And I certainly wasn't talking about you when I was talking about peoples possibly being hypocritical...
:-)
> I meant that I don't see where the world owes a living to anyone who *chooses* not to work.
Ah. There it is again ;-)
> You - with going to school and all - qualify as hard working to me. And I do think that a country owes it's people the best education possible.
Ah. But you see the academic year finishes up in October and doesn't get underway until March. So... What to do in between? Technically... I suppose one is meant to get a job... What do I do? I go on the dole. So... I choose to not work over the summer. I choose to go on welfare. I am supposed to be 'actively seeking work' but I'll fully admit that it is not for nothing that I am sure to classify myself as a disabled general labourer ;-)
> Now if I could teach you how to budget.....Hmm. I'm getting more on scholarship now than I've ever seen :-)
I think I should be saving 'cause I might be able to get to the US for a year...
But... Australasia has a binge drinking culture ;-)
