Must be coz they have a better life so don't feel the need. :)

There is a class structure, that has been around for years, but it is not as pronounced as in the UK. It is only a minority that seem to lord it over everyone else, because they have got a better job, more money etc, or just a snobby attitude, and I'm speaking as a non-migrant Australian.

Sorry couldn't get past this one.

Freedom.... do to what the ***** you want regardless of how it annoys your neighbours

Space... you can assume that cos you live on an acre of land your neighbours cant hear your angle grinding, metal drilling power tool, and your fart fart phut phut motorbikes, and revving god knows what kind of engines all night.

Tolerance... "yeah mate you're in red neck country, tolerate me, I'm into noisy things, soes the neighbrse. got a problem with that. I've got me tattooes, , I'll revv me engines when a want? Where the ***** do you think you live?"

Yehp I sympathise, about you with your neighbours. I reckon you would do well to move.

I'll explain a bit more..

Freedom .... to be yourself, and think how you like, without fear of being labeled.

Space.... to be able to walk and go somewhere without being crowded in or deviating from a path.

Tolerance... To be able to Tolerate things like noisy neighbours, knowing that there must be certain things that you do that annoy them.... Like my Neighbour playing drums most weekends... and me starting my car up at 11.30 pm every week night, to go to work, within 10 metres of his bedroom window. Oh and to enjoy the fact that when you go shopping, you will hear a lot of foreign language spoken... especially around here.
