They don't respect other people's lives (king hits and punch ups), they don't respect the feelings of others (cyber bullying and some atricious comments on social networking), they don't respect other people's property (Mrs Greenie's car), they want something they take it (haven't we all had stuff we've worked hard to pay for stolen at some point), they tell their bosses they have no right to tell them they can't wear baseball caps backwards when dealing with customers or have a million piercings because it breaches their human rights (and again no mention of their responsibilities) and they think the world owes them a living.

    Climbing down off my soapbox now.

    Yes I alot of ways i agree Joanne but I just dont think it is all of them...there is a lot like that but there are some bloody good ones amongst them too. How do we fix it. I don't know. What i do know is that there are a lot out there that believe the world owes them something but are no prepared to get up and work for it.
    Cheers

    Lost a good mate yesterday, swept off the rocks while fishing. Will be really missed here, he was a local fishing legend at Currarong, club champion many times and a lovely fella to boot - rest in peace Peter

    Sorry to hear that Paul...

    It was around this time last year when you lost one of your close neighbors wasn't it? How is his wife and kids getting on?
