I don't think hate or resentment are what Australia feels for the US, we just really don't have a connection with them or "get" them. If you want hate and resentment towards Americans, go to the Middle East. At my kids school in Dubai they had a big parade on International Day, out of the 52 countries attending the school, they all received applause, except for the poor American kids who had to contend with boos and jeers from the crowd. It was quite horrible, and I felt sorry for them.

or
b) Creeping Americanisation and hijacking of culture (such as it is)
Hate is too strong a word though.

That's surprising really, considering so much of the country has been modeled around the yank, plastic, neon lights, drive thru paradigm. Add that to the fact the Aussies have really thrown themselves behind the idea of giving the septics a run for their money in the obescity stakes.

Very true... incredibly weak actress in far too much. I guess she is attractive, if you like a head on a stick, but her simmering pout really drags a film down to 'B' movie

'Forum' might be a somewhat lofty term... It's more like a load of old women getting a blue rinse and a blow wave at the hairdressers havin' a good ol' tittle-tattle over a garibaldi

I don't think they do. Because of my accent people often assume I'm American and I certainly have never felt anything even close to resembling hate. As a matter of fact, people are usually quite interested in hearing about the US.
