I never said anything about charities...I was talking those that got the dole and sat around on their fat butts drinking beer and watching television all day.
as for working for charity...so do I...Queensland Coast Guard....IS NOT funded by the Government so relies on donations and funds raised by its members.....no big deal working for charity really
Do those on the dole pay taxes....only the GST or VAT....they should be made pay income taxes like the ordinary person who works for their money...make them appreciate the value of their dollar/pound more.
Artful Dodger: I had to laugh at Obama this morning on TV...we dont have a problem now but we will by Tuesday....what an idiot...TUESDAY, what the hell is the diff between now and then....what a difference a day makes they say, but Im thinking the USA is going to need a lot more than a couple days. If they keep raising the bar on the national debt ???.......see that splat on the wall?...it has already started "hitting the fan"
Looks as tho the Brits are in all sorts of poo with their Govt. looking as tho they are one and all corrupt...starting at the top. But I did hear that the tea Lady is exempt hahahaha
Artful Dodger: now aint that the troof.......the american dollar is at its lowest at the moment that we have ever known....fine if we want to buy anything but bad for americans....and if you lose your triple "A" rating that is the most disastrous thing that could ever happen to your financial situations.....
Artful Dodger: he is a TWIT...how can you have someone in charge of a country like the US ofA that is so obviously incompetant....don't you feel glad AD that you didn't vote him in?
AND NOW HE'S HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM THE GOVERNMENT WHO ARE GOING TO CREATE EVEN MORE JOBS OVERSEAS WITH A CARBON TAX DESIGNED TO DESTROY EVEN MORE AUSTRALIAN JOBS BECAUSE ITS IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST
Mélusine: we have solar energy but now the Gove. isnt prepared to pau us for the energy/power overload that we are able to produce, so it isnt much good...we pay thousands to get the solar panels installed with all sorts of promises being made and this is what happens.
We are a big cane growing area and they use the rubbish to make ethanol? I think that is what it is called for using in our cars...it is cheap but I dont know how the cars are running on it. we Have something called Baggasse that is currently used for bio fuel and the making of paper etc.
why would Blair and Brown get invites to the wedding? They are nobodies, commoners, untitled, did nothing spectacular in life. At least Maggie has a title but then she was too sick to go. Did you get an invite?.....I rest my case.
Artful Dodger: well as they are saying "Bin Laden may be dead, but El Qaeda is not" the fighting will go on and on ad infinitum. and anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.
题目: Re: So in your own words please, explain the logic behind Obamas reluctance to not appear to be hiding anything?
Iamon lyme: the figure I gave you was the cost of security for the wedding....well ONE of the costs that have been floating around the net anyway.
England is in such a bad economic position they needed something to try and boost that fact....the wedding appears to have been it, but it will be shortlived and "back to the poverty line" they will go.
