Is it true, Australian-Indonesian relationship is in jeopardy because of some stupid cartoons?

Yes. But I think its not just only about this cartoons, the political fierce between this two countries is being escalated since Australia granted temporary protection visas to 42 of 43 Papuans who arrived by boat at Cape York in January.\n\nAustralia must choose between two: Maintain bilateral ties with Indonesia, or have a relationship with the 42 Papuans raising the banner of the Free Papua Movement.\n\nThen the problem was increased, with "Cartoon's War" from both of this countries.\n\nBe Wise...:)

He is an absolute goon. \n\nyes, he is really like that, and no most people in australia are not like him.\n\nI am Australian\n\n95% of Australians live in a city near the coast. \n\nnot our hunting crocs.\n\nbut we don't just party and laze around on the beach (if only!) \n\nI woke up this morning at 7:30 and put on my security pass and tie, walked out into the frost and drove to my office, here i sit in air conditioned comfort, eyeing off the vending machines and pretending to work. \n\nthis is pretty much the same as most people in Australia, and indeed the world\n\nI am a very adventurous person, but i have only ever "wrestled" one croc, and it was a baby in a zoo.\n\ni very rarely say "crickey", i do not flail my arms about. i would never be seen dead in such tiny shorts, let alone khaki.\n\nI have been out bush many many times, but most people don't. \n\ni have met an australian who had never seen a kangaroo.\n\ni grew up in Canberra, our capital city, kangaroo's would come off the mountains and down into the city streets, possums live in peoples rooves and you'll occasionally see a kookaburra on a telephone pole. but you hardly ever see platypi, wombats or echidna's.\n\nYes we have spiders and snakes, but snakes avoid cities, and when i found a red back in my shower this morning i hit it with a magazine. my house is very normal, my friendsa are very normal, yes we all have accents, but then, we think you have accents.\n\nmy Life looks just like an american sitcom, my office and home are no different. \n\nthere are factories and offices and building sites, just like anywhere.\n\nSteve Irwin is a c0ck

Why is it that Austrailia wants to blame all of the crime on Americans? How is the irony there? Any one remember Botany Bay? If you are looking for logic, it's not down under.

Are you joking?\n\nSeriously the aussie culture has been under attack in recent years thanks majorly to immigration laws, I think that every true blue aussie has a right to defend their culture and way of life in general. I think you will find that as a majority in this country we are slowly becoming a siling minority to other cultures.\n\nI think in general we embrace difference and diversity amongst our community but within reason, we will take the good aspect (i.e. what you bring that will contribute to the great good of our communities) but will defend our way of life against any bad that any other culture brings.\n\nI dont want you to think that i a racist, because I am certainly not, but do wish that people coming to our country should leave all their "bad" at the front door before they come in. Forget your ethnic rivalries, forget your wars and your bloody past, your vengful way of life and come and join into our way of life, one that is considered by all as a happy go lucky one. \n\nThat is my view and I dont mean to insight violence or anything of the kind i just want everyone and everything to be taken as face value and not to be judged with preconcieved ethnic notions from lets face it another life.

The best thing about them is the humour in each comic strip I read. The behaviour was pranky, but not to the level of discomfort. The Hobbes-change-from-doll-to-real-mate is a must not to be missed favorite thing of mine! Don't you just WISH that this can happen to our lives? You are good in spotting good cartoons, mate. High Five! I share this favorite with you!

well it doesnt have anything to do with the cartoon.  the cartoon was published 5 months ago.  it probably has to do with the iranian nuclear ambitions.

Scary Rabbit!\n\nThis happens to be the United States of America and for the moment what ability the common person may have towards freedom of speech is golden (even for you).\n\nJust because the Australians conduct themselves a certain way doesn't make them right ... it is just a reminder that what happened in South Africa is possibly just around the corner for Australians too.\n\nThe world, in general, is becoming homogenized (whether we like it or not) due in part to the Internet and our ability to communicate worldwide instantaneously.  Like it or not homogenization of the cultures and the various races will be the cause that will silence the lambs ... not Australia's way of life!

Australia was pissed, at the time they were at war with their neighbor, Japan. Having been close allies with the US, Australia saw the vietnam war as  another front of war, one that they could not afford to fight along side the US with, when all their funds where being directed towards Japan.\n\nEventaully Australia lost the war, and Japan took the copyrights for the sony playstation, the issue which had sparked the entire war in the first place.

I totally agree. I was pi***d when he won and I don't at all think it's 'racist' to want the winner of 'Australian Idol' to be an Aussie. \nI'm not saying that you have to be born here but at least become an Aussie citizen first.\nIt kinda makes a mockery of the show's name.

BEIJING: Chinese TV commentator Huang Jianxiang has apologised for his pro-Italian anti-Australian rant to an audience of many millions at the end of the World Cup match between the two teams on Monday. \n\nAfter Italy’s controversial last-minute penalty, which saw them through to the quarter-finals, Huang gave vent to his love of Italian football and his disdain for an Australian team he said was packed with players who lived in Europe. His remarks sparked a huge debate in China and rumours spread through internet chat rooms all day Tuesday – that a group of Australians had protested at the foreign ministry, the Australian embassy had complained to CCTV and Huang had been sacked. \n\nThe initially unapologetic Huang, who was backed by 50 percent of voters in one online poll, reconsidered his position and a letter was posted on the website of state-run CCTV. “I am familiar with Italian football and I hoped that the Italians would gain a berth in the last eight, to make the matches more exciting, but I have mingled my feelings and the role of my job. “It is not a standpoint that a TV commentator should have. I will apologise to those fans who express their dissatisfaction.” he said. Reuters\n\n\nPenalty! Penalty! Penalty! Grosso's done it, Grosso's done it! The great Italian left back! He succeeded in the glorious traditions of Italy! Facchetti, Cabrini and Maldini, their souls are infused in him at this moment! Grosso represents the long history and traditions of Italian soccer, he's not fighting alone at this moment! He's not alone! \n\n"Goooooal! Game over! Italy win! Beat the Australians! They do not fall in front of Hiddink again! Italy the great! Left back the great! Happy birthday to Maldini! Forza Italia! The victory belongs to Italy, to Grosso, to Cannavaro, to Zambrotta, to Buffon, to Maldini, to everyone who loves Italian soccer! Hiddink ... lost all his courage faced with Italian history and traditions ... He finally reaped fruits which he had sown! They should go home. They don't need to go as far away as Australia as most of them are living in Europe. Farewell!"
