Heil Daisy!
Jihad - its not based on ignorance. Australians have had American comedy shows shoved down their throats for decades. the only Oz comedy American Audiences have been exposed to is crocodile dundee ... which was made for an American Audience and doesn't really reflect Oz comedy.

you forget Jihad - that with US global hegemony - EVERYBODY gets a taste of your culture ... you just miss out on everybody else's.

Our cultures ARE different - and since you are familiar with my posts (or ought to be by now) you should be well aware that I don't have a problem with cultural difference.

Americans DO appear to live on another planet to the one we live on. Our culture IS different from yours. our way of looking at the world is different. surely with all these Aussies on the board you've realised that by now!
