Re: The right and the wrong....
So, another thread has been locked because of the way that someone posted, and others reactions to that post.
As Sue said, people need to know the good and the bad of places that they are emigrating too...or places that they are considering.
But
A. There is no reason to be rude or self-righteous
B. It is only personal opinion.
No country is perfect - but what may be 'wrong' for one person, may be 'right' for another ....and I think there is too many post which try to lay things down too black and white...and so giving possibly 'false' information.
Give people the chance to make their own minds up without ramming things down their throats.
I've been here for a good while now...and have seen some pretty nasty comments made ... we are here to help one another....not to just moan and bite back.
Lets make these informative/opinion posts educational and enlightening eh?
Sorry if you think I'm moaning (
) but just get pissed off with all the nastiness.

Re: The right and the wrong....
There was a bloke complaining to Sue about pack hunting on the MTBUK forum.
Bizarre, the biggest insults, anger and hatred come from them anyhow. They just can't see it - it baffles me.
Agree with Cas and Wendy, I don't care that people don't like Australia but I don't like to be told I can't like it here too, especially when I hold all the cards and they're losing the game.
