No, its not just you though I can't blame them.  Our country, particularly our government, has an air of arrogance about it.  I suppose this stems from Americanizing other cultures and our self proclaimed "world police" status.  While these stereotypes do not apply to individuals, that perception of our nation as a whole bleeds into people's attitudes towards us on a personal level.

I really don't care what their favourite sports are or are not. That is their choice. They have the right to enjoy whatever sports they like just as the rest of us do. I'm not obsessed with America or it's people. There are good and bad everywhere. I do not see them as superior to me or my country in any way, shape or form. With that said I can see why others get annoyed sometimes. While there are many wonderful people there are also those that are surrealistic and cannot praise any other country or achievement or accept anything less than being dominant and it's a shame they give the majority a negative appearance. I was annoyed at their attitude to Australia in relation to qualifying. and not to unhappy that those responsible are eating their words or suffering from foot in mouth disease. Why can't we all just respect each other and our differences.

Don't know much about this "special relationship" crap, but I do know what an A R S E licker is, and our country is run by one. The Scottish gentleman that wants to follow him, will further take us to the cleaners, and what can we do about it?.  When I see bush and blair, swaggering along like a couple John Wayne's, I wonder why they don't hold hands.  How much have they cost us ?. Weapons of mass destruction, what a load of bollocks.

What a waste of space you are to my country, if you can not support our country then get the hell out nobody wants you here anyway. As for who I would like to meet in a boxing ring that would be you and the a..hole who said he wants to beat up supporters of our president.

Dude, I am sure you can "Take him" as we say over here in the uk. But Dude, he is not worth it. Dont lower yourself to his worthless level. Hold your head high and go to the proper authorities. As citizens we pay for them to deal with these cowardly people. Dont tarnish your own hands, that is not in your best interests.

Because their government is the "Bully" of the world. Since when did bullies mind their own business. They believe they are the world's police, the world's judge, the world's role model ... well us "world" don't see them as any of the above .. and we're just waiting for the day when they realise that thay have far too many problems to solve in their own lands, with their own people and .

You're not third world in my book. You are America's greatest ally and we love your country! God bless you for always being there for us when everyone else is bitching. The Aussie's are a first world country as far as I'm concerned! Want to visit that beautiful country one day!

No, we are hated because we always have our noses in everyone else's business! We're kind of like the big bullies of the world, because we have the people and firepower to beat just about everybody, so they enforce their will whenever and whereever they want, even if the cause isn't a honest one. We're quick to "spread democracy" when you have citizens being treated like trash here! How can you fight a war to free people when people here couldn't pee in the same room? We're bullies, thats why they hate us!

Australia needs to get real. Your a nation of convicts who deny ex-felons the right to visit your country. You stole the land from the Aborigines and have inbred for the past 100 years, what is your problem?

The UK.  Definitely.  They even disagree with us sometimes and that is a true friend.  But, they watch our back and try to support us.  Unless they think we are in the wrong.  I don't know about you, but I want a friend to tell me if they think I am wrong.  \n\nAustralia backs us with blood, sweat, tears too.  But they have just a little too much of a tall poppy complex about us.\n\n\nJapan's friendship is completely fake.  It's something like when the company kissass tells the boss he has a nice tie.  It means nothing.  They would turn on us so quick...\nThey need us and so they appease us but i can tell you I witnessed with my own eyes two Japanese salarymen laughing with delight on Sept 12th 2001, at the replays of the planes crashing into the twin towers.  And after living there for five years, I got an overall idea about them.

In lots of ways Australia has a good outlook when it comes to embracing\nthe different cultures present.  The only problem I see is the absolute\nhatred of the aboriginal race.  I can't believe how accepted it is to bash\nthem. It really is a shame.

It depends on how long voters memories are.  Also, much and all as we may not like John Howard, luckily for him, the other parties have no one to measure up to him. Under Howard  Australian govt is looking good to the rest of the world, but the majority of Australians are hurting.

Hooray! I think I have a fellow Aussie on line! Totally agree with you - love the culture, hate the 'lerks and perks' just because they are the 1st Australians. This is a very big question, not easily answered. The Govt. seems to think that Aboriginals need to get 'sorry payments' we were not there when the pommies slaughtered the aborigines. Why should we say 'sorry?' I'm sorry that my Govt makes extra 'sorry payments' when we who were born here suffer lack of basic items.

No, its not any more dangerous than any other country. You only hear what media desides to make their news programs about, whatever they can dramatize to get as many viewers as possible.\nAmerican's adore Austrailians in general, you all have sided with us in nearly every war weve had, supported us as friends, and always stood by us no matter what throughout history. I personally think of Austrailia as our sister nation, we both of our countries cededed from England for simular reasons. American's are happy to welcome Australians here, were quite curious and admire you as a people.\nThis has NOTHING to do with Crocodile Dundee, but the way, in case you were wondering! LOL\nCome on over, welcome, well keep the light on for ya!
