Needed a place to talk about the olympics. GO USA!!

[bondiguy]

It's people like you who take stuff to seriously, that give Americans a bad name...
I'm sorry if I sound rude, because I'm not trying to be, I like you Bondi, I like Aussies...

I also like to joke around, and I wish people would think about that before just assuming I'm another American who thinks I'm better than everybody else...

Because if you talk to me for five minutes... You'll get that I'm not, and if you see me when I travel around the world, then you'll see why some people go "aww Americans aren't that bad"...

So really, just consider somone might be joking before you jump them... Even if they aren't....

Basically read below what Di has said and it is true.

Fuck dude if you wade through my almost 4000 posts you'll notice 90% of them are stupid jokes or insults but I always make clear I am joking with an emoticon, or a "lol" etc.

You must understand I live in a place heavily poppulated with overseas tourists all year round, many from America... and alot of them have the attitude that due to size of land and poppulation they are superior humans, and being an Aussie we don't take that shit. We are very laid back people who think no person is better than another. So you must understand my reaction to your statement.

I am a pretty witty and sarcastic person and I had no idea you were kidding, you have to remember that given the times it woud be hard to know if you are joking or not, add in the fact that you can not detect tone on the internet, had you said it out loud I am sure it would have been obvious you were joking but on the net how is anyone to know it was a joke???   I mean I didnt see anything giving clues to let us know you were joking and when I saw it I too was like oh great this is why so many thing all americans suck these type of attitudes.

Just sayin

I appreciate you explanation, and will try and make sure that my comments are understood to be funny, when I want them to...

Bondi is barely fucking illterate, like the rest of the Australian population

Ok?

And we should all try to remember that just cause some people are asshole, doesn't mean everyone in their country is, like the Australian women who purposely closed the door when I asked her to hold the elevator....

Bondi would never do that... I mean, hed atleast flip me off before he closed the elevator...

The above is an example of literacy?
We all nead to proofread or posts or not criticize each other for occasional (or even frequent ) SNAFUs in grammar and spelling. Be cool, Jester! or Bondi will label you as a psycho.

"We all need to proofread or posts"? There's a name for that kind of fuck-up, but I can't think of it off the top of my head. Probably begins with the word, ironic.

It's called pulling a Gnappster
