  1. Well I think up a plan,and I pick up a can,

    then hit a big, pink pick up van

    with a tag on every panel,

    creating eyesores and hated by the public,

    But if you could draw what I draw, and paint it, you'd love it

    But fuck it, they're sposed to make the grade,

    So they shrug it off and concentrate on gettin paid and laid.

    But when the truck gets sprayed,

    I get the fuck away,

    What you see is what you say,

    My M. O. SLAY!

    And you wish you could,

    swing your fists in my hood,

    but you couldn't beat me cos I beef so good

    And besides, you don't even know my name,

    If I walked past you and said "Hi", you'd probably wave,

    After dark I operate with precision reflexes,

    I'm driven by perplexing intense dream projections,

    through my senses,

    Transcending into excellence reflected in a sentence in a effort for the essence,

    My intelligence stretches past the best french sketches,

    Lecturers bet my guesses cos they're checking the freshest,

    I'm better than devilled eggs and pepper for breakfast,

    The message intended,

    You're never gonna get this.

    I'm deeper than the hole from which you crawled out,

    To even the score now, no more holding out,

    When you all have settled down and sold out,

    I'll still be puttin up and gettin down and spittin sounds from my mouth!

    Not my rap, but I wrote the music for it...

  2. what is your duration of visit and general location and so forth and so on. if you are gone two weeks from now maybe we can schedule a super badass interim meet. we'll park in a circle and banter from the comfort of air conditioned cabs.

     

    Back to Nam on the 28th. In the upper Mt Gravatt area.


  3. The price you were quoted was far too expensive...

    A 50L an hr spinning head with stake and spaghetti line shouldn't cost over $4..

    On a commercial farm, I go around maybe every few months, to check for clogged heads.. With a piece of wire, maybe 2 or 3mm.. I can clean one in about 10 secs.. We have nearly 4000 sprinklers...

    But, as Sallyd said, it might be a pain in the arse...

    Also a pressure pump with an accumulator is a good idea...

  4. Did they impose any theology onto you ?

     

    Only in subtle ways... Like, a worker would try and get a convo started...

    They employed quite a lot of non sda's. they know they couldn't get away with employing only sda's.. Discrimination etc.

    Funny too... All the guys with jobs of high responsibility were non sda. (Cooks, make operators, qa. Dispatch)


  5. Sethomopod, your statements are a little more grounded in reality. But you still seem completely oblivious to the reality of the underlining situation surrounding people that (for whatever reason) have got themselves stuck in the endless cycle of the welfare system and why our welfare system constantly needs to be scrutinised and made more efficient.

    Firstly, a person on welfare is hardly living any kind of privileged life. Once you have paid your bills and rent, you can barely afford to feed yourself.

    People in this kind of situation are well in there rights, to demand they are given better opportunities to have some kind of chance to get out of the cycle of poverty and welfare, so they can have some kind of chance to hopefully obtain a better quality of life, which most other Australians are privileged with.

    Your argument of how the under privileged people of Australia should just be happy with what they have, because people in other countries have it worse is also flawed. Since the healthcare and the welfare system, is one of the fundamental factors that make this country so much more privileged in the first place.

     

    I am certainly not oblivious, hence my not taking your bait about cutting your dole... I believe you worded it as such that if I said yes, your dole should be cut, you would come back with mental health issues or young children... Aside from the fact that I wouldn't have said such a thing based on the information presented.

    Not once have I said there should be no benefits... What I have said is that is it sad to hear people COMPLAIN about receiving free money.. Simple...

    Again, I never said people on the dole live a privileged life, but they should certainly be grateful for the fact that they can receive the dole at all!

    My argument IS that our country is more privileged.. And it is that privilege, that makes me wanna puke when I hear people complain about the system that feeds them...

    I don't say you shouldn't receive benefits BECAUSE other countries have it worse...just that they do, and in comparison, hearing someone complain about how difficult it is to get free money, is like hearing a morbidly obese person complain that the seats in planes a too small... I say again, I am highlighting first world problems...

    I agree with what allot of people are saying here... I do feel privileged to live in a country/s where things like the benefit are available to myself and others. I was really just having a whinge and feeling hard done by.

    all in all, yes I do have it sweet...

     

    Not that my opinion means much, but that's all I needed to hear.... That's the difference... Acknowledging we are VERY lucky..

    I don't think your whinging fydesvindico, its a disgrace how centrelink treat students even in Australia, the very people that are the future of our nation. So it would be far harder over ther in NZ, even just considering how expensive it is over there just live.

    Btw, (re job offer),I know it was probably a joke, but I love fruit picking, its what I’ve mostly been doing for a bit of cash the last few years. Go in and work like a dog, then walk away a few months later, no obligations, no BS work place politics. I love it!

    Next year then if you need a bit of work at the time.

     

    Yeah i agree that its selfish to complain about recieving 'free money'

    I wonder how many people who found themselves unemployed and genuinely incapable of finding work, would reject the opportunity to recieve a benefit and instead choose to let their family go hungry, loose their home and spiral into a labrynth of despair, depression and hopelessness because such assistance is not available in other countries.

     

    Are we on the same page? I'm not sure, as what I read from that, is that you are under the impression that I believe people should turn down benefits because people in other countries don't get them...like some sort of moralistic self sacrifice?

    I'm sorry, I must have worded something incorrectly, because I have no idea what you are talking about...

    Nobody should turn down benefits, just be grateful you live in a country where you can receive any type of benefit at all...


  6. Seth, can you please offer Jabez a job at the mango farm, he needs workplace experience (and, removal from Australia). That we can restore this lucky country to a safe place to bring up everyone's subsidised children - of whom you can also have at age six for the farm.

     

    Lol...

    Jabez, I can offer you just under a months work if you like.... In Townsville... Work hard and you can clear a couple of grand a week...

    Other than that, I would like to invite you to my business in Vietnam, I believe if you are made aware of what little people have in other countries, your view may change


  7. No mate, your lucky! Taxpayers don’t support the unemployed. They pay are price to live in a reasonably safe and healthy society.

    Maybe you think I should have my dole payments taken off me, if I can’t manage to get my shit together and get a job? Fair enough. But just remember, then maybe it will be your house I’ll be robbing in order to feed myself.

     

    Safe and healthy? Are you serious? Australian society is far from healthy.. And people who actually complain about how hard it is to receive FREE money are a fine example of just how unhealthy we are... The sense of entitlement..

    In a healthy society, everyone WANTS to work for the benefit of the whole..

    Let me be clear, your question of whether I would want to see your dole cut is bait.. I don't know your situation. But I do know you should be grateful for your dole payments... Not whinge, bitch and moan about how hard it is to qualify to receive them.

    As I have said before, all I am doing is highlighting first world problems...

    How am I the lucky one? Would love to hear that....

    Are you saying that if taxpayers didn't foot YOUR bills, you would steal from said taxpayers? You say they pay a price for safety?

    What I read is "pay my bills or I will rob you" that's blackmail mate... You are only proving my point by undermining yours.

    I think it quaint that you say either dole payments or robbery... No middle ground at all.. How about a job?

    Personally, I would rather work a shit job than be a thief....
