Hamster behavior can vary depending on their environment, genetics, and interaction with people. Because they are easy to breed in captivity, hamsters are often used as lab animals in more economically developed countries. Hamsters have also become established as popular small house pets.

Fake vid or not...Downer is a war criminal along with Howard, Ruddock and the other collaborators that formed the coalition of the willing. Get them to the Hague pronto!
@Seigu007 Sigh.. If it was actually real it would be saying alot. Unfourtunatly its just a fake where he's edited in pictures of Downer being so it appears as if he isn't saying anything. I understand that if he wasn't saying anything it would be very meaningful but as much as you hate this guy it's still fake...
@Seigu007 Of course it's fucking fake. Who in their right mind would think this was anything but a nice little bit of comedy editing? If Downer had sat there mute it would have been a huge story. See if you can find it online.
Labor should not have power, the system of preference voting with the Greens being able to pass votes onto Labor is essentially voting twice from people who vote Green. This is undemocratic and needs to end. One vote should remain as one vote, end of argument. If this were the case the Coalition would have wiped out Labor, with over 400,000 more people voting for them instead of Labor. Only for the Greens, Labor would be well and truly dead. Labor MUST forfeit power on principle.
@Soundgarden8497 That's bullshit and you know it. What it means is that those who vote for minor parties don't completely waste their vote when they do so. Why don't we have a system like most of the rest of the world, where we have to have polls 4 or 5 times to get a result? Grow a brain you conservative dick head.
@champion32panel hello fuckwit. and it's your logic which has got the country in the stalemate predicament it's currently in, because too many ill informed dumbarses like you have 2 bob each way, instead of just voting for ONE party that you think deserves to govern. most other countries don't have this preferred bullshit, because it's cheating.
@Soundgarden8497 I don't call having a government stalemate. Wrong again loser. If you think that preferential voting is cheating, or voting twice, then i more than welcome you voting Greens next time. I dare ya.
i like that all you spastics are getting upset about this... good job nirywa, pissing off liberal voters gets a thumbs up from me....... ps, if you're a liberal voter, please kill yourself
You know that people are so boneheaded that they will think this is real. The sad part is that the people who DO think it's real are actually CHOOSING to click on it, which suggests they have (or believe they have) at least a passing engagement with politics and the political process. That's the scariest bit. I was going to suggest that you flag a vid like this with 'satire' or 'spoof' but no...you're right to show them up for the waterheaded fools they are.
Australia is ruled by a single party, the big business party. It has two factions, the ALP and the Coalition. Vote Socialist Alliance No.1 and end the two faction single party dictatorship!!
well if you cant tell the difference between the accents, read the video information to see which country the minister for foreign affairs is actually from.
well if you cant tell the difference between the accents, read the video information to see which country the minister for foreign affairs is actually from.
One of the things about Adelaide is that it isn't uncommon, or wasn't uncommon in the 70s and 80s to find a variety of different accents among the local population, not even visitors. It's a mark of social standing or class. You don't get that in somewhere like Brisbane, or only very marginally. They also take English classes at school a lot more seriously in Adelaide than a lot of other places. It's a sign of an educated mind.
Yeah, I'm from Adelaide and we say "grahnt" instead of "grarnt" and "stahnce" instead of "starnce", but only old-money ponces talk like Alexander Downer
Super fake posted by a SCIENTOLOGY maggot. No doubt smarting over the declaration that Scientology is a dangerous cult. Tick tock Mr. Miscarriage, tick tock. We do not forget, we do not forgive, expect us.
He's from Adelaide. They have a more British accent there, and have a much greater percentage of people from Southern England than other Australian capitals.
@Mollarooza They do have an accent. I was born there in the early 70s and grew up there till the late 80s. When I went back over the years, I noticed it every time and I regularly spot the accent all the time.
I'm not an expert on accents but I would say it sit somewhere between a standard Southern Australian accent (i.e. Melbourne area) and a New Zealand accent. NZ and Adelaide were originally settled by the same migration company from England - they seem to have preferenced people from certain areas (Southern England). Funnily enough, I''m a lot more at home in NZ where I have been twice in the last few years than in Brisbane where I've lived for over 25 years. They are very different cultures.
@avidalocan Alex went to school in England for a few years when his father was there as a diplomat or some such which may have caused him to have an accent which is not common in australia.

They're all the same... They're all a pack of immature pseudo intellectuals throwing out half baked ideas in an attempt to grab peoples attention... nothing more.
Are you serious, you obsequious child? That's the best you have for getting off how much of servile, kowtowing little shit you are? How is "yeah" and "arse-kissing", which have much more sketchy origins, as blatantly obvious as you saying "dumbass" and "dude"?
Or are just too thick to figure that out, wanker?
@AidanMclaren On a side note, how am I being obsequious? You wouldn't happen to be throwing in one of the longest words you know gratuitously in order to appear more clever than you believe you are, would you? Oh dear... *big hug for the big angry guy* !
This is so quaint! You trying to act intelligent and throw your own pathetic nature onto me! Yes, I know what obsequious meant before I typed it down; it's describing your fawning nature.
You want to know why I called you out? Because I can't stand it that the English, and we Australians, want to be like Americans. We want to talk and act like them to the brink of insanity. I am an angry man, yes. Tell me: Do your enjoy your anti-intellectual attitude to the world?
@AidanMclaren I've only got a couple of things to respond with. One is that you utilise an enormous amount American products every single day, I don't know why you're so worried about a few chosen words. Remember that the English language has been the largest and most expanding language for probably centuries, and that's a good thing. Second of all, you have used the phrase "anti-intellectual attitude to the world" for a reason that I genuinely cannot fathom. So please explain. Thanks.
Really? So could you perhaps explain as to why Americans hardly, if ever, use British/Commonwealth slang compared to vice-versa? I think it's kind of obvious this has nothing to do with the English language (which in my opinion is a terrible language) expanding, but rather that people feel that talking like something other than an American makes you feel like an outsider.
I don't think using the word "ass" to mean anything other than a donkey is a good thing, actually.
As for the comment you pointed out? You are an anti-intellectual because you praise immaturity and philistine values to life (Such as your suggestion that "we use a lot of American things, so to hell with it, let's cast our lot in with them!!!"), and then you attempt to make yourself look cool whilst doing so.
Well, mate (Or should I say "dude"?), do you care in the slightest that we're basically pawns of the USA?
@AidanMclaren You're comment about being anti-intellectual - and therefore suggesting I might celebrate ignorance - is founded on nothing at all and, ironically, makes you seem like the type of person that is very presumptuous, and therefore very ignorant. Ironic indeed after your comments! If you don't understand basic international economics and the fact that we all use products from other countries, then you're deeply naive.
That wasn't my point. My point was: You use the excuse that people across the world use things from other countries to excuse yourself being an American wannabe. And you knew exactly what I was talking about; hence your desperate response that "yeah" and "arse-kissing" was American so you could alleviate your guilt.
@AidanMclaren As for the use of an American term being tantamount to praising philistine values, I have to pick you up twice. Firstly, I barely need to point out that saying the word "dude" does not make you a philistine, particuilarly when so many people in the high end of the art world (philistine usually refering to ignorance of the arts), use it. Second of all, since when did the philistine communty have a value system? By definition it's a lack of something, not a posession of something.
A possession of the philosophy that childishness protects their mind from reality which most people have - that's what you value. I regard your use of the word "dude", when you are not an American, as a sign of your desperate need to fit in with our increasingly Americanised world, not necessarily a sign of anti-intellectualism. But what is anti-intellectual is your obvious like of a culture that praises stupidity and childishness and your callousness regarding that.
And don't say you don't subscribe to it either. You know your original comment made you come off as though you were not from the UK. I never said "dude" or "dumbass" when I was younger, and Australia is even more Americanised than the UK.
@AidanMclaren I use the word dude fairly often, I have no intention of retracting that, it's not even serious, semi-ironic, but i have no interest in explaining this to you. I, and you, also use the internet, watch movies and do a host of things that originate from America. This does not make either you or I "American wannabes". You have made fantasticle assumptions based on the use of one single word, which is worrying.
But you go the extend of actually talking like one, which is a step over simply using American things, and you know that. You use a lot of things that were developed in France, Italy and Germany too, and I bet you don't throw French, German and Italian words into your English (Apart from the ones that were a part of English since the Normans took over England), do you?
I don't ask you to retract it, I'm simply angry that you do use it.
@AidanMclaren YES I DO use a lot of words from those countires that aren't now fully common or recognised. I said that in capitols because I'm finding your presumptious nature highly frustrating.
@thesethreekings Like what words...? And what you do you mean "fully common or recognised"? Those countries I mentioned aren't short of famous around the world.
Presumptuous, but not necessarily incorrect about you I feel. You're not the first I've seen.
@thesethreekings "like what words?" so predictable. I'm not going to write a list so you can improve your vocabulary.
"I bet you don't throw French, German and Italian words into your English (Apart from the ones that were a part of English since the Normans took over England),"
That's the words I mean to answer your question.
I've made no judgement on you, except that you're presumptious- that is what i have observed first hand. You've made unfounded judgements about me-rediculous.
Neo-con acolyte - he jumped ship after he'd sucked so much yankee neo-con ass that he needed income support to afford all the new hankies to wipe his face clean from all the Dick Cheny poo - a dead set traitor of Australian interests
Seriously - if you had to rely on film production skills to realise that a then senior Minister did not get away with not talking to the nation's most senior television journalist during prime-time... you're looking too closely at the production, and not at the content.
This was factual, the useless shit Downer just sat there and refused to talk, he knew the Liberals were out on their arses in the forthcoming elections so he proved to all, the truth, that he's a miserable bit of excrement.
Looked like he did a raspberry, have a look at the lamebrained silverspoon, I did see the embarassing drongo and hopefully for the last time, except I do miss his stockings episodes they really turn me on.
and downer is a whole lot better then labor's whatitsface who's the new foreign affairs minister. he looks stiff as a board - scared he's going to say anything ruddy wont like.
thats concerning for a foreign affairs minister.
oh very funny the fiberal party. still nothing can trump queensland labor who have actually made lying to parliament fucking LEGAL.
btw on the subject of lying pollies rudd seems to have set the record of lying even before he got into government.
remember his little mournful tale of being thrown of the farm as a child?
mother fucking bullshit and the lying bastard tarnished the reputation of the farmer who owned the land. they would have sued the bastard if theyd had the money
Here we go, a disgruntled fiberal, no trough to feed from? There is no doubt that Rudd's family was in an impoverished situation, what circumstances that entailed would be difficult for a young boy's memory to detail exactly, they did leave the farm after his father's death and after 13 years of service and I'm sure the farmer needed an able bodied worker rather than a fatherless family.
Stupid. You've said nothing and some people will thing this edited travesty actually occurred.

You want to know why I called you out? Because I can't stand it that the English, and we Australians, want to be like Americans. We want to talk and act like them to the brink of insanity. I am an angry man, yes. Tell me: Do your enjoy your anti-intellectual attitude to the world?

@AidanMclaren I've only got a couple of things to respond with. One is that you utilise an enormous amount American products every single day, I don't know why you're so worried about a few chosen words. Remember that the English language has been the largest and most expanding language for probably centuries, and that's a good thing. Second of all, you have used the phrase "anti-intellectual attitude to the world" for a reason that I genuinely cannot fathom. So please explain. Thanks.

Really? So could you perhaps explain as to why Americans hardly, if ever, use British/Commonwealth slang compared to vice-versa? I think it's kind of obvious this has nothing to do with the English language (which in my opinion is a terrible language) expanding, but rather that people feel that talking like something other than an American makes you feel like an outsider.
I don't think using the word "ass" to mean anything other than a donkey is a good thing, actually.

As for the comment you pointed out? You are an anti-intellectual because you praise immaturity and philistine values to life (Such as your suggestion that "we use a lot of American things, so to hell with it, let's cast our lot in with them!!!"), and then you attempt to make yourself look cool whilst doing so.
Well, mate (Or should I say "dude"?), do you care in the slightest that we're basically pawns of the USA?

@AidanMclaren You're comment about being anti-intellectual - and therefore suggesting I might celebrate ignorance - is founded on nothing at all and, ironically, makes you seem like the type of person that is very presumptuous, and therefore very ignorant. Ironic indeed after your comments! If you don't understand basic international economics and the fact that we all use products from other countries, then you're deeply naive.

@thesethreekings
That wasn't my point. My point was: You use the excuse that people across the world use things from other countries to excuse yourself being an American wannabe. And you knew exactly what I was talking about; hence your desperate response that "yeah" and "arse-kissing" was American so you could alleviate your guilt.
AidanMclaren 1 year ago
@AidanMclaren As for the use of an American term being tantamount to praising philistine values, I have to pick you up twice. Firstly, I barely need to point out that saying the word "dude" does not make you a philistine, particuilarly when so many people in the high end of the art world (philistine usually refering to ignorance of the arts), use it. Second of all, since when did the philistine communty have a value system? By definition it's a lack of something, not a posession of something.

@thesethreekings
A possession of the philosophy that childishness protects their mind from reality which most people have - that's what you value. I regard your use of the word "dude", when you are not an American, as a sign of your desperate need to fit in with our increasingly Americanised world, not necessarily a sign of anti-intellectualism. But what is anti-intellectual is your obvious like of a culture that praises stupidity and childishness and your callousness regarding that.

@thesethreekings
And don't say you don't subscribe to it either. You know your original comment made you come off as though you were not from the UK. I never said "dude" or "dumbass" when I was younger, and Australia is even more Americanised than the UK.
AidanMclaren 1 year ago
@AidanMclaren I use the word dude fairly often, I have no intention of retracting that, it's not even serious, semi-ironic, but i have no interest in explaining this to you. I, and you, also use the internet, watch movies and do a host of things that originate from America. This does not make either you or I "American wannabes". You have made fantasticle assumptions based on the use of one single word, which is worrying.

@thesethreekings
But you go the extend of actually talking like one, which is a step over simply using American things, and you know that. You use a lot of things that were developed in France, Italy and Germany too, and I bet you don't throw French, German and Italian words into your English (Apart from the ones that were a part of English since the Normans took over England), do you?
I don't ask you to retract it, I'm simply angry that you do use it.
AidanMclaren 1 year ago
@AidanMclaren YES I DO use a lot of words from those countires that aren't now fully common or recognised. I said that in capitols because I'm finding your presumptious nature highly frustrating.
thesethreekings 1 year ago
@thesethreekings Like what words...? And what you do you mean "fully common or recognised"? Those countries I mentioned aren't short of famous around the world.
Presumptuous, but not necessarily incorrect about you I feel. You're not the first I've seen.
AidanMclaren 1 year ago
@thesethreekings "like what words?" so predictable. I'm not going to write a list so you can improve your vocabulary.
"I bet you don't throw French, German and Italian words into your English (Apart from the ones that were a part of English since the Normans took over England),"
That's the words I mean to answer your question.
I've made no judgement on you, except that you're presumptious- that is what i have observed first hand. You've made unfounded judgements about me-rediculous.

Seriously - if you had to rely on film production skills to realise that a then senior Minister did not get away with not talking to the nation's most senior television journalist during prime-time... you're looking too closely at the production, and not at the content.

In 1970 it took 151 times (or nearly three years ) of the average adult weekly wage of $65.40 to buy a median priced home, he said.
Today it is 511 times, or nearly 10 years wages, making houses more than three times more expensive today in real terms than in 1970.

thats concerning for a foreign affairs minister.
oh very funny the fiberal party. still nothing can trump queensland labor who have actually made lying to parliament fucking LEGAL.

btw on the subject of lying pollies rudd seems to have set the record of lying even before he got into government.
remember his little mournful tale of being thrown of the farm as a child?
mother fucking bullshit and the lying bastard tarnished the reputation of the farmer who owned the land. they would have sued the bastard if theyd had the money
liber8me 3 years ago
Here we go, a disgruntled fiberal, no trough to feed from? There is no doubt that Rudd's family was in an impoverished situation, what circumstances that entailed would be difficult for a young boy's memory to detail exactly, they did leave the farm after his father's death and after 13 years of service and I'm sure the farmer needed an able bodied worker rather than a fatherless family.
