I know that in certain countries like Japan or South Korea: it’s normal to leave the front door unlocked since the probaility of someone breaking in is low since their crime rate isn’t high. I knew a friend of mine who resides in Korea where they even left the car unlocked with the keys inside, can you do either of those things in America?

    I believe Trumptopia is about the same size physically as Australia.

    You know, you could get a ‘search engine’ like AskJeeves or Bing and then you’d know for sure.

    USA 9.83 square km

    Aus 7.69 square km.

      Yeah nah cunt. You don’t include Alaska in that as it’s pulling a lot of weight.

      Contiguous US is 8.08. Still slightly larger than Australia but only byy a dick hair.

        This is the most Australian argument I’ve read, I even read it in my best Australian accent.

        Some of my inspiration for my internal Australian accent include:

        “Fosters, Australian for beer!”

        “That’s not a knife, THIS is knife!”

        “I’m dry as a dead dingo’s donger”

          Fun fact: if by some miracle you find Fosters anywhere Australia, if you actually buy it and drink it, you get instantly deported to Manus Island because you’re clearly not from around here. Or worse, a pome.

            Good to know! I’ve never bought it in any capacity, I am sure I’ve heard that sentiment about the ‘beer’ way back in it’s heyday, as well. I’m just in it for the accent.

          We’re kind of getting away from the point that how long it takes to drive somewhere has zero to do with whether you lock your door.

            oh I might disagree believe leaving doors unlocked is more common when the nearest neighbor is a mile and a half away but maybe I’m wrong

            Kind of? Its a discussion about the size of the United States, and how it is impossible to speak for the entirety. I won’t give you a play by play on the posts you just read, but it is all relevant to the discussion at hand.

            the drive time was to illustrate scale.

            While it doesn’t matter how big a whale is vs a microbe, you can’t put a whale under a normal microscope, thus the distinction is relevant.
