speaking of left out!, is anyone australian? do you even know where that is? Options

[Remy11]

ahoy-hoy, im rilly getting annoyed from all this race stuff,
my heritage is from cyprus (little island close to egypt) but i call myself bloody AUSTRALIAN!!!

i feel left out on so many levels in polls and forums . i cant even vote because theres not a catagory for me . i have never seen a south east asian pacific choice. and i dont classify myself as asian by definition. asian pacific is a totally different thing .

1. is there anyone out there that is from australia?

2. out of common interest, do you really think we ride around on kangaroos (only edible national icon.)

3. please dont think that boomerangs dont work because you bought a purely decorational boomerang and tryed to throw it (those ones are designed to look pritty and make you feel like a well rounded multicultural person, which your not) there not for throwing. there are ones you can buy that if thrown correctly return to you.

3 and a half. australia is its own continent and deserves its own category.

4.pretty much everyone in australia hates america. i have a list of why we hate you(mostly your president, culture and the economic superpower you have created) but thats for another post.

[*SinfullySweet*]

Excuse me, but were you just racially bashed?

I really think you have a overrated superficial idea of Americans.

No, we do not think you ride around in kangaroos, why in the world would you think we do?

No, I've never heard anyone complain about boomerangs not working, even though they are just for decorations.

What do you mean you hate America's culture? America is the most culture-deverse country on the planet. Unless you're talking about a specific thing.

[xchrystizzle]

only true RETARDS (no matter what race/culture/background) think that Australians ride kangaroos. if we say it, we're usually joking. anyways, I'm pretty sure that most people know that Australia is its own continent. lots of things get left out, especially the little countries. or the carribean... it's not our fault, how often do you remember the greenland?

you get annoyed, at least when you say "I'm Australian" people know where you're from and where it is. here's what usually happens to me:
"I'm Haitian and Taiwanese"
-"Haitian?"
"yea, from Haiti"
-"umm.. what's that?"
"a country, you know the Dominican Republic? it shares the island"
-"oooh. wait why aren't you black?"
"because of French ancestors"
-"ok cool so you speak spanish?"
.... and things of the sort

but I love it when people DO know where it is and have heard about it, I don't mind explaining why I've never gotten kidnapped

[*SinfullySweet*]

Okay. So its agreed. Bush is a fucking prick.

[xburnoutx00]

HAHAHAHAHA.

[dannyordinary]

hey love. Maybe some people think of you as you said.
But not all of us are un-educated.
I would love to visit where your from, because I'm sure that we could
learn more about each other and our cultures.

[*SinfullySweet*]

I think a fellow austraillian is Jealous we are the most powerful, wealthiest country on the face of the planet

Oh. And the culture. I'm asain. My parents are freakishly superstitious, and very religious. Hell, my mom thinks its bad luck to put a purse on the floor. She yells at me.

OMG, purse on the floor?? that's hilarious.
totally made my day there.

[retaliate]

Seems like you are jealous of Americans. You stupid austrailians can just stay in your little shitty island, where its internationally known as the top destination for ex-convicts and more. Don't come around acting like you know everything.
You aren't deserving enough to get your own little category..

Ouch.

I think Australia would be wonderful (even though you guys all hate us) to visit and I'm sorry you feel left out on the forums. I've never seen a boomerang before and I never thought Australians hop around in Kangaroos.

And I don't know why you hate our culture?

[Jennifer]

I'm Australian.. And I often hear things about kangaroo's and boomerangs etc.
But should we be ashamned? We should be proud of our culture, even if what's said isn't true.

They're just stereotypes.. no matter what we do stereotypes will always be there

As for me, I don't have anything against America at all. Sure, Bush may not be the best president they've seen, but it's the people that make it .. the place?

Anyway just my opinion.

[RAWRstephishere]

Wow.

Youre really stupid.

Just because you cant vote, doesnt me the whole world cares about you.
Suck it up and get over it.

No one thinks you ride around on animals.
But I bet you think everyone in Texas lives on a farm?
Right?

Who cares about boomerangs?

[RAWRstephishere]

And I don't know why you hate our culture?

They probably hate us because we dont add their culture to the polls that we make.
Poor Australians. :[

I have to agree.

People can't expect everyone to know all the countries, geography was a long time ago. I get annoyed from time to time but oh well, it happens.

[*SinfullySweet*]

LOL. Okay everyone. We should stop the racial bashing

Besides that. I do have to agree on what everyone is saying about what you see Americans as. You think Texans live on farms? You think californias go the beach everyday, and meet celebrities all the time. Hell no. Do some research foo.

[xFaith]

1. is there anyone out there that is from australia?
I'm from The Netherlands, so no. o.o

2. out of common interest, do you really think we ride around on kangaroos (only edible national icon.)

No xD

3. please dont think that boomerangs dont work because you bought a purely decorational boomerang and tryed to throw it (those ones are designed to look pritty and make you feel like a well rounded multicultural person, which your not) there not for throwing. there are ones you can buy that if thrown correctly return to you.

Uh? o.O

3 and a half. australia is its own continent and deserves its own category.

I know. How sad is your life, boohoo.

4.pretty much everyone in australia hates america. i have a list of why we hate you(mostly your president, culture and the economic superpower you have created) but thats for another post.

Why are you saying people shouldnt hate your country or shouldn't have stereotype-thoughts while you're doing the same? For your information, a lot of countries and people hate America's president.

haha my mom too(the superstitous part). So now I never put my purse/bag on the floor. Even when my friends do it I pick it up for them XD

[treschicgeek]

Gah. Seriously. What's up with the stereotypes?

I have honestly never heard of Australians riding in kangaroos. So I don't know what you're talking about.

Also, does this really belong in the Girl's Locker? Wouldn't it be better in like... The Lounge or something?

*random* I think that it's awesome that Australia is it's own country and continent.

[trulyandnever]

1. Is there anyone out there that is from Australia? Yes.

2. Out of common interest, do you really think we ride around on kangaroos? No, we eat them now apparently.

3. Boomerangs: lol.

4. Pretty much everyone in Australia hates America. I have a list of why we hate you (mostly your president, culture and the economic superpower you have created) but thats for another post.

So not true. The only reason Australia would "hate" America imo, is because we have nothing on them. Except, perhaps a calmer, less crime, hotter environment & I've lived here my whole life, never been overseas. Though.. America wouldnt be my no. 1 destination on a world tour. I'd go to the UK & probably skip America altogether.

Btw, we all know George Bush is a fool, & so is John Howard. But like.. I dont think it would matter whothe president is- just because he is the president, people'll find ways to bash him/her, dont worry.

As for Australia never being a part of a "category".. you learn to deal with it, but its totally not something to rage about :P These are heavily American dominated forums.. your choice to stay here or leave, y'know?

[*Sandraaa*]

Get over it. I live in Belgium and it isn't quite fun online either.

[*Steven*]

Get over it indeed. I live in Texas. I visited Colorado and for some reason they thought we rode horses to school and that we lived in a desert. I live in Houston, which is quite green, and everyone here owns a car because that's the only way to get around.

I know all about Australia. Fosters is Australian for "beer". You like to roast dingos on the barby, and eat blooming onions. Y'all all run around with khakis wrestling croc's, and ride Kangaroos instead of driving cars. Y'all always end sentences with "mate" and say "fair enough" all the time.

What do you mean you hate America's culture? America is the most culture-deverse country on the planet. Unless you're talking about a specific thing.

I thought Canada was, seeing how you guys don't accept immigration as much as we do.

HAHA. NO.

yet another dumb stereotype.

i don't care. i'm asian.

don't give a shit about how other countries hate the U.S. either. i grew up in taiwan, and so many people in english-speaking countries keep asking me if i speak thai.

[xFaith]

What part?

Noordwest provincie Utrecht, between Utrecht and Amsterdam :P
