant over the years, no matter how good a driver I was, people were still fucking shitty at it.

So one day I said, fuck it, im gonna drive like an asshole, not signal when I turn, cut people off when I want to do what I want etc.

Now when people drive shitty around me, instead of thinking "GOD DAMMIT IF I DO THE RIGHT THING WHY CANT YOUUU!U!UU!!?!???!1" I think "haha got me there buddy, good on ya!"

So, what Im saying is, if you try to make a difference, you wont, and it will only make you MORE frustrated that the 350 other million americans you live with seem oblivious to your utopian ideals.

In fact, take it a step further and STOP BEGING A CUCKED UP SOCIALIST because all you're doing is stressing yourself out.

Get a job, buy some land, pay for insurance and move on with your life. Trust me, it'll make you happier.

Who said anything about a one man boycott? Not to mention that's an asinine assertion. Has representational logic failed you into over thinking?
