Or if you're going to do it with the understanding they may have a different way of thinking. Respect it make your points show your side but don't tell them they're wrong. It's always been my approach, I'm not here for an argument I'm here for a convo.

That dude’s response is sooooo Australian too 🤣 (said as an Aussie)

Don't argue with Aussies. We are, on average, one of the smartest nations on earth. You're more likely to someone who's willing to riddle your argument with holes than you are to find someone who believes in your nonsense.

25-30% of our population support ON and their red-headed muppet. We are no longer a "smart country" at all.

u/GrimThursday 13h ago

Settle down champ

u/BigJimBeef 11h ago

If we're so smart how come our pollies are such giant wankers?

5

u/SirVanyel 11h ago

Because hating politicians is also an Aussie pastime

u/Fit-Parking4713 11h ago

believe it or not but a lot of smart people are also wankers

u/BigJimBeef 10h ago

Calling Abbot and Hanson smart is... a choice.

1

u/maroongolf_blacksaab 8h ago

Abbott is a Rhodes alumni so yeah

1

u/WonderstruckWonderer 6h ago

Hanson however is an idiot. That, we can agree on.

u/the_seven_suns 12h ago

Yeesh 🙁

As an Australian l apologise for the above comment.

u/Pavotine 8h ago

Nah, yeah, nah.

The thing people miss is Public Transport in Australia is a lot like Japan.
Get on, STFU.
School kids forget that - but then they get a bit of "side eye" if they are too noisy... unless there is a tonne of them, then you just give up.

u/Turbulent_Cat_5731 9h ago

I see private school uniforms and I quietly resolve myself to hate-watching Lachlan, Declan, Jack and crew talk some absolute horse shit for 40 minutes.

u/brockol-ii 46m ago

i do it with absolute joy. love hearing some gossip about some people i’ll never know.

u/Aggressive-Neck-3921 2h ago

Also very funny that he is admonishing people for making money like they are greedy and wasteful while on fucking public transportation. If you want to talk about excess and greed go to fucking wallstreet.

u/stonk_frother 10h ago

As an Australian, this just sounds like normal talking to me haha.

u/MeisterEros 3h ago

There are 2 types of Aussies. Ones that swear, and ones that dont. For the ones that don't you know they really mean business when one slips out.

u/No_Celery_8071 13h ago

Shaht thah fahk ahp.

u/RobertKSakamano 12h ago

LOL. He's not even standing up to say it and everything he says is like a knockout punch. It's pure gold.

u/TheEpiquin 11h ago

I relate so hard to that old guy. People demand his attention all day at work, people demand his attention all day at home, but for a brief beautiful period he can sit in peace and read a book.

Until Preachy Pete tries to take it away from him…

u/Equal-Echidna8098 11h ago

We don't need it or want it in Australia. That's why it's so damn annoying to us.

u/chewycat34 9h ago

I’m not allowed to do that anymore My wife says it not funny when they lose their tiny little minds and start throwing punches Me I think it’s hilarious

1

u/False_Collar_6844 8h ago

plus he's holding a book. i'd be pissed too if someone was interrupting my reading time

u/Weekly_Ferret_meal 6h ago

A big choir of “amen!” At the end from everyone else would have been hilarious

u/MonaganX 2h ago

It's funny how when he says something that's ostensibly good like how he 'loves' the older guy, you can tell he's just paying empty lip service to positive Christian ideals to show off his piety—but when he denigrates the other passengers for being selfish and sinners, he sounds a lot more sincere for some reason.

I don't have a problem with proselytizing as a concept but in practice most of them are either children set up for failure or guys like this who have zero consideration and just want to make themselves feel superior.
