*Newsflash* Australia may live under a nanny government and tremble at the though of an armed citizenry, but it isn't as uptight and politically correct as other cultures, and thank God for that. My advice to any white horse Yankees and Limeys: Suck it up. Australians give about as much as a shit about foreign condemnation as the Yanks do about U.N condemnation. Our sense of humour will continue to be 'abrasive' whether you like it or not.

I thought Mel Gibson's film was bloody hilarious. I hadn't seen such a load of bollocks, dressed up as 'history' in a long, long, time.

Not really, I addressed your point of view that as an Aussie you can say what you like in the name of humour and that's ok.
