Superthread XLIII - honouring madunit

[Bazal]

Also, I think people confuse jingoism and patriotism in terms of America...never really saw true patriotism over there, only jingoism. On steroids.

I normally find tennis boring, the only interesting match I've watched strangely was last night's Djokovic v Wawrinka match. Was epic and very skilful from both men.

Otherwise... Bring on the f**king NRL.

Still cricket and A-League season

 

[kia ora storm]

A-League has been good this year..very even.

Tennis and Cricket...forget it.

 

[BDR]

I'll be honest I haven't even missed the football that much this off-season. The quality of the other sports I'm a fan of has more than made up for it.

Plus I am still wounded from the way the refs/Manly f**ked us over last year. f**k those guys.

 

[Misanthrope]

I'm envious of their patriotism, their sports and Nascar + Many other things. I just find their culture, history.etc unlike no other. Yes, Their girls rock. I had a American when I was studying at Uni and she was a stunner.

My last three girls have been American. Sucker for them.

Did Washington DC and loads of Virginia/Maryland (we stayed with friends in Reston-avoided ebola), LA (expected nothing less than ugly), New York, Seattle, Pennsylvania, Minneapolis. Admittedly not the widest travel experience and I'm not saying I'd never go back and give it a chance...

I really liked Annapolis in Maryland, and thought New York was fun to visit. Didn't find Seattle as fascinating as I had hoped, but Portland is wonderful. Quite liked northern California and northern Idaho as well.

A-League has been good this year..very even.

Agreed. I just wish somebody other than me at my workplace cared. Would be good to talk about it. The place is all NRL fans.

You guys got dudded...we sorted Manly out though.

My wife is from North Carolina.

You haven't experienced redneck til you have done the Carolinas..................

I'm going to be visiting Los Angeles and Miami in April.

And by visit, I mean stay in the airports as I transfer flights en-route to Jamaica for work.

And by work, I mean one twelve hour shift, then I'm back on the planes back home.

A weeks pay to fly business class, stay in hotels and work for 12 hours. I love my job

 

[BunniesMan]

I love all 3 of those sports.

I follow pretty much every mainstream ball sport. All popular sports have become popular because they are great in their own way.

NRL, AFL, Soccer, NBA, NFL, MLB, Tennis, Cricket. They all good.

Makes two of us, I will admit. I'm slightly jealous of you for that.

I don't want to sound un-patriotic towards my country. But I think as a nation we have better choices of a national anthem available for us to use/had.

Haha, the perks of living abroad. Met two of them working in South Korea and the third... on the internet. She now lives with me in China :lol:

We have a shit anthem, an ugly flag, and our women... they might be among the worst in the world when it comes to their behavior. Wives of FFBers and participants on the FFB excepted, of course.

 

[Bazal]

I liked Annapolis as well....I left out Hawaii BTW....did like that, although Waikiki is a terrible excuse for a beach.

Hawaii isn't really the US. Not really.

 

[Bazal]

No, it does have a totally different vibe...and it's a f**king long way away :lol:

Waikiki is still shit though

:lol: I have relos in the states (Near Baltimore and others in Pennsylvania) and all I hear when they come to Aus every Christmas is about the girls, white christmases, food and bbq houses.etc and it just tempts me more and more to go over there for an extended period of time. I went there when I was young and loved it to death. Went to LA, Vegas and Chicago and it was awesome.

Ouch, But it's a valid point. I've met some women with terrible behavior at times. Yes, I was trying to say it nicely but I don't much care for our anthem, the flag I respect but don't really like it. In comparison to others it's not the best.

 

[BunniesMan]

I like the flag. Aussie soldiers have died with it on their uniform. It doesn't need to be changed for the sake of change like some people want.

But yes the anthem is ordinary. Would love a better one.

My girl is from Annapolis. Previously dated a northern Idaho girl and a Seattle girl. The latter was an utter merkin.

I quite liked Chicago when I was there, and Vegas was a whole lot of fun.

Australian women (mostly) have this insane sense of entitlement. Only in Australia have I been asked - as a lead in question - how much do you make a year. And that's not just once.

They've been raised with this idea that being more like men is okay. So they're f**king anything that moves, they're shallow and proud of their ignorance, and they're generally just children with entirely too much freedom.

Mostly.

I like the flag. Aussie soldiers have died with it on their uniform. It doesn't need to be changed for the sake of change like some people want.

I f**king hate this argument. It's a cop-out. The soldiers dying didn't give two shits or a f**k about the flag on their uniform. They died for family or for ideals or for the country. They didn't die for a rag on a pole outside the RSL.

 

[BDR]

So you dislike Australian women for being too entitled but you like American women? What kind of American women have you met?

 

[BDR]

FTR worst kind of women are Russian. Heartbreakingly, model beautiful and they will not hesitate to emasculate you in the worst way if you don't approach them in a way they like.

2 out of 3 of them were quite well adjusted. Mature, well traveled etc. One was a crazy bitch, but she was one helluva good root.

Russians are a bit rough. French girls are either ridiculously DTF or ridiculously snooty.

Scandinavian girls are the bomb-diggity.
