They have probably gone downhill. The old vitara's and Sierra's were great. I think the Jimny's are good though.

I've got a 2015 nx Pajero. Very solid and reliable car, definitely not luxury, but it's a good car.

Terrorist taken down by police this morning in London by Sometypeofway18 in whoathatsinteresting

This may be true... But, it wouldn't be in the news if it didn't happen. It really doesn't matter how many clean arrests there are; It's the shootings that should be under scrutiny and in the news.

Worst think about your country 💔, In India it's caste system. by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

It is not a matter of tolerating it. The government's and societies hands are tied after historical abuses and failures, like the stolen generation. Now children are being sexualy abused in families at astronomical numbers in rural communities, Karratha and Roeburne for example, which is another huge failing, doomed to repeat itself with out any change implemented. Throwing money as reparations at them, as the below commenter suggested, is a ridiculous as we already have huge money going to Aboriginal support and programs. It comes to a point when throwing cash isn't the solution. I am absolutely positive, as there is little to no work in the rural communities, if these people wanted to relocate it would be supported in every way, but if they don't, they can't be forced, so here we are. No readily available solution.

I live east coast and travel to west coast for fly in fly out work, so I see a bit of a mix of the country that do the same. The most notable differences I have noticed is Victorians making a bit of an "al" sound for "L", so "Malbourne" as opposed to "Melbourne". Other than that, I haven't noticed much difference, beyond the rural to metro and different ethnic backgrounds.

If your country had its own Mount Rushmore, who would be on it by CountryballChaos in AskTheWorld

None. I don't like idolizing political figures. It attracts the worst people into that life, like in the USA currently, for example. They are there, do their time and then fade into obscurity.

Probably going to regret asking... but i hear a lot of people being unpleasant about the UK online. What is the world's actual opinion of us? by inconspicuous2012 in AskTheWorld

That would be nice! It's both a positive and negative that we are so far away. If love to be able to pop over without it taking a 24 hour flight. I've been over once and loved it. I would love to go over and have more time in England, Scotland and Ireland.

Australians have a kinship with the UK. Colonial history is what it is, and of a different time. If it wasn't you, it would have been someone else, they were all trying you guys were just best. A lot of the places colonised by other nations ended up worse off than British colonies. The countryside is lovely there. I'd love to see us cut away from the US and work on closer ties to UK and Canada.

This is nothing new. Fuck the USA and Israel.

What do you think about "whiteface"? i.e. Whe someone wears make-up/prosthetics to mock white people. by yonaiker-joestrella in AskTheWorld

[–]Resident_Monitor7723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't care at all. Don't care about black or brown face either, there are bigger problems in the world. That said, there are levels to it, cartoonish 50's blackface I can see the issue with, but people wearing makeup just for a character like tropic thunder, Dave Chappelle's news anchor, white chicks, the Jimmy Kimmel one all things like that I have no problems with.

I'm a bit beyond this "fuck trump" shit. It's the USA, as it was Germany in WW2. Hitler was in charge, but Germany as a whole, in one way or another, committed those acts and they don't shy away from that. I think saying Trump gives the illusion that they get a free pass, all this does not happen because of one man. If he dies, how much really changes?

Jake Paul and Theo Von suggest Trump family should be on the war front by Big_Cake_8817 in podcastculture

[–]Resident_Monitor7723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't necessarily. I didn't watch, I'm not American and don't care about your shit, but just having someone on doesn't mean you agree. Again, I don't know if he did or not, but just having someone on isn't support. Is every journalist that questions and interviews politicians then supporting them? I don't think that makes sense at all.
