I was amused by the previous post on the (Winter) Olympic Games, where (to name ONE example), the Americans were advised to be less patriotic ... loved John's comment, "bullshit" I would have thought (of the Americans), show me one thats not patriotic and I'll show you someone who's a Canadian in disguise ... so this brings me to an interesting point - how do people out there see us Kiwi's/Australians, how do the Indians see the Yanks and Poms etc this is purely for amusement of course, anyone with over-inflated ego's need not post a reply - Im not 'knocking' any person(s) or countries for their personal/political views on others .. or, how do you see you're own country ?? If I said Australia was a place of sport fanatics, bronzed lifeguards and great looking blondes, (a popular sterotype), I'd be ignoring the the short, fat, ugly baldies like myself - but you get the picture - what we are seen as vs what we are :) I hope this provokes some laughable posts ...

Mauricio - "Brazilian Gaucho" - does this conjure up an image of the tough, indpendant, hardworking cowboy ?? - funny if so, because, if you look around, America, Australia, Italy, South America, I think South Africa as well, all have values that have descended from these traits (excuse me from any other 'cowboy' country Ive missed) I'm curious, and glad that someone has mentioned his cultural heritage - but mystified about the 'but not a brazilian' comment - could you please tell me why you are not proud to be a brazilian (private email is ok if you dont wish to share with others or are embarassed Mauricio) 'G'

Garth J Lancaster wrote: does this conjure up an image of the tough, indpendant, hardworking cowboy ?? even if we have tradicionalist Gaucho´s, that wear boots and hats, don´t compare them to cowboys... we have a whole history behind our culture. :) And cowboys don´t drink chimarrão ! :) hehehehehe :) Garth J Lancaster wrote: could you please tell me why you are not proud to be a brazilian Maybe "not proud" would not be the right thing to say (not the correct word)... i think "disapointed with my country" would be more or less what I was trying to say. With some much corruption on policts, an more and more miserable people on the streets... it´s quite disapointing. And the worst thing is that the people do nothing about it... they just let it be ! If you look at Argentina crises for example, people go to the streets to protest because they desagree with the current situation of the country. This kind of thing doesn´t happen here.

Americans' ideas on Canada. The movie "Canadian Bacon" (last movie of the great John Candy) put all the stereotypes together and so obviously so (to me at least). The best thing was watching it with an american friend of mine and how she didn't get all the stereotypes.;P It was a good movie that poked fun of both Canadians and Americans.

CG Your comment though made with humor intent, is actually quite true :-) I mean it both ways. Americans think everyone wants to be them. And that's kinda true too. Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut
