Default Are Aussie blokes a bit dull?

Fuelled by the success of the poll fatigue poll, I thought it was time for a bit of healthy debate, which requires me to postulate a rather controversial idea, accompanied by the obligatory poll.

I know may get slated for saying this, but, tbh, I don't care
Aussie blokes are a bit dull IMO.
Most, not all.
Yes, a generalisation, and therefore not deemed a valid opinion by many.
Funny thing is, everyone generalises (get it?), it's how we form opinions.

Time to test my idea out....

Don't know/care.
I've got my lovely Welsh bloke, and he is all I need.

Ah, but all blokes could be a bit dull, and I still wouldn't know or care. Doesn't just apply to Aussies.

Met a lot of dull as dishwater English in my time.....

Ohhh I couldn't leave the village. I pay darts here every thursday night.

Met a lot of dull Aussies too. Never met a dull member of the Hitler Youth though.

You must have an opinion..
I don't buy this 'some are ...., some aren't ....' angle that is popular on forums.
It's too easy a conclusion to arrive at. In itself, dull

It may be a dull conclusion, but it is fairly accurate- you can't class every man as dull, just because you have met some that are. That is a sweeping generalisation.

But that is an opinion, its my opinion and just because you dont buy it is because that your opinion, in my opinion and I like arriving at easy conclusions uses less brain matter but doesnt make me dull.

Not calling you dull, more the easy process of making a bland statement which means nothing.

Why is that a bland statement, we are all different. Some people are dull and others aren't, its a personal perception of others.
