          snaw wants to be careful. I had this mate right, he only went and posted on a forum about a tube strike didnt he. The security services scanned for mortar tube and air strike and anti democracy and tagged him didnt they.
          next thing, he's in Changi getting fish hooks shoved down his japs eye


          straight up, not a word of a lie

              I agree with the Ruskie!

              What is it with people that they seem to be desperate to have kids and don't consider whether they can afford to clothe and feed them, or does said desperation throw logic out the window???

You know, those very people that you insist are just the poor unfortunates that we should all be eagerly handing our hard-earned taxes to.

                Looks like I will be hit by this ...

                I was taking the piss, but you opening sentence either indicates you're bothered or you're not quite sure you're making 44k per year ;-)

                  Biologically speaking they are the successful ones...bit like cuckoos - reproducing and getting others to pay
                  How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

                      The way I see it. It's not about wanting to procreate and fill the world with lots of mini-me's.
