    You tell the young people of today that, and they dooont believe ya.

    You are pretty much wrong in every single point, your lack of any knowledge is disturbing, tell me which part of the US are you from?

  13. How ironic, someone from a country with the highest imprisonment rate in the western world calling Australia penal colony. That has not been the case for over 200 years.
