Hmmm, if Dean-Melbourne, as represented in the above image has electricity to run his computer, how come he uses a candle as opposed to a regular electric light?

Maybe because Arnold has a proven interest in not only America, but California as well, mentioning in his books about being impressed with California when he first moved there in the 1960's to compete for Mr. Universe... Not to mention he was an iconic actor in Hollywood, so in a way he might be more "culturally-Californian" than the average Californian resident.

I think the answer lies in the fact you spend way too much time posting about the weather.

He's in California and he's a movie star. During the presidential elections many Americans were questioning where Obama's allegiances lay. How could someone with the name 'Hussein' NOT be a terrorist?

I do realise they are far and away the ignorant exception.

But I do agree, accent isn't really a big deal there anymore.

Thanks to King O'Malley. A supposedly American-born member of the ALP, who changed the spelling of Labour to "Labor".

O'Malley pushed for the 'American' spelling to become widespread, but the Australian Labor Party is the only example, of labour being officially spelt without a 'u'.

I couldn't care less where Kristina Kenneally might be from?, or what accent she speaks? As long as she can do her job and make a farily decent premier for NSW.

so therefore you stare at your computer screen with a candle for company. Fair enough then.

I'd rather be a "crybaby girl" than an insecure little tard with a micropenis who has nothing better to do than to troll an internet forum. Is this supposed to compensate for your micropenis, all these attempts at being big and hard to a bunch of guys you've never even met?

So just from a quick look at your past posts you do nothing but bag the hell out the weather here and of course being the racist you are you can't stand that there so many Asians in Melbourne. (Melbourne is 50% Asian according to you)

So i'll ask you again. Because you're a whole lot contradictions. Why are you still here? If you hate other races so much and you think the weather is so ****, why haven't you moved?
