Stupid World

Don't bother, it was about how production comes about, not something you've ever demonstrated any aptitude for.

Is that production of real stuff or just production of stuff for the sake of creating money? Either way, yup, not a clue.

She's right... but I don't see her not blaming us. I guess it doesn't suit your narrative eh.

"Until we deal with colonisation, until we deal with neo-liberalism, until we deal with the impacts of individualisation, deal with the impacts of oppressive gender ideas, until we are willing to do the hard work around that, I'm sorry to say that it's not going to change."

My "narrative" comes from the fact that I've never assaulted my kids. So I'm not any part of your "we".

And until "they" recognise that blaming "us" for killing their kids is simply a pathetic attempt to share the blame and admit that those that do kill their kids are the ones that need to change then she's right: nothing will change.


Bit like you, blaming everyone else for the fact that the world's not the shape you'd like it to be.

Athletes might not get Pokemon, but they'll have access to 450,000 condoms, or three times as many as the London Olympics. Of those, 100,000 are female condoms. Officials deny that it's a response to the Zika virus, which has been linked to miscarriages and birth defects in babies born to women who have been infected.

Is Pokemon really more fun than bonking?.

For my first house, I had 25 percent, & we had two incomes, but they wouldn't include my wife's income, because she might get pregnant & not be able to work & there was no paid maternity leave then. So they turned me down due to not earning enough.
That was in the days of the award wage, that's prior to minimum wage, when each trade had its own personalised minimum wage. i was earning in excess of that & we got there in the end.

Working the normal 40 hour week and 5hrs on Saturday grossed me $35.

Sold my new TS 250, used that as deposit on my first section, then ran to work for next 5 years , spent all spare time clearing the lupins and flattening the sand hill with the help of some mates and an old 1930 Oliver tractor.

Got a Housing corp loan and had a 1000sq foot franchise type house built and completed for $16k, wife stayed home and raised 3 kids whilst I worked 12 hour days, 72hr weeks on the long week and 65 hrs on the short week.

We were mortgage free in 20 yrs and had an increasing asset as we worked to add value over the years with extensions, sheds etc.

Was it tough, hell yeah especially when interest rates hit 15% and it took most of my income to hold onto our home, supplementary food was sourced from the river and sea and much of our meat was hunted. My kids grew up on Rabbits as a main part of our diet.

I see real hardship overseas, and without sounding mean, I honestly don't believe we that have the same level of genuine hardship in this country, apart from those poor individuals who mainly through intellectual or brain injury are incapable of making lifes decisions.

lol, I know the secret to being married for over 40 years has been communication, but it still pisses me off when she looks over the top of her book and asks if I have finished yet.
