People here seem to think Australia ia some really dangerous place with dangerous animals-its like wtf with some of the stuff they say they don't get what its like over there.  Then my accent is copied all the time and some people claim to find my voice weird and not understandable but they're just doing it to be mean cos they're bastards and bitches.

Replies GoloSLB Posted at 10:18 pm on May 10, 2007 Yeah.  My first day of school in America some kid asked me if I owned slaves.  And then some other kid asked me if I was "a fag" a few days later.  And there are these girls at me school that call me "sexy accent boy" What else...oh yeah...people refer to me as "Cristiano" most of the time.  My theory of knowledge teacher calls me Plato.  My parents call me "yankee" because they think I've assimilated to American culture.  I can not understand American accents at all!!! they are so weird!!! "Thats frikin dank dude!" Everyone talks about American football and I don't know what the fuck is going on.  American history...WTF??? People ask me why I don't wear a towel around my head.  People ask me if I'm a terrorist.  People ask me if my country is the capital of Spain (seriously...come on!) People ask me if Europeans still wear whigs and leggings and listen to classical music all the time (again...wtf!!!) People ask me if I have ever killed a bull (I seriously thought they were joking at this point.) And my all time favorite...Is Europe East or West of the US. Okay I'm done ranting. kj23silverglitch Posted at 3:08 pm on May 10, 2007 People should research their cruelty first before they engage into it because it makes them look stupid, not you. Just don't worry about it. They'll fall and look stupid in the end. But you're very lucky I've always wanted to go to Ireland and Australia. But then again I want to go everywhere so.. yeah. =] [= tiara Posted at 2:59 pm on May 10, 2007 Well the drinking part is preety right lol but I'm a teenager and well I think that says it all.  Hmmmmmm maybe you should visit the countries to get a good Idea of what its really like.  The only people that understand me is my sistas and bro, cos noone else havin the same experiences as me.  It cookiemonster16 Posted at 2:54 pm on May 10, 2007 some people have closed minds about foreign people; while others just are wrongfully informed. i'm from America. when i think of Austraila i think of sunny open grass lands with kangaroos hopping around. and an aussie accent. when i think of ireland i think of their accent, and everyone wearing green and drinking. it's probably completely wrong, but it's the idea people get. and some people that don't know, just dont ask questions. they just assume. tiara Posted at 2:52 pm on May 10, 2007 Yeah but there are some people who are just bitchy but I don't liek them and they don't like me so meh gothiclg Posted at 2:49 pm on May 10, 2007 thats crazy! your still the same person and australian accents arent that hard to understand.
