When I was 18 I went to bootcamp for 8 weeks. And I sat in jail for 7 days until the program started. Jail was really boring. You will lose a lot of weight as your last meal is at 5pm leaving you starving rest of day (breakfast: 5am, lunch: 11am, dinner: 5pm).

Why are Americans the only ones with a sense of humor about other countries? When did the Western Countries get so pucker lipped about attacking other Western Countries?
I see that it keeps us on our toes and open to change, all well and good. But, US, UK, AU, most of the EU and CAN have waaaay more in common than the rest of the world.
Stick together, our 'liberal' policies of helping the poor and disenfranchised (compared to the rest of the world) is one of our defining hallmarks, etc etc.
I know a few people that have done some time, mostly county. Spent a month in county as well. Wasn't fun. The other people are the worst part of it.

Georgia did start out as one though. That is up for debate. A more exact term would be a debtors colony.

No we were not taught that in school. I heard it somewhere and decided to look it up because i thought it would be pretty funny if true. And not all of australia had prison colonies. Large potions of land was given to free citizens that sailed out on there own free will. South australia had no prison colonies at all
Ok maybe not a prison colony but the english and the french did build prisons in America and send there prisoners to these prison.

If you're not on the UN Security Council, you don't matter. If you don't have nukes, you don't matter. If you still worship the queen, you don't matter.
The only things Australia has provided worth noting in the last 100 years is the crocodile hunter, crocodile Dundee, and changa.
America drove a fucking car on the moon.
Until you drive a car on the moon your country is shit.

All countries crumble. It isn't about the country. It is about the people within that country. The American people have created a great nation, and when that nation fails, as all nations do, they'll rise above and create another great nation.
