JO,

I arrived at that conclusion because you stated:

How many major newspapers can they have?

In the post I was responding to. In that post and the latest you again generalize all Australians to this one article. I work with a bunch of Aussies and they hate that kind of comment. Yes, they are less than 10% our population, but are as diverse as we are.

Have you ever been there? Read any of their papers or did you just find one article you happen to like because it agreed with an opinion of yours and jump to the conclusion that all Aussies think that way?

I find it wonderful that you re-post the same article by one Australian living in Saudi Arabia as your retort. In the same amount of time it took you to type your response anyone could find 2 or 3 Australian papers with similar and opposing editorials on the web.

When someone disagrees with you, why do you get so vindictive? Maybe you could try an anger management class.

John

Gee, thanks for pointing out that the Australian government spoke for Australia. I thought Kangaroos did. Or was it Koalas?

Hmmm... should one infer that the Bush administration, being the current US government, speaks for you??
