RSt> I was under the misapprehension that (as the term is usually
RSt> used in a disparaging way) you were actually suggesting how
RSt>  (he of the original post) should/not spend his money.
RSt> But you wouldn't be doing that now, David, would you?

DD> I would be suggesting what he do with the money that the government
DD> gives him to live on, on my behalf as a taxpayer though.

RSt> ROFL! Your corolary:

RSt>   1. My mother receives an age pension from the government.
RSt> + 2. David Drummond works his fingers to the
RSt>      bone and pays copious amounts of tax.
RSt> = 4. David Drummond has the right to tell
RSt>      my mother how to spend her money.

He's also a NZer |-)

He does have a limited point tho, the dole is a 'job search allowance'
He aint searching for any job choosing to play BBSs instead. He may
very well be a parasite choosing to bludge off welfare instead.

RSt> Sorry, David, it just doesn't add up. You don't have the
RSt> luxury of being able to tell someone how to spend their money.

Well, HE may not, but WE may well be entitled to say that the dole
was never intended to be a handout for those who would rather bludge.
