Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

What cracks me up about your post is that you seem to want to take all the credit for America's literature, music, and art. And yet, all of that is a product of immigrants from other countries. With the exception of native American Indians, anything American is really English, European, African, Asian, or South American. Of course, you don't seem to want to take credit for ruining both the economy and the environment, which greedy America has been very good at.
These are the ones I like the best. Try as you might, you can't fake music and literature.

AC/DC sucks, INXS sucks, ONJ sucks, Kylie Minogue is awesome but was anything but life-changing, Bee Gees, Midnight Oil, well, they suck too. I like how you didn't even try with literature, which was a wise move.

Immigrants? Well, yeah, that's kind of America's deal. See, we wreaked ethnocide upon our native peoples, too. The whole melting pot thing, remember? You kangaroo-lovers are homogeneous by our standards, and by most people's, actually. "G'day, Bruce!" And we ruined the economy and the environment, did we? I mentioned earlier that you produce more carbon emissions per capita than Americans, which is true, and which would be pretty easily explained if you had a fast-chugging and powerful economy, which you don't. What exactly are you producing? Wallabee shoes probably. Not even like Clark's Wallabees, which are awesome, but like actual shoes for wallabees. Dumb jaffers. I can totally see where you're coming from with the ruining the world economy thing, too. If by "ruining it" you mean "maintaining the national and international clout necessary to carry it for the past half century." You guys jumped right into Iraq, too, which is hilarious.

Seriously, you're not convincing anybody. This is Canada's problem, too. Canadians all brag about what they've done for the world, and how their country's more progressive and beautiful and better, which it is in a lot of ways. But all the bragging makes them seem like they're not really sure if they like their country that much. If you're so happy about keeping the secret, then keep it. Bragging about beaches and crappy music probably tells me way more about your national personality than you'd like me to know.

When I tell people that I lived in Australia for 3 years, the first thing they tell me is that they want to go there some day. Must be a terrible thing, all those people wanting to go there, and not knowing just how badly it pales in comparison to America.

If you don't like Kylie every now and again you're insecure and probably have festering mommy issues. And of course I've seen an Olsen twins movie. I've seen many. I grew up with that ish. That's what you're resorting to? Was my assessment of Australia's utter mediocrity that spot-on? Eesh, you must have run out of ammo before I even posted on this thread. Australia's OK. The Coors of the developed world. A cut above Natty Light, but a stone's throw away from MGD and light years away from anything Belgian. Give it up.



Now somebody post a foul-mouthed response so we can lock this thread and be done with it.

Very strange, this roo-rodeo going on in here.
I fail to understand how Cheif Wahoo can be personified as a tallywacker.
Just think what they could come up with using a Hilliary Clinton picture.

You know, every day is "Gosh-darn-it-don't-ya-just-love-America" day on this forum, and most of us non-U.S. types usually just grit our teeth and carry on. But just one thread consisting of some playful gloating on the part of a few Aussies is too much for the likes of you, it appears.

You know that old saying about protesting too much? It applies to your hubristic nonsense about having nothing to learn.

Granted, I hate Aussies myself. They're a bunch of marsupial-loving, dingo-shagging inbreds who drink s-h-i-t-e beer and spend way too much time surfing. They're impolite, and have no sense of propriety. And they don't know how to treat women. Why, one of them even had the inmitigated gall to steal my girlfriend from me, this is going years back, and I could tell all the while that she was very unhappy. That Aussie b-a-s-t-a-r-d treated her horribly. They've been married some 15 years now and have a couple of kids and live in Melbourne and all that, but I just know that she's desperately unhappy. Cause them Aussie guys don't know how to treat women. Nope. And this other time there was this Aussie w-a-n-k-e-r who...

Oh, getting a bit off-topic. What was the topic, anyway? Never mind. In any case, carry on, try not to spill your drinks on the carpet, it stains something horrible.

It's all good, mate. I stole one of their wimmins, and brought her back to America. By the way, you forgot to mention the pot-smoking.

Nonsense. Aussie blokes know how to treat women. I always wipe the mouth of the beer stubby when I pass it to my missus for a sip. Fark I'm classy.

I think you might have all this the worng way 'round: the chicks suck and those bands are ok

By the way, the Bee Gees aren't Aussies; they were only here for 8 or 9 years when they were teenagers, between 1958 and 1967

Neither are the Young brothers, for that matter. But they know how to piss it up, and they're way better than that little whiney Johns kid from Silverchair.
