Well what is up with that? Can that attribute be traced to a lack of religious heritage as a culture, or something else? Genetics? Living in least (deadly flora and fauna) hospitable Continent? [/quote] It's because we're a nation that has come from convicts. We're also damn proud of it. [/quote] Yeah from Convicts to a First World Nation....We're pretty smart, clever or this would never have happened.... [/quote] Unless your leaders made the same deal with Ol' Scratch. [/quote]
Original Message
My in-person experience with Australians is limited to those I met in my travels, predominately in Europe.
They were witty, intelligent, friendly folks in my estimation.
Now, after a few years around here, my opinion of Aussies has changed.
I postulate a few potential causative factors:
1: The Aussies I met while traveling were from respectable families, educated and cultured.
That's why they were able to holiday for 6-months across Europe.
2: Most Aussie AC's are under-educated basement trolls.
3: US Gov't. operatives use Aussie IP's to troll and shill our boards.
4: The majority Aussie AC's are 14 years old.
5: Excessive Aussie Gov't control of info, the people actually believe what they post.
6: Criminal gene pool will criminal.
7: Aussies are right. All our conversation is meaningless and we should listen to them and stop posting anything.
