I certainly don't see where our President has anything to do with the video and I certainly don't see where your comments are any more disgusting than the video.

I notice all the stupid trucks around. Haven't been on a safari but if this is what they are I would feel like an idiot going on one and this is not wilderness it is a large zoo with a bunch of tourists gaping at the animals performing for them.


I think these African safari's are getting more and more like this. They've gained much popularity and now it's overcrowded. Shame. I wish I could have gone before it got like this. It's still on my bucket list.

There are ways to travel without being a part of the human herd still. I see all these cruises and tours as really silly. You see so little of the real country. While in various countries at times I would go to a city that might have tourist appeal and watch the busses go by as the captives inside snapped photos or they got out and had a few minutes to take a photo.
I saw sights in that same city that a tourist on a tour would never see or experience that I wouldn't trade for a million canned tours. Take London. I found one of those guards in a guard box in literally an alley where no one was. As he changed I approached him and we had a wonderful discussion about his life, what he does and other things. This is one of hundreds of similar experiences. Like finding old Roman roads hidden in the middle of a forest with the mile markers intact and a castle hidden nearby that was abandoned and left as is for centuries.
That is the way to really see a country and meet the people or come across one of the community walks and get invited to come along and enjoy the festivities with them.

It doesn't but it does to the comments I replied to. Sounds like the truth hurts. Ouch.

At least some of the people on the tour bus would say that that's the only way to go. No driving, no driving around just to find a place to park, no ending up in the wrong part of town, no bothering with making reservations for motels etc.

As it's difficult to understand what is in the American minds when you elect a president like you have.


Ah, OZ. The largest penal colony on the planet. And let us not forget the "stolen generation," where indigenous children were stolen from their parents by the government and forced to assimilate into Australian , (read white) culture, and this continued into the 70s!

I am no Trump supporter, but before you cast aspersions on my country, yours had better not be made of glass.

As for boorish it sits there along side prudish, narrow minded, behind the times etc etc.


Well Bunko, you know how it is. The Russians were calling the shots on who the ultimate winner would be.
They didn't want to deal with a women, so they elected the Donald.

And this allegedly all happened under Obama. Who refused to take our security seriously, and the rest of the world looked at us like the joke we were under him. I guess to many red lines in the sand.

The video disgusting?? Nature was happening like it does world wide.
What is disgusting is the gathering of vehicles & people watching it. I didn't make the video I just share it around.
My sense of humour, & your lack of one is chalk & cheese. In fact to be serious, there was no animals injured except the Gnu hat has become Lion poo.
Nature is a bitch if you're a Gnu, plentiful if a Lion.
The humour was in the adaption of a commentary of shopping styles of women & men. The language is no different to what one hears in the street, in movies, on tv, in live stage shows. Church is about the only refuge you'll not hear it.
I don't know how offended by it but if you stress about things you have no control over, then you are the one to suffer.
Chill out, that's what the nation has to do with Trump in charge, then stress about the damage he's done.
So what are you bitching about?

I didn't think the males ever hunted. Boy was I wrong. Bang and it's dead just like that!



I found the voice over funny in using the human analogy, the guy's been bricklaying all day, comes home hungry & mum is still pussyfooting around choosing the food.
He just wants food, doesn't want a salad, doesn't have to be Halal certified etc. sure the language is a little blue, but can we not empathise with the verbal picture painted?
I agree, the males don't hunt, I thought. But the scenario painted by the narrator says it all.
If you want a job done right, I might as well do it myself!!

Your history is nothing to crow about, neither is your present. We are all tarnished by our forefathers one way or tother.
This post was about a vid clip with a commentary, not the Third World War. Trump is getting that going.

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.

Not quite sure what you meant there, but if you were a joke under The big O, you certainly are now. No one wants to touch him with a barge pole. Not a kind word for him anywhere. You who put him there should hang your heads in shame.

If it was just about the "vid clip," then why the sniping at the American electorate? We're a democracy, the people voted, and in 4 or 8 years, there will be another potus. Let's be honest here, wtf has Australia ever contributed to the world? Kangaroos don't count.

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.
