I just got cursed out by a bunch of Australians for saying i support Kerry
I couldn't sleep, so i went into a chatroom on PalTalk. PalTalk is voice and text chat. The room i entered was called "Who is best for the USA, Bush or Kerry." I heard a bunch of Nazi Australians talking trash about Kerry. I told them i was voting for Kerry, and they went nuts cursing me out! Seconds later the room moderator kicked me out. It was sad/funny.

These chatrooms seem to attract the scum of the earth....literally.

2. Were they really Nazis?
Most neo-Nazi/white supremacists are anarchists who think Bush is way "too liberal" to lead. The real hardcores would pan both candidates. Especially Kerry.

4. Okay, maybe they weren't nazis
However, you should have heard the crap they were spewing. "John Kerry made a deal with the communists back when he was in Vietnam to destroy freedom!" LOL!

14. They were probably CHILDREN of Nazis
A shitload of them managed to get to the land Down Under and hide for years, claiming to be persecuted Austrians. Not all of them went to Uraguay, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, etc...quite a few went to Australia and lived openly for years, often not even bothering to change their names.

16. Really?
You ever been to Australia where you get the REAL Australian beer, mate? That stuff you have over there called Fosters happens to come from the Carlton and United Breweries in Canada. So it isn't the real deal.

7. Not like any of the Aussies I've met recently
And I've met several, for some reason. They are as anti-Bush as the rest of the world.

10. You can make your own rooms in PalTalk.
I could make a Kerry room and kick out who i wanted. The mod/room creator must have been a Bush supporter.

11. If you have ever seen some of the weird-ass automobiles ...
... they are forced to drive, maybe that explains this group's anal retentiveness.

17. Um....
...how are we forced to drive these so called "weird-ass automobiles?" Really if want to drive the big fuel guzzling yank tanks, we are quite welcome to either import one in for ourselves, or go to a car dealer that does the imports.

No one is forced here. By the way the two major car companies down here happen to be Ford (which is a subdivision of American Ford), and General Motors Holden (which of course is a subdivision of GMC), so you are in fact calling your own companies weird-ass. Good on ya!

"funny aussie cars". Holdens are far from that description. I wish we had Holden here in the states.

20. I live in a very international community for half the year, and Aussies
Edited on Tue Oct-26-04 12:35 PM by Zorra
are, in my opinion, the the most RW folks, in general, that I come in contact with. Other than Americans, that is. But it seems that there are a lot of Aussies that detest both John Howard and Bu$h also.

The rest of the world just pretty much passionately despises Bu$h.

21. My Ass-Hole NON Ass-Hole Theory of People
There are assholes everywhere: some call themselves Democrats, some Republicans, some athiests, some Christians, some Jews, some Muslums. Assholes don't want to get along with other people.

There are non-assholes everywhere: some call themselves Democrats, some Republicans, some athiests, some Christians, some Jews, some Muslums. Non-Assholes WANT to get along with other people.

The non-assholes just have to figure out how to let the Assholes have one half of the planet where they can all kill and maim each other over religion, politics, and everything. The non-assholes who want to get along with each other, regardless, stay on our side, they stay on their side.

Australians have assholes. But my experience is that most hate Shrub as much as the rest of the world, so don't insult their beer (that's the kind of behavior that edges you just a bit closer to the asshole category (won't in and of itself put you there)).

25. Don't bag the Aussies
I lived in Australia for 4 years recently. Everyone I knew HATED Bush with a passion. Anti-Bush T-shirts and posters are everywhere. The major cities (especially Melbourne and Sydney) are VERY left-leaning. Unfortunately, a lot of the rural areas do tend to breed more right-wing kooks...but we have plenty of that here in US too as you know.

My wife is Australian and she's been doing tons of volunteer work for the Kerry campaign here.

I think Howard keeps winning there because the opposition party keeps putting up very flawed candidates. Howard's popularity is not as large as it might seem to the international observer.

And yeah, forget Foster's, that's made in Canada, it's basically a fraud (just like Outback Steakhouse...no one in Australia has ever heard of a "bloomin' onion").

26. Isn't Australia a colony of Texas. Same red dirt and necks.
We rented a cottage in England when we went there. There was a book for the guests to write their comments in. The ownder wrote in after some Australians comments, "Never Again! The Australians were trash who left the cottage in ruins! No more Australians!"

28. Many Austrailians are racist and sexist. Very high # of rapes.
Had a friend who was there for a few years and she absolutely hated the way she was treated. The one Austrailian that I've had dealings with was also very racist and sexist.

I'm not saying that they're all like that - I'm sure there are many nice Austrailians.

My thread was not meant as an invite to trash them! Please people, we are suppose to be better than this!

34. It would've helped had you not included "Australians" in the title
y'know?

They might be mossad agents pretending to be Aussies! You just never know who's pluckin away at the other end.

33. I used to date a (liberal) Australian
He told me about some of the right wing crazies they have down there. Most Aussies I've met have been wonderful, though.
