Arch, my point is if you look from the outside at countries who have lost multitudes of people through violence, Australia is a soft emotional country. And this is how we project ourselves. Imagine you complain and whinge about a splinter in your finger to a man who lost both his arms. You think he'll have a concerned opinion about you and your suffering?
What's more depending on his psych he may just wish you more suffering on a larger scale just to wake your ideas up.
