Oz had, & still dose have a culture of it's own, but............... This is being eroded with Americanism. America has given us fast food outlets that now pollute our highways, and are turning us into an obese nation, like the USA.
It has given us evangelism, Mormonism, as well a many other cults, that do noting but rape souls, take your cash. As well are so fare right, they are wrong, most of the time, and poison everything.
America, also gave us Vietnam. As well other wars to help them fight. But..... would rather have em as an Allie.

Re: Has America been good, for the rest of the world?
Wed, February 13, 2008 - 12:22 AMI agree.
All that crap about "spreading democracy" is a politically sensitive way of describing IMPERIALISM.
All empires thought they were benevolent by spreading, by force if people resisted, their way of life and Americans are genuinely surpised that the Iraqi's are not happy to get a Burger King and that Vietnamese kids should be GRATEFUL for sewing our golf shirts.
Of course, Europe and England have not been much better. Or the Japanese...or the Chinese for that matter. -

"Simpson's.."
Forgetting an apostrophe is ok, adding one where it doesn't belong is not excusable.
"Brady Bunch, & the Partridge Family, or Gilligan's island."
None of those shows are even comparable. From 1990 to about 1998, The Simpsons was the most creative show on network television.... -

The Simpson's; Yuk, it 'tis dreadful! All about a dysfunctional family from hell, that is Hepatitis ridden, and full of bad attitude. This show was written for adults, yet children watch it. One (& it dose belong here!) would not let one's child watch this shit. I would not let them read the Bible either until they were grown up, as the Bible is for Adults to.
The only time one watched the Simpson's was to do a school assignment, and it got one top marks.
Yes the Simpson's has polluted the rest of the world. Written for Americas trailer park people.

Like it or not, American English has become the standard. And I've been "outside America" a number of times. I'm pretty good with accents. But what's up with your terrible grammar and punctuation? Surely, Aussie English has rules, does it not? Not being educated is no excuse to write as poorly as you do....

The Simpsons is a satire, Pattison. The program parodies Middle America. You do know what satire and parody are, don't you? I mean, Australien literature is considerably more primitive than that of the US, but surely as descendants of British trash, and the British being master satirists, your people took away that much knowledge when they were banished from the UK, no?
"The only time one watched the Simpson's was to do a school assignment, and it got one top marks."
You went to school?
"Yes the Simpson's has polluted the rest of the world. Written for Americas trailer park people."
As opposed to Australia's trailer park people, which is to say all of Australia's people...

Big fella, If all one had to pick on you was you abuse size, then one would have nothing on you at all. So your insults do not wound one, as one is sure, one give more to humanity, than you do.......... there must be something for you verbal gonorrhea? You are a great example of why one has nothing to do with the gay community, their vile mouths, and they think it 'tis educated, and smart.

It took you 24 minutes to locate, spell out, and digest the word "satire", didn't it?
The Simpsons has something for people of all ages. Your determination that a great show offering a brilliant example of a valuable literary form shouldn't be watched by children is retarded. Not surprising, considering the source...
"Big fella, If all one had to pick on you was you abuse size, then one would have nothing on you at all. So your insults do not wound one, as one is sure, one give more to humanity, than you do.........."
Huh?
"there must be something for you verbal gonorrhea?"
Huh?
"You are a great example of why one has nothing to do with the gay community, their vile mouths, and they think it 'tis educated, and smart."
Right, because I'm so gay and spend like so much time hanging out in "The Gay Community." Got it.
"Sorry Big fella, one is a Descendant of the Swiss. The most divers county, and people on earth. Oh so it's not america. oh no......."
A.) Switzerland is NOT the most diverse countries on the planet. On the contrary, that boring, landlocked nation full of grim, money counting shopkeeps peddling nothing but watches and chocolate is one of the least diverse places on earth. What can you expect from a place where the national dish is melted cheese?
B.) No one claimed that the US was the world's most diverse nation. It IS a far cry more diverse than Switzerland, however.
C.) I think you've had enough to drink, Pattykins. Time to go pass out now.

Dude, the country is nothing but rednecks. Seriously. Like 70 percent of the Australien people opposed the PM's apology to the Aborigines last week. To this day the Aborigines are the worst treated indigenous population on the planet.
It's like if you took the South, sucked it free of all history and culture, pretended like the civil rights movement never happened, and dumped it in the South Pacific, there's Australia. What's amusing to me is that if they're so concerned with protecting their "culture", why are they singing about it with C&W music? That's an American musical form. Don't they have like their own jawpicking musical styles? I guess not. -

Re: Has America been good, for the rest of the world?
Fri, February 15, 2008 - 2:03 PMRe Rednecks. Is America, not the root of rednecks! Dawn South. Trailer park Trash, Hollywood, Utah. No America is the one setting the pace of how we should live. Look at what they did to Americans, because of their fear of communism, Reds Under the bed. Look at how they still treat the blackfellas. People whom have contributed just as much to the growth of America, as the Whites. Oh I just loved the way I would be put ahead of the line, if two blackfellas were ahead of one. The look one got, when one said: no they were first.
I do not really care about America. One has American Friends one loves, just would not live there. I just hate the way the rest of the world is being forced feed americanism. You have fucked up you own county, now the world. You need no shooting scions, at your restaurants, and schools. Has there not Been ANOTHER school shooting in America, another one. Gee;s you sue over anything, all this coming from the land of the free.
Happy with ones grade 6 education. Been able to travel, have a nice big home, (so American.) I give more to mankind, than one take. So ones punctuation is fucked, so is America; the land of the free. I give the rite to speech, and I take it too. Being a survivor of torture, were ones childhood was murdered, and soul raped, just because ones protestant father was forced to marry a Catholic tramp, and one was born a Protestant aristocrat, but had the evil religion, of catholicism forced on one. One has grown to be grounded, and giving members of the community. One sleeps well at night. Punctuation, hmmm. Dose one even have any/ No but One has a big home, food to put out in the trash, and ones is able to save something of every pay. Thank god, I am an Aussie, we are the land of the free. -

Re: Has America been good, for the rest of the world?
Fri, February 15, 2008 - 3:23 PMRe: Ones poor punctuation, & spelling. Yes it would of helped if one had an education as a child, but none the less. One has done better, than a lot of people whom did get an education as a child! Also, while you all, were at school. One was out living life.
One at this time just can't help, to remember back to May of 1999; just before Mothers Day. One talked to a Russia about ones B'day of that year, then the next, then the one in 2001; ones 40th B'day. One stated on this day in May of, 1999. That when one awaken on ones 40th B'day, the world would of changed, and changed it had. America was put on it's knees, and the world was in shock.
On also stated this day would be called September the 11th, and 9/11 it 'tis known as. But to one, it would be known as September the 12th, ones 40th B'day. And this it 'tis. As when one went to bed on September the 11th, 2001. the world was the same! But when awoke on the 12th of September, the world had changed. On talked about this in forums as this one in 1999, 2000, 2001. One was abused by people like big fella, as well ridiculed. One sated that September the 12th, 2001. should named Internationale beer drinking day, as the world would nned a drink, and wee, we did.
Now no seers from Vat City, or even Utah, were talking about this, nor America. But I an uneducated Aussie. was! Dose one care if one had a poor education as a child, hmmm No! Dose one feel a wee bite superior rite now, hmmmm. Maybe. MWA my ass.
One did start this off as a lite hearted conversation, yet Americans have no satire on this issue, yet they pollute the world, with what they think is funny! hey as Aussies, we are able to make fun of our selves! Hmmm the truth. -

Are you saying that Sweden can only be Sweden because America basically paid for them to be Sweden? I would agree with you were we talking about most other countries in Western Europe - they can basically afford to be socialist because we provide them with defense, but surely not Sweden! I think all nations, if they really wanted to, could be Sweden. Sweden is the end of history. -
-
Re: Has America been good, for the rest of the world?
Sat, February 16, 2008 - 3:31 PM>Sweden is the end of history.
It will be when they try to retire. Despite their high tax rate, they have nonetheless also borrowed huge amounts of money to be paid off by the millions of children they are not having in comparison to many other nations. For another thing, Swedes live too long for the formula to work, even if they had a few more kids than they do.
Really, it's ironic that Romania will probably be in better shape than Sweden in 20 years. Nicolae Ceauşescu had a zero-tolerance policy for all forms of birth control until about 1990. Within the next 5 years, you should expect to see young, educated Romanians popping up all over Europe and the rest of the world to fill the hole left by children of the educated classes who have never been born. Global industry will have to pay a lot for their labor, and a lot of the money will be going home to Romania.

Re: Has America been good, for the rest of the world?
Sat, February 16, 2008 - 2:08 PMPattison, the word is "right", not "rite." Rite is what you do at the Mormon temple or whatever religion you belong to these days.
Whites compose 92% of the Australien population, Asians 7%. Your dusty, forgotten nation is significantly whiter than the United States. I would hardly call that an "invasion." On the contrary, I'd call it a blatant example of typical Australien racism at work. -

Re: Has America been good, for the rest of the world?
Sat, February 16, 2008 - 2:41 PMNumbers may well give one view, but going out some times, one dose feel like one is in an Asian county. Some Suburbs, are 90 whatever %. So are same for some gay clubs. Full of Asians. I want more Africans.
Have no religion, stopped being a mick, by becoming a Mormon. So one would not be a mick anymore. Can not be a fag, and a Mormon, as they are all about breeding, and fags don't breed. Oh thanks for the spelling lesson.
One's favorite way to eat take away (or in USA to go) is Japanese. Just love that raw fish, and beef. Also love the Japanese culture, as in art. -

Re: Has America been good, for the rest of the world?
Sat, February 16, 2008 - 3:20 PMYou feel overwhelmed by Asians because you live in an urban area. Urban areas invariably attract people from other nations, and that's a GOOD thing; it's a sign that international commerce is probably under way in some form.
More Africans? Great idea. But why would they come there? To share with Australia their great advances in the automotive, computer and nuclear energy industries?
It's not the fault of a bunch of gay Asians congesting the Sydney clubs that Africa remains a 'slow starter' in global commerce. That is... not any more their fault than yours, Pattison. Somehow, though, it must be the Americans' fault... right?
It's interesting to me that while your government is busy saying sorry to the blackfella, the blackfella you want to see more of is not Australian.
Hmmm. -

Re: Has America been good, for the rest of the world?
Sat, February 16, 2008 - 3:50 PMRe: More Africans. . Dawn here, over the past few years, the influx, of Africans has been growing. Have met some truly nice people.
As for RE: wanting to see more black fella. As an Aussie from the bush, One dose have a number of mates whom are native born black fella. My youngest bro, has also bred with them. So they are now also on the family tree.
Don't get to meet many in the CITY. But was talking about immigration. Plus Australia, had received a great deal of illegal Asians since the 1970's. It was our fault, that they stayed, as we did not put them back on the boat, and send them back home. Or they come as a student, and refuse to go home. Once again, we have not put em on a plan, and made them go home. Immigration should be mixed, not just one form of race.
Sorry but don;t Do Sydney night clubs, OMG, Sydney Queens. But had a sexual relationship with black fella, before one, moved back to the city. Wanted him to come with one. But he would not leave his clan. -
