Hate to break it to you, but Australia is most definitely considered "the West" culturally.

noble100" He lives in Australia, he's constantly wrong, his wife's a kangaroo and he doesn't use a class D amp"

This is vile, hateful, prejudiced language, the wholesale, unconsidered denigration of those who live in another part of the world and you're conviction that you're "Western World" has achieved some sort of unusual excellence and superiority. 

Come' on roberttcan, lighten up!
      I was just messin with George in a well considered and, I thought, in an obviously good natured and satirical manner.  I think there's a strong kinship between Americans and our Australian brothers and sisters.
      Of course I know Australia is considered by most people, including myself, as a western style country culturally, economically and politically.  I actually love, respect and enjoy Australia and the many Australians I consider friends.
     Sure, the men are probably overly affectionate toward their sheep and other farm animals and the women are obsessed and very promiscuous with Americans. However, when it comes to messing and joking around, I can assure you they can take it as well as they give it.  Can you?

Hey noble100, 

I knew you were just joking, seems  ---clearthink--- did not.  I was just copying his rant and pointing out to him that Australia is the west :-)

glupson to clearthink: "There is a possibility that noble100 also lives in Australia."


Hello glupson and clearthink,
      Lighten up clearthink and be cool like glupson. 
      I actually live in Indiana but love Australia and, for the most part, Australians. I consider Australia and the U.S. as countries with a kindred spirit and am very aware that Australia is considered a Western country culturally, economically and politically as well as a close ally to us militarily. 
     I was just messing with George and can assure you both that Australians can take a bit of messing with them as well as dishing out a good dose of some good-natured messing in return.


G-Day mates,
Tim

Trolls are like cats. Lay out a blank square in the middle of nowhere and one has to come and sit on it.  Put out some pretty things on the counter and they have to knock them off.

If you worry, at all, about what trolls think or project onto you, you become their slave and incapable of acting from authentic spontaneity. Nothing clutters your mind more than when you start to worry you'll have trolls complaining about you. It's like looking into the mind of madness.

Just letting people know how I pick my directions.


Best,

Erik
