    Don't get me wrong, I love multiculturalism for all the right reasons. I wish we would adopt more of the better parts of culture that exists in the world.
    But, don't choose to live here then tell me how much better your homeland is. Also, don't make excuses for your unacceptable behaviour based on religious beliefs.

    "Why do people buy farm/country land?"



    Because they are not making any more of it, in fact much of it gets flushed down the rivers and into the sea.

    One day it will ALL be in the sea.

    Been on that road, and many others just like it in the outback of OZ. "Flat as a tack"

    I've got a small block at hill end, nsw.
    Its sheep country.
    The finest wool comes from the poorest country, , where sheep have to walk the most.
    People up there dont like the city, they avoid it.
    I've known people who have been never been to sydney from
    Hill end.
    You can actually hear the silence at night .
    Takes 3days to start to slow down.
    Good pub.
    Open fireplaces.

    I'm hearing you, I'm hearing you. :cool:

    For example - go to Brighton Le Sands Beach today Easter Sunday or any beautiful weekend and watch a certain tribe of people out and about. Then watch our shared council rate $$$ being spent just trying to keep up with the maintenance of such a nice picnic area the day afterwards. It's there for us all to enjoy with rubbish bins only 40m away from any point on the beach. I can only assume that the reason why they and others go there is because the like the place however .... watch that race of people destroy it within an 8 hour period with their food/plastics/paper/bottles they bring from their homes and leave without a care in the world expecting our rate $$$ to take up the slack for their backward thinking. Who cares it will be clean for next weekend too so why bother picking up my rubbish it's like magic :mad:

    Don't even go down the path that they are 1st gen and don't know any better because I see 2nd & 3rd gen with them and they were brought up here in Oz, educated in the same school environment as us so they have no excuses. It simply comes down to what you said above, some customs are simply not needed here and if you don't like it go back to your homeland and take your rubbish with you. I can live without having a Kebab, or having my driveway cemented over, :lol: if that's the only thing you're good for.

    Sorry we've really steared off topic here and I'm ranting :rolleyes: :p

    When you go past Sans Souci you are entering God's Country. There should be a mega giant Aussie flag at the end of Captain Cook's bridge.
