Ausmerica

Australia, as the 51st state of the United States. Refers to the prevalence of American media and imports that have caused Australian culture to become submerged in the generic cosmopolitanism of the US. Reinforced by Bush's pet lapdog, John Howard, who sold the rights of Australians by accepting the DMCA in Australia, WITHOUT the benefit of the US's fair use laws, in exchange for the "privilege" of selling our best meat, wheat and fruit to the US, leaving Australians with overpriced shit you wouldn't feed to a stray dog.

With the FTA sellout now complete, the large continent south of Asia will henceforth be known as Ausmerica.

schizophrenia

Condition in which person's perception of reality differs from that of most others. Commonly believed to be an illness; in some instances this may be the case, but in others it may be that the person exists in a transcendent state that has not yet been defined or detected by science.

I live two lives. One is as a Web developer and programmer on a planet called Earth. The other is as an intergalactic diplomat from the Ammethane system. Both are equally real to me. Neither has adversely affected my existence as a functional being in the opposed reality. But most of you who read this would say I suffer from schizophrenia.
