as those who use their right hands.
Suseonline,
And I believe most academics are leaning towards the left so they'd be using their left hand as well.

the whole abortion debate was used by the regressives to argue the case for the poor 15 year old girl who was raped. Now we have approx. 100000 per year mainly because of convenience. Killing the elderly will be no different. The emotive odd example is being used to justify killing. Already their will be people lining up for their inheritance. Just like killing the unborn, some pseudo science from the likes of Nitschke and his supporters will ease or sear their conscience although I suspect it is already past that for many of them.

Individual:
It's really is none of your business, but, I owned three houses, one completely; others in partnership with the banks.
I have owned and operated three businesses.
Two very successfully, and one not so much.
I had my industry super, which paid me 85% of a former wage, which was indexed to, and at twice the male average.
All that meant a fairly comfortable life; and indeed, conferred on me the ability to buy a very modest basic house for then, burnt out uninsured homeless parents.
Then came the worst drought in living memory, coupled to the recession we had to have, and an entirely unexpected divorce!
Needless to say all these things combined to strip away personal wealth; as did an expensive eight year court battle, that was only partially successful!
I just don't know where I'd be if I'd lost.
And given I was entitled to a disability pension, and given it was not counted as taxable income; I applied for and accepted that.
But only when when the super ran out!
That disability support is the only support, repeat only support, I ever asked of the taxpayer.
And given when I was one, I paid up to 68 cents in the dollar; I have trouble believing I owe anything to any other current taxpayer.
But even more particularly, when I consider my taxes and those of the rest of my family, parents, grand parents, and indeed, all my Australian forbears.
Who can be traced right back to the second fleet, and who's much higher taxes, bought and paid all our cash cow essential service, a bank, a telco, an airline etc/etc.
All of which were then earning extremely healthy income, and which if retained in public ownership, would have paid for far more generous pensions etc!
I hope this satisfies your seemingly insatiable appetite to demand to know, or rummage around/trespass very offensively in other people's business, and suggest you mind your own dam business in future!

Well, if falling into a coma, and awakening able to speak perfectly fluent mandarin, arguably the most difficult to learn as a second language, is not concrete evidence of an actual past life somewhere in down town China.
What other possible credible explanation is there!?
It is surely, almost irrefutable evidence of both reincarnation/past lives and the prospect of, [so as you sow so also shall you reap,] karma as an actual truth.
And no, I don't force my views on anyone, just present the now entirely irrefutable evidence! [And doing so only creates good karma!]
None of which enables a tooth fairy, a real Santa Claus or favorite fable.
The brain in a truly marvelous instrument indeed, but to suggest it can completely teach itself mandarin, while completely deeply unconscious, stretches credibility past the point of no return.
What comes next for those who think that the possibility of reincarnation or if you will recycled spirit beings is impossible?
A shoot the messenger campaign?
Literally billions of people, some from faiths or philosophizes far older than Christianity, believe in literal reincarnation, as did the early esoteric Christians, before they were "reeducated", by the "political system" their faith eventually became!
I can remember a time where Chinese Medicine was also looked at as pure unadulterated quackery; by those arrogant enough to believe the were the repositories, (suppositories) of all knowledge and wisdom!
Ditto meditation, which some medieval belief systems labeled the work of Satan!
And then only because it allowed the practitioners, to see through the politics/theatre, you will believe or else, that the then middle aged, hugely revised religions had become!
Think about reincarnation and karma for a while; as possibly real, and then see, just how perfectly it explains a world at war with itself, and all the poverty and misery that currently goes with it!
If only to understand, it is the only possible explanation that actually makes sense; and indeed, incorporates perfect justice.
Those now committing unspeakable crimes/euthanase in the name of Allah, have yet to experience his, perfect justice!

Rhrosty,
I agree with you that it is none of my business to pry into your business. After this explanation I sympathise with you because I also have lost a lot through no fault of mine.
My reason for hanging on like a pitbull terrier was that I was forming a general opinon of you from your past posts which gave me the impression of you as being one of those who grab every entitlement no matter if needed or not. Your reply makes me feel I formed the wrong opinion, I appologise & I hope things will improve. All the best.

With respect, maybe do some checking of the source/s. For without any doubt there are journalist hacks who wake up every day to report complete B.S.
