I was in the US for a short time when I was 19 in 1979 and the Yanks I met could not have been  more generous. My father fought alongside some of you blokes in the New Guinea jungle in World War II and he said they were decent men. I know there are differences in culture for sure and some Aussies don't understand that. But there are plenty of clowns out here too.
Respectful competition is all good but it really is a sign of weakness to me if a man can't take a loss. The truth is the truth.
Cheers.
