Unless you're Black in which case you're free to say 'Nigger' - or White, in which case you dont have that freedom....

Damned inequity everywhere....

I don't support the idea that blacks can use the N word among themselves, I think that if they find that offensive, no one should use that word. That is what equality means.

Yes, you are right. I meant to write the former.

Chaps, I think I will call it a day. I thought I had Australia figured out, but apparently I don't. I must say, I am proud to be an American. As for being an Australian... I probably won't mention that fact ever again.

What you getting shitty with me for?
The gloves are off.
what's the point in swearing at an Australian in French?.
You obviously didn't have the bottle to do it in English.
I'll tell you now, I wouldn't have left that restaurant with my Mrs without first pulling that bloke and belting him.
Even if resulted in me getting a hiding.
Swearing in French!!! Pathetic!!!
When you left that restaurant,you left your balls behind and I'm sure the Aussies were kicking them around the floor for the rest of the evening.
Man up!!!

Considering most people were tentatively supportive of you at the start, you've done remarkably well to piss everyone off in the space of 6 pages

Well, it all went pear shaped on page 2. How did they know you were American? Nobody likes America because of this that and the other.

Maybe BILDER is a checkout chick from Indiana. My husband and I (then my boyfriend) were buying groceries in Indiana years ago and the checkout chick found our Australian accents very amusing, so she called over all the other employees to listen to us speak. One of the girls was most intrigued and asked if we were from Paris, France.
