Lets move on. We've made our points. please.
Looks to me like the Aussies talk the talk but don't walk the walk. The chart was intended to show how countries make grand pledges but then don't actually deliver. Australia only delivered a third of what it pledged.
In addition this chart is only based on Tsunami relief and does not show any sort of definitive world wide all inclusive numbers.
How much did Australia donate to Africa last year?
In as much as I don't want to sound like I am taking the side of someone that walks upside down from us. The Aussies are giving about the same as Americans when you figure the population base, which is a little of them verses a lot of us.... The "Pledged" part is way off though...
I posted a reply to Mike's original post ,out of respect and agreeing that Americans need to get back on track and how disappointed I am in this country . But after reading how heated the exchange became with a few members and knowing my opinion would cause problems , I am not going to even get involved . Sorry Mike . I deleted my "reply post" to you .
Lets move on. We've made our points. please.
Some years ago working, we were severely understaffed. Working 15 hour days, 6 days a week was the norm because we had to get it done. Well, one day, while driving to a job in the company truck by myself, I saw a middle age (looked to be in decent shape) man standing on the corner with a cardborad sign. It was apparent that this man was looking for a handout, but the sign he was holding up in front of him said "hungry and no money, willing to work for food" (or to that extent, forget the exact wording).
Well, since I was stopped at that corner anyway, I put on my parking break and looked at him and told him to jump on in the truck. He looked at me puzzled and asked why. I told him that I needed an extra set of hands for work and that I would pay him good money to give me a days work. He looked at me and said "no thanks".
You know what? Sush reminds me of that guy.
I carried her out as the fire department was arriving. I was really pissed off that nobody was helping when I realized that they had no clue to what to do, so they just stood around. Needless to say I was pretty disgusted that nobody had a clue, and as I go though life, I realize that very few people have a clue of what to do in any kind of an emergency, especially in the big city where most of the Sheeple live.
Sush, is Simple Minds your favorite band?
You don't remind me of the bum on the corner because he doesn't have a job, you remind me of him because like the bum, you claim you want something, but you really want something else.
The bum claims he wants a job to get money. You claim you want serious advice to help you in your life.
What the bum really wants is money.
What you really want is sympathy.
What you need is therapy. Im not kidding.
To some extent, we all need some type of therapy.
That said, I'm not the one on the internet complaining all the time about a dead end job that gives me so satisfaction and all the hot women that I would like to get laid by.
Perhaps the difference between you and I my friend is that I had a caring, loving father and mother who was always there for me (even though my dad wanted to kill me when I was younger).
I actually feel pity for the relationship you have with your father (God knows, seems like that's what you're looking for when you write about your dad).
Let me guess, go crying to the moderators because you can't handle the truth?
Oops, wait, we're not in the seriously speaking section. Guess I don't have to tell you what you want to hear.
And please, if any of you (and you know who you are) don't like what I have to say, and go complaining to the moderators, at least have the courage to tell me what you think yourself.

I don't go to the Mods, but what I do think is you need some help mate, move on for fuk sake
Just in kind, responding to Sush, mate.
Afraid Sush is going to get too depressed and jump out a window?
Interesting concept. See... if you look back... Sushi's last post before you dredged it up was to "Move On." So how were you REALLY responding to Sushi when you dug this up?
I work harder than anyother rep in that department! I wasnt givin ANY active accounts. NONE! And now I have 13 at weeks end today that are active. All the other reps were GIVEN active ones. How does THAT make you think of a guy with a sign that wont work??????
One of my past jobs I have a Bi-polar (seriously) boss that tracked me with GPS every second of the day. I had a 25 minute lunch and was paid $25K / year plus a small commission. He was nice one minute and then INSANE the next. I suffered through that for almost 2 years. There is a huge amount more to tell you what that guy did and I dont want to remember it.
When I was out of a job a few years back I worked with this guy for cash clearing sewage pipes.... grease traps and digging holes to install or repair sewage lines in restaurants!!!! Im smelled like greasy shit at the end of those days and ruined a few pairs of shoes, many jeans and shirts. But I did what I had to do to make it so I could support myself AND send a few bucks to my dad.
Bullying
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bullying is a problem that can be detrimental to students’ well-being and development[1].
Bullying is the act of intentionally causing harm to others, through verbal harassment, physical assault, or other more subtle methods of coercion such as manipulation. Bullying can be defined in many different ways. Although the UK currently has no legal definition of bullying, [2] some US states have laws against it. Bullying is usually done to coerce others by fear or threat. [3]
Bullying in school and the workplace is also referred to as peer abuse.
In colloquial speech, bullying often describes a form of harassment perpetrated by an abuser who possesses more physical and/or social power and dominance than the victim. The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a target. The harassment can be verbal, physical and/or emotional. Sometimes bullies will pick on people bigger or smaller than their size. Bullies hurt people verbally and physically because they themselves have been the victim of bullying[4][5][6] (e.g. a bullying child who is abused at home, or bullying adults who are abused by their colleagues).
I responded because Sush incorrectly assumed that since he worked and the bum I mentioned in my story didn't, there was nothing in common between Sush and the bum.
Since I was banned for 14 days, I couldn't "correct" Sush about his assumption being incorrect because I was banned right after Sush made his incorrect assumption.
As I mentioned in my first response in being banned, I told sush he and the bum "were the same" in my opinion because they both asked for one thing, but really wanted something else.
Since Sush thought I should get therapy (and as I mentioned, we all do to some extent), I thought I would elaborate more in my opinion as to why he should seek therapy as well (those darn unloving, ungrateful father stories he AKA Sush makes about his father).
Keep in mind, the original thread was locked per Sush's request, but it was Mike who brought the topic of "heartless people" up pertaining to Sush's locked thread.
I don't have a habit of hiding or running when I think I'm right.
Well I'm a girl and I will tattle if you don't lay off Sush.....
I get it now! Yur just try'in ta be funnyDo you think I care?
Can I be in your club
I laid off Sush, I just corrected him after my short "hiatus" sp?.
He in kind responded.
What kind of charity? writing a check? I could compare physical work. If you were the nice guy you claim then you would take your bulling tactics someplace else. Sushi has NEVER asked anyone for anything. He's just blowing off steam. We consider him a friend. Not like you who considers a friend someone that can do something for you.
AW? yes we have a club!!! Its called A.R.U.
ADULTS R US........
