commonwealth games hyperbole

As another example of the Australians (they are no more the endeared Aussies of the Anzac and Flanders trenches legends but loud mouthed louts - how do you know an "Aussie" tourist is coming? You hear the plane before you see it. As for there being no red carpet for him, he politely thinks someone must have mixed up the date of his arrival) having to prove they are better than anyone else is the juvenile competition about the number of gold medals the country has won and about in adversity (the cyclone at Innesfail), "us Aussies pull together". Bullshit bullshit bullshit which if you say it often enough becomes the believed truth. Did they not see the Filipinos and the Pakistanis pulling their countrymen from under slabs of concrete and out of the mud? Or the Chinese and the poor bloody shat upon Iraqis? Or the Yanks for all their bumbling with their rescue efforts in their cyclone? If you believed an Australian, in all these other tragedies the neighbours go home and turn on the tele and have a cup of tea and scones. As for the medals, 11 Indian hockey players can only win won medal but a swimmer or a runner or cyclist can win up to about six medals so really the medal count is meaningless or else is skewed in favour of the Western Sports - all power to the individual. Forget this socialist working together thing - that's only for losers like the Filipinos and Pakistanis and Iraqis and Yanks who have natural disasters. And the "Aussies" when it suits them.
