What is the Difference between Australians/Kiwis actually?

[Jah Lush]

I think you're very lucky he stormed off and didn't punch your lights out.

[MadWorld74]

you should have told him that his national anthem was a pile of boring shit.

Could have been funny (for all of us watching!)

I see what you're getting at now, jrussel.

If I may present my own parallel experience:

The other day I had a disagreement with an orange, who I accused of behaving exactly like Celine Dion. I understand that there are differences between oranges and Celine Dion (geographical origin, accents, cruel thin nose etc) but in the context of our disagreement - first and foremost - and without (herewith) no further ado, I, er..

And other nonsensical made-up stuff.

New Zealand has an unofficial national anthem: "Bliss" by Th' Dudes.

It is an anti-Australian song.

Some background on the band is here.

You need to try a bit harder with your analogy. To start with, you need to explain the context of your disagreement. Otherwise I cannot comment and you are really just wasting everyone's time.

[Huguenot]

What's the context of your disagreement Dogster?

I'm assuming it's one of the following:

(a) Can't tell the difference in accent

(b) Think everyone who is doing 'something' (unspecified) is Ozzie

© Think that everyone in the world is a figment of your imagination and you can label them as you wish without redress

If (a) then there's no need to tell people they have no identity, just tell them you can't differentiate their accent.

If (b) then as per your request to Bob, please tell us what that 'something' is, and we'll try and help.

If © then see a psychologist as you have no friends to help you.

I suspect the underlying problem is ©, but it's exacerbated by (a), and that you're pretending it's (b) because that means you can blame everyone else.

Could have just told him he's Australasian.That would have cheered him up...

I shall expand.

I don't like oranges (excluding Satsumas & Clementines), as I find them difficult to peel and they make my fingers all sticky.

I don't like Celine Dion, as she is difficult to peel and makes my fingers all sticky.

So, whilst I am happy to recognise that there are differences between Celine Dion and oranges, in the context of how they both make me feel - ie angry - there are no differences between Celine Dion and oranges (excluding Satsumas & Clementines)

I hope this is now clear enough for you.

[Ted Max]

Now you're just taking the pith.

[jrussel]

Yes, it would seem to be true, on the basis of the information given, to say that in the context of how they make you feel, there is no difference between the orange and Celine Dion.

So? What is your point?

I believe it has something to do with pan troglodytes.
