yeah, I mean why would anyone want to live in some of the planet's richest and most beautiful nations?
Well, I would for one, But then I've been to both...more than some posters on here could ever say.
A smaller percentage of the global population living in poverty, more chance of surviving cancer than any previous generation, pretty much instant access to information and entertainment, and lots of other things. It's a great time to be alive and things get better every year. Then again, I'm an unashamed optimist and hope to always be so.

So was I, but I'm still here because of treatments that are available now that wouldn't have been a few decades ago. Plus I tend to look at how the human race is doing as a whole and it's doing pretty well at the moment, though that's maybe not going to last unless politicians start thinking more long-term.
Put down the logic and STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD, SIR!!!!
NOW!!!!
Its a META_FACT.... Bali is fall of Australians. Its so down market you could not go any lower. One wonders what the rest are like.... Although, to be fair, if one was to judge the UK by Benidorm I guess we would not be so hot either. Still I'd say Bali-Man is worse then Benidorm-Man

WTH is a 'meta-fact' in a non-computer term context? Something outside of a fact that attempts to understand the fact? Pure scribble
And then you went and demonstrated it by the above post in which you explained your example and showed how dumb it was in two paras, while at the same time confusing facts with opinion. :D:p

Meta from Wiki: " Meta is a prefix used in English to indicate a concept which is an abstraction from another concept, used to complete or add to the latter." Thus Bali-Man is an abstraction based on the concept of an Australian but also it adds a certain something to the definition of an Australian in the same way Maga-Loathe-Teen adds something to the definition of the Sun Newspaper (Australian owned)..

Nice try - but it doesn't apply to 'fact' and you won't find the word 'Meta-fact'in a dictionary outside of computer language. Try this, extrapolated from your 'definition':
"A meta-fact is a fact that is an abstraction from another fact used to complete or add to the latter."
Pure nonsense. If it's 'an abstraction' it isn't a fact.
The fact extrapolated is simply .... another fact.
Fire is hot.
If I put my hand in the fire it burns.
Two facts, not a fact and a meta-fact. The second in no way completes the definition of the first, or add anything to the first fact in itself.

Australia........ Its Benidorm but spread over an entire continent like a plague.
Could not take more then 30 minutes top!
So you've not really been then because it's not like that at all.
I was happier back then.

Anyone who has spent a fortune on a "luxury" holiday to Bali will disagree with you.. LOL (I've been to neither place)
yes the lack of a degree in Icelandic and my rusty Norwegian being something of a drawback in the local job market.... surprisingly.

But I was younger and fitter back then.

Japan has Tsunami, earthquakes and Nuclear meltdowns.
Germany started the war, but don't mention it. I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it.

The Optimists and The Pessimists
I'm optimistic about my chances in that fight
Those isms are about the future, there is no ism in the present. It just is.

American owned. News Corp is American.
He only became American for tax or legal reasons. He is a 100% Australian dodger.
That's nice. Now go put the kettle on.
