They're not really that poor : Comments

By Peter Saunders, published 1/11/2007

The welfare lobby persists in producing wildly exaggerated and misleading reports about the size of our poverty problem.

Hi huffnpuff

A merry Xmas and a happy new year to you, Michael, and to all those Forgotten Australian who had to suffer joyless Xmases in institutions.

I wouldn’t take too much time worrying about people like Col Rouge. He is the sort of person who would have enjoyed watching incarcerated children being ill-treated so that in later life they could tell them to ‘get over it’.

From what he tells us, I think he’s probably a deeply unhappy person and it makes him feel better when he can tell other people to get over their tragic lives

FrankGol “other people to get over their tragic lives”

That Freudian slip of a statement discloses the real “FrankGol”

It illustrates exactly where your real thoughts lay, Frank.

Huffnpuff – Frank think you have a “tragic life”.

I don’t.

I think you have experienced “tragedy” in your life, just like me and most of the rest of the world.

Like making mistakes, “we grow through adversity”.

The “tragic” life is the life unlived, the life suppressed by conforming to social convention or political despotism. The sort of life the socialists would lead us to.

If I could give huffnpuff an xmas gift it would be for him to be able to cast of his burden of anger with the wrongs of the past and live that life he has to his full potential.

Your “life” is what you make it huffnpuff, not what some abuser did to you as a kid.

It is not “tragic”.

It can be great and glorious and boundless as you care to make it but I leave it to you to decide.

Oh and Frank, me “deeply unhappy”…. Ha ha … please don’t go into counseling, your ability to misread people ensures you would not help anyone.

Col Rouge tells me that my 'ability to misread people ensures you would not help anyone.'

Mind you, he's just posted this, claiming that I wrote it:

'FrankGol “other people to get over their tragic lives”' when what I actually wrote was:
'...it makes him [Col Rouge] feel better when he can tell other people to get over their tragic lives.'

I'll take full responsibility if I am mistaken in how I interpret you, Col.

Will you take any responsibility for deliberately distorting what I say?

No I thought not.

Daggett, a Merry Xmas and a Happy New year to you. And to all OLO posters.
