#2 As an Aussie who has been on welfare, I know its not a bad life on the dole. The pays bad but the hours are good, and you can work from home.

#8 OK, look, if you see this on your TV set you know something is wrong and you must do something about it. 1) Turn off the TV. 2) Get the hell out of your house and find a job.
