Let me just grab my pitchfork and light my torch.

And I'd much prefer large lizards than venomous snakes. We get a lot of both on our property and the lizards are only aggressive when provoked, where the snakes are always aggressive and will actually try and attack.

Plus you probably won't have to vote for a few years until your citizenship clears.
Bonus.

Even then you don't have to vote. I haven't voted in a federal or state election in years. People say aren't you afraid of being fined. I haven't been fined yet. I get letters sent to me all the time from the electoral commission threatening to fine me. I just file them in the trash and continue with my life. They are just full of bluff and bullshit as far as I'm concerned.

After that lady spent years in prison and was eventually released, it was found that a dingo did indeed eat her baby. A dude was illegally keeping one as a pet. It had pups under his house and the mother dingo took the baby to feed them. He found part of the baby's clothing and took it out to the desert and dumped it where dingoes hang out. Then just went about his life like nothing had happened. Sad really, that lady lost everything.

I think that may depend on a few things, more recently they've been basically auto-enrolling people if they don't register to vote between turning 18 (presumably those becoming a citizen, too) and the next election then sending out fines straight away if you don't vote. People who've been dodging it for a while usually don't have any problems.
Having said that, paying fines is laughably easy to avoid. You just submit a brief explanation online which takes a minute or two and if it's even mildly related to something like religious reasons or mental health they let you off.

if we were all skilled hypnotists we wouldn't need guns at all, would we, i think more people need to know about this.

Yeah I had been enrolled since the 80s and used to vote in every election, but once I realised that the voting system was corrupt and was being manipulated by the big corporations and religious groups I decided enough was enough. It's all just a waste of my time bothering to do it. Fuck em all with a big stick.

From me, or just in general? One of my old coworkers was from California and got way into the cultural differences he saw here in the south. He started reading it and was going to lend it to me when he was finished, but got another job and moved before that could happen. The book itself seems super interesting.

Koalas also look cute but when they sound gross when they speak up. Yeesh...

See...the fact you guys think that those godforsaken things are cute speaks volumes about the real horrors lurking down under

It was a required text in one of the class-wide freshman courses when I was in school. It's a pretty interesting book, but required anything typically turns into burdensome target of undergraduate angst.

Honest to god it's shown up outside their kitchen window twice now the morning after he put up new fences, and basically just started at him being like 'what's up? Think you're smart?'
