I never once had problems with parking ever. And in the more interesting places there are no tourists or traffic at all.
And for a place to stay when I felt like spending the night there was always a nice place to stay not packed with tourists.
All true. But the canned tourists don't know that. LOL

I might sound xenophobic, but I'm getting tired of 3rd rate countries taking pot shots at America. For decades the world looked to us as a beacon of freedom and justice, I never heard Oz mentioned once.
The video was entertaining, your political "commentary" was irrelevant, but when you live in a country that has nothing going for it, I guess the boredom sets in and jealousy takes over......Peace.

What have we contributed: #1. We've kept our noses out of other countries business. 2. We've backed your mob up in wars not of our making. 3. We've got a big heap of your military parked here, making our safety at risk.
Xenophobic add arrogant to that. You're a beacon of exploitation, pushing your influence on countries that have what you want.
Nothing going for it? Then why are people flocking here, even from the beacon of Freedom, investing, exploiting our resources. We have a health system to kill for.
It's where I'd prefer to live.

Arrogant? YOU felt it was "important" to take a pot shot at our election while posting a video. Kept your noses out of other countries's business? Maybe because your racist government was too busy destroying aboriginal culture. A health care system to kill for? Maybe if you're white....Australia is failing to close the child mortality and life expectancy gap between its indigenous and non-indigenous population, with the healthcare and education divide also widening, according to a new report.....At least my "racist" country elected an african american to potus.

As for boorish it sits there along side prudish, narrow minded, behind the times etc etc.
Can't keep politics out of something like this, eh ? Guess you're nothing but the Australian equivalent of a (non-patriotic) deemoncrapper SNOWFLAKE in the US, with very few brain cells....
I worked in the "outback" of Western Australia in the 1960s, and was continually amazed at the amount of swearing I heard. The words added nothing to the meanings of the sentences as they added nothing to the video. I had the urge to ask why so much swearing, but why sound like I was criticizing?
Geez, I haven't seen that many Land Rovers in one area since an outing some time ago. Quite a few of them wandering the desert around Phoenix, Az.

Filthy language is only an enhancement to minds accustomed to vulgarity. I would not patronize people who employ it in their daily lives. Back in the early 50's when I was drafted into service, I made a pledge (to myself) to not use vulgar terms in talk with other servicemen. I kept that pledge for my 30 years in the military without chastising any others in conversation for their vulgarity. Never was a comment made about me (to me) about my not swearing as I think the lack of my swearing was not even noticed and over ridden by their own.
This was Hilarious.
Not sure why it all got so derailed. Sorry for that.
Not all humor suits all people.
The poster was very polite about warning everyone about the bad words so they could choose not to view the clip.
If you don't like bad language then you could easily avoid watching it. So simple.
Not sure what more people are execting from the internet. I thought the poster was being considerate.
I love humor and hope people keep sharing it.
I might point out that we (The United States) are a Democratic Republic, not a democracy. If you are going to hack on someone, at least get your statements correct.

I never drank alcohol or smoked in the service and no one ever commented (I did swear some) and no comments. At the bar with buddies I drank Coke etc. and never a word, went out for good times etc.
Swearing; don't really how it enhances anything. Doesn't particularly bother me, but would keep me from sending this clip to other people.
The remark about our president: It's our country. Our people may be different in our needs and wants than yours. No criticism, just the way things are. If every country felt the same way about everything, it would be pretty dull. In some ways, we have more freedoms than some other countries, and the way we do things has worked okay for over 200 years and made us a beacon for freedom, and a superpower, for better or worse. Seems like a lot of people want to come here. Didn't mean to get on a soapbox here, just proud of my country.
