Comparing- Its not a good idea
 
I am new to this forum, found via my husband , mentioning it a few weeks ago, but he doesnt view them anymore due to his annoyance with some posts.


As a new comer, what I can see is too many people comparing one place with another, when its not like for like... you cant logically do it, and its not mathematically correct to do so.

All the polls are wrong, and comparison threads ill thought of, as that plants the seed of doubt, on whether you dont the wrong thing, as your intial though wont be "We have done the right thing" will it.

Land open your bag, settle down and make it your home, accept your new country and embrace it. If you dont like it go in peace, and take the positives, with you.

Its awful to read people bragging why one place is better tha the other, Id hate to live in perth say for the last 30 years and someone slag it off to the ninth degree.

just my say thats all

I would rather read a thread about someones experiences/ thought/ opinions on a particular place as opposed to reading this kind of pointless drivvel! :)

Well that's how this forum works. If you don't like different opinions, then maybe you shouldn't post.

I find some of the posts drivel, but if you like to read about how a beach in Perth or Brisbane is better than Southport, hos does that stack it.

or how someone was robbed, its like crimewatch on here. Some one has a pipe leak, they report it to BE, whats happened to picking up the white pages, and sorting it out.

No dont mistake me, I like the opionions, just you cant compare somethings, as there is no competition between them.

It's called a community Bstardo! It's about networking, communicating with others and - heaven forbid[!] making friends!(interesting name by the way - wondering if it was created purely for the purpose of causing trouble)?

So, if you dont compare the differences how will you know which place suits you best?

fluff,

dont get me wrong the name just come to me, maybe I cause reaction,
Think you have become sensitive about my post, I find it hard to understand comparisons, unless a set criteria has been set.

Ie- if you gave you and I $10k to go and buy the best possible car, and we had 2 days, to do it and bring it back, and we had to compare to find the best, within that budget, then its fair.

We could banter till the cows come home.

Here's one for you, perth is a goldfish bowl, you go around and around.

Did this chap or lady actually study the Australian history or demographics society or culture. I bet not, somewhere along the line the comparison will be with London New York or a made of utopia...
