Funny, I always thought us Aussies were way out-numbered by the Americans here

Lol its the complete opposite of that.

Maybe instead of simply assuming you could gather circumstantial evidence and formulate a general location for the most Astral Travellers.  I actually thought there were a lot from the UK as well.  Maybe the numbers are just about 25% each? (leaving room for everyone else, of course)

Pfft... stereotyping...

First of all, I don't even have a clue as to what a Yank is, but I know that Americans are labeled by such a thing.  Second, I don't do said action, and so a change of wording is in order.

I've noticed something from my time here, and that's what one country thinks of another country.  I know in the U.S. we aren't caught too many things about other countries unless we're taking a forieign language from that country.  I don't know your curriculum, but if you can evaluate that all of America is too busy looking at that, it's an amazing feat!

This is the only site I spend time on online.  I ain't your average Yank.

And now, back to our scheduled program already in progress...the topic at hand.

Yes sterotype. The only people that look at porn sites are teens. Grant it that other ages do, but teens look at it the most. And besides that, they do not look at it all day, we have other thigns to do.

Stereo-typing and everything aside, i'm not sure that most people on here are from Australia. I also assumed most people were from other countries, especially USA.
Anyway there's nothing unusual about Australia in that regard. Not as far as my ignorant self can see anyway. [:D]

Alice had got so much into the way of expecting nothing but out-of-the-way things to happen, that it seemed quite dull and stupid for life to go on in the common way.

So that was you wandering around in my computer...

Maybe Adrian could set up a poll or see if he could pull the info from everyones profile and post an overall how many from what contry?

Oh, and if you want ot go by my geographical location then I would be a redneck not a yank.  Yanks are fom the North Eastern sea board.  Of course I'm not even a real redneck since I live in a city and all.  Although I do tend to run around bare foot, and with out a shirt most of the time.  I don't have a horse but if I still had my car it would most likely be up on blocks by now.


I might be a redneck....

Yanks, rednex, whatever... you all originally from Great Britan. And us Aussies are not even Aussies either, we come from there too... We just steal the land from the natives and call it our home, so we are the same bastard race that complain about life and how good we are.

But I still think you Americans look at more porno than us Aussies.

Im glad none of you are taking this too seriously, because really... its just porno even though it is more than likely the result and the cause of our bastardness- well these days anyway.

Im sure there is a relationship between the amount of porno looked at and the geographic location by percentage of a certain country.

Oh, and to work out the relationship between the amount of porno looked at and the type of population there is, just watch Jerry Springer.

Stereotype? That word is just a stereotype!

Can I venture a suggestion:

The astral Pulse was founded by Robert Bruce who is an Australian; therefor this forum is originally an australian forum, or rather, an international forum FOUNDED in Australia, so its no real suprise to see a few australians on it..... I can't believe so many people dont actually realise this! This must mean that there are many new members of this forum who have never even heard of Robert Bruce (who?) or know of 'Astral Dynamics'??!!

Anyway, from what I have seen, Australians no longer make up the majority of this forum.. over the last two years or so that I have been here, the amount of Americans joining has shot through the roof and I would say that americans now by far outnumber anyone else here...
This might lead some new members to believe that the Astral Pulse was originally started in the US, but that isnt the case.

btw, before anyone starts flaking me, I have no problem with an influx of Americans here, I guess its a natural occurance given the size of the country compared to others.

The more people from other countries mix together here the better, it helps destroy cultural stereotypes (example: some americans were suprised to hear that I'm Scottish and I don't wear a kilt and chew on haggis or say 'och eye the noo man'; nor does anyone else I know in Scotland for that matter, outside of tourist shops!!!) and allows us to think in a less insular fashion, which is one of the best things about the net imo!

Really because I was under the impression that the Aussies were originally prisoners that were shipped over to Australlia to help the over population of the prisons.  So did the British clear off the natives or did they just leave the prisoners to do it themsleves?  I forget.

Gandalf

What happend was that after prisoners finished their sentance they were given some land; from a logical point of view that the British government had at the time, it made sense to integrate the prisoners into the colonisation process.
While I agree that the Aboriginies suffered a great deal under the British takeover (and still do), at least the British government still managed to keep the colonisation process under control to a certain extent, so that mass ethnic cleansing did not occur, or at least not to the same scale, as happened in America, after it broke away.

This was one of the negative aspects of the success of the American war of independance. Without a restraining colonial influence, the now-independant European settlers in America swept across the continent with no restraints or supervision whatsoever, which was bad news for the Native Americans. The result was that the native populations of EX-colonial America suffered much more than anyone else in other remaining colonial countries.

btw this is acccording to modern US historical analysis, not a European or British analysis.

How come like 90% of people here are from Australia? Is that Country flooded with OBE/APers? Im not trying to offend anyone, I am just curious. [^]
