    I heard an East African guy on a radio panel thing once, cant' remember the context but the subject came up. His explanation was that he comes from a country with huge population density and large families and basically if you don't shout nobody listens to you. He said he tries to keep it down because he's aware that Irish people can find it quite aggressive and anti-social, but most of the time he doesn't even realise he's doing it.

    Anyways, never mind that, what about Australians.

    Anyone who's queued behind a Nigerian on a mobile will wonder why East Africans are getting all the attention here.

    Germans and Africans hearing isn't as good or sharp as the rest of the worlds. This is because the people shout so it affects their hearing hence why they have to shout.

    Really? I would have thought the stereotype was that the Yanks are loud and the Germans quietly giving out about it. But underhanded and wouldn't dare to confront. I think we can be loud in groups alright.
    I know a few Italians and coincidently or not their men have quite a booming voice and you hear them all across the room and they think they're talking in a normal voice. I'm sure there are very quiet Italians too.

    Irish - Why are Americans so loud?

    Canadians - Why are the Irish so loud?

    Germans - Why are the Australians so loud?

    Spanish - Why are we so loud?

    I'm wondering why everyone is so ****ing loud.

    Life is beautiful and kind, so you should always tell people how beautiful life is and that all peoples should love each other.

    However, life is also horrible and cruel. To illustrate this point, you should scream the above at them in German.
