    With all the lies that we get told out of all governments these days who knows what to believe. There was a report earlier that was taken down that US West Coast readings were up to ten times normal. Then a report that the EPA radiation meters were down(now apparently working) and a retraction of the story in my first link. Who knows what to believe any more. Even I could be a sock puppet. I loved sock puppets when I was young. Isn't it awful how words change from denoting nice things to nasty.

    The worst part about responding to someone who speaks boilerspeak or a close approximation is now you have to wonder if the person you are responding to even exists and isn't just some straw fucking software puppet. I bet we have people posting on slashdot that even helped put the software together to derail the conversations. It's a wonderful world.

    You must know by now there is no point in attempting to bring any sort of clarity to a discussion with most of the Seppo race. All you will get is their version of what you said, words put in your mouth, and most likely called names they don't even understand. Whoops my bad I didn't realise you were a snob.

  17. Re:It's Big Pharna on Meth Dealer Faces Loss of His Comic Book Collection · · Score: 1

    You have it backwards heroin is used for the crack crash and not the other way around. Anyone who claims to have an opiate addiction that uses crack to deal with withdrawal doesn't have a habit and is kidding themself. You are aware that there is no crash after using heroin right? Unless you have a habit and then it is called withdrawal which isn't any form of crash and is only made to feel a hundred times worse by the use of any stimulant. You are aware that physically addicted opiate users consider meth/crack to be 'a shot of hanging out'(unless it is being used at the same time as an opiate high then it is a different kettle of fish) and call it such. As for dealers befriending the unemployed to get them hooked do you have any idea how long it takes to make a real habit? and how little money the unemployed actually have? They don't need to manufacture addicts to be in business as there are plenty of self made addicts to go around. Getting a physical addiction to any drug actually takes quite a bit of work and no dealer would be bothered spending hundreds/thousands of dollars and weeks/months of their time creating business when there are so many walk up customers to service.
    The only thing you got right is that it should be treated as a medical problem and not criminal. We have common ground there. I speak from over thirty years experience with drug addicts and assure you any naivety about the role of the dealer is coming from your side of the aisle and not mine.

    And the main goal of the dealer is to get the buyer hooked.

    And they are always hanging around in parks right near primary schools. Often they put Heroin in Sherbet Fountains and show the kiddies how to sharpen the licorice sticks using Sponge Bob's a druggie pencil sharpeners. No one forces anyone to smoke, sniff, and/or inject anything. The drug user makes a concious decision to put whatever substance they want into their body. No one is forcing them to do it. A drug dealer meets a demand just like a prohibition era alcohol salesman's goal was to get the buyer hooked. Or, is that argument not applicable here as alcohol prohibition was silly and drugs are evil?

    My God that's what's wrong with people from the West (and I am from the West). they think that $400 per week (with extras) is degrading and subsistence. I guess if subsistence is driving a 5 year old BMW and living in Neutral Bay it may be. I guarantee that there are a lot of people out there who don't want to work, have never worked, and will never have a job vefore they hit retirement age that are living very non-subsistence lives.
    You are a little too sensitive(are you a Beta). I I wasn't attacking the unemployed, disabled, or others. I was making a simple statement. When I did my tertiary studies I lived in what a lot of people would have called a shithole of disadvantage. I moved to the shithole from a very upmarket area in Sydney and I made a discovery that has shaped my life. The people from the shithole are actual real mostly nice and kind people while those who seem to have it all are a bunch of pretentious wankers.
    I suspect you wouldn't know what humiliation, degradation, and especially not what a subsistence lifestyle really is. Maybe try living in Somalia then talk about subsistence. Suffering is not having to chose the Coles brand Corn Flakes over the Kelloggs or was your personal sufferring that Mum kept yelling at you to get a job?

    Luck of birth and comfort is pretty much guaranteed in some Western countries.
    If you are 16 or over, unemployed and looking for a job you will receive around $760AU per fortnight to help you meet the costs of living. If you can show rent receipts then you will receive an increase in your fortnightly payment to help cover your rent. If just want to party your arse off for the weekend you can apply online to receive up to $1027 of this money in advance(paid back out of your next 13 cheques) and it will be paid into your account usually within 48 hours.
    If you are a wife-beater you can apply for a special payment of $200 paid pretty much immediately(debit card) so you have the funds to relocate.
    I am always surprised when I hear some one ask why refugees try so hard to get to Australia. Bloody hell I know people from the USA that would love those sort of financial guarantees.

    PS: If you go on the dole when you are 18 you can only stay on it for around 48 years because that's when the old age pension kicks in. Surf is up, dudes.
