So do you Alister, though I sense you don't mean it. Bad enough to have
some wanker imply that the opinions of those that don't have jobs are
somehow valueless, but it doesn't help that people like you accept the
premise, but deny being one of the jobless no-brainers. ;-)

Reminds me of the 80's here in Tasmania, when people used to whine that the
protesting "greenies" were all dole bludgers, as though that would somehow
prove that their protests were any less valid. Used to really piss me off
to have to then hear some greenie prick proclaim that he had a right to
protest because he "had a job", as though those who don't have a job have
less civil rights.

So give us dole bludgers a break will you!
