About the same age americans get used to car jacking, mugging, crack whores, guns in every house etc
Seriously, Australia is not really *that* hardcore. I feel a hell of a lot safer here than I would in the US
Well, you speak the truth in a way, i know you Americans have to deal with a different kind of wildlife, but a wildlife nonetheless (Dark primates etc)
That wildlife can be as unpredictable as australian crocs, snakes and whatnot
