unspoken codes and discreet thought customs" comprise?
Seneca,
Several other cultures have that as well, it's like that goes without saying. You'll find that in most countries with age-old culture. The australian indigenous have it too.
You won't understand, it's a cultural thing.

Well might you wonder Seneca, I am with you.

Another mistake from NSB,
I got the wrong name of the right post, twas meant for individual, not Seneca

No but my parents were. We lived in Dee Why and they remember keeping buckets of sand out side the front door ready for Japanese attacks on Sydney.The Harbour Bridge was mined to blow up and the only deterrents to the Japanese were the US Navy and the one million US servicemen who came through Australia-our troops were in the Middle East.And thats why when these leftists start bashing America I really get peed off.
In Canberra, Brisbane and Adelaide.there are memorials dedicated to the United States.These American haters would not have the freedom to dump on America if the japanese had won the war,but they never would consider anything like that,because to them America is the enemy.

In grateful remembrance
of the vital help given by the
United States of America during
the war in the Pacific 1941-1945.
