Is it just america? robin hood. guy fawkes.
Ned Kelly is an Australian icon, primarily known for an armoured shoot out with the cops.
Guy Fawkes isn't idolised, the festival is about burning him alive and even if you don't agree with that his reasons for doing what he did were shit
Ah. I guess V for vendetta made me think it was celebrating him.
That was an alternate history where he was successful and celebrated.
Brazil has Lampião and Padre Ciço. ... Though Ciço is less 'criminal' and more 'heretic'. He's considered a saint by many nevertheless.
Guy fawks is British
Yes, that is the point
I'd love to hear where you think Robin Hood is from
I thought both were from the uk.
They are
Yeah I can't refute stinkys comment without actually living there or at least having a friend or something I stay in close contact with or something.

"is it just America? Guy Fawkes" means "is it just america? Guy Fawkes is an example of an outlaw idolized by Americans who is not himself an American"

From da 'hood, obviously.
