SarahBell Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) I think maybe everyone should have a job in the public sector. Why not... they can just print the money. NOT. Edited October 1, 2010 by SarahBell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because "we" don't feel that we are equal to athority. Me, I emailed it in. My numbers are just as worthless as anyone elses. Most folks can't do that though, because they feel guilty for drawing breath and it's attached itself to money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robo1968 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 You try and listen to the other side, put aside your own beliefs and thoughts to take in others opinion and perspective to have a broader view and then an idiot like this comes along spouting rubbish, I hope she is part of the cut backs. Perhaps she could get a well paid job at Tetra Pak..... oh hang on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
