I'd say it's probably more a case of can't than won't.

Referring to your other post, I can actually take constructive criticism like the majority of people but when some buffoon does literally nothing but berate the country he lives in, then there's a problem. What, do you think your ramblings are suddenly going to change the course of the country or change people's minds about it? Do you expect the average citizen of a country that you're constantly criticizing is just going to agree with you every time because people falsely equate criticism with being intelligent? Each one of your posts has to include some sort of negative comment about Australia, that's what is sad. This goes beyond debate and playing the devil's advocate, you genuinely dislike it here but you won't leave.
You've been counting your brain cells? Well at least you arrived at a number exceeding two. Same number of degrees you claim to have? Extraordinary. Are you sure though you are not exaggerating? Evidence, sadly is not exactly forthcoming. I don't give a fig what you claim to have or not have. It's a forum, where anyone can claim whatever. I only go on the measurement of the standard of post you place on here. One thing I know. My ramblings on here are sure going to yank your chain, to such an extent that you respond with a post as above. What I do note of course is another failure to actually tackle the 'erroneous nature' of posts you find so anti Australian which leads one to believe the reason being you are unable to articulate disagreement so by proxy actually agree with so accused ramblings.

Or more a case of parting with wisdom and assistance to some of the obviously confused and deficient mind sets out there struggling with coherent thought.

What is extraordinary is that you think I am agreeing with you 'by proxy'. Not sure where you're getting that from. Only reason I mentioned my degrees is because you claimed that I had inferior intelligence due to not agreeing with you.

Your standard of posts never change as it is always the same rambling jargon, much of which doesn't even flow in a proper sentence. I have reasonable posts and then posts replying to you, because you're begging for a different response. You got what you want for your 10 seconds of enjoyment but I'm willing to bet more people are on my side.

Finally, if you want to see your anti australian posts, just go through your own search history. Stop pretending.

Please don't agree with me, just formulate the ability to be able to forward an argument supporting why your theory is the right one and mine is wrong. Was the hump raised due to the obvious observation, to which few would deny, that Australia is not an intellectual nation? Fact is it isn't. Your spiel on all people being the same, was obviously totally Year 9 at best level of argument. It is not the same with historical, cultural and lingual aspects all contributing towards very different educational outcomes.
The ability to critique appears largely absent with Australians, unlike Europeans which means being able to view the faults and listening to outside views on observations and experiences and findings without becoming overly defensive and derisive while claiming to have an education, one can only wonder just what that alleged education was actually in aid off, if not to teach how to think and be open to opposing views. Surely should be something other than just being another clog on the conveyor belt towards earning a living?
All such things such as intellectual tardiness do indeed make Australia a tiring place for inquisitive minds unless surrounded by at least a few like minded people.
Ice melting of the Alps in Spring I realise but no matter .

I think if someone actually agrees with you one day your brain will explode.

That would indeed be unfortunate. The mess would be traumatic to say the least for those left to recover the pieces. While I guess two point five brain cells on own reckoning would hardly leave a mark.

If troubadour really hates Australia and wants to leave, I would be happy to take his place and I am sure many many others from across the globe would.

I'd be sorry to see you leave and I'd wish you well, but please just do NOT exchange places with that blowhard, okay?

I doubt Canada would be "sophisticated" enough for him. Only certain areas of Europe will do.
