Tash Peterson, 28, shouted 'their blood is on your hands' at the patrons eating out at Outback Jacks Bar and Grill on James Street, in Perth, on Saturday.

I've never visited Australia, but I've met about 100 Australians in my lifetime. I think about 50 of them are nuts (both men and women). They're zealots. My theory is that this behavior is due to their geographic isolation over time. Australians haven't been forced to confront and comprehend other peoples' perspectives and views.

True, I’ve noticed the same from Australians. They seem to know a lot about what’s going on in the rest of the world, but their isolation leads them to draw exactly the WRONG conclusions.

However, I do think that China, finally, is starting to get their attention (quite slowly, though).

The only Aussies I ever met were sailors from an Aussie cruiser in port at Naval Base San Juan. After a few drinks the language barrier dissolved. They did like their drinking!

Australians... They're zealots.... due to their geographic isolation...haven't been forced to confront and comprehend other peoples' perspectives and views.

Same with the island most of the white settlers came from originally. There's an old saying: "Irish Alzheimer's—you forget everything but your grudges."
