once he realises that humans are bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling

they probably got scared by the Global Times telling the CCP-faithful that "Australia is a racist country"

i think they meant excessive friendliness and familiarity

nah, it's not any more racist than any other country. the CCP like to play the victim when we criticize their trade embargoes and the handling of the pandemic, by calling us "racist". like the SJWs do

you should try working in the I.T. field, my friend. self-aggrandizing indian "gurus", everywhere

in australia, most people here are apolitical. they seem to think that government is so intertwined in a country's identity, that the two are inseperable. so, you get some idiots that think criticizing the CCP makes you a racist, and you get some idiots who think "all gooks should be shot because china dun bad things"

my wife is vietnamese of chinese ancestry, and she has TWO reasons to hate the communists, LOL

yeah, but my wife's family have a special case. they lost a few relatives when escaping the communist uprising in southern china, and a few of the uncles were executed and tortured by the communists in Dalat during the revolution

relatives killed by Maoists in china for trying to escape, and relatives killed by communists in vietnam for publicly decrying the chinese communists

welcome to vietnam in the 60s

as was vo nguyen zap

excuse my anglicization, my vietnamese is still a work in progress 🙂

"wing"

well, to be fair, that's how they pronounce it in the SOUTH. ie. Saigon. Hanoi, ie. the government, pronounce it differently, because of dialects and accents

go to HK and apply for asylum to australia 🙂 plenty of us here fighting for recognition of hong kong independence, lol

if you have money, you can get a damned good education in vietnam

but.... most rich vietnamese families who fund their own education, send their kids to australia, usa, canada, germany, etc.

about on par with that in Australia.... which for an SE-asian country with a GDP one eighth of Australia's, is pretty damn good

international business connections, to get their kids a job outside of vietnam

rich vietnamese want so badly for their kids to escape vietnam, they'll spend anything to get them out

life in vietnam is great if you're middle class and employed by the government. sucks if you've got no family support, because there's no welfare. sucks if you're rich, because the communists will take whatever they want from you

you won't be middle class in vietnam, lol

rich in vietnam = cop magnet. every time you go outside, you'll be pulled over by local cops for a bribe. it's just part of "their culture"

when i was in university and had about $5 to my name, because i'm white as snow, i would still get pulled over, despite riding a shitty 30-year old scooter

in capital cities, white people are treated like cash cows. in rural japan, however, you'll be lucky to get in to a restaurant unless you immediately start speaking in fluent japanese to the owner

and that's just the cops 😛

to learn humility. visiting vietnam taught me that no matter how poor and homeless i might be, at least i had a society willing to offer some help.

nobody has guns... even the cops dont have guns. the sargeants get shitty old revolvers, and the army get night sticks

let the shitposting go on!

90% of the "army" you'll see in the streets are conscripts. vietnam (until recently) had mandatory conscription, where you either spend a year in the police force or the army. that's why they dont get guns, because they're 18 year old kids

my wife, who was born and raised in vietnam, looks chinese, so people always treated her like a tourist, and she'd get ripped off all the time, lol

im pretty sure that the vietnamese government realised that if they gave every conscript a ar15, the government would not be around for more than a week, lol

lol nah, district 7, the poor chinese area, not district 1

dont bother with "mail order brides". while they come from a poor family, they also have no idea what to DO with money. they get a whiff of free money and go crazy with it. you have to find one that's incredibly humble, and understands stuff like how to run a business, otherwise they'll waste all your money on pointless shit

vietnam as a tourist country is awesome.... some fantastic beaches to sit and gorge yourself on fresh seafood, and the mountain towns are beautiful. just don't try living there and running a business, lol

you've heard of Thailand, right? 😛

thai boys....

a lot of old gay white dudes happy to sponsor young poor thai boys happy to pretend theyre gay

yeah, well the alternative for them is destitute poverty in thailand because their government is corrupt AF. they may be straight, but they can sacrifice their sexual desires for a better lifestyle

when i went to Phuket to see my mates who had retired there (with their thai husbands, lol), the thai husbands had to keep fighting off the local boys who were trying to sit down to drink with me, thinking i was there to meet up with boys. grrrrrrrrr it was frustrating, and depressing at the same time. (also, i'm a bloke, and my mates are blokes)

that's why i say travelling the world is humbling. you see people with no legs moving around town on a billycart because their government doesnt help them, and they rely on donations. there's poor boys who were purposefully blinded by their parents to become a blind masseuse and earn an income. there's children as young as 4 or 5, kept out of school because the mother was a drug addict and spent all the government welfare on heroin. australia ain't so bad.

also, in cambodia, the number of young girls who tried to approach me for fukcy fukcy, was fucking depressing. when i say young, i mean about 12

whats worse is that their pimp would follow you if you didnt give the girls some money

so my brother in law and i had to carry a stack of US $20 bills to get them to go away

in cambodia? LOL

cambodia has guns, lots of guns

but theyre friggen hard for a tourist to buy for self defense, lol

neighbouring countries (ie. laos and vietnam) don't have guns

most of the guns in cambodia are what was stolen from the french and US troops during the war, and what the khmer rouge stole from the government, lol

theyre beautiful countries, and the average people on the street are quite nice and humble, but there's still that 1% of degeneracy

that's why most foreign tourists go in a tour group, so they can pay off the locals to not steal their shit, lol

totally different situation if you live, work, or have retired there

preparing you guys for what life in the USA will be like under a Kamala Harris administration 😛

texas

if California seceeded from the union, would they have to give back the land that belonged to mexico?

lol, i knew i'd find you in here, @dbel

wrong, it's missing entitled boomer karen telling him to give her the crocodile and demanding to speak to his manager. also covid masks something something

thanks, mate 🙂

you mentioned a comment about evangelism and one about a theocracy, so i figured you're probably on board the deus vult train 🙂

purgatory (ie. where we go before rapture), heaven by god's side, and heaven with the angels for the rest of us

mormon elitism hurts my brain

FOR THE EMPEROR!

i see adeptus mechanicus, i updoot

when LDS come to visit my house to debate (i say debate, they say bear witness), i just ask them if jesus is the brother of satan.

exactly

Sola Fide, biatches 🙂

hurr durr, but if jesus created the world, he also created mary, and impregnated his own daughter.... christianity is lIteRaLlY iNcEsT! hurr durr! /s

the ultimate plot twist: Satan was the one who both opened the tomb and led the hand of the romans to crucify Jesus. .... - the plot of M. Knight Shlamayan's version of the passion

yeah, hence the /s at the end 🙂

how does one impersonate the bot?

kinda sounds like a young version of crowder

@qwerty_😎 that sounds like Lecrae, lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc8x33lAnAk best song ever 🙂

"like a hero in a dream, Christ came and rescued me. i'mma tell the world" ^_^

@dbel earlier you said you'd only wanna go to places like Cambodia and Vietnam to evangelize.... yeah, that's pretty much what I was trying to do. Witness, 24/7 🙂

OT rap, nice

nah nah nah... what I'm trying to say is that I was there on holidays, and saw all this pain and suffering, and the witness came naturally, because I honestly have no other way to react other than to cry and pray, to be fair.

seeing some of the most depressing shit in the world, ate me up inside, so the reaction i knew best was to pray, and to share it in witness 🙂

I like the saying "Prayer shouldn't be the last thing you do, the 'hail mary'... it should be the first."

cos honestly there's diddly squat I can do to make those people's lives better, as a lowly human. so i just ask for help 🙂

where was this filmed? the old jewish quarter? you can see the dome of the rock (not "al aqsa") from there

I think it's on the roof of the 7 arches hotel, near the Tomb of The Prophets (https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Dome+of+the+Rock/@31.7761606,35.2425778,799m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x150329c86ce8896f:0xe33f01a44e2808aa!8m2!3d31.7780191!4d35.2354079)

i would loooooooove to one day go visit the holy city

wow, these Hazakim guys only have 873 subscribers? well, they have 874 now 🙂

so not only can i not attend mass and holy communion, but i can't go on pilgrimmage? nice

hard to take communion when i'm anglican, without a minister to attend the service, lol

feels like living as a gregorian monk

oh yeah, we tried that.... there's a pastor here (not anglican) who runs an aquarium shop next to his ministry (get it, fishers of men... lol), and the rona saw his ministry shut down, so the congregation would stagger their visits and everyone started buying fish tanks / "aquariums".... it got shut down too

Melbourne and Sydney are the modern sodom and gomorra

it's been ridiculously hard to find a minister willing to have mass outside of their little cathedral. in the meantime, Hillsong has been thriving with their online services, but the catholic and anglican churches in Australia will probably cease to exist here if it weren't for "culturally christian" middleclassholes wanting to use the catholic church to get their children in to a good private school

Australia doesn't have Walmart, lol
