Dear rehctub,

Sometimes people have no choice but to leave
for the sake of their sanity. I recently saw
a program - where ocker "ferals" had moved in -
and some of the neighbours ended up selling and
moving out. They apparently decided it just wasn't
worth staying - because these creeps weren't
about to listen to anybody's complaints. They were
aggressive - and so disruptive - that several neighbours
finally decided it best to simply move.

Then there was another program -
where the neighbour had over 500 rats (as pets)
in their garage. The RSPCA issued a notice to
that family to clean things up - How's that for
neighbours?

Bad behaviour is not the exclusive right of any
particular group. Unfortunately the ones that do
behave badly are usually a minority - that give
everyone else a bad name.

For example - the
myth about the "ugly American" tourist - who supposedly
acts so arrogantly and rudely - when travelling overseas.
Some may - but not all do. The same goes for - an
article that was printed in the "National Lampoon" (USA)
magazine:

"Violently loud alcoholic roughnecks whose idea of
fun is to throw up on your car. The national sport is
breaking furniture and the average daily consumption of beer
in Sydney is ten and three quarters Imperial gallons
for children under the age of nine.
...Possibly as a result of their country being upside down,
the local dialect has over 400 terms for "vomit."

Is this a "true" picture of Australians?

Of course not!

The suburban life and well-being of Australian society
may have been the butt of many jokes like the USA one I've
just given in the past - however the intolerance towards
"new Australians" is today seen as an unjustifiable prejudice
and something that many Australians are no longer proud of.

The car bomb - went off - while being delivered to a
rival bikie gang - by a known bikie drug dealer and his
associate. The police arrested a local bikie associate
in their home.

Dear Foxy
Although throwing up on ones car or being an unrully nieghbour is something none of us like, it comes a distant second to those who run major drugg trafficing rings or plan mass murders by way of terrorisum.

The fact remains that so long as we continue to invite those who practice radical relgious customs, while here in our country, we will always be concerned about racial violence.

I have said before, if you where on a bus and some kid hopped on with a back-pack, you would think little of it, however, if he also had a towel on his head you would no doubt feel uncomfortable.
