Meanwhile in Australia

[Smitty-48]

I thought we were friends.

Australia is the British Crown, your oldest enemy

Australia is the Stamp Act of the South Pacific

Yeah, I found a poll showing Americans are overwhelmingly fond of Australians (they took the #1 spot) - but the Aussies don't like us much.

Well then, "mate".
Go fuck yourselves, you Kangaroo-sucking, dingo-philandering, weak-ass, unarmed, Desert honkies.

what you see in Australia is what the Founders went to war against

with the retreat of the American Hegenomy, the Britons are reverting to their Hanoverian roots

George III lives

If you want Australians to take you seriously you're going to have to go back to playing cricket.

They don't have any guns.
I don't take them seriously.

All these Commonwealth States had their chances to become truly independent for 200 years, they didn't.
That tells you all you need to know about the will of the people in those States.

You don't need a gun to play cricket.

They have around 3 million guns in private ownership.
If you can show a legitimate need for one you can get a firearms license.
It's just that in a country with very little gun violence self defence is not considered a legitimate reason to own one.

Three million you say?
I think my neighbor also has three million.
Because America has about 417 million private firearms.

And we intend to keep it that way.

850,000 + current firearms license holders.

Seems about right considering there are only 25 million Australians and most of them live in cities.

Which members of the Commonwealth aren't truly Independent?

A. Not the point, the point is all these Commonwealth States had plenty of time to become truly free nations but they did not, because deep down, love Centralized Power.

B. I'm talking about places like Australia, Canada and Scotland. As long as they are still saying Hail to Queen, they are not truly independent. Check their Constitutions, they all refer to the Crown.

They all have their own Parliaments and make their own laws.
Many, including Australia, have chosen via referenda to keep Her Majesty as their non-political head of state.
Not sure what definition of ''truly independent'' you are using but it doesn't match mine.
