In reply to JDal: That's a pretty angry answer for a pacifist
I really find it hard to believe that you never seen a fight in all your time in Newcastle and Glasgow but I'll take your word for it. But the schoolboy stuff you talk about, well that is pretty rare as well in Austria.
I'm not saying that everything is perfect in Austria. Far from it. There are many things in England which are much much better in England. For example, there is far less socially exceptable racism and homophobia in England. But to think that quality of life is superior in England compared to the rest of Europe is seriously deluded.
With regards to the homophobic comment, I'm 100% sure that no offence was meant, but if you replace that word with a common racist word, do you think it would have be publishable?
