C'mon you intellectual-midgets ... get real !! --- we are living in a global culture/village/blah/etc ... the ' honour ' thing is actually very strong in Australian-youth-culture, tho it tends to be a volitile mix of self,family,peer-group honour , not just ' family ' honour as youz seem to be narrowly-ignorantly convincing yourselfz,vsv 'other cultures' ... the ' hidden' , horrendous stats on youth sewerside in both rural&urban Aus' point to etc,etc,etc ... why shake your head in sadness, grass-hopper ? ... itz simple : '...Palestinian kids blowing themselves to pieces...', look forward to death the same way Aussies look forward to the week-end ...
