"Awesome. This is could actually be it."

"oh yeah and TONS of middle aged 'normal' people in their 40's have machetes and the like from back in their good old teen years, kept to deter robbers. Actually I can name three in my street, but I won't becuase they deserve their privacy. They know they're illlegal, but they don't really care. (Actually, I think they're jsut restricted; will have to check up) :)"

"Definitely the most valuable reply yet :)
We mostly either like/hate/tolerate your accents, depending on what country you're from. Probably not a very useful remark, but completely true. The best thing about the USA is that way more people are armed to the teeth, while over in AUS only six of my friends even own firearms let alone stockpile them :) actually one does stockpile them, but he's kinda redneck :) However, what a lot of people overlook, is the extremely large amount of farmers that Australia has that don't even know firearm licenses exist!!! One of my fathers friends possesed 27 illegal semiautomatic centrefire and 12 guage firearms (out of 49 longarms), but didn't even know that you need a special permit for them let alone a license. I could list more people I know )farmers and the like) who have just discovered their family inherited firearm is illegal, but the honest truth is there are still plenty of people who own illegal firearms that didn't hand them back in the buyback because they like them too much, and still continue to use them illegally. From peacemakers to 10 gauges and .45 revolvers there is PLENTY of hidden pre-buyback firepower :) The future isn't all that gloomy afterall!"

"Hi there ZSDW, have read a local news paper today containing a small report on a police incident in rural/suburban Victoria Aus. Wondering where to report to... Anyways here's the story, probably not a case of outbreak :) Two police officers responded to calls for help from a neighbour reporting that a woman had injured herself on a glass window. (trying to get in/out?) When the two police arrived at the scene the woman proceeded to assault them wildly, biting and clawing at them, 8 police offcers were called in for support as the womans ENTIRE family attacked the two officers for NO reason: they were there to try and help! The article only made a small column in a local newspaper (sun/addy not sure) as of Mon 28th of December. Question: Why would a woman and her entire family attack AIDING police officers unprovoked, causing enough trouble for the 2 police officers to request a backup of 8 officers to subdue ONE family!!! Pretty random and retarded huh?"

"Are you uh... *cough*... sellin'?

Lucky Aussies! I wish I live in Australia."

"Im just letting everyone know that I am not putting down opinions or hopes that this could be real (who would hope for that?). But in cases of using certain drugs such as meth, LSD, etc, the person can witness hallucinations and thus attack officers thinking they are there trying to kill them. Often the subjects have AIDS or HIV and know prior to the attack and use it as a weapon by biting the officers. They also have enormous strength due to the effects of the drugs in their system. So I think this was just a meth'd out Aussie nothing to worry about."

"22,355 km, about 55 day trip.
