Dang and dagnabbit! They are after the 'social equity', are they?

A fiendish plot that could derail the gravy train.

The real Australians don't complain as much as the pretend ones. Surely that counts for something ?

Indeed it does, individual, it does.

Complacency springs to mind as does selfishness.

Lots of Australians complain about the lack of jobs, especially when it affects them, but I see people that I have heard lamenting the lack of jobs going through the Self Serve Checkout at Woolworths and/or Coles.

Don't usually use it myself as I prefer that an employee of the company serves me. I'm making work for someone.
If I'm in a hurry and have to use the Self Serve I get the attendant to put my stuff through.

Poirot,

It is not just about government - it is about our whole society.

By taking the attitude many in Australia do at present - that everything is so negative - what these people are doing is sending a message to younger and future generations and that people cannot make a difference.

So many in Australia simply want to either blame government, or do nothing themselves. It is not a good move for Australia's future. One year I organised a going away party for my sister's family. I was told at the finish by my parents. "Thank you for putting this on."

It's not about simply accepting every government policy - I agree. I don't however, want to constantly hear about the failings of John Howard, Julia Gillard or the current government or be given a skewed message on a certain topic and how this will ruin parts of our society.

Positive family and community leadership is also an option and can also be a good way to go! Sit down and think about your options - very balanced but also very positively.

Cynical politicians with their class and gender wars instead of constructive policies don't help. What about leaders who foment foul intergenerational jealousy as a cover for their own lack of planning and poor policies?

Nor do the media help with those trivial, superficial 'Ain't it Awful' medial-made stories in lieu of real news, investigative journalism and insightful articles. It is all tabloid stuff, a rush to the gutter.

The culture has changed a lot since Whitlam legitimised complaining and begging, and laid the rails for the victim industry gravy train, with the 'multi-cults' finding seating room as well. When you think about it, there is a ship load of entitled persons as baggage for the ordinary worker to carry and support.

The culture has changed. Looking over a neighbour's back fence, complaining and interfering are common, as is envy. It is not so long ago that such jealous, interfering busybodies were criticised themselves for being the nuisances they are.
