It never ceases to amaze me how often you find these vile, hateful, uninformed rants from a sad Brits with a massive chip on the shoulder when it comes to Aussies (although the original post was quite civilised. Nonetheless, many others are not and the point is still valid). It never ceases to amaze me that some of you Brits want to view us as bunch of classless, uneducated, uniformed, nasty and arrogant, stupid, racist bastards, yet you post vile rubbish on the net about us on an almost daily basis (where are the Australian pages saying "We hate the British!" "We hate the Americans!" by the way?) You gifted the English language with the word "Hooliganism" (ever been to Spain and Poland and seen the signs up that say "No British"?) and then have the hide to call us classless, drunken louts. British sport fans and tourists are the worst travellers in the world. What pot calling the black nonsense! What a shining example of intelligence, wisdom, and cultural refinement some of you are too, with your posts full of spelling and grammar mistakes and loads of F-bombs and C words. Try using punctuation for once in a while too, like full stops, commas, and paragraphs (by the way, where are the Australian pages saying "We hate the British!" "We hate the Americans!"?)
This uneducated, classless, Australian moron is doing a PhD in the translation and exegesis of ancient Chinese texts at the University of Sydney (and not I am not of Chinese extraction). Judging from the level of command of the English language that most of these posts are written, it’s clear that a great many of the authors probably grew up on a council estate and were expelled from high school, and have now come to Australia in search of a better life. While it is true that Britain and the US have some Ivy League type universities which are more established and more world class than Australian ones, it is also true that among the general populace Australians have a higher rates of educational attainment as well of as higher completion rate of tertiary studies than British and Americans. Ours of standards of literacy and numeracy among school children are also higher than both aforementioned countries. Many Australian teachers who have gone to Britain to teach have documented how behind UK schools are in educational standards compared to Australia, and vice versa- many British teachers have come to Australia to teach and have said how much more ahead we are. Education is something for the whole. For the masses. Not something for blue blooded, aristocratic elite. Your views about Australians being uneducated and stupid betray your old world snobby, arrogance and Eurocentric racism; the belief that all non-European cultures have nothing to offer and are inferior. This is one of the main reasons why Europeans left such a rotten, class-conscious society with no social mobility and opportunities, and moved to Australia in search of a better life (some of you, in fact, still do).
On the contrary, Australians (by world standards) are high educated and smart. We have invented many things, and a made a contribution that greatly outweighs the size of the country and the population of its people and influence in the world, such as a vaccine for cervical cancer (In 2006, Brisbane-based medical researchers Professor Ian Frazer and Dr Jian Zhou developed the world's first anti-cancer vaccine. Known by the commercial name, Gardasil, the vaccine protects women against four strains of a virus called human papillomavirus (HPV), known to cause three-quarters of all cervical cancers), the cochlea ear implant (The Bionic Ear), WIFI, Penicillin (1939 Australian scientist Howard Florey in the employ of Oxford University), stem cell research (the technology was sold to the Americans), the artificial heart value (invented by Chinese Australian Victor Chan) and pioneered some of earliest heart transplant operations, drugs to treat HIV (Australia has the Kirby Institute in Sydney which leads the world in HIV/AIDS research, The black box flight recorder, invented by Australian scientist Dr David Warren, Australian doctor Mark Lidwill and physicist Edgar Booth developed the first artificial pacemaker in the 1920s, the ultra scanner, plastic spectacle lenses, inflatable side and raft on airplanes (invented by QANTAS), and many more.
You guys need to try using logic and reason sometime when you try and discuss something, as opposed to using the very basic and primitive, "fight versus flight", tribal, animal instincts we get from our ape ancestors. It will make you come across and as more intelligent and less stupid. And try to not to employ angry, Nazi, white-supremacist rhetoric when calling others (whole countries and continents of people) racists. It makes you look like a hypocrites. Stop buying our property and taking our jobs as well.
Thank you and have a nice day.
