Well I assume you don't mean my country since the phrase "anti-American" is a real cleche.I am sympathic Rob but I still can't get by the notion that "THESE ARE MOVIES", not textbooks or even documentaries. How about we pop over to the Pub for a few pints to discuss this with a better perspective.
Rob, I agree to disagree and it's ok. However it happens my country IS slighted on the movies, and I don't really care. When you see Brazil in a movie it's either an animal infested jungle or a drug dealer infested "favela" (slums). Now, I'm 45 and I have only seen the jungle as a tourist, and have never seen a drug dealer in my life!
What can I say? Movies are not real life, one has to watch a movie like "Turista", about a group of english speaking tourists murdered for their organs in a Brazilian beach, as the nonsense it actually is!
Cheers...

Good one Uthred.
Well not to put to fine a point on it but isn't that why some of those Brits sent some of those Aussies downunder in the first place?
They were British when they were sent to Australia and they only sent them here after they could no longer send them to America following that war you guys had with them
Very good points Uthred,maybe i'll try not to take it to heart so much.I guess i'm very proud of country and sometimes go overboard(sound of guffaws of laughter across the forum
Rob
Rob, I'm very proud of my country as well, and not only for its soccer (football for you) or the beaches! But I guess people must understand the movies are completely different than real life. I know some guys out there will never understand this. But do I really care aboyt their opinion? I don't, believe me...
Cheers...

Oh maybe something else, depending on their age, inclinations and perhaps degree of sobriety of course.
Good one indeed! I don't think the tourists are in danger of losing anything on Brazilian beaches, except their pale color and some cash!
Don't forget your female football fans too
Rob
Funnily enough it came from Mrs Gibson!
Nope, i like to think i have some Aussie friends on this here forum,but i know a lot of Aussies don't like us at all.But then a lot of Brits don't like the Aussies so go figure!

Yes, quite fitting too for those who get their history from anything said on this forum.You're warping history more than Mel
(although i fear for this year,we are not looking too strong at the moment-have been watching the IPL and really enjoying it.So if we lose the Ashes Oz, i'll say i'm not interested in that anymore and the IPL is now my fave )

Thank you Oz,much appreciated.Yes i did over egg it a bit,its only really a strong competitive streak from both nations re the Ashes really.And that does make for some great Cricket matches.

LOL Uthred if there ever was a set up for an wicked turn of phrase.......People come to Brazil to lose all sorts of things!
Not their organs, though, I'm glad to say...
Cheers...
Uthred
Probably a good thing this a PG forum.
