Whats funnier as I pointed out on another thread is Aus/NZ forums always come under this sort of attack by Americans.....but Euro/Russian/Asian/South American subforums (on various US hunting sites) almost never do.
Its been the same for 20 years of the internet. Its almost a law of the internet that we alone get all the vitriol from Americans.
Bizarre, considering despite our less than perfect gun freedoms, we still rank a lot better than most those other regions....
Can someone explain this phenomenon? Do Americans naturally dislike Australians more than say Asians, italians, russians, brits, south americans etc?
I think because UK and Europe went toward socialism in the 60's most of us were not paying attention because we were too young ( I was anyway). Oz/NZ turned toward socialism in in the early 2000s (NZ in the last 2 years). We Yanks are older now and are paying attention and are saying something about it. Not to worry - we will follow. Faster with the "D"s in charge, slower with the "R"s, but still going in that direction.
Yanks don't dislike Aussie/Kiwis. I feel a brotherly bond with you (more so than with the Brits). I think that we give you grief because what ever direction you go, we will get pushed to go in the same direction. After we all watched the compactor roll over your guns, the socialists in our country have said that we need to be more like Australia. That image is still in our minds.
