In defense of Joe Sixpack and any other Australian that views or replies to this thread: No Australian citizen get's a single dollar from the US for nothing, so don't go with the "we give everyone money" BS.
The only thing we know about America is your television shows, some of your companies investing into Australian business' (which make news at times) and the odd tourist that comes from America to visit our country.
The one thing that is self evident, is that you (US citizens that have not travelled outside the US) are very ignorant to how the world outside the US is, because your media only talks about specific things directly related to America.
I don't know if that is healthy for America, as it leads to a lot of confusion by many US born citizens when relating to; and having conversations about anything global. For the most part to be in America, you have to be an American.
Where as, to live in Australia, it's totally fine that you're foreign, as our country has so many ethnic and non ethnic groups. Our mainstream media regularly shows stuff that relate to all people, so I think because of this, we're generally better informed.
