   “Let’s gut pusst, moit!”

   Like you don’t say that.
2. Conor 01.09.08 / 1am

   I honestly almost went to Hofbräuhaus tonight, and that place is always crawling with Aussies. A friend here is having lots of buddies from America stop by Munich for a day or two, and that’s a destination we have to hit up, but they missed their train from Rome because they’re losers.

   Tomorrow, I guess.

   When I hate my job I shall say to myself, “You know, you COULD be the Indonesian picking coffee beans out of cat shit every day.”

   Although, I’ve had SOME days at work…….hmmmmm….lemme go check monster.com for Indonesian cat shitter coffee picker positions.
4. emily 01.10.08 / 1am

   are they worse than ‘mercans? i feel slightly relieved.
5. Conor 01.10.08 / 8am

   Oh so much worse. By my standards, anyway. The Germans always find their accents cute and amusing.
6. Luke 01.25.08 / 1am

   Well I see nothing has changed in Germany in the last 70 years. I guess a country that has tried to exterminate a whole race is bound to have rascist tendencies. The arrogant, self imposed ’superior’ manner in which you speak makes me wonder If you learnt anything from the failings of the NAZI regime. So you’ve met some wanker Australians? Well I’ve met plenty of obnoxious tourists, Australia is crawling with them, but in no way do I generalise an entire country by a run in I’ve had with a tiny minority. Grow up.
7. Conor 01.25.08 / 4pm

   @Luke: In case it’s not obvious, I’m American. I just live in Germany. So if you’re going to rip on callous generalization proclivities, please blame the Americans. And I personally invite you to hate every one of us, given that I’m such a jerk.

   The Germans in my opinion are pretty harmless, a very sweet lot, politically quite aware, but still rather insecure, the ghost of the war still haunting their collective consciousness.

   You’ve probably met some real wanker Americans, too—or at least you have now. We’re all like that, but at least I can deal with that global perception. =)
8. Shane 02.27.08 / 7pm

   Conor, you probably couldnt say a more irrational or stupid generalization than you just made then.

   You categorise all aussies for a group of tourists you came across in germany? Well i say to you, I know plenty of ignorant yanks but i know that like anywhere there is a certain percentage of people like that from all nations.

   Im sure that these aussies may well have been the most annoying people in the world but there seems to be a vital part of your thought process missing as you generalized.

   Maybe you should of had a beer with them instead of writing a stupid little blog about them..Thinking to yourself..i know whatl show the aussies..il write a stupid little blog, thatl teach them. Sad little man.
9. Conor 02.27.08 / 11pm

   Dear Shane,

   I would be irritable, too, if I regularly drank feces-coffee and low-grade tourist beer. As I told Luke above, all Americans really are like this. We’re all pricks, every one of us. So don’t be afraid of “generalizing,” as it would be the most proper thing to do, to accept that we’re all jerks and we all hate Aussies. As I’m fond of saying, the only people who don’t hate Aussies are those that haven’t met any yet. =)

   What absolutely fascinates me is the number of hits I get to this website from people searching for “hate aussies” in Google. Do you just down a few pints and feel like picking a fight, but were too lazy to leave your basement? Or maybe you were online at a cafe, and just finished your fourth cup of poop coffee.

   I’ll have to make a post about this phenomenon.
10. will 02.28.08 / 1am

    What I find most interesting is that these fine citizens come here unprovikd and with no background on you and tell you what a bad person you are without reading any other entries and while I can’t say I’m a much better person I at least understand your motives and find irrational dislike nothing out of the ordinary for you but I guess that is too much for them. I bet they even beleve The Onion because everything on the Internet is serious.
11. Dave Norton 03.17.08 / 4am

    Hi,
    You have my sympathy, I am a relatively intelligent Australian.
    I can tell you you would not enjoy visiting, if you think my fellow countrymen are obnoxious when they are abroad look at what they are like at home (news.com.au).
    What scares me most are the similarities between Australia now and Germany in the early 1930’s.
    To make matters worse we control approximately 70% of the world’s fresh water (look at a map of Antartica you will see we have the lion’s share). We also have a terrible record of mismanaging natural resources!
12. Conor 03.17.08 / 1pm

    Well hell, Dave, that was a beautifully well-mannered and rather eloquent comment. Fuck you for giving me cause to reconsider my broad biases.

    I think it’s fair to say that this thread has been Godwin’d, but maybe that’s exactly what we needed. I’ll say really quick that actually I’ve heard talk of the frightening parallels between present-day Australia and the best 6 years in the States. But I suppose we’re really agreeing there, aren’t we?

    Glad to know you got your hands on all that water, Dave. Perhaps we’ll be dropping by to refill our Deer Park bottles any year now. Here’s to that!
13. Will 03.17.08 / 5pm

    I can not believe this. An intelligent Australian that uses a good OS and browser coming here and not talking complete shit on someone for having an opinion! I must chalk this one up to some sort of wizardry because you clearly can not exist because my statistical collections showed that 100% of Australians before you were as we call “Short-bus Special” in their close-minded fuckedness. Unveil your true identity sir!
14. Conor 03.17.08 / 5pm

    That was a fucking stellar comment, Will. Thanks for holding down the fort on that one.

    It is definitely a little strange that this Dave character showed up and ever-so-conveniently Godwin’d this Aussie-bashing discussion. I suspect he is a comment hitman, contracted by the Luke & Shane Coalition of Borderline Literacy to improve our perception of Aussies.

    What pisses me off is that it worked wonders.
15. Will 03.17.08 / 5pm

    Well we got Godwin’d with the first Australian but I suspect you are on to something but it worked wonders indeed. Crafty I must say.
16. Will 03.17.08 / 10pm

    Also, sometimes I fail at eloquence.
17. Paul 04.24.08 / 8am

    Ha, I am a South African who has moved to Australia. I find Australians to be overtly opinionated, obnoxious, and stubborn. But Connor, what I cant understand is your criticism of Australians on the very qualities you Americans display. You attack them for not being globally aware when half the Americans I know couldn’t find Texas on a fucking map. I grew up in Aparteid and while yes it was an unjust and brutal system it was based on the segergation in the United States. You are, as a people loud, overtly obnoxious, stubborn, decadent and rascist. Fix your own fucking problems before you attack someone else.
18. lol 07.17.08 / 5am

    Hi,
    Im srry American for your close minded and shallow veiw of the world,the fact that you criticise the very few aussies that you have met and use them as a genrelisation for the rest of us i could go around saying that i hate all americans because they are fat motherfuckers that start wars with everyone and expect others to fall in and you call us racist the Negro society at large still live in slums and gettos and the white political fatcats don’t give a shit so FUCK YOU
19. Conor 07.17.08 / 9am

    Well said.
20. Jim 07.27.08 / 10am

    Oh man, Conor. If only you had known at the time, how much this blog foreshadowed future events. You know my feelings on Aussies are similar to yours. I really do like that somehow these guys are finding your blog and going out of their way to validate your original statement.
21. Conor 07.27.08 / 3pm

    I’ve checked out how people are finding my site, and there’s a significant portion of traffic that comes from search engine queries like “Why I hate Australians” and stuff like that.

    These poor, sad little half-humans.
22. brad cohen 08.19.08 / 8am

    They are the most insecure nation of moronic chip on their shoulder d*ckheads on gods green earth. Whenever they win in a sport they start slating the opposition, but when they lose they just CANNOT take it back, I had an aussie round the throat up against the wall for causing trouble in the pub when he couldn’t take a bit of friendly pisstaking around the Rugby last year. A very insecure, stupid people, with a penchant for gobbing off about what they don’t understand, starting fights they’re quite unable to finish, mistaking mouth for bravery, founded by people who were too much a bunch of losers to be a success in Britain so had to go to a toilet in the south pacific to do anything with their lives…
23. Conor 08.19.08 / 11am

    Good. Use your aggressive feelings, Brad. Let the hate flow through you!
24. James 08.29.08 / 6am

    I gotta agree with you on that 1 conor, i live in aus n its terribly racist, you get the sense here if you aint pale white you aint pure and that stuffs weird, also i they treat asians and most minorities like slaves in day to day lives and then show them in a couple of commercials and think its alright wtf
25. Aidan 09.18.08 / 11pm

    I agree.
    I’m living in London and my new neighbours are Aussies. As a race, they are the biggest bunch of w*nkers you are likely to meet.

    The main issue I have with them is that they couldn’t care less about others living by. The only job they seem to do is serve drinks behind the bar, - and they are pretty crap at that.

    The fact that they also like to ware bits of bone around their neck and ware flip-flops (on the filthy London streets) underlines they position as top-wa*kers.
26. ZAC 09.19.08 / 8pm

    You bunch of fuckers have you nothing better to do than slag people off. Obviously Cohen you are a dumb cunt yourself to be sitting at your computer day in day out. What do you do for a job you stupid twit. And as for you Aiden, youre obviously pretty fucken gay, for a start they are called pluggers, not flip flops, we are not pussys like you who dont like to get your feet dirty. Youre the sort of person who by the sounds of it, needs to harden the fuck up. If you had any idea of how most aussies are, you would not be calling us a bunch of wankers. Get a life
27. ZAC 09.19.08 / 8pm

    Oh and by the way, we may be a little stubborn and arrogant but at least we are not stuck up poofters who couldnt put a sentence together without “i” this and “i” that. No wonder you have had a run in with the aussies, they hate self absorbed bastards!
28. ilona 09.30.08 / 8pm

    not all Aussies are stupid and drunk.
    i don’t drink, i speak the queens english and i don’t speak with a new zelande accent.
    i’m not going to assume about you because i don’t know you personally, still it’s clear that you have met what we city dwellers like to refer to as the occa yobbo a rare breed of stupid, fosters drinking, gap toothed variety of inbred country stock that tend to save up a bit of cash and travel to other countries where on arrival they act in such away as to put the rest of us Australian folks to shame, these yobbo’s tend not to have any respect for the traditions or laws of any host country which has the miss fortune of being visited by them, i would like to say that they are even worse in their behaviour when they visit Bali.
    i go to Bali for the sun and to relax but it’s really hard to do when every Aussie i see there is drunk, half naked, swearing, stoned, high on speed and traveling in large unruly packs.
    also i don’t drink “cat sh*t coffee”and i never will.
    plus Australia may have started out as a convict settlement but we haven’t been one for for some 150 years .
    despite what you might have seen please don’t judge all of us by the poor behaviour of a few bad eggs.
29. Aidan 10.08.08 / 7pm

    Hmmmm….
    I’m gay because I’m walking around London in a pair of shoes rather than flip-flops. We’re “Pussys”. We’re “Poofters”…. It’s the kind of reply I’d expect from a ten year old.

    “…If you had any idea of how most aussies are, you would not be calling us a bunch of wankers..”…ZAC, - you haven’t helped your cause, have you? Your childish, school-yard comments have only served to highlight what a crass & backward people you lot really are.

    Also, - what’s that in the top-left corner of your flag. That’s right, - it’s mummy’s flag. If you Aussies are so TOUGH and HARD, why don’t you get up off your lazy arses, have a revolution and give yourselves a more positive, autonomous identity. Until then, you’ve no right telling me what flip-flops should be called. Until then, you’re still a bunch of loud, inconsiderate, provincial gobshites…
30. Conor 10.10.08 / 5am

    OK, Ilona and Aidan just threw down hardcore. Well said, friends. Truth.
31. Will 10.10.08 / 2pm

    I never thought I’d see the day people actually responded to this in a non overbearing judgemental insanely ridiculous way and convey well thought out and open minded points. THIS POST HAS GROWN UP.
32. Imposcillator 10.10.08 / 3pm

    I never expected I’d actually say or type this ever, but MAN there’s an intelligent English person for you.

    Additionally, I heart Conor’s and Will’s posts hard.

    This post rocks my socks in a thorough, amusing way.

    Well done.
33. Mat 10.16.08 / 10am

    Just a short note - it is unfortunate that you have had to deal with the more unpleasant Australians, and unfortunately, yes it is the yobbo type that travel to Europe on Contiki Tours, or work in bars that make us look bad but please don’t tar the rest of us with that brush. I’ve visited Europe, I know very little languages but before entering a country I’d make sure I had the basics down pat, simple greetings, ‘do you speak English?’, farewells and other common courtesies.

    And to Aidan, you are summarising an experience I had in England. I’m proud that we are part of the Commonwealth, that we live under the Queen and we have the Union Jack on our flag. You’ll find that most Australians are given that we rejected a republic in 1999. Calling us crass, backwards and inconsiderate is ironic considering in your finishing sentence you make a sweeping generalisation that we are ‘gobshites’.

    PS, who cares what flip-flops are in each country, even nation to their own. How boring if we all had the same accent, same words and same everything.

    And to future Australians finding this thread (the same way I did, via Google), please don’t scream and abuse your fellow Interneters. It just makes us look bad.

    And we’re not that bad.

    Honest.

    
34. Mat 10.16.08 / 10am

    Just a follow up note to ZAC, I’ve never heard anyone call them ‘pluggers’ either. Around here (Canberra), we call them thongs. But hey, each to their own.
35. Conor 10.24.08 / 3pm

    If this post as accomplished anything by way of intercultural exchange, it’s made me like Brits! =) Although I suppose I should have loved them all along, given that they gave the Aussies the boot.
36. Sienna 10.30.08 / 11am

    Hi,

    I am a 23 year old European girl living in Sydney for study abroad. I have been so sad here, the Australian girls are very mean and don’t like to make friends with new girls. I have been abused by so many australian boys (sexual insinuations when you walk by) there is bad troble here with middle eastern also. but to general speak they men here have no resepct for women and the girls here are very unfeminine. I have been called a slut for just walkking down the street. I hte this country adn regret the day i have ever came here. My second language is english, so pls excuse the spelling. Also very uneducated, poppy syndrome here.
37. Sienna 10.30.08 / 11am

    also i am not beleiveing the ways in which the country adores and worships criminals. I have seen films that glorify these “thugs” who in my country are considered dirt. Chopper REad, Wolf Creek, BRA boys, Underbelly, it is so crass, ugly and just awful here. All boys do is drink and everyone takes drugs to go out to an event. there no is social events throughout the week just on the saturday night and girls are vomiiting in the street, overdosing. i hate this awfull country.
38. ilona 10.31.08 / 10pm

    it’s sad to hear that so many people have had bad experience with Australian’s worse yet they have come to my country and have been treated like sh*t.
    thats just so not on, in my book it is not on.
    sienna i would like to agree with you that the middle eastern guys are just rude and disgusting in their treatment of women, i to have coped it from them.
    i make a point of not watching Australian drama’s on tv or seeing Australia made films because they make me cringe.
    nobody has the right to make you feel unwelcome in my country, i would like to say sorry.
    this country is a beautiful land but some of the people in it are just mean.
    that’s why i don’t go out at night alone, because it’s not safe for women here after dark.
    but every country has this problem.
    i wish they hadn’t let so many middle eastern muslims migrate here, they travel in packs, coursing sorts of crimes.
    binge drinking is also a huge problem here, women need to realise that they can’t drink as much as men without getting ill.
    i’m a young woman in my 20’s i was born here in Australia but i still am ashamed of the way some of my generation acts.
    what ever happened to self respect, kindness to our fellow person, where is the welcoming nature we Aussies are supposed to be famous for……
    did it get flushed down the toilet like so much crap.
    it’s just really very sad, the way some Australian’s act.
39. Joe 11.02.08 / 3pm

    I’m actually surprised you like Psycroptic then because they are Australian. I came across your post on Metalsucks saying that they ran their merch booth at Summer Slaughter and were awesome guys. If you like the Psycroptic blokes surely there are other Aussies that you would like. We are not all Bogans.
40. Conor 11.02.08 / 4pm

    @ilona: Your comment started off pretty nice, then devolved and got racist as hell. A for effort, but I think you’ve only made Australians look worse!
41. Conor 11.02.08 / 4pm

    @Joe: I rationalize that by telling myself Psycroptic are Tasmanian and not Australian. =D

    Honestly what I meant by this post is that I hate anyone who travels and doesn’t play by the “When in Rome” ethos. Incidentally the post then, via the magic of search engines, acted like flypaper for people with similar sentiments, and it snowballed into the conversation you see before you.

    I plan to keep the comments open for a long while, to see both how incendiary and how well-reasoned the comments can be. I think we’ve had gems in both departments (and from both sides!) so far.
42. ilona 11.02.08 / 10pm

    well conor i suppose, you’re right now that i reread my comment it does sound that way, i never meant to be racist, as i loath that about the Aussie culture such as it is.
    it’s just that i’ve always been treated as rubbish by middle eastern men with them shouting nasty crude things at me and my cousin who is living with a man that is from that race who beats her i guess i was speaking from a place of limited point of view.
    intellectually i know it’s not right to place all of the people of one race it to the same box, but sometimes human emotions can get the better of all of us.
    the last thing i wanted to do was be a nasty racist, so well put conor.
43. ilona 11.02.08 / 10pm

    i will endeavor to be more tolerant in the future.
    as i hope others will be as well.
44. Conor 11.03.08 / 12am

    @ilona:
    

    i will endeavor to be more tolerant in the future.

    Now there’s a sentiment I can agree with! I vow the same, I really do. Thanks for your thoughtful replies, all of them.
45. None ya 11.15.08 / 1am

    Aussies are fucking scum bag cunts! they are right up there with the fucking french and muslim rag heads!

    Watch this

46. El Pablo 11.15.08 / 6pm

    Ha, mate to be the object of such intense hatred when I have honestly never done anything in my life to be hated or loved. I am flattered. Being a dedicated beach bum who has travelled throughout the Pacific and South-East Asia I agree with you on your, “when in rome” stance. Hell local beer, language and food poisoning is just half the fun of travel. I have been remiss to travel to Europe, as going to England and hanging out with Aussies seems to be something a lot of people here do, and hey I dont go overseas to see more Aussie. I may aswell have stayed home. But man, I dont judge you due to the American and English old men who travel to South East Asia to screw underage boys and girls. Hell, I fucking well hate the Aussies that do that. I dont lump you in the same basket as the American Sailors who come here, drink, fight and chase anything with a pulse. I dont put you in the same basket as the cross burning, sheet wearing survivalists who send me hate mail from time to time. The thing is Conor, whilst you have got some good points to make, dont lump us all in the same basket. You sound as stupid as the Aussies who come on here and say fuck America cause of what you have said. That being said no hard feelings bro, open your mind and judge people as they come, not cause you met some dickheads that talk with the same accent.
47. El Pablo 11.15.08 / 6pm

    P.S. illona, I grew up in rural areas and there seem to be more thong wearing drunkards overseas from Sydney and Melbourne then Gunnedah, Ballina or Longreach. Fuck you for being so incorrectly judgemental. Your Gap-Toothed inbred aussie beach bum.
48. El Pablo 11.16.08 / 9am

    P.P.S. I go to places like Bali or Fiji for the surf, diving and sightseeing. I agree that there are to many Aussies in Bali looking to get stoned, sunburnt and syphyllis. And once again they seem to come from the major poulation centres. In a way Conor we are just doing what the british did, sending our undesirables overseas.
