the teachings of Jesus.
good point. the early church was founded on community and support provided to all the people socially and finanically excluded by the roman empire. widows, the poor, slaves.
"the church" didn't mean the building, it meant the community network.

Thing I didn't know: most South Ossetians already carry Russian passports ...
i seem to remember that many people from the former soviet republics do?
much like former british colonies i guess.
could be wrong on that one, but remember speaking with a latvian who was able to use both passports.

@suze. no offence was taken at any point.
just wanted to indicate that if youreally try, you can make it out of beneficiary-hell.
@emma
Actually, if you're on a benefit and working part time, that part-time income is taxed at a secondary rate.
which is why all beneficiaries should file an IR3. you can claim all the over-taxation back.
in fact... almost everyone should file one. most people are overtaxed since the end of mandatory filing.

Tony, meet Grant. His 'arguments' largely consist of fucking idiotic, fact-free assertions repeated over and over

check out his gravatar. he's obviously a robot in the real world too.
As i said in another thread, I'll be voting for a yellow dog before the National party gets my vote.
ACT is putting up a dog in which electorate exactly?

just realised i should qualify that. *once were warriors* would be an overstatement. but only once i reached about 8.

unless you've got heaps of examples of Once Were Warrior children becoming policy analysts, no anecdotes please.
you mean, other than me?

I suggest we keep doing what we're doing, spending our days at 'work' ruminating about policy and devoting the occasional free hour or two in the middle of the day to a blog discussion
the value i add to society is my ability to think! can i help it that this pays better than my old job washing dishes?
otherwise, touche.
