We can start by stop calling chips "fries" and biscuits "cookies"
I refuse to call them by those names especially when I go to McDonalds or the other fast food joints.
No offense CPG, but, we are not all criminals - and if you read your history - MOST of the original Aussies were not criminals but citizen from the United Kingdom migrated here for a better life. A lot of Aussies have NO criminals ancestry. |

Haha i love the answers above from people who have no clue what you're on about.
Tell you what, why don't you use the opportunity to ask Johhny the question, seeing as they want everyone to ask him something!!
I think there is no hope though - an entire generation of kids is learning to spell the American way with "Glamorous" on the airwaves :) |

All I can say is the Americans don't own all of Australia, or Australians for that matter, just some of our more mindless politicians (Yes I mean Johnny & Co.), and a fairly large proportion of middle-class teenages.
I like what the guy above was saying about taking back the language that the Americans have crippled. Dropping fries and cookies in favour of chips and busicuits is a good start.
And as for the "globalisation" of American businesses, there's an easy answer to that. How about you just don't go to McDonalds? Or Starbucks? Or what ever other souless franchise they churn out. If you don't use them, then the'd be no call for them, and hence we wouldn't be over run with them.
On a lighter note, how funny were those first few answers. Trying to explain Australian history to you like you were the stupid one? HA! Oh to be that nieve (or ignorant, which ever they'd prefer?). That has made my day! |

Cup of tea & a lie down for CPG.
Relax son, & read a good book, preferably one about an exciting place full of adventure & challenge for the brave few who had the courage to take their families to the other side of the world (& where the stock exchange hadn't been sold off to the Rothschilds...) |

Firstly, the "prime minister" of AMERICA (yea baby US of A is a republic so no PM for them) DID not come and visit the Land Down Under.It was Dick Cheney -- I think...feel free to shut me down if I'm wrong, and it was the Sydney bridge...and Mr. J Howard would of gone to WASHINGTON D.C. NOT NEW YORK!
As for the whole "getting Australia back off America"...its globalisation or the term I love... 'McDonaldisation' and I'm sure theres American's wishing we'd take Terri Irwin back...we do have a choice, we can choose to not become American...and as I'm from Hobart, I'm not feeling that Americanized...(haha yes I know).
Ps. John Hunt is a Coward. |

I don't recall that we wanted Australia. |

It will never happen! Like it or not the majority of Australians love the lifestyle that the Americans sell to the world. Australia is just a smaller version of America. The only thing remotely like Australia now is if you take a trip to a very small town in country Australia were things have not changed! |

You are referring to the British and not the American! If you really want to be silly, then we sent you CRIMINALS there for a reason, we don't want you back and if you want to be more silly then do we really need a "New South Wales"? Isn't one enough?
And to be more stupid, isn't it all the "Queensland", you know what I mean?
Kid, get over it. |
