America lags behind in international sports? I agree, we’ve never won so much as a bronze in the Olympics :rolleyes: Or don’t those count?
Oh no, I’ve hurt royjwood’s feelings…
Ah…respect. The same respect you showed in the GQ thread you mean. Well, fucko, I don’t give a rats ass for your definition of courtesy or respect. I for one find profanity and abuse a lot less offensive than the mindless shite you spouted off (I can’t be fucked quoting it again) or the ignorance you displayed, so how about this for a deal - you keep being a dickhead, I keep calling you one. Seem fair to you?
I dunno. I think the problem here might be that a message board doesn’t do justice to nature of the Pom – Prison Dodger relationship-dialogue. In my experience, the whole thing depends on understanding that just about everything is said a little tongue-in-cheek.
Maybe royjwood doesn’t think Gary was really pulling him up for it cos the Dodgers are all insensitive bastards anyway.

I think you’re right, with two caveats; (1) at the point where it was pretty bloody obvious that tempers were rising, he was asked (twice, I think) whether he was joking, and (2) apparently he’s from Texas. I think the Pom-Aussie thing works much better when the two protagonists are… well… Poms & Aussies.
Oh okay, I didn’t know about the Texas thing. Maybe he just doesn’t quite ‘get it’.
As bad as the Yankees?
Fuck.
I really hate the stereotyping based on nationality.
Bullshit. Fucking Bullshit.
Please don’t let this kid’s ignorant comments lead you to believe all Texans make such generalizations or spew in general before thinking. Fuck.
