A recent survey showed that Aussies arn't exactly popular around the world.
Apparently the English refer to Australians as "JAFA'S" meaning "Just Another F'g Aussie" other countries thought Australian people to be big-headed and rude.
I'm curious to read what people think, I am Australian myself and take no offense to anything written on here.
Please, do write your honest opinion.
Cheers!

Now this is cheating but I am Australian and I think we are legends! I guess while they think of us as big headed we think of Pommies as posh losers who drink tea all day and Americans as a war hungry country but as with most first impressions, most people are not like this. For example when I went to England two years ago hardly anyone I knew drank tea or warm beer but they all had the same funny accent, which I guess they think about us. Same with Americans. We have bogans in Australia but so does every other country so all those people in the survey who didnt like Australia I want you to come over here and meet some of our people and see how nice we are.

I have this urge to apologize for the English ....good old human guilt, I guess... Well, let's see-I think Mel Gibson is BEAUTIFUL, Olivia Newton-John is beautiful, Michael Hutchins was AMAZING!! Um, I guess my limited info leads me to believe Aussies are a pretty people. Oh. And I love the beer commercial. I guess they're a witty people also. I'm afraid I'd have to know a whole lot more of them (personally I mean, unfortunately I don't know any) before I had a valid opinion about Australians as a whole...YOU seem fine to me...Maybe you should ignore the rumors of little minds... }:> Ah, Luvhurts?: You digress...

I assumed Australians were hard-working people, using their land to the best of their ability, and hopefully treating the aborigine better than Americans treated the Native Americans, but I could be wrong.
I've only met a New Zealander, and noticed the accent was different.

i've got on no account met an Australian individually yet television has given me a stable effect (glory be & hallelula). i like your accessory & there are not many i like. Do people stay interior the outback? uncertain yet i comprehend there are a number of that make a residing below harsh situations (ranching as an occasion) & i know their potential of character. All in all, you have a favorable photograph (with the exception of all those nasty snakes slithering around & approximately).

Hey, being an Aussie myself, I think the English are pretty rude in calling us JAFA'S, considering our heritage/ancestry is closely linked !!
Having travelled a little, I find us to be fairly honest and friendly to "foreigners" who come to our sunny shores. So I don't agree with their opinion !!

Hard working people. Nice to chat to. My nan is Australian. Love the accent. Sweet people who apparently love animals.

I LOVE the way they sound when they talk!!! It is the neatest accent ever! You know what I mean Mate!? My kids and I always try to sound like them but we just can't do it. We usually end up sounding like something never heard before!

I've never met one in person, but the ones that I chat with in IM are really cool, and I love the accent.

They're all just jealous of the hot accent...I LOVE Australians, and their accents are so fun to listen to!
