ok fuckface,
first: how is it that buying 200million dollar planes to drop hundreds of 80k bombs halfway across the world never questioned but feeding the poor in our nation is seen as an unforgivable sin

second: the current newstart is not survivable, due to a fuckup on the dhs side i was not granted disability (fortunately since rectified) and actually ended up with serious health issues from long term malnutrition because i could not afford an even remotely balanced diet, my skin was yellow and i would bruise from sitting on unpadded chair or when i would see my parents (who could thankfully afford to throw a few tins of food my way) and the dog jumped up to see me it would bruise my legs. The only saving grace is that i got really good at shoplifting. so how dare you suggest that its cushy.

third: lets look at what happens when my parents get their tax return vs me and my dole money
parents: savings or towards the already overheated housing market
me:vegetables and rice from the local market.
i dont have a fancy econ degree but i understand economics enough to see which one is better for the economy

fourth: even disability payment is not enough, for example i cant afford the only medication that works for me so i buy weed instead. (80 buckos a month instead of 280~). any issue i have with my car it takes me a few months to recover and god help me if something else springs up in the mean time.

fifth: money put into the hands of the underclass is usually spent immediately due to various psychological reasons.

six: the idea that people on newstart for long periods of time are somehow lazy or like being on newstart is straight up bullshit and echoes the dogwhistle terms used in the united states (welfare queen)

seven: PEOPLE DESERVE SOME LEVEL OF DIGNITY YOU loving oval office.

E: im sure you arent an awful person in real life but try a fun experiment: put everything but the newstart allowance into savings and see how long you last without health issues.

I should get back into it.

Blaming pornography for the sexualisation of children is to ignore almost the entirety of the main stream media and advertisers since the fifties. The online component of images via phones is certainly a new pressure point but boys have been bullying girls into sex acts since forever.

Would have been nice if the article actually touched on any of the above.

which i think is weird because we are totally the bitch of the usa. if i was el presidente of australia after a coup i would pull out of the f35 program and hopefully lockheed martin would send some coke and hookers to the us gov to change their mind about the f22 because lol mic. if this didnt work i'd buy some f15s or rafales. the gripen is the coolest plane but single engined planes are pants on head retarded for a country like australia.

The insincere pronouncements of white guilt are a camouflaged expression of white racial identity, while the lack of context or argumentative logic is a product of Gen Y's internet-induced autism.

I am white, I am thoughtful, I am good, anyone share this identity?
