Army Sent to Fight Millions of Invading Toxic Toads
Reporter writes "The Australian state government called for the army to be deployed against the invasion of toxic toads! Battalions of imported cane toads are marching relentlessly across northern Australia and the West Australian government wants soldiers to intercept the environmental barbarians. From the article: "The toads, Bufo Marinus, were introduced from South America into northeast Queensland state in the 1930s to control another pest: Beetles that were ravaging the sugar cane fields of the tropical northern coasts. But the toads now number in the millions and are spreading westward through the Northern Territory, upsetting the country's ecosystem in their wake. Cane toads have poisonous sacs on the back of their heads full of a venom so powerful it can kill crocodiles, snakes or other predators in minutes." More information about cane toads at Wikipedia."
I'm no bloody yank! .. but you seem to be, considering your complete lack of ability to understand the subtle differences and the cultural background of the French-bashing.
Please don't take this as a personal affair, my problem is not with you, but the general french bashing. It is stupid, childish and annoying.
I am taking it personally, because it's uncalled for. If I had made a joke about the French surrendering I could have understood your outburst, because that would have plain distastefull (especially considering they're based on them 'losing' WW2; and the Americans with their refusing to get involved until the Russians had effectively won the war, and still claiming to be 'our saviours' have no rights whatsoever to make jokes about WW2).
However, you do have to keep in mind that large majority of posters (even of the Europeans ones) have their feet firmly planted in the Anglo-camp in the Anglo/French-shitcasting contest.
"" How about taking the safety labels off everything, and let the stupidity-problem solve itself? """
oh oh oh I know send them to france! population control in so many ways there. And for my other idea after the armada of toad warfare is over a new movie based on it. ATTACK OF THE KILLER Sac TOADS!

PJ: I've avenged you Sarg what wait shite theres more toads ahhhhhhhhhh Enter hundreds of thousands of toads as the envelope Johnny! Then a master toad jumps in swallowing Johnny and alot of other toads. Johnny: being digested slowly pulls the gernade pins from several thermite gernades. If I die you bastards goto hell with me! YAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! Huge Exsplosion as the ground was full of methane gas leaving a huge crater. General walks by a day later! General: that damn squad gave it's life to wipe this menace out! God love the Roughnecks! As the the general walks away a lone shadow is seen hoping away to the other side of the crater. RIBBBBIIIITTT! thats what I'd do after the menace is cleaned up!
