You claim Andrew Burke has only a superficial knowledge of your country but the huge generalisations you lobbed back about Australia showed no difference on your behalf.
You have an Australian friend, good for you I hear they're great. That does not indicate a larger knowledge of our country.
The points you refuted me with were valid but you missed that I was saying you are not *geographically* as isolated as you made out. I never once disagreed with your cultural reasoning because I wouldn't enter that argument with the little knowledge I have.
And as a sidebar I don't hate America or Americans. A friend of mine from work just got back from a trip over there and had nothing but nice things to say about the people - even though he and his party were constantly mistaken for being English and nobody understood his name (Michael).
