Re: Are Australians Weird???
So. To get to the nuts and bolts of this. You're right because you're a born and bred Aussie, whilst an immigrant, no matter how long they've lived here is incorrect by dint of the fact that they're from foreign shores?
Given which, what makes you think you're right in your assertion that all the Brits are like some big tribal happy family marching down the streets arm-in-arm (borderline homosexual behaviour, surely) like a national band-of-brothers, whom after two pints of heavy will befriend you forever - despite the fact that everyone else is a born-and-bred pom and disagrees with you?
Can't have it both ways mate.

Re: Are Australians Weird???
Actually "the English" do have a tendency towards homosexuality-and rather obviously this feeds into my point about Aussies. My theory being that this pre-existing inclination has further developed in Australia.

I know an aussie who actually enjoys going for his over 40 prostate exam.
And no, not because of the free lollypop at the end of the consultation.

Re: Are Australians Weird???
Only a tendency? And only an inclination? So would you say that people are born gay, or become gay due to outside influences?

Re: Are Australians Weird???
In other words I believe that the percentage of people "born gay" is relatively static(though this might not be the case) across cultures. However an additional number are gay as a result of outside influences.
Actually I believe most people are neither born gay or straight and become one OR the other OR both as a result of outside influences.

Re: Are Australians Weird???
I've actually raised an eyebrow.
I'm not gay (proof on submission of email address) but my exclusive public schooling has pre-disposed me to liking ginger beer, playing sport and saying "Hurrah" every opportunity whilst being rodgered senseless by the CCF RSM.
