The welfare state

[Smifffy]

Ill add this , from a book written by a famous "Im not quite dead yet " smart person

The people in the culture of poverty have a strong feeling of marginality, of helplessness, of dependency, of not belonging. They are like aliens in their own country, convinced that the existing institutions do not serve their interests and needs. Along with this feeling of powerlessness is a widespread feeling of inferiority, of personal unworthiness......

There is only one person that can control an individuals feelings.

Maybe they don't know how to feel any differently. Maybe the welfare payments are just perpetuating the problem. In that case don't we owe it to them to stop the payments and try something else?

both New York and Mexico are paying a lump sum of 5000 dollars to families who meet educational and lifestyle target as set down by government.

A happy well balance self actualised individual only. How many of those do you come across? Very few are in charge of their feelings.

A good secure family goes a long way, as does a thriving community. Some individuals have nothing to work for, emotionally, no hope.

You aint named Boris the Biter for nothing, are ya!

You continue to live in your perfect world but when everything goes belly up and you end up in strife regardless of your awesome planning, saving etc don't complain!

Got it?

See that's the difference, i wouldn't be there with my hand out or complaining i would just get on and do it.

What have you got against Africans?

They tend to be arrogant self serving biggots who think the world owes them a living.

I hope it doesn't happen to you and if it does that you are in a position to get on and do it but that isn't always the case. In that case I hope you have the balls to admit you were wrong unlike most who live by glib quotes who always find excuses or ignore their mistakes.

That's the first I've heard.


It's a bit hard to make a living when I can't find a job and when polytech don't want me.

Never said he did, nor have i said this was about him. Like i said i am talking generally and if he, or anyone else has taken offence by this then thats up to them.

Me too, and trust me I could never ignore my mistakes as there would be way to many that would keep reminding me of them.

I don't live by quotes, they are just quicker to type.

Do you read some of your posts before you submit them?

I have at least two guys a month come in looking for work. Not counting the drop kicks who think using the phone is 'looking'. In the 3 years I have been here there would be ummmmmmm none that I would have considered interviewing had I had a job going.

• Personal grooming is important
• your CV needs to be well presented
• Attitude is everything. Attitude is everything. Attitude is everything.

The best will in the world will not get anyone a job if their approach and attitude suck arse. And don't fool yourself. Most people over 35 can spot a bad attitude from a mile away.

The few people I have thought 'might' one day be worth a look have all been made the same offer. Call in for a coffee on your free time. Hang around a bit. Watch what we do and how we do it. Ask intelligent questions. Give me the chance to see that you are keen and want to learn. I'm still waiting.

I used to take leave from my real job and spend time here so I could learn and help out where I could. Never asked for anything in return. Eight years later I own the place.

Oh ... So you are still one of those bludgers living off the welfare state ...

Whenever I go into places to hand in my CV, I'm always really well presented. I don't go in wearing a hoodie and ripped up jeans, I wear a nice button up shirt, tidy dress pants and a pair of shoes to match.

My CV is well presented and I have 2 references on it.

Oh ... So you are still one of those bludgers living off the welfare state ...

I don't have much other choice if I can't find a job and when training institutions don't want to know about me.

It sucks how I need qualifications to be accepted into a course, but I can't get any bloody qualifications unless I do a course!

That's just bullshit mate ... there are plenty of bridging programmes to get you into the qualification path ... You're just like those lazy Māoris bludging off the welfare state you're always on about .. no better, no worse

No, definitely worse. He comes to "our" country mocks "our" natives and then lives off, of our welfare.
