    Really Blanch? ALL Americans? I happen to love Australians. They go great with the burgers I get from the drive-through restaurant which I drive to everyday in my 1 mpg SUV. Blow all the bastards to hell.
    (In actuality, I own a 30 mpg sub-compact, hate fast food and never voted for any Bush for president) – A Real American.

    blatant anti-american propaganda.

    everyone in this great country knows that kangaroos can’t be tamed; they’re the worlds best boxers.

    It’s a shame there aren’t more kangaroo commuters…I think there’s an untapped potential for clean eco-friendly transportation here

    When we said Aussies guys “ride” kangaroos, we didn’t mean as transportation.

    Seriously mates,
    consider that you’ve bought into an anti-American stereotype, happily offered up by our communists, self-loathing far left. They live in mansions, drive in Mercedes limos, and then cry that we’re all ignorant capitalist pigs ruining the Earth.
    They own all of the media, including Hollywood.

    You know, I am familiar with several Australians, and many Americans who have worked side by side with them in environmental efforts, business, and war.
    I’ve never, that’s never- heard one of the Americans bad mouth the Australians.
    They praised them, especially the soldiers.

    Do you honestly think there’s nothing severe and negative they could say?

    I am an American, and I’ve been to Australia… they don’t ride Kangaroo’s. They drive a hell of a lot of American cars though. So before you Aussies shit on Americans for their stupidity and ignorance – why don’t you guys take the initiative to contribute SOMETHING useful for the world… like the automobile, or the cure for polio, or put a man on the moon. CONTRIBUTE SOMETHING other than a decent Rugby team and Elle MacPherson.

    Two mistakes:

    1) Nobody rides their roos anywhere near the Opera House, that’s ridiculous.

    2) “Uneducated Americans” is a pleonasm. You’d know that if you went to school in Australia.

    You’re welcome ladies.

    Hey mate, we actually barely drive any American cars cause they are utter crap. We mostly drive our home grown sedans (which we also export to the US and UK) Euro imports and little Japanese econo boxes.

    Very few American made cars are imported for two reasons:
    1) we drive on the other side of the road and left hand drive cars are illegal here.
    2)We actually have standards and wouldn’t be caught dead driving that junk.

    Well, if kangaroo rides are out of the question, I say we add Australia to the (long) list of countries to be bombed out of existence.

    Please don’t complain about people’s lack of knowledge regarding your corner of the world. I am from the southeast US. When I meet people from outside the US(and occasionally within) they are frequently surprised that I can read and use indoor plumbing. Are your “Throw another shrimp on the barbie, mate” stereotypes harmful. Has anyone ever asked you if you’d been a part of a lynch mob? I’ve been asked that.

    Yeah… if only we could create some kind of valuable medical invention…

    Like the vaccine for Cervical Cancer, the Ultrasound, the bionic ear, the pacemaker, Florey’s development of pennecillin, asprin tablets, orthodontics (braces), and the use of lithium as a treatment for mental disorders – these were all LESS valuable than sticking some jackass on the moon..

    The first refrigerator, the technology for Xerox machine, insect repellant, the electric drill, permaculture farming… these contributed nothing to society.

    Automobile inventions like the differential gear system (”diff”), the zeta platform, Variable rack and pinion steering, the orbital engine, the car radio.. yeah, Australians don’t invent anything car related…

    The first powered flight, the first working scramjet (oh yeah, Americans came to AUSTRALIA to get the University of Queensland to help them achieve this), the invention of the curved wing, the torpedo, the black box flight recorder, airplane escape slides, the first tank (by Lance de Mole), Mark Oliphant’s work original work on nuclear fusion in the 1930’s, Aircraft DME systems, the Atomic absorption spectrophotometer, the Solar hot water system, the Flame ionisation detector, Supersonic combustion…

    Yeah, Aussies don’t invent shit…

    Here’s a figure for you… $11 Billion Dollars… That’s how much the USA spent creating the stealth bomber…

    $1.5 million… That’s how much Australia spent inventing the Jindalee Radar System – a radar system that turns the stealth bomber into nothing more than “a funny looking plane on an Australian radar screen”… Stealthy? Invisible? Everywhere except Australia.

    GET A FUCKING CLUE YOU IGNORANT AMERICAN

    Oh yeah, before I forget – Polio… There is no cure..

    The automobile? Invented in 1771 by Nicolas Joseph Cugnot for the french government as a steam engined vehicle, turned into a combustion engine vehicle by Germany.

    Enjoy your crappy Fords..

    I’ve been to both Australia and the US, and I can safely say that Australians ride kangaroos and Americans hitch rides on passing eagles.

    Wow, for long-time allies, we sure are pissed at each other for something. I just want to ride a kangaroo. Both countries are world destinations for immigration. Both countries are great democracies (okay, one is a good democracy). Both smell of cooked meat…yum!

    Seriously, worst part, I have to agree, alot of Americans I have met are arrogant, selfish, rude, and think the US is the world and better then everywhere else.

    I read all comments of all peoples above.
    No one seems to be able to tell me why U.S. still invade my home for oil?
    Maybe when U.S. economy get squashed under the fat-ass of their financial system, they finally not be able to afford to drive cars and then not afford to keep invading my country! Please, please, please make this happen!
    Then they probably invade Australia to secure access to kanga-transportation.
    If this happen. I ask that Australian government feed up all U.S. bound kanga exports on viagra. Then we can finally see a little role reversal as a little country fucks the U.S.

    America

    Without slavery your sports teams would be a joke – Why do all your national sports competitions state “World Champions” – Your president buys his way into office – You have no national health service and you put up with it – You let your soldiers die so that less than 1% of your population can get richer – Every white person in the U.S. originated from Europe.

    Before you mention anything about convicts, you might want to look up the registers that recorded why people were sent here for.. feeding your family must not be high on your priority list.

    In the USA, I found that the most confused tourists were the Americans themselves, travelling in their own country. Everywhere I went, Americans would ask me “Where’s this” “Where’s that” “How does this ticket machine work”. Oh, and did I mention that everywhere else I have been throughout the world, the most confused tourist is the one with the American accent..This is from personal experience.

    Having said all that I have to admit that I have never been to Australia.

    I am not from either of those countries (Not europe either).
