Not at all. We view you as "the one that got lucky".
Lucky, because we are not under a monarchy or lucky for another reason?
Still waiting on the answer.

Lucky because out of all the rebellions america had little to complain about compared to the africans, indians and most of the other rebellions which lost. America had brittish money and technology but without the inbred leaders who were only of rank because they wer rich.

Skoffin's comments in the truck thread have led me to ask something I've often wondered, "Are Australia and the US *practically* the same country?"

We're both astonishingly fat. Countries. And rugged, yes?

Not that John Howard isn't the PM I hope we won't follow Bush blindly into whatever mess he makes.

From what I've noticed, there's actually quite a large anti-US feeling in Australia. Many steriotypical stories about how stupid "Americans" are. Those videos where New Yorkers can't remember the date of 9/11 are brought up often. Everyone likes to look down on someone, I suppose.

In foreign relations the two countries have been nigh identical. Hopefully Rudd (that man's political career has skyrocketed lately. 2 years ago he was part of the political section on one of those crappy morning news programs, now he's PM of Australia...) has a little more originallity than his predecessor. I don't think there'll be much change, though. John Jackson and Jack Johnson...

U.S. Americans very much LIKE Australians, I think. Perhaps more generally so than any other nationality. However, our stereotypes of Australians would certainly not be FLATTERING to the majority of Australians.

You were talking about bogans driving 4WD, which seemed so paralleled to rednecks like muy thaiguy and trucks. And then I started thinking about how similar Australia (a country I've most admittedly never visited) and the US seem to me. And I thought, "I've already made a thread about that!" And then remembered, "Oh wait, no, that was Canada. What was that thread again?" And so...

Like thinking the lot of them are like Steve Irwin and like to go to the Outback Steakhouse and are easily tricked into accepting Rocky Mountain Oysters as a snack?

Something of the sort. I was thinking more along the lines of Crocodile Dundee, but that's just a generational gap of no consequence. We've got the same idea.

What are the US' steriotypes for Australia? The main Australia ones for the US seem to be Bible Belter, Redneck (generally connected to Bible Belter) and mouth-breathing imbecile. Positive steriotypes evidently aren't very popular...

Also, they don't know how to properly make maps...

I actually tend to like this perspective.

got that right

Let's put it this way: number #1 reason John Howard(our last pm) was hated because he followed George Bush into every mess.

Yeah America isn't loved that much

There is one big difference between America and Australia: America doesn't have 6 of the 10 most dangerous animals.

We do.
