Ay, Rod. Is "Fosters" really Australian for "beer" as the ads claim over here?

I like the term 'fellow foreign citizen' best, which is what is supposed tp be te PC term for any foreign (or foreign looking) person. It doesn't make much sense to me anyways.
Tom, "Fosters" is probably better known Internationally , here it is just another brand of Aussie "piss" (beer) each state has its own favorite brands and their loyal devotees European beer is gaining in popularity my prefered brand is "four XXXX" known amongst us locals as "barbed wire"

Spiral, yep thats a thought I suppose except we dont like watering down our drinks here,prefer to take them neat. But in keeping with good international tolerence can completely understand the Poms needs to dilute our beer, it is after all a "mans" drink

Spiral,
IF you go back and look, I asked you as politely as anyone could, didnt I ?
"could you please stop using the term "jap"?
Id appreciate it."
Did I do this out of some vague liberal-ish worry about people I dont even know?
Well, my wife is Japanese, my brothers-in law, sister in law, father in law, mother in law ,neices, nephews, etc, etc, etc.
My frustrations with the Japanese culture are absolutely irrelevant.
My request that people here not say unkind things to overweight people is also relevant, and I think your using that thread as some kind of indicator of bias or emotional problem on my part is nothing less than an indicator of the bias and emotional indicator on your part.
I grew up in Texas, so I am familiar with the " I'm just a big racist a$$hole so you have to love me the way I am" type personalities such as yourself.
However, I have been too well educated to just accept that kind of ignorant, adolescent behavior. You know better. I know you know better.
As I said before, I asked you politely and you didnt even consider it, you attacked me.
Kiss my a$$.
