My point is that you continually paint us into a culture less box. You paint yourself as this highly educated, world traveler that that frowns on anything and everything that is not from Australia
You also called me ignorant which without knowing me in the slightest is an ignorant statement in itself.
You?re right... I know more about classical music then you do... That being said... it is safe to say I know more about every type of music then you do. You might know a bit about film and that?s very exciting for you.... I can tell.
Keep in mind Joe.... studying an art does not an artist make. You can talk to me about your "art" in about 28 years... That?s how long I have been practicing mine.
You can bash our culture all you want man. Only ignorant people bash something they covet or don?t understand.

1. I do not frown on anything and everything that isn't from Australia. I love art from all countries.
2. You know more about ALL types of music than me but I only know a "bit" more about film than you. How very patronising.
3. I'm not bashing your culture. I'm bashing those who equate popularity with artistic value.
4. If I called you ignorant it's because I believe you made an ignorant statement. I may have been pissedoff at the time.
5. It's true that studying art does not an artist make. I never called myself an artist. But studying art did give me an undertsanding of film technique/film theory/film history that most will never have.
6. I understand your culture more than you understnd mine. This I guarantee you. Aside from spending six months in your country I was married to an American for 9 years.
