To any Americans who would take offence to anything that has been said, may it be known that this is not a "blast America" thread (at least I don't think so).
Just the cultural differences are rather interesting.
Australia is some kind of weird mish-mash of culture, although the thing which most people claim to be proud of is multiculturalism.
Time does go on, and with it comes the future, and infinitely uncertain thing.
