Don't let redheadbro's comments get to you. He has a small mentality and civility and etiquette is something he does not understand or comprehend.. He is not at all representative of many Americans that I know who have visited our country and appreciated it's beauty. His views mean little to us, that is true and really it's not going to change our or any one elses opinions on Australia.

G'day
Don't worry about the rogue element from certain Americans - they have no idea how to represent their country.
At the end of the day - who cares - we live in the finest place on this fair planet, and they don't - so you gotta kind of empathise with their jealousy!
As for redheadbro - what a wanker - he's good for comic relief though!

I agree. Am getting sick of their arrogance in almost every category lately. Answers is going down the gurgler. Do agree that the less they know, the less will come lol.
Don't want them here anyway, it is our little secret and they would only ruin it.

Hey there,
It's not all Americans, but that redneck twat is sure getting up my nose and embarrassing his fellow country men and women. Just ignore those backwater views of his. They mean little to us or others who wish to visit our wonderful country.

The majority does not know much about Australia or anywhere else either you know. But still there are some very interesting and educated Americans on this site.
I lived in Australia for a few months....You guys are different. Granted Australia is so huge and did not have the chance to go anywhere outside WA.
Here is an interesting article (some might find it biased though) about the differences. I had given it in one of my previous answers tp someone else.
