simplicity

a lot of people like to complain about a variety of individual which they call the dole-bludger. such complaints i’ve heard are along these lines: “why should i pay them to sit on their arses” “how come they’re so lazy?” “i’ve got two jobs and they’re too useless to get one?” well…. why should taxpayers pay? this is why.
people need three things to live. food water shelter. once upon a time, people could provide those basis necessities for themselves. nothing was required but a sharp piece of rock, and a river at a convenient distance from the cave one lived in. then governments were invented, claimed ownership of said resources, and began to charge everybody else for their use. that’s why we pay benefits folks; if we don’t, it’s what you call a human rights violation.

home where the heart is

today, i heard an idiot solemnly declare that we officially have an unacceptable number of homeless people in New Zealand, and are officially in an official state of crisis. suddenly there are 40, 000 people, mostly students, teenagers, the other young people, and everybody else who is declared by officialdom to be officially “poor”, who are forced to settle for caravans, garages and sheds, because they simply cannot expect anything better. much obliged, mr idiot, i’ve been waiting my whole life for somebody to limit my expectations for me….. my caravan would kick your mansions arse because it’s about taking what you have and making it amazing.

textbook idiot

so i’m watching t.v. i don’t know what show is on but four well-dressed individuals are sitting around a table debating something that sounds vaguely intellectual. an idiot just said to this smart pretty woman: “we might never know the answer, but it would be good if we did.” next time, reply with a quick jab to the nuts rational lady.
