What question should you never ask an Aussie ?

@Gusman back in the days when a convict got freed they could choose to go to America or go back to Europe

@MonaReeves86 Yes, they were given a choice, most chose to stay.

@Gusman some went to America

@Gusman so some Americans have convicts in them

@Gusman It seems to be little known that Australia was colonized because it became impossible to send convicts to the USA any more following the Brits losing the war of independence. All excess convicts were sent across the Atlantic prior to that war.

@walabby I am not sure this fact was even taught at school.

@Gusman I learned it at school... in Qld.

@SW-User Jeeez I hope not. All of my wife and kids would disappear!
