Paul you are a sick fool.

You are too stupid to even be able to see that many of us had it pretty tough as youngsters, through no ones fault, but circumstances.

Just for you, kids like me wore seconds hand, & home made clothes, because of the life our parents had copped.

My father was a young partner in a small company when the depression hit. He lost everything when the depression started, & spent 2 years ringbarking trees, & clearing farm land by hand for 10 bob, [$1.00 to you], a week & keep.

He was just back on his feat, married with a young child when WW11 hit. Just on 5 years later he came out of the air force with 10 quid, [$20.00 to you], & a very cheap civy suit. So at 37 years of age, he restarted his life with that 10 quid, a wife with a young child a cheap suit, & stuff all else.

Nothing special there, he was one of hundreds of thousands, but we were dirt poor, a damn site poorer than any kid is today with our welfare system.

We weren't homeless only because we saved every penny, bought a cheap block of land, & built a dirt floor tin shed, out of flattened out kerosene tins. Nothing too special there either, we were one of dozens doing the same thing on the outskirts of Bathurst, & probably most other towns.

I suggest you try to grow up a bit, learn a few facts & keep your fool mouth shut, until you do. Sling off at those who have worked their back sides off to get somewhere is not a very good look, even for a damn fool.

Paul you are a sick fool.
Hasbeen,
I don't think he has the mentality to understand the meaning !

Hey Paul1405,
"I'll say some on here have lost 95% of their ability to think."
- Well if you want to say that;
- Then I'll say this:

Do you actually know and understand what capitalism is?
Do you and all the homeless people actually understand how our society works?
- I know schools pretty crap and they don't teach kids the right stuff -
(an entirely different discussion)

But do you understand this? :

You have the right to choose whatever life you want;
But you have to live with the consequences of your choices;
Is this some magical principle that has somehow evaded you and all these other people all your lives?

You were born free and not into slavery or servitude.
Your mum was given support to raise you if your father wasnt around.
You were given acces to schooling so you could learn and choose a better future for yourself and your own family.
You were given access to medical treatment if you were sick.
You was allowed to choose who you wanted to marry yourself.
You were given access to a job market with many types of employment;
- And a system of rumeration where you could get paid more if you worked harder or had certain skills;
Alternatively you could open your own business enabling you to earn more than a weekly wage.

You were given every freedom to choose the life you wanted for yourself;
- But part of that deal;

Part of that contract;
Was that YOU have to live with the consequences of your own choices.

[Cont.]

Also I have to make a 'You can't have your bloody cake and eat it too' remark:

That is you promote all the refugees and migrants.
You can't promote such immigration and then whinge about a housing problem that you essentially created yourself by pouring all the new people into the country.

How many homeless people are staying at your place tonight?

And which part of all this is semi-deliberate anyway;
That they are deliberately creating housing demand to inflate and hold up the housing market?

And as for compassion, don't make out I'm heartless towards people.
There's a scale, where people who suffer hardship due to things completely beyond their control get a larger chunk of my compassion than the people who create their own problems and fail to make good choices for themselves get little compassion and have themselves to blame.

Is it my fault people can't manage their own finances well?
Is it my fault people chose to live week to week and never save anything for a rainy day?
Is it my fault people got into poor relationships or didn't get skills or want to work and build a future and a life for themselves?
Whose fault is that?

My advice to the homeless is to move North until the weather is such that winters are not really cold and a bonus is that where it is warmer you don't need as much clothing or food.

How to get there, push bikes are cheap second hand from the Op-Shops as are boots if you decide to walk or you can always take a chance and jump the rattler.

So if we read the insults aimed at Paul my efforts to reduce my sharp rude replies are not needed
Being rude to those we do not agree with is ok here
While we differ on the value of the greens it is my opinion Paul is showing much more care and concern for those in need than some
Would like to point out a truth, while our age did not have ideal starts we did live in a time you could get a job within a day
