The Ozcans Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 94% of young people are happy????? That's the problem then isn't it? Indifference. Distracted by consumer goodies. Greedy. Selfish. In the good old days young people were never happy!!! Always fighting for a better world and being politically subversive!! GET ME OUT OF HERE QUICK!!!!!!! I don't want to live with 'happy young people'!!!!!!! How depressing!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Earls, I have to disagree with you, I dont see many happy people about at the moment but i am not sure it is down to the economy. I think a lot of it is due to general society and lawlessness that is rife in England. You can carry a knife without any risk of being arrested, hell you can virtually use one and only get a few weeks inside. Like the Ozcans rightly point out on a regular basis feral kids are running the streets intimidating people and generally causing mayhem. Society today is rotten to the core and until we have leaders that are willing to sort this out it will only get worse. I do not want my kids growing up in that enviroment and before you say it Oz maybe no better but its worth a try. The economy can recover but can our sick society?

The Ozcans Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Good Grief Earslwood, We all know about the 2 knife threats, you mention them nearly every thread you post on. Many of us have or have had experiences of this sort, but we're not trying to make people change their lives because of our experiences. I get that you're trying to give a different perspective on Oz. But if fate throws it at you, deal with it and move on. But I swear if I read about it again I'm gonna scream!!!

We have brought our children back to Britain to give them a decent state education, and not have to put them through private education in Australia. I can't speak for England but having experienced the Scottish education system, compared to the very dumbed down Australian version, I sure am glad I brought them back.

Yes I am the one going on about crime in this country and no i cannot comment on the situation in oz as I have never lived there, but what I do no is England is no longer the place i want to raise my children, and as you keep banging on about the crime rate do you seriously believe that the crime figures in this country have not been fiddled, because if you do I am afraid you are deluded! andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crime happens worldwide...the vast majority of people never experience being mugged or having their houses robbed...let's not belive all the overblown media...your chances are remote of being robbed in Oz or in the UK.

As I have said before earls crime is not the only reason I want to move abroad, it is just one of them, I want my children to have the experience of living in another country and think that anyone like myself who sells up and gives up everything here to try to give themselves and there family a better life deserves credit for giving it a shot. I am beginning to think you are very bitter at your faliure to make a better life for yourself and want to take out your immature frustrations on those yet to try.andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
