How come a heavy object and a light object fall at the same speed on earth

(ignoring wind resistance) ? If objects with larger masses have a stronger force of gravity between them, then why would they fall at the same speed as an object with a smaller mass?
 
Acceleration due to gravity is a constant (with some variation dependant on location on earth) and is constant at around 9.8m/s/s. Acceleration is the same on all objects when acted on only by gravity. I thinks thats why but its a bit weird.
