I don't think I would ever go to either Hawaii or Australia because I have the impression that the locals would hate me and deride me for being a tourist. I don't know where that impression comes from, but that's the feeling I get from Australians and Hawaiians. I just feel like they (in general) hate tourists.

My answer to this is reminds me of a thread I started long ago about "Have You Ever Met an American?" (http://tfproject.org/tfp/showthread....&threadid=7107 )in which I wanted to hear the generalities about Americans that other people have. The thread began marvelously as TFPers from Finland, Ireland, Australia, Canada, etc., answered very openly and honestly about their general impressions of Americans.

And then the thread was quickly killed by litte junior Jesse Jacksons who kept admonishing the posters as to what bad people they were for even daring to voice a generalization.

It was a good thread killed by stupid people.

So I wouldn't be surprised if they flock to this thread and start handing out demerits.
