We have a unique national sport (Aussie Rules); we have unique slang, we have unique institutions, we have a unique history, we have a unique national identity, we have our own poets, authors, playwrights, singers, actors, composers, artists, musicians, customs, traditions, social mores, architects, builders, inventors, humourists, etc. If that doesn't add up to an Australian culture, I don't know what does.

Not that I am meaning to bash any English poeple on the forum!

But there are so many teenagers and kids who are just out of control! When they are 12-13 they are not disciplined and they can do what they like (my girlfriend is a teacher and they are POWERLESS to do anything).

By the time they are 16-18 they have had a decade of doing whatver they want with no repercussions - no one has ever kicked them up the arse!

So you end up with a whole bunch of 18 year olds who are drinking and have been doing whatever they like for the past 10 years - what you think you're gonna get!?!?

I am a 30 year old aussie former lifeguard, I'm pretty fit and tall/strong and I was raised with 3 brothers so I know how to look after myself - I ain't afraid of very much but I AM afraid of the 14 year olds in the High Street. Cause in this backwards country they can do whatver they like and nothing will ever happen to them!!!!!

I actually intervened in an altercation between a young girl (about 19-20) and a few little thugs that were giving her a hard time in the High Street. She was wandering along minding her own business and they approached her and started asking for money and cigarettes. They were really hassling this poor girl and so I couldn't leave her there by herself. I gave one of them a clip around the ear. When the police turned up guess who got cautioned!!

This place is going to have massive social problems in a few years!

You even managed to missspell "concerned", which I found quite amusing.
