I remember Tim telling me that rent was actually weekly and it's cheaper to shack up with family.
It doesQuote:

Australia is much better off than America
Also Australian universities are better than american ones which is why so many americans pay to come here and study as our qualifications are recognised globally as being better
i think moscow has the highest cost of living in the world but no one would say it's better than london or nycQuote:

like i said, australia is a better country to live in if you are lower class, or lower middle class. because your tax payers subsidize people like you to live a decent life. if you were in america you would recieve no disability pension and would be either 1. in prison or 2. living in complete povertyQuote:

That sentiment is obviously misguided, and something I didn't see in equivalent American crowd (and I even hung out with Jeep safari off roading red necks in Utah. Yes I felt out of place there, but none of them went with their racism in-my-face, and in fact actually were nice to me). I researched more to figure out why this happens, and it seems to me, the reason is lack of cultural education in primary and secondary level. The central (federal) government decides what gets put on the textbooks, and due to the political nature, gets ignored.
are you kidding me? disability is bankrupting our country, people with mental disorders and ADHD are taking the easy way out and gobbling up all the taxes. People like Iguana Goddess can collect 600 bucks every two weeks.Quote:

she wouldn't be institutionalized unless she commits a serious violent crime. She'd be on the streetQuote:

you don't think she violated something very bad or had a terrible mental break during the course of her previous employment? she had to have considering she has no employmentin a country with a very low unemployment rate. something happened and it was probably very serious. she either 1: is actually autistic or something and was just able to collect university degrees and work wasn't suited for her so the state pays her to live by herself and not work or 2. she had a decent job, but had a mental break or molested some kid not allowing her to work anywhereQuote:

Have a good night.
doubt australia would just give money away to pedophiles.
in a country like australia she would most likely be able to. incarceration there is not like it is here. it's more about rehabilitation....e.g. in Germany and other countries they let inmates out to visit with their families during the holidays expecting them to come back.Quote:

again you have no facts supporting your rationale. you got degrees in useless bullshit because you're autistic and unable to work anwyehere unsupervised. i posted a purchasing power parity chart that explained the US is richer than Australia (e.g. we can buy more stuff with our incomes). However you're right the income disparity in the US is a hell of a lot higher than Australia's. Thus, someone like yourself who is living on subsistence and the government will have a higher standard or living than someone in the US doing the same. However, you still live a pathetic life.Quote:

lmao prison guards are some of the biggest idiots. Many of them are republican and hate workers unions, yet happen to be in a union.
they also have very low regards for the human beings locked in the facilities. The female prison guards are fat as fuck
If youre smart youll hide your cash where it can t be seen.Quote:

public sector unions who "secure" people in the US (e.g. the military) never have to worry about either political party messing with them. they can crush any attacks on their benefits p. easily. so in a sense, their union experience is much different than tradesmen or unions who work manufacturing stuff.Quote:
