ummmm ..... what?! nice way to piss off an australia - claim we aren't standing up and making demands. we are the only country who has declared unconditional support for you and you have the nerve to speak this sentence?

(then later)...
Carrie, if your going to throw out false, insulting, sweeping statements like you did, expect it to be picked apart and thrown back at you ... you didn't exactly clarify any facts when you said it, it was just a rant based on anger at my posts.

First I'm pointing my finger directly at Australia and then I'm making a sweeping statement.
Decide what it is you're accusing me of doing; switching bases like this makes for an inconsistent argument!

I'm not "reacting" out of anger from your posts - your posts haven't made me angry whatsoever.
They have opened up my eyes though as to how *one* mis-perceived post mentioning Australia made you react... yet you claim that we Americans are "whining" for getting attacked like that every day of the year, multiple times per day.
Just think if this entire thread were about Australians, and not Americans - would your defensive posturing also be seen as "whining"?
