that the tone of their question says more about themselves than the people they're slandering. This seems to be a big problem for some countries in particular (ie Australia and America, both of which have an inferiority complex the size of our Sydney Opera House!) This is particularly the case when "sporting" events are discussed. If you call someone else "rotten", you are actually saying, although you're unaware of it, that you think YOU are rotten. Who has done this to you? Ask yourself. When I lived in England I used to support the visiting team whatever country they were from. This is so alien to Australians, they can't even imagine doing it, and if they need to cheat to "win" they'll do it if they can get away with it. (I was even attacked for NOT cheating at an exercise class!!) I look forward to the day when Australians know themselves to be as good as anyone else in the world and don't need to keep pretending to themselves and the rest of us that they think they're better.

2gone2car... I thought an Aussie would at least be able to spell Vegemite. As for mastURbation, I think that's your speciality! (Spelling certainly isn't!)
