being an Aussie, I think the same as a lot of Aussies, that we live in the best country on earth and have no need to brag about it (and of course we are right!!) but yes, there are wankers here too, truckloads of them.

I spent the last few years working in USA, Canada and the UK and although people are different there, the ratio of wankers to "normal human beings" is the same. The only thing I found hard were some of the all pervading attitudinal differences that the Americans have to say the British or Australians, but that is just a cultural thing that I have as a result of my own heritage.

It is sad that all the Americans I met in the UK tried to tell me (and everyone) that they were Canadians, just to escape the stigma of being American. One girl, with a strong Texan accent tried to tell me she was from west coast Canada - I told her I had spent the last 8 months digesting the Texan accent so she should find some other bullshit to spew for me..........................!
