He also lived their for a decade

@@hitmonkey3602 yes, but I’m sure interaction with the wife helped get the nuance lol

@@TheMelbournelad it’s the only true way to pick it up.! 😉😃 ✌🏻🇦🇺🌏🤘🏻

We don’t know extreme cold Jen!

We also have lovely animals like drop bears

@@raze263Quiet, you’ll scare the Americans.

I lived in Asia, Europe, and now am living in Australia. Disagree with your statement

Best beaches yes, surf and tropica yes, extreme cold.....Nope...Europe/UK, Canada, Russia, Mongolia etc have extreme cold.

Yes we do. 🤘🇦🇺

Show them a photo of an Australian spider. Preferably a Huntsman. Tell them "that's generally what we have in our house at any time (until the cats get their paws on it)". Instant turn-off. "omg, you're from Australia? that's so awesome, I would love to...

That's right, we are all aiming to be sophisticated rednecks. I might be a ditch diggers son but I am still classy 😉

You mean the criminal caste.

Well, sort of @ian59, though with a few rather important distinctions: US Foundational culture derived from the Reformation and its immediate Puritan aftermath (and later its respect for ‘experts’ from its enormous number of C19 German immigrants), while Australia derived it’s Foundational European cultural and political influences from the Enlightenment, consequently giving us much stronger and more critical bullshit detectors than most Americans (according to Robert Hughes); our social values from the Catholic Irish (according to Oliver MacDonagh) as well as the English Non-Conformists (Stuart Piggin); and the concept of Empire Loyalty (similar to Canada and NZ, but demonstrably not the US!!) as it was just entering its greatest Imperial phase (according to Manning Clarke as well as Stuart Macintyre). We more or less share a language as well as a similar material culture, but we’re a very long way apart in fundamental social values: Australians are mostly Communitarian (Liberal/Socialist/Communist according to those very many Americans who are politically illiterate), while the vast majority of Americans believe in the concept of ‘Individualism’. I provide this rather long historical/philosophical ramble because so many Americans seem to see us as their younger cousins: honestly, we really aren’t.

Except Americans got religious fundamentalist and Australians got criminals ….. guess who got the better deal! It isn’t America!

Nope. We are Not sibs. Not cousins. Not family at all. There is very little we have in common apart from our old connections to Britain and the English language. Apart from the British sending their unwanted, unloved, unwashed to our shores. The "New World" got British slaves, convicts and indentured servants along with some military (some quite unsavoury) and a boatload of religious outcasts. We got convicts and the military.

are you sleeping under a fucking rock my guy

Awwwwwwww we love the NZ and Australian hotties 💕💖💘💝💗💕☁️🌜✨

Watching movies is one thing but going to the states is another 🤢

You can only speak for yourself…

Yeah righto...truth is we hate septic tanks

@@artemisxw8708 who is we?

@heidicross7255. Oh Heidi, Why you so angry? who hurt you so bad? its only comedy and everything will be ok. I promise.

​@@joetesta5730But it is true.

Pardon? Please speak English. 🇦🇺

​@@stephanieyee9784 he's not Australian mate he's trying to clown us.

He even redefined Australian claiming his Chinese wife is an Aussie.

@@11kungfu11 You mean he redefined Australia claiming Australians are white?

@@11kungfu11 - If you're going to gatekeep about how Australians should look, you would surely use the aborigines as the template. After all, they beat all the other nationalities here by tens of thousands of years. I mean, you're saying someone born in Melbourne isn't Australian because... why?

@@11kungfu11chines have neem here just as long as white people. Who are you to say she’s not aussie. Smh

@@11kungfu11Ronny’s wife was born in Australia and has Vietnamese heritage.

Funny - an Asian woman on TikTok said there is more social mixing in Brisbane than in Sydney. She says in Sydney it's either an Asian woman with an old white dude, or the rest of the Asians are in the Asian part of town. Maybe she was in the Eastern suburbs. Downtown Sydney you'll see a lot of mixture, but maybe not socialising; just walking down the street.

@@JamesLamb many of the people in the CBD are students - and that holds in both cities. Technically, they are supposed to go home when they finish their degree but that's a whole other thread.

Canberra is comically white..

Australia is? It’s probably the safest country on earth

Yeah, right. You probably have never even been.

You've definitely been there right?

Clearly you've never been here haha

Explain

You don't know anything about Australia. Nor the population programs Britain ran to get people here. Let alone the dutch history.

Idiotic. Moronic.

America was Britain’s prison before Australia was.

​​@@lonnie224, I second that. There is so much Americans do not know about their country's history that its literally not funny. They don't know that Britain sent its convicts to the New World long before they shipped them over here. They don't know that Britain sent ship loads of white British indentured servants ie slaves to the colonies. Most Americans do not know, believe or recognise the Fact that the Spanish were the first Europeans to permanently colonise North America. The first settlement was in Florida, St Augustine. The bottom half of what is now the USA was Spanish, and by default Mexican.

lol.. WTF?!

Speak for yourself

No , we dont like Americans

Australians have tall poppy syndrome and love the nanny state

Here here. Love America.. but common guys.
