OK...
I've about fucking had it with the damn government "assistance." It's about as helpful as a kick in the crotch, it's designed to keep you on it, and what's more if you every begin to make enough to possibly get off it at some point they take it off you and you're living just like you were before. Welfare isn't designed to help people, it's designed to keep them there.
Get this. My mother and I will be moving house soon and into a rental property, she and I will soon be needing additional money in addition to the measly $270 a week that we get for the two of us. Which will have to go on food, bills, travel expenses rent and bond etc. and guess what? With rent assistance, the most she can hope to get is $95.40 that would be if she was paying all the rent. Fuckin' great ay? Sure government assistance is fine, so long as it's just a suppliment and not your sole source of income. You see, because I'm still living with my mother I don't qualify for rent assistance, and because I'm a full time student I don't qwualify for another type of payment
FUCK!
There is no font size large enough to express the rage I feel, no emoticon dark enough to extemporise all the bile I could hock all over every teir of government, right down to the ceterlink shits who look down their nose at you and get a two fucking hour lunch break with the money I earned with begging for a job for over two years!
What am I supposed to do? Move out of home and be even worse off? How the hell am I supposed to set up this phone business then? and I'd sooner hop into a tree mulcher feet first than live with my father.
So here's the plan. My mother's house settlement is not going to go into the retirement package and savings trust as was first planned (if we can still prevent it from going through) and we will just have to live of the $134, 000 until such time as we can get settled. And sure, you may think: 'well if you've got 1340,000 trollax why are you complaining?'
I'll tell you why....
I see them everywhere, thuddites and their fucking contrtollers. They pester me for my train ticket, scrutinise it ask me dumb questions, look at me like I'm a theif just because I've got a set of headphones in my ears. I'm continually poked and prodded, told what I can and can't do, whether it's legal or not. I'm tired of this shit, Five years from now I'm fucking moving somewhere with high income returns and low taxes. They take away a criminal percentage of your wages just so they can work out more ways of screwing you, the sole aim of the tax office is to work out just how muchg money they can take off you in order for you to still live as a reasonably comfortable consumer. What if you want something better? There's no real way to get ahead other than thinking outsiode the box, outmsmarting them, doing things with a dubious legality... you shouldn't have to, but that's the way it is, it allows the rich to get richer by doing things that we less well off folk can't afford to get away with.
Hell... cleaning pools at a Fiji Resort does sound better than this actually
FUCK YEAH!

You want some sugar in that koolaid? It ain't the boomers in general that have fucked social security...it's the legislature, and the last 4 republican presidents that have used it as a fucking slush fund for every screwhead pork barrel they could think of.
It ain't the boomers, it's just plain old THEFT.

This is the correct answer.
Having that Dickwad costello as next in line is keeping the fucktard in power! I'm telling you, if there was anyone in that tribe of corporate asslickers that laughily refer to themselves as "liberals" who was even capable of arranging thewir braincells to have the thought of "Let's challenge little johnny for the hotseat" They'd never do it because everyone's shit scared of the smnarmy git with the bad toupe.
And the unionismt mob who masquerade as the labour party? Hah! A bunch of fucking bottom-feeders who don't know when it's politically sound to speak out or even what to say to hurt the government's popularity. The bastard is buying votres with a one-off welfare payment dammit! Can't they see that!?!?!?!
And they're passing laws banning gay marriage now? What right has government to interfere with people's sexual preferences? Excuse me, I guess I've got to go get my local MP's Brown shirts back from the cleaners. Sieg Hail! I mean... Advance australia fair...

Quote from: Zombie¬?Davey Jones Locker represent! (EX: PowerPad.)
For some reason the name Power Pad makes me think of sanitary towels for cunt blood before video games.
You know, I sent a pad to your house last summer, I wonder if it ever got there. I didn't use an envelope, I just wrote Mrs Hamilton & your address on it, so it is possible that the post people thought it was a little weird and threw it away.
A shame, really, I even glued a dinasaur sticker on it and made it say Roaarrr.
I honestly have no idea, we've gotten packages from weird places.
Hamilton gets mail from scandinavia once in a while.
Incidentally it was called the power pad after a nintendo power-pad that was hanging up in the entry way, when the last room-mate who lived here moved out he stuffed it in the toilet in our backyard and lit it on fire. It burned for two hours and shattered the toilet into cinders.
A toilet in the backyard? That sounds pretty cool. And burning stuff is also awesome.
But yeo, the amount of Jesus thorn crowns, children's books, porn & other random stuff Orias has received from me is absolutely ridiculous. I'm sure he has thrown most (if not all) of it away by now, though.
I dont recall ever seeing anything of the sort laying about the house, or his room, so its probably been trashed. I remember he once got a box of condoms from someone in iceland.
Ha! The man must have a rather large collection of condoms then, I've sent him some too. He seems to attract rather strange people.
I don't think he even receives most of the things I send, are they really careful in the customs or post there? Or do you just have weird roommates who eat Russian coins?
I'm heading out to a party now, I'll drop a post card to you & him on the way. Expect to find a nerd trivia question from your mail box next week.
I'll expect that. I think he probably just doesnt talk about most of the stuff. Occasionally I see random mail from places, and I give it to him, and thats the end of it.
The condoms might not have been from iceland, Finland maybe? I think thats right. I dont remember things.
Incidentally, we have a touring band from new orleans passed out in the living room and I went on a roadtrip to visit my highschool latin teacher.
Latin is fun. My Latin teacher has been dead for years... he wrote my favourite grammar book in the early 1930s. Later I found out the same man had also been my English teacher's professor.
Could you let me know when you receive the card? The answer to the question in it is obvious, but I'd still like to hear it from you.
It's a terrible thing... ugly as hell and published by the Union of Kindergarteners. My sense of humour is terrible.
I took it from an anti Racism seminar a couple years ago. The speeches were interesting, but I fell asleep several times. That is something I do way too often, I bet it doesn't feel very nice to see your audience sleep.
I can't help it, I guess I'm a little narcoleptic sometimes. I've been known to be found sleeping naked on the bathroom floor, not having quite made it to shower.

The Jolly Roger was only one of the dozens of pirate flags flown; there were also several variations on the Jolly Roger. "Pirate flag" is actually a more accurate description.
There's an apartment near wickham sation that has the jolly roger flying upside-down from a flagpole. that was w00t

'Cause I felt like it! :twisted: :P
what's so jolly 'bout a roger?
in a related note, jolly roger was the skull and cross bones.
there was also the skull and scimitars, skull and sabres, skull alone,
skelleton, three skulls, a hanged man and a skull with crossed
tampons instead of swords (renegade female pirates...)
pretty much, a pirate flag was a black flag. that's what made it a
pirate flag. it had to be black. why? because the black flag in and of itself
is the flag of defiance, of non-allegiance (anyone else catch that subtle
irony?)
what was on the flag itself was just a signature, pretty much. a pirate's
harold or tartan or coat of arms, etc...all cows are cows, but the branding
on the cow just let's you know who owns it.
everyone had an icon, a sig, a symbol, a brand, a trademark or some
other such means of leaving an identifying mark.
my personal black flag has a chaos cross on it with a cube at the
centre of the cross, the golden spiral inside the golden rectangles to the
left (spiraling out the 13), and my zen name in a bastardized, simplified
hieroglyfic alphabet to the right.
for alli care though, your 'pirate flag' could have a duche and cross tubes
on it. doesn't matter. what matters is that it's your black flag.
