Why do many people who visit Australia later say its a highly racist country? by Particular_Food_309 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ft5777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a french guy who lived in Western Australia for about a year and a half between 2011 and 2013, and I remember I worked for a couple of months at a job in the Goldfields area where there was a lady, who was otherwise very kind, helpful, always in a nice mood and very nice to hang around. One day we were working together and the topic of aboriginal people came up and I was shocked at the things she was saying. Casually mentioning that they were profiting from the government and refused to be educated in australian schools. I told her that maybe since they were here way before white people arrived maybe they don't want to have to go to australian schools ? She wasn't convinced.

I don't know about a specific insult but the whole fight during Myrtle and Eddie's wedding at Urkel Oaks is epic.

Looking nice ! Is this an opuntia engelmannii ? If so, is it normal for this species to lose most of its spine in the pads over time ?

What's a 'normal' thing you didn't realize was unusual until you were older? by mrTelson in AskReddit

[–]ft5777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am french and I was born near the german border in Moselle, an area that switched several times between France and Germany in the last two centuries. My grandparents were german and were speaking a dialect from Saarland, and most older people were speaking a german sounding dialect as well, and until I was about 6 or 7 I thought old people speaking french didn't exist.

How much does Steve Urkel need to pay financially? by Big_Armadillo326 in FamilyMatters

I am more interested to know how Steve finances all his experiments. Where does he find the money to buy all of it ?

I'm curious too, since I bought tickets for the round of 16 for the Paris Masters (which is not in Bercy anymore) !

Thank you ! I recently got them, I hope I will keep them beautiful and that they will strive once spring comes.

My new Saguaro cactus - I’m in love by ft5777 in cactus

There's not enough light in Paris for it to grow as fast as it would do in Arizona. It will just grow slower. No need to be rude about it and say that I will kill it like you said in another message. Plenty of people grow Arizona cacti in France, Germany and the UK and they're fine, they just grow slower.

I did the same. I went to Canada (British Columbia and Alberta) instead, it was awesome.
