Australian Stereotype.

Ok, I've had a question from some 'users', not naming names but if you have half a brain, you'll be able to figure out one of them is as too whether Australians are "normal" people like Americans and live in suberbs and cities or wether we all live in the outback with kangaroos running wild out our back door.

Do you think-
A: Australians live just like anyone else, in cities and suberbs or
B: Australians live in the outback with kangaroos at our back door step and we ride them to school and other stereotype crap.

With biased poll options, even a three-year-old could figure out the "correct" answer.

i think that is like saying that Germany still has bombed out buildings from British air raids (excluding museums). Get real.

steroetypes are not the answer. and yes, i pulled that randomness outa my arse.

The fact is that you can make thousands of polls for each stereotype. Most of them are only stereotypes that are found in movies or tv, not actual beliefs of normal people. But some people take some stereotypes as fact, and that's when it's sad.
