I'm neither proud or ashamed to have not had a homosexual encounter.

Am I a convict just because one of my great great great great grandfather/grandmother came to this land in shackles aboard a rat-infested ship of the First Fleet? I think not.

Besides, not all Australians have ancestors who came as convicts. While I almost certainly have ancestors who were convicts, most of my heritage is from people who came as free settlers from mainland Europe. You can't say we're all convicts, especially since there was a massive inundation of free settlers from not just England, but many other parts of Europe during the 19th Century.



Back on topic, 17 or so percent of people according to this 'survey' hardly makes our country completely gay, even in comparison to the rest of the world. Especially since only about 150 000 people took part in this survey vs. our entire population of approx. 19-20 million. Statistics are after all one of the three main types of lies. Especially when only a small few are sampled.

Unless the country were to become a brutal Orwellian police state devoid of personal privacy, there would be absolutely no way of knowing these kinds of 'facts' for sure. Especially the other so-called 'facts' in this survey involving virtual sex, fake orgasms, etc. Not everyone has the guts to admit to it.

One of my favourite jokes of all time by Alexi Sayle.

I was at immigration in Australia and they asked me if I had a criminal record. I said I didn't know you still needed one.

It's got whiskers on it, but it's still funny. However, it's not quite up there with the Revells joke IMHO.

Can you see the menu and just not click on it or is the whole menu missing?

You can't remember that a colon and a close-bracket is the symbol for a smile? Or that a semi-colon and a close-bracket is a wink?

How long have you been on the internet?

If you're using IE and hover your mouse over the pictures on the menu doesn't the code appear at the bottom of the browser where the link URL text usually goes?

Oh well. It does on mine. I guess it just displays some kind of javascript error message or icon on yours then.
