America is such an amazing place to travel. So many
beautiful National Parks, spectacular cities and wonderful
countryside - it's just a shame it's largely filled with
complete fuck-wits.

Oh, does blasting an entire country of people make you
superior? I gather your rather dour attitude didn't win you
any friends among the 50 states...
I hope this means you won't be coming back to the US to
bother us with such negative drivel.
You're right. The US does get an enourmous number of
arogant and ignorant travellers such as yourself who are
far too stupid to realize that the US is like everywhere
other country in the world: most of the people are
wonderful, helpful, and kind, but people like you are so
self-involved and prone to stereotypes that that you let
the exception become the rule.
I was outraged and ashamed after hearing about some of Mr.
Backyard Traveller's latest modes of thought. Let me
preface my discussion by quickly reasserting a familiar
theme of my previous letters: You do not need to be
foolhardy to know that in this crucial hour and under the
treachery of our time, I must announce that there is an
implicit assumption here that these issues are actually
political issues. I wish dangerous shabby-to-the-core
junkies had the gumption not to put our liberties at risk
by a bleeding-heart and uncouth rush to force us to adopt
rigid social roles that compromise our inner code of
ethics, and hence, by extension, his assistants lie about
their antics, and then, when we're all convinced that no
harm will be done, they understate the negative impact of
pharisaism. Haughty besotted unilateralism is one of the
most effective tools of tyranny. It is grossly misleading
merely to claim that a day without Backyard Traveller would
be like a day without vicious sensationalism. His epigrams
constitute one of the many conduits of absolutism in our
culture. Mr. Backyard Traveller uses nihilism as a hammer
to forge the depraved opportunists who will replace our
natural soul with an artificial one eventually. May we
never forget this if we are to deny Backyard Traveller and
his backers a chance to dismantle the family unit.
Hey W.T.
Having done a few yrs. of traveling myself. I must admit , yes there are some fuck-wits in every country. It just so happens that in the States, some read your book '' I am a Fuck-Wit and Proud of it'', and ''sigh'' , a small minority took it to heart. I look forward to your next publication '' A Fuck-Wits guide to World Tavel'', maybe then we will see some proof that you have really been outside your room.
I think you have proved my point by your gross, overstated
defensiveness. Obviously it's well practised!!
Oh, so smooth, WT. Accuse people of being "fuckwits", and
then accuse them of being gross and defensive when the
respond. The only possible conclusion is that you're so
accustomed to being called fuckwit, you don't even realize
that it's a term used only for the hopelessly brain-dead.
But of course, you wouldn't realize that, would you.
WT - Instead of all this name-calling, how about supplying 3 concrete examples of the behavior you saw / experienced that warrants (mis-) labeling an entire nation? You bet we're defensive, and proud of it.
I am not American, but i am offended that anyone should brand and entire noation "fuck-wits". I think the original posters comments say more about him or her than anything else.
America, Land of the free. Home of the Fucked up.
Just look at some of your long winded, self centred
drivell. I feel so sorry for you all.
By the way check out "America - Jewel of the Western Crown"
on the Australian site for even more American cods wallap!!
Lighten up a little and stop taking yourselves so
seriously. You'll see we're only taking the piss... not.
To the Offended Local - 3 examples which speak for
themselves, ("only in America")
1. The Greek System
2. McDonalds
3. Don King
NOW here's 3 easy ones for you... mate.
1. Capital of Eire?
2. Highest mountain in Africa?
3. Dannish currency?
Cheers.
You're a sad, nasty and miserable piece of work. And you're
boring us all with your ignorance and bigotry.
Go back to the playground, you pathetic bully, and leave
this site to people with something good to say about
others.
WT - What about each of the 3 you list has harmed or distressed you? Sorry -- they don't "speak for themselves" so you need to be a bit more articulate.
What was the point of your second list.. to indicate you really are a world traveller? Have you been to each of these places? What was wonderful about them, and especially the people there, in comparison to the scenic wonders and disappointing people in the US?
A.O.L.,
You didn't answer the questions. Why not? Anyway way if
the abovementioned examples mean nothing to you here's a
few more specific ones...
1. The majority of funding of the IRA (a terrorist
organisation) originates from Irish-Americans.
2. How can you have a World Series of anything if the rest
of the world is not involved? eg. baseball is the national
sport in Japan, and very popular in Australia, Mexico and
Russia.
3. The female judge at the Lewis-Holyfield heavyweight
unification fight who scored Holyfield as the clear winner
against all public opinion, fellow judges, journalists and
computer recounting was declared financially bankrupt prior
to the fight and was "assisted" in her rehabilitation by
Don King, who manages Holyfield.
NOW if you want any more friendly Aussie banter to pass the
time on this site you must not only answer my original 3
questions but also the following 3. Don't worry about
looking them up or getting them wrong, I'd just like your
perspecive.
1. Capital of Australia?
2. President of the EU?
3. Prime Minister of France?
Cheers mate
Oh, and Emily... why don't you go stick your head up a dead
bear's arse.
Convenient how you label anything that does not correspond
to your politics as "terrorist". God bless the IRA. As an
Irish American, I do not support violent measures but people
need to have a choice. Brits have been messing with mother
Ireland for too long. Some of my family had to come to the
States because the Brits were starving the Irish. And if
you don't like us sending the IRA money, PISS OFF! Long
live Ireland! I welcome the Irish with open arms.
WT - You didn't answer the question... how have any of the first 3 you mentioned harmed or distressed you personally? On the second 3... 1) What's your source for this info... I seriously doubt the IRA publishes an annual report with their donor list? 2) Who cares? It's all semantics...there's a "Miss Universe" contest which as far as I know has no off-worlders competing. 3) What fraction of the US populations participates or cares about it? One briber, one bribee, 2 fighters. And for this you (mis) label an entire country?

When you're ready...
Three examples of why I hate America (I average about 10 new reasons per day) that I've come up with since waking late this afternoon in time to catch Oprah who, instead of focusing on Americas new obsession with instant spirituality as she usual does, went straight to our REAL religion...CELEBRITIES!
1.Paula Abdul (!) announces Madonna will be directing Cher's new video...American population orgasmic with anticipation.
2.Gallup polls indicate 99% of bitter, overweight housewives support Pam Anderson's decision to remove implants,would vote for Tom Hanks over Bill Clinton in an election,think Will Smith should be in EVERY music video, t.v. show and movie, don't think it's even remotely possible Rosi O'Donnell could be a lesbian, and, oh yes, maybe there is something slightly askew with american culture, what with all the suburban school shootings.
3.The fact that common knowledge of anything Hollywood has replaced basic math and reading skills. How can the average american student be expected to know anything of world events when he doesn't know who Madeline Albright is or what coast the pacific ocean is on or... Well anyways, probably best not to get started on our lack of intelligence, culture and humor,(or that line dancing craze.) America is like an aging prom queen whos ego increases the more pathetic she becomes and she must be humiliated as frequently as possible! I myself will flee this god forsaken country as soon as I have the funds, but until then will sit on my lazy ass, (surviving on diet coke, marlboros, and hatred for Adam Sandler fans),bitching about the sad state of this country as reported by my favorite news programs, MTV 1515 and Hard Copy. Yes kids, hate can be fun and not everything should be taken to seriously!
