Just wanted to let you guys know that I've been finding this discussion interesting. Not quite sure what it has to do with anything but interesting none-the-less!

Not that this will add anything to the conversation, but I worked side by side with the Australian military while deployed during the Iraq War and I can honestly say they were a great bunch of guys.

Why are you so upset with Australians right now, justintime? Did you get your ass handed to you somewhere in a debate?

lol, are you some sort of alter ego for Winston who says the things he wants to but can't...

Hard for me to have a unique detectable persona when I've only lived here a few years, coming from a much more politically 'central' country. The most parochial people I've found tend to be in the US, from hillbillies to teapartiers. By the way, Australians travel overseas much more than Americans per capita, many Americans don't have a passport, etc etc, which explains how the crazy irrational and emotional politics of the Republicans is listened to when they would be laughed out of town in any other comparable country.

Even in Europe as a single connected landmass I've made a point to ask people in various countries I've visited if they've been out of their own country and a surprising number never have. Some people in London don't even know where the next suburb is after living in one spot all their lives.

How can you have 'nostalgia' for an event that occurred 230 years ago? You can only have nostalgia for something that occurred within your living memory.

Most American settlers/colonists actually weren't particularly interested in seceding from Britain at the time, and thought of themselves as British. People like George Washington and others had to whip some into a frenzy. The only question is whether they were doing it out of greed and opportunism seeing a rich continent in front of them.

Australia is a 'new' country without much history or interesting old world architecture, so people like to travel.
