> My parents are originally from Singapore, and like it or not, they at least have the law and order thing down pat.

I am prepared to put up with a bit of 'larrikinism' if the alternative is a society where nobody ever questions/breaks the rules.

Like these ridiculous laws in Sydney:

- Riding without a bicycle helmet: $319 - Riding furiously, recklessly or negligently (whatever that means): $425 - Cycling on footpath and over 12 years of age: $106

I wonder if the laws are because Australians are "larrikins" or the other way around.
