David_1, you don't live here. You don't interact with the poor here. You didn't grow up in the United States and see your society change. You aren't hearing about the rise of armed militias in my country. You don't have personal friends that you interact on a daily basis, who have lost faith in finding legitimate jobs or were recently laid off when the compulsory mandate came down. You aren't watching as our IRS is discriminating against citizens, or have the NSA archiving information and claiming that it isn't spying because they haven't looked at what is fully in the archive yet. You aren't hearing friends and family fear that it may come to open rebellion in our country. I, however, have dealt with everyone of these things. Until you come to my country and walk in my shoes, don't you dare call me a liar! I don't judge Australia, nor do I wish to. I don't know your people. I would love to come and visit Australia, and come to know your peoples, but never would I tell you that you are lying about your country, because I have no first hand knowledge, only what I may see in the news, and that is not enough for me to say anything about your views.
