#1 I resemble that remark! I was born and grew up in Alabama. All of my family are in Alabama. We can out-redneck the Aussies any time.

#3 SO.... Robin Williams insults Australia, the least he could do is insult a place Robin Williams is actually _FROM_. I don't think Alabama quite fits.

#4 All Australian politicians on the Left think there are votes in anti-Americanism.

Robin Williams is a comedian. Kevin Rudd OTOH is a joke.

#6 FYI, a 'bogan' in Australian slang pretty much translates to 'redneck', although bogan is less derogatory and also widely used.

#7 Redneck's kinda like that other word, how much of an insult it is depends on who's using it, tone of voice, etc.

#8 Yup intent, attitude, and tone tell if the insult is friendly or looking for a spot of trouble.

#9 My daughter just got back from LA - college kids in a beach house at Gulf Shores. She loved it. Of course, coming from a Chicago winter helped the impression.

She also liked the stop for dinner in the Birmingham suburbs, but locals warned from stopping in Montgomery. What's up with that?
