STFU...

Mac spends his time being a partisan pompous arse on the boards and he clearly can't handle some light ribbing...

How many times are we treated to his "sky is falling" and your countries are next posts?

Hey, I'll admit I'm a Cassandra. But your Prezzie just declared National Loyalty Day, publically stated that the Constitution is archaic, and is now kissing up to the Butcher of the Phillipines. Meanwhile, my president is setting the dogs on anyone who sticks their noses in the streets while he oversees the dismantling of our constitution. My salary is frozen for 20 years by constitutional ammendment and even supreme court justices are being assassinated.

So this isn't the "OMG, Obama is a seekrit Muzlim who's a'gonna take our gunz!" Style paranoia your buddies on the right love to engage in. It's a fairly well-informed look at the world.

When the Cheeto gets his Tonkin Gulf Resolution, I'll be sure to remind you about how I'm ridiculously paranoid, Condi.

As for advice, you haven't given Any, but since you're casting yourself as the voice of reason and experience, Condi, maybe you'd like to tell me how I am to get an 80 year old retiree and an 18 year old niece out of the country and over to, say, Canada? Because neither Britain or the U.S. will allow it, thanks to folks like you.

Of course, I guess I coukd tell the people who depend on me to piss up a rope, in good, patriotic American style. I mean, shit, if the U.S. Army can flip the big bird to the translators who fight and die for it, why should I bive a fuck about the people I care for?

So, advice, Condi? Advice that is actually useful and practical? Or are you just farting out of your ignorant mouth again?

I have no clue on demand for Academics or whatnot

Problem is that its cold, boring and boring.

Australia might at least send you on a nice holiday to Nauru.

IIRC Hobbitland allows a wopping 300 Brazilians under the age of 30 in under the working holiday visa. Australia, which actually has a tertiary education system is a far more attractive option. Judging by attendance at our annual Festa Junina there must be triple that number in Melbourne alone and Melb is well down the preferred list of places for Brazilians wish to stay, most of them head for Sydney or the fucking Gold Coast, which makes sense cos if you want a decent facsimile of Barra di Tijuca then the wasteland that is the Gold Coast is unbeatable.

Here, the Libs are nuking 457 visas or a chunk of them to placate the Hansonites. Weird cos the biggest visa problem in Oz is the explotation of foreigners on student visas.
