I need help calibrating my TV

As of the 2011 national census 26% of the population were born overseas, 40% of people born in Australia had at least 1 parent born overseas.

If they are white, it doesn't count. All European culture, outside of Turkey if we are going to split that hair, is lumped together for both cultural and ethnic reasons. There isn't anything close to the difference between the Euro centric cultures to make a compelling argument against doing it that way, at least, not for anyone that has actually been exposed to a wide variety of cultures.

We most certainly are not barbarians down here, I know nothing about the sterilization case Ben brings up, what I can tell though is that those who did it will be found to have not had permission from our government to do what they did in the fullness of time.

It is not against the law in Australia, it is against the law here(and in every civilized nation that I am aware of). People do bad things the world over, when you have a country that doesn't make it illegal, that implies a level of complicity. 

Ben as an  American has no room to point the finger here - the USA has done the same and worse to their natives!

And if SickBeast were bringing up the human rights issues, I'd simply say- you got us there, no argument, next- Australia is rather impressive with the tiny population versus the atrocities it has committed.

The legality is all the difference in the world. That's why your nation is being investigated under the grounds of torture by the UN.

So shove that in your hillbilly smoking pipe and have a good toke on it Ben, you ignorant American fuckwit!

I live in the nation with the most powerful economy in the world, a nation that is supposedly blind to all the things that happen anywhere outside of our borders, and yet it appears I am better informed on the politics of your nation than you are in this instance. Honestly Australia seems like a very nice place, I likely will take a vacation there at some point(probably spent about a total of six months inside of the Canadian border)- but don't confuse things. The big difference in the US versus most other countries is we put our skeletons on fucking billboards and shout about them from the rooftops, not bury them in closets like most nations do. Really, SickBeast could beat other of us stupid with this topic- we can beat each other stupid- both of our countries have atrocious human rights records(outside of Canada's disproportionate native incarceration rate they are about as clean as it gets). 

Don't even get me started on how much cheaper prescription drugs are here compared to the USA.

That is actually a great topic to get into. 

Would you consider this fair?

I truly want to get your perspective on the advantages of the Canadian model.

The advantages of the Canadian model are that normal people can afford the drugs. Look at it this way, either they can sell 1,000 prescriptions to millionaires in the USA or they can sell millions of prescriptions to normal people. They will take in the same amount of money in both scenarios, except in Canada millions of people will be cured rather than a handful of really wealthy people.
