Oh, its a very common term to refer to Australia, presumably because its down under the rest of civilisation. Its not offensive, but whenever I hear it used it just strikes me that the person has no idea about Australia and is relying mostly on stereoypes.

People were transported to Australia for almost no reason at all and they…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha!  But that wouldn’t really make sense with the rest of the description, since it’s all about how awesome and terrifying the beast is. 😀  So why use a sapling?  If his tail isn’t impressive, just don’t mention it!

Ah, okay.  Notes taken: An Australian may understand the word “sofa” but will never use it.

You may note your…[Read more]

A very small and weedy sapling perhaps?

I’ve read enough American books to know what it means, but we usually use the word lounge and couch sometimes.

@seekjustice Why?  I actually don’t really know the phrase except as the title of the series. 🙂  Is it an insult or something?

Well, technically there’s the Botany Bay part of your history, which would explain why the people weren’t originally very nice. 🙂 (I’m not saying that to offend you.  You can say as many bad things about American hi…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I’ve never read it. I’m instantly suspicious of anyone using the phrase Down Under though.

We have our “gentleman bushrangers” like Ben Hall and Harry Power, but for the most part they were a pretty nasty lost.

@jenwriter17 Oh, thank you!  I’m so glad you liked it.  😀  *notes to let you know when I do publish that poem book* 🙂

@Rochellaine

I don’t think even Arthur was doing that well (Mordred wasn’t one of his proud moments).

Wow! I’ve never really read about cowboys but they do sound pretty cool! All I know about them is the stereotypical stuff everyone else uses to make fun of them.

@seekjustice Oh, and while I don’t know much about bushrangers, I like them, too.  Have you read the Adventures Down Under series by Robert Elmer?  Is that series accurate?  If so, I can say I enjoyed it immensely. 🙂

@seekjustice Oh yes!  I always find it funny that people try to say the behemoth is an elephant or hippo, because I have seen several elephants and hippos, and read about them extensively, but never have I heard of one with a tail as big as a tree. 😀

Wait…you don’t use the word “sofa?”  Haha. 🙂  Just “couch,” huh?  At least you knew what it…[Read more]

@ethryndal Yes, what @seekjustice said.  They were one of the reasons God chose to Flood the earth.  Children of demons and humans are evil, obviously. 🙂

@rochellaine

(*whispers* we don’t use the word sofa in Australia)

But yeah I understand what you’re saying. I just try to say dinosaurs otherwise people look at you rather oddly.

The KJV bible mentions dragons in several places! And the Behemoth is usually said to be a hippo/elephant but I definitely think its a dinosaur.

@seekjustice 😀 😀 But actually, just like the code of the knights was idealistic and none of them really followed it but Arthur and Galahad, (completely get rid of Lancelot.  I don’t think he even tried. 😀 ) so is this code the code of the idealistic cowboy.  True historic cowboys had faults like normal people.

However, if you do study A…[Read more]

@ethryndal

I think she’s referring to the Nephilim which are mentioned in Genesis 6:1-6.

@SleepwalkingMK Hehehehe…. 😎

@Rochellaine

The Bible mentions the fact that demons had children by human women, who became giants and monsters

Whoa, wait, where was that?

@rochellaine

Goodness, it makes cowboys sound like the knights of the Round Table!

But really, I don’t understand why Americans have iconic, chivalrous cowboys and Australia has…bushrangers.

@bekreations Oh, thanks! 😀 I was considering suggesting something like that, but wasn’t sure how to put it together.  You did great!

@seekjustice Cool!  🙂  Yeah, actually I interchange the words “dragon” and “dinosaur” in much the same way as you would “couch” and “sofa.”  To me they’re the same thing, so that’s actually what I meant.  The Bible mentions a fire breathing creature of the same size and physical characteristics of a dinosaur in a couple of different places, so…[Read more]

Yes there is, here you go 😊

@Ariel-Ashira Oh man, I can sympathize with the whole “major changes, God’s guidance” thing. I’ll pray for you and your family, dear. Hope everything turns out well.
