almost everyone who lives in Victoria are mad at the fact they live in Victoria.
Victorians (as a whole) are too apathetic to do anything about the way they live. if they were not apathetic (as a whole) then they would all just leave Victoria and flood the better states, and countries.
even i used to be mad, so i moved back tokyo. dont have to worry about cars or speeding tickets, or immigrants undercutting me at my own job etc.
serious? I love Victoria/Melbourne! I'd pick it in a heartbeat to live in followed by Brisbane then Sydney. So we have govt who collects a lot of money through fine, big deal, dont speed, its not like we like in Iraq or a country that has REAL problems.
Also I like how you said you dont have to worry about immigrants undercutting you at your job so you then moved BACK to Tokyo implying you yourself were an immigrant here.
thats right i was an immigrant in Melbourne. by stating that i shown how easy it is for immigrants to undercut locals, and each other.
i couldnt go to a swimming pool in summer without having to feel unsafe by rowdy youth. even to go night club, its really dangerous. Melbourne is famous as a stabbing place.
about govt who collects fines. i dont care, actually the OPPOSITE, i felt unsafe on the roads due to people aged between 30 and 55 and their arrogant "im invincible i can drive like an crazy person" attitudes.. i wish there was 10 times the amount of police and speed cameras in Melbourne. drivers need to grow the freak up and stop playing with fire, cars are dangerous, stop endangering people so they can ATTEMPT to get home one min early... freak they live in such a small city, its not like they actually have fun things to do.
as gordon ramsey said "Melbourne is the ass end of the world" it really is a toilet bowl where somebody has added every culture, stirred them around, let simmer and fight amongst themselfs, and degenerate to the point of rudeness becoming the social norm, and violence a common thing.
as for you saing its not like it has REAL problems, not so. infrastructure is freaked, roads cant cope with the amount of peoplem trains... well lol need i say more, trams that share roads with cars, not enough car parking in important areas, current unemploment rates are bad yet they let more and more people in, the rising crime rates, the decaying values of society... there is just so so many huge problems.
hell i know this is a small thing to most people, but get this... i made a 12 hour trip back to australia, and i was in a elevator, as the doors opened, a kid and his dad walked in before i got out, i just stood there in shock, then they moved back and i got out, the dad said to his son "dont worry its ok u did nothing wrong".... ha it set me off so bad, i walked back got in the elevevator and stated... "no you and your son both did something wrong, see im supposed to get out of the elevator, then you come into the elevator, we call it common decency... as far as telling your son he did nothing wrong, you are the reason for the decaying social values of Melbourne, all it takes is one generation of hopless parents, and they stuff up the next generation of kids, who well, they are the blind and they will be leading the blind, the next generation deteriorates even more"... i said it in THE most reasonable and nicest tone, and he then given me the typical melbournian response of "ha you cant tell me what to do, this is a free country" in an angry voice.... i just told him hes a lost cause and to keep living in Victoria, just dont come to other places and infect them. i learned if you ever get in an arguement with an AVERAGE melbournian parent, just patronise them, they respond with agression in 90% of times, so just patronise them in a non agressive way again... sets them right off and gives man LULZ.
dont get me wrong, i dont feel like a hero for doing that... i feel like justice, although im not enough to go around. so i wish others could just man up and tell everyone off for being rude, maybe it could make a difference, even if it doesn't, at least you tried.
anyways as a fellow ex Victorian, i hope im able to snap some people out of their apathy. but its not easy work, it IS Victorians im talking too >_<... so i give up.
