like I said, my local 7 eleven stooped carrying it last week :)

Going to sleep finally. I will just leave you guys with this

All these threads about America lately on GFY can only mean one thing: You European girls are all scared shitless cause you know what is coming. Total world domination by America, sponsored by VISA - accepted everywhere, even in your commie countries!

Australia tops international GDP growth poll

AUSTRALIA is tipped to have the fastest economic growth rate in the industrialised world this year, a survey by an international magazine said Tuesday.

A poll of 17 forecasters by The Economist, a London-based weekly, placed Australia at the top of the economic growth table with an average forecast of 4% GDP growth for 2002.

The next best placed economies were the United States and Canada with 2.9%, while Japan was at the bottom of the 16 economies ranked with a 0.8% contraction tipped.

"Australia is also tipped to top the league in 2003, with growth of 3.9%, followed closely by Canada (3.6%) and the United States (3.5%)," the magazine said.

But Australia's superior growth rate brought with it higher than average expectations for inflation and the current account deficit, the economists polled said.

Consumer prices in Australia were tipped to rise by 2.6% this year, third behind the Netherlands (3.6%) and Spain (3.1%). Australia's current account deficit was expected to be 3.5% of GDP, second only to the US (4.2% of GDP).

America?? You mean the United States - that is only one part of America and who cares?

---------------------

I can figure out what you mean when you say "football" and you can't figure out what I mean when I say "America"?

You may not be aware of this genius, but many parts of the world have different names to different people.

What do YOU say?

Germany or Deutschland?
Mexico or (pronounced) May-hico?
America or "The States"?

Joe,

I love Australia. Two of the biggest users of our feeds are Australian companies. I've always found the Australian Porn Mafia to be top-notch.

Ever been here?

this is all relating to growth...for 2002...which is all fine and dandy, but were not talking about how fast our dicks are growing...were talking about how big it is. Right now, United States is 13 inches. Australia is 3 inches. :Graucho

Colin:

America ain't the United States... but some may wish to think so. Whatever.. :Graucho

"Bestiality is legal in The Netherlands?!"

BYOD.

USA is the big 7 year old bully in the sandbox. Let's see what happens when USA reaches its teens. Hopefully not too much aggression.

Of course some people would call Germany Deutschland.. because Deutschland is German. Duh. However, America isn't in another language meaning the States. And for that matter, when someone says "hey do you like football" I think well hell, does he mean soccer? rugby union? rugby league? afl?

I agree that most people directly relate America to the United States, but his point is valid.

I think it's called an education :-)

you never know bro, we may just hit puberty and them hormones go out of control...and then boom, we nuke everyone but antartica!! Run europe, run!

Well man, that would be because you have 280 million people and we have 19 million people.

So on average, our dicks are bigger! :glugglug

America ain't the United States... but some may wish to think so. Whatever.."

You may be aware of the fact that sometimes the same word has more than one definition. The dictionary is full of them. If you rifle through one, you will notice that many have numbers next to them like this:

1. Definition 1
2. Definition 2

For example,

A·mer·i·ca
1. The United States.
2. The landmasses and islands of North America, Central America, and South America.

is it Joe? hey, this gives me an idea, lets have a GFY contest where we have several representatives from each country post a picture of their dicks, and we will have the women on GFY pick what they believe to be the best! Itll be like the GFY design contests:thumbsup

You guys mull that over while I get some sleep.

Colin, hasent America taught you anything? You don't argue with europeans with facts...instead you pull out your 12 gauge shotgun and just put some lead into them! :)

i'm going to re-heat some chili...

I looked up America on dictionary.com and found where you got your source from Colin, and oh look at the source of the definition:

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition

What a surprise. :P

Make sure you have some Fosters with that! :1orglaugh

You're mistaken. You can't fathom the fact that the citizens of a country called the "United States of America" would refer to itself as America. This all because the continents have the same name.

Count me in. What does the winner get? A night of passion with Aaron? :Graucho

I thought chili was a poor man's food!

seeing as How I am gonna win, we have to offer a prize that I have not had yet

Chilli Rocks! :thumbsup

Stagg Chilli is the best thing in a can to come out of America.

*sigh*
the one true benefit of mediocrity

:thumbsup

Yes, Dragon. You're a genius. I live in America. We call our country America and the source of that is other Americans.

Next thing you'll tell me the Mexicans can't say themselves Mehicans anymore. You think your terminology for countries is superior to the people that actually live there?

Omfg, a good sign that we are out of arguments...now it`s down to "my dick is bigger than yours"...

How `bout we stop this discussion before we get REALLY nasty and personal, eh?


Cheers!

:drinkup

To refer to something as something else is fine, unless it's directly conflicting with something else. By your logic, we could call the planet we live on THE UNIVERSE! Hey if everyone starts calling it that, IT MUST BE CORRECT! Wrong. The earth is NOT the universe. And the USA is NOT America. We can call it that for ease sure, but the fact is, it is simply NOT that.

my brother's ex-gf is Australian - i've got the inside scoop on your opinion of Fosters :glugglug

meta loves the cock :)

it was just a friendly suggestion. Of course it wouldnt be the first time that europeans wimp out of some healthy competition. :)

Joe,

I've never been there. I'm in it for the money. Australian porn companies = good money.

only if it is attached to 3 balls!
there is a riddle for you fuckers.
what kind of cock do I like, if it is attached to 3 balls? :)

You should visit. We're actually quite a friendly mob.

:glugglug

Guys who play soccer with their dicks?

whats 'soccer'?

Colin:

*You're mistaken. You can't fathom the fact that the citizens of a country called the "United States of America" would refer to itself as America. This all because the continents have the same name.*

DUH??? What "continents" have the same name? There is only one! The US is made up of a bundle of assorted "states" - that is not America!

There is MUCH more to America than the US :-)

Mmm.. geography???:Graucho

Sorry, I meant America. Guys who play America with their dicks.

Nice in principle. Maybe the way you want the world to work, but it doesn't. Language is ambiguous and you have to often determine meaning from context.

When I say South Africa do I mean the country or Southern Africa?

When I say "pet", do I mean Playmate, dog, or the verb (to pet)?

hahahaha... picking an arguement with Colin, is like trying to argue with a calculator. been there, dont that. never win.

good luck!
:winkwink:
