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
