I lied, the 'almost' was too optimistic >:(

Fucking annoyed >:( my online banking service is unavailible, probably some IT fuckwits or managers want the lastedt version of software, I fucking hate IT and Managers in any context >:(  But seriously do this shit when banches are open (so I can swear at someone in person,  I have no debt so banks should be my bitch;)), or maybe even have the phone banking on a freephone number or free for cellphone not fucking 0845 when their employees are fucktards who take ages to understand what you are shouting at them >:( >:( >:(

Apart from that still fucking annoyed, but for personal and physical reasons 8)

Perhaps they wouldn't spawn in the first place if they knew the taxpayer wouldn't pick up the tab?...

Perhaps they would.  Large families are feature of extreme poverty.  Perhaps they'd mug and stab someone instead or sell heroine and crack to get food for their kids.  Perhaps they'd go on the game and spread AIDs.

All the countries that follow the hardline approach are the countries with the worst social ills.

The problem with your thinking is you never imagine there will be any consequences.

Punishing the kids for the fecklessness of their parents is no mark of a decent society.  No one chooses their parents.

It's unlikely but I'll give it a try.




I reckon that's the famous 'floating' mosque at Melaka, Malysia.

It's on a man-made island called Pulau Melaka.

Edit: Whoops. Beaten to it. >:(

I think that might be The Straits Mosque or Masjid Selat Melaka,  on the man-made island of Pulau Melaka near Malacca Town in Malacca state, Malaysia.

It is good that there isn't much of a slick, a sheen, I heard on the news. The real problem is why one country uses 25% of the world's oil, that is something that needs to be addressed. Not just for environmental reasons but the way the US goes on about needing to not be depended on oil from overseas, unstable parts of the world. Wouldn't it make a bit more sense to use less of it?


To compare the US to other countries, it doesn't make much sense to compare it to say Luxembourg.
A more credible comparison would be to Europe as a whole, with similar population and living standard.
Do you know were Europe stands on oil the usage league?

Perhaps the government should have a cap on the number of children you can claim benefits for.
