What is your country known for?

My best friend in fifth grade was an Australian immigrant. He was a bad influence on me. I liked him a lot though. ;’:slight_smile:

Sorry about this I know you don’t represent those evils… I mainly think of Australians as slightly crude because they came over as criminals but never think of them as in the light you speak of. I just think of my friends dad who was an alcoholic with no filter as a “typical” Australian…he wasn’t racist. Nice guy. Sad to hear that all. You’re not native to Australia are you???

When I think of Australia, I think of a landscape actively trying to kill you. Didn’t you have a prime minister just up and vanish off a sandy beach one day?

At first when you talked about it I figured you were from the US until you used the word aboriginal. Still sounds like the US though, at least parts of it anyways.

I guess I am surprised. You reminded me at least twice that people outside the US see it as known for things quite different from what most Americans think it’s known for. (But very much because I don’t want to stir up some patriot-vs.-revisionist flap here, I’ll just post a… :sunglasses: .)
