Flora and fauna, along with the indigenous people, predate the idea of Australia. Those are all cool. It's the twisted, diseased quasi-culture that was excreted by those who called and call themselves Australian.Kory wrote: ↑25 Sep 2017, 1:26pmYou telling me you don't think a kangaroo is cool as shit?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑25 Sep 2017, 1:00pmThe idea of respecting anything Australian goes against the ideals of the Enlightenment.
