Here's a forum for being polite. Let's see if we can pull this off.
I'll start:

Geezus! I was just having fun! also, just because we were acting and talking the way we were doesnt mean we were being mean or anything! If you took offense, I'm sorry, but lossen up. people make fun of americans all the time, and we don't care. in fact, I'd be HAPPY if people viewed my country as polite and respectful.

Well first of all - "That dreaded Femme and her spoiled "ChiefBell". I'm very sorry, but I scoff on them my good sirs!"
And I wondered - what have I done?
And then I realised you were just taking the piss out of my culture in a completely unsophisticated way. Which, sure, you CAN do and I'm not going to stop you, but you must understand how irritating it is.
Like, we still talk like this.

THAT was scorp, not me.
also, as I said, no, when people insult america and make fun of it, I'm not irritated, I play along.

That irritated me a lot. Typing 'i bite my tongue' instead of 'I bite my thumb'. Though that phrase went out of fashion well before the 1800s.

That's actually a Shakespeareian swear. You bite your thumb nail and flick your thumb in the person's direction (I think). I'm pretty sure it was the equivalent of the middle finger.

I don't know why I wrote tongue. Should have been thumb.

I actually didn't realize legitimate offense would be taken though i suppose i get it. I'm not so keen on the constant "lazy fat murican" thing the internet has labled us as either

I'm pretty fit, so I just deal with it. :P

I mean I'm not fit or fat but calling my lazy is fighting words. I work my ass off :)

I must say, I, too, am not a fan of the stereotype surrounding Australians. However, it is truly an accurate representation of our nation as a whole rather than individuals, and so I have no reason to get offended.
As Stephen Fry once said:

Quite. Quite. I cannot blame one such as yourself for failing to resist my charismatic charm.

I don't even know any stereotypes surrounding Australians...
um ...
Guy on a surfboard going "cowabunga!" or something? That's just how little I know about Australia.

"mate" "kangaroo" "buttsex" "castaways of europe" etc.
April 25, 2015 9:49 p.m.
"Kangaroos Buttmating got cast away from Europe."
My overall Takeaway from this...

actually, it should be "Buttmating Kangaroos got cast away from Europe."
JexInfinite you should really see this...

Stephen Fry is, in reality, one of the stupidest men alive on the planet.

I'm going to lighten the mood and go back to being polite. Derp (phone won't let me tag you), I didn't use those pick up lines at prom. But I did manage to go full out on the politeness/manners in honor of this thread. Especially when I saw the girl I was originally going with, who told me she wasn't going anymore, there. And I didn't say anything about it. \m/

It was splendid. Nothing says prom like going to Wendy's at 2 AM to get some Frostys with the girl.

Also NoPantsParade, I would assume you are in your last year of Highschool?

We pretended we were fancy British people from the 1800s. What's wrong with that?
