So True. I meant america, but yeah

Australia is basically a continent fll of jumping rats of various sizes, sheep and beer

[@$3.1415rin]

and obviously a bunch of nice chicks, otherwise you wouldnt still be there

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

what? he hasn't used them up yet ?

[Cpl. Shrike]

Heh lol no in austalia they have a refill service for chicks.
Once ya had em all or the most you can order a refill. Upon they change all the "had" chicks in to jumping creatures.

My experience is that there is stupid people everywhere. I thought the joke was hilarious, and obvious as hell. 9_9

Just as an aside: as an American that has lived all over Europe for years, who knows from first hand experience how stupid European leaders/laws/people can be at times, its kind of naive and insulting to think you know or understand an entire nation of people that is as diverse as America, just because you disagree with its current President or policies (which the majority of Americans do as well).

ESPECIALLY considering that 90% (or more) of you haven't even VISITED, let alone lived in, America in your lives, and that everything you think you know about it is from biased news sources, crappy movies, or herd mentality. o_O

BTW: America isn't a continent. NORTH AMERICA is a continent - and by your broad generalization, you've just branded the people of Canada and Mexico as being stupid as well.

Heyyo,

I'm pretty sure they diddn't mean to include us Canadians, we're too nice to just be randomly flamed eh?

And it was just a joke, they diddn't mean it personally man. C'mon, we all make fun of eachother's homelands.

I have a theory for comedy.. to make someone happy? you have to make another one sad.. yeah, I should work on the wording, but that's pretty much the just of it. Just like soo much else in life though? there is a balance in comedy. You see, their joke aboot america was funny, but it pissed you off eh?

I've lived in the States, and I must say, I love Cali. Was born in Burbank, and once I save up some cash I'm probably moving back to Burbank.

Imo, Cali's the best state in the USA. Lots of nice people, good weather, and having Arnorld schwarzenegger as the Govenor? now that just pwns.

So yeah, for all you guys who actually hate the states in general? come to Cali, I'm sure you'll realize there's just a chunk of bad people, cause there are indeed a lot of good people in the States.

Actually, I doupt theres one single country that doesn't have its share of good and bad people. Life on earth is aboot balance afterall.

I'm not offended, just making a point about the general "ambiance" of BU somedays, which is a MULTI-national group: yes, there are some of us EVILE Americans among you!!. 9_9

I guess everybody agrees with you Maleficus, that you cannot generalize a whole country by a few words. and I doubt that it was meant seriously, just take a look at the kangaroo post.

it's sometimes just funny to point at certain things, e.g. that in certain countries >1/3 of the population think, that hitler is still in power. that's just ridiculous, but shouldnt be meant as an insult, this is meant as a joke, and every joke contains a bit of truth.

anyway, you might be right, that you won't find a lot of ppl regulary posting here, supporting the war in iraq and other big political issues the last few years. but it is known that even the american ppl havnt been by far pro this war 100%, as well as there shall be ppl in germany e.g. supporting that position. but this doesnt mean that someone hates the united states, nor mexico, nor canada to come back to that 'continent' issue where I assume that nova knows the real facts, but this is an often used generalization as well.
