This book provides a thorough, clear and concise explanation of the real problem we face it is not a heart attack or stroke. The real problem is the modern pharmaceutical industry. For many, these drugs are the beginning of a viscous cycle of drug dependency. If you're sick or being sick and sick of taking drugs, this is the book you need to arm yourself with to change that!

For fucks sake. Yea, we make people sick on purpose so we can make billions of dollars profit. AIDS was caused by pharma companies, Elvis was abducted by aliens, we didn't land on the moon, 911 was the governments fault and the Illuminati rule the world.

Obviously he is right, he tried that shit on his first wife

Question for all the kiwis:

what's your favorite part about living in Australia? Anything in specific? I don't know if y'all have had a chance to live anywhere else for a comparison.

Don't even know where to begin to answer that question.
Lifestyle is also a major draw card, Australia in pockets is very multicultural, so you dont have to be an anglo-saxon to fit in (don't get me wrong there are still large amounts of the population who are racist).
We also have a very laid back lifestyle, really outdoors especially in summer. Lots of cafes, restaurants, bars and clubs.
Health care is very good, don't have to pay for much of it, government pays a huge portion of it, therefore we all have to pay a small amount in our taxes. Education is also good, obviously if you are wanting exclusive schools you will have to pay more $$. University is also easily accessible and you don't have to pay your school fees until you earn over a certain amount per year after graduating.
It's pretty easy to get jobs and if you know how to, can be easy to climb the corporate ladder.
Crime rate is relatively low (major crimes).

Didn't that transgender guy move back to Israel because he couldn't get a job?

You have to be fairly fucking shit at life if you struggle for so long to find a job in Australia, then again Adelaide is a hole so it's not too surprising.

The only way you would struggle is if you were too fussy.

sounds good to me!

That was actually a very good answer by Jolz, I don't think there's much I would add to it.

The lifestyle is the biggest one for me. I just love how fucking chilled out and relaxed things are here.

Lol, yeah I know exactly what you mean. Christmas time cooped up indoors just seemed so wrong when I was in the UK/EU. It should be outdoor BBQ'ing time!

I absolutely love cold weather, but sometime I just wonder if that's a by-product of living through Brisbane summers, with that fucking shit humidity. That said, it was 15C today up here, and I was wearing a beanie
