Opinions on Australia - a study.

[Sulu]

I like Australians. Used to have an aussie PE teacher and he was a cool guy!

Again, I've never heard anyone say these things about Australians unless they were joking. I think you are taking people's comments to seriously.

No. Allow me to rephrase misconceptions, in this case, as "senseless stereotypes which there are too many of"

There are plenty of senseless stereotypes of Americans, but you don't hear me complaining about them. I find them rather funny.

You need to lighten up.

There are plenty of senseless stereotypes of just about every group.

Christ, give me a break.

Well, I for one think Australia's awesome! The fact alone that there are so many deadly creatures in Australia [http://www.badassoftheweek.com/australia.html] and its human denizens choose to live there anyway...that certainly takes balls. Plus I love the sound of Aussie accents. Music to my ears.

It's not a place I'd like to live, seeing as there tons of animals there that can kill you, and it is an island, meaning if I wanted to visit my American relatives it'd take some time, but I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Australia, along with Russia and Canada.

OP, you really shouldn't take Aussie 'stereotypes' so seriously. There are stereotypes of every nation, and quite frankly, most of us tease because we love.

And besides, everyone knows Australia's the key to the whole game! [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=australia+is+the+key+to+the+whole+game&rlz=1R2ADSA_enUS360&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g1] The game of life, that is!

So did I then him and another teacher got married and move to Australia, within a few months

Australia I feel is like the cooler little brother of the world (from the English point of view)
you have an amazing accent and are all remarkable healthy (generalizations make everything more fun) but like everywhere people are going to try to have a laugh about aspects of different places and people, though i will never go to Australia (until all the insects are eradicated).

Obviously I'm aware of that. And if you are aware of that, then why are you complaining about the ones for Australians?

 

[GundamSentinel]

Europe kicked convicts to Autralia and religious nutters to America. Doesn't mean they've grown to be bad countries. Well maybe a little. But I like Aussies. Yes, Australians I know are indeed nice people. And I have none of those misconceptions.

 

[Insert Comedy Here]

One in around eight hundred people I've played with online have tried to discredit me as a person by calling me a convict. Or any of the other associated bullcrap.

Everyone else is either Australian, and joke about the jokes, or foreign and very interested in Australia, or are planning to come here and want a few 'serious' pointers.

They are just as prominent as any generalizations in the world (well, there are a lot more commonly thrown around ones, but still), I'm "allowed" to complain about those directed at my nation aren't I? Yes, I am.

I feel so loved <3

I like Australians. My opinion of the country is that everything might kill you but some of the sheep.

-snip- though i will never go to Australia (until all the insects are eradicated).

Well your missing out then and will for a long time, as those bastards can take a beating before they die (seen a hunstman take 2 full spray paint cans, 3 cans of baygon and a deoderant flamethrower and still scurry off, albeit singed and multi colored)

Worst huntsman I had to deal with was the size of a smallish plate. That fucker took so much mortein

I like how Britian and Australia have very similair senses of humour, therefore we can rip into each other without any of us taking it too seriously.

This also means that we Aussies get British humour and comedy shows, so they don't have to be edited for Australian audiences like they sometimes do for American audiences.

- Yes, our ancestors are mostly convicts. But, despite this, no, we are not all convicts, and your endless slew of jokes on this matter are really.not.that.funny.

I come from South Australia. South Australia was founded by free settlers. I just say that whenever a non-Aussies makes a convict joke. Shuts 'em up, usually.

Mortein?
WEAK.

Shoe-soles are how a MAN does it.
