[Dennis Leahy]

The good ol USA is so full of intelligent people that it really irritates me to hear us called seppos, as if we are all full of shit(e). I have proof!

You gotta be freakin' kidding.

And our Government has a test to see if new immigrants are bright enough to be allowed to stay and become citizens.....leaves one wondering about a lot of things doesn't it?

Well, anyone who's ever learnt about statistics knows that 49.9% of people are of below average intelligence, that's just they way stats work. There are stupid people everywhere. Unfortunately a lot of them manage to get themselves elected.

Oh, and Dennis; the whole seppo thing comes from rhyming slang (I think bought over here to Oz by London cockneys). eg, septic tank rhymes with yank. That gets shortened to seppos.

My favourite; trouble and strife, rhymes with wife. That one doesn't get shortened, it works perfectly as is.

That's BS and not at all accurate! What would be more representative would go something like this:

Reporter to an American: Can you name a country that begins with a "U?"

American: Says nothing but pulls out a Glock "9" holds it sideways and shoots the reporter three times in the face at point blank range.

Reminds me of a Seppo student I met in Japan back in '89. He proudly mentioned that he was studying international studies at university and then asked me where I hailed from. Upon replying "New Zealand" his response was "Nooooooo Zeeeeeeeeeland, oh thats up by The Phillipines isnt it???

That said, I know more than one Kiwi who has never travelled past their home town limits and wouldnt be able to tell me where the US is.

Mind you, there are plenty of people in Australia who probably couldn't do any better. You just have to visit the right (or should that be wrong) suburbs in any city around the country to find them. You know, those people who are surprised when you tell them that they shouldn't put Coke in their baby's bottle. Sad, but true.

I know what you mean Joel, sure beer is more expensive than Coke but it has far less sugar and you don't want bubs start'in out with bad habits that'll rot their little teeth.

Ahhh beer, is there noth'in it can't do.
