463 state houses vacant due to P contamination.

I get the anxiety. To break that down for ya, it's pretty much not being able to get over every mistake I've ever made.

Fuck's sake Drew - welcome to reality.

We all have shit to deal with.

How the fuck can you be so intolerant of other people's anxieties or sense of failure/mistake?

Before you go beating on the evel corporates, NZ has about the lowest tax avoidance in the western world.

In spite of the fact that the top income earners pay most of the tax bill.

And is it really fair that someone that earns 500,000 a year has to give half of it away? Surely the higher earners should pay a lower percentage in tax not a higher percentage. If we are all supposed to be contributing equally to the tax pot? Why are they punished for being good at their jobs?

[Katman]

Why are they punished for being good at their jobs?

Because 99% of them are nothing more than money hungry cunts.

Other than ACC ?

Post a period of self employment was fun as despite MANY medical certificates (non ACC) there was still a stand down period during which as I assume you refer, there was much argument....but i cheated, i had expert advice and beat them in the end, succeeding in obtaining a benefit for the period needed.
About a 3.9 on the Olympic scale of difficulty....
Let me know if you need help....

Cheers, old news though.

In the end I couldn't be fucked jumping through that many hoops designed solely to avoid paying me what I was legally entitled to and which my tax had more than covered. I just walked away from tens of thousands worth.

I haven't even taken the liberty of minimising my tax liabilities to sort of balance the books as a result.

But I've got a fucking long memory...

[Ocean1]

You enlighten me?

I know, right?

You're just too fucking thick to learn anything.

[mashman]

I know, right?

You're just too fucking thick to learn anything.

Yeah, but to be fair anything pre-1970 isn't worth learning, let alone the pre-1870 view of life you prescribe to.

Because everyone gets to vote that they should.

And it isn't fair, but that's OK, they're mostly big enough to deal with it.

They should probably benefit from their own largess along with everyone else though, eh?

[Ocean1]

Yeah, but to be fair anything pre-1970 isn't worth learning, let alone the pre-1870 view of life you prescribe to.

They did teach me the correct use of "subscribe" and "prescribe" way back then though.

And a shitload of other stuff you'll never be man enough to figure out.

Can't fucking learn any fucking thing when you fucking know every fucking thing. Favourite topic = cock sucking apparently.

Dude, fuck off and play with your missus.

You're making a fool of yourself here.

Or the required adress - or the bank a/c needed to receive the benefit....
In this country it is actually surprisingly difficult to get a benefit at all.
Long stand downs after losing a job - for reasons not of your making - also make it dammed difficult to survive before being eligible for anything.

Saw one of the do gooders this morning saying move families into the houses needing repair and work around them...good idea. Will housing NZ do it ?
Fuck no - scared of their own shadow. A kid might get hurt....

HAHA You guys must have it hard in the South Island, my ex mother in law made a career of not working and getting hand outs and then had the nerve to tell me she owned her own house. I politely pointed out to her that all the tax payers in New Zealand owned it.

Fuck's sake Drew - welcome to reality.

I was alluding that I do in fact have a conscience. How am I being intolerant?

[Katman]

How am I being intolerant?

I'm just going to leave that there until you figure out just how the fuck you're being intolerant.

[Drew]

I'm just going to leave that there until you figure out just how the fuck you're being intolerant.

But, I tolerate them. I do nothing at all about their situation. That's the very height of tolerance.

[Katman]

But, I tolerate them.

To their face?

'Cos it doesn't sound like you tolerate them here behind their backs.

I'm getting more a sense of unacceptance.
