What makes you think I said Australia was a land of redneck bandits? That idea

is entirely your own. I was just passing on what I thought was a warning to be

Before you get angry at someone, try to make sure you know what it is that makes

you angry.

Immortality exists!

It's called knowledge!

doesn't mean it's not there<>
