Official Match Thread Season 27 Round 11 - Sin City Swamprats vs East Side Hawks at Underground Stadium

[Agent93]

Money talks - just cut back on the amount they get each week.

I'd question why you'd want to do that. If you've believe it's to save public money then you should be absolutely melting over several recent* government spends. Most folks on Newstart earn $601 fornightly, which annually is 12000 times less than the amount the government spent on opening the Christmas Island detention centre for a photo-op. Or 5300 times less than the government spent on nothing, in order to appease a water buyback quota, without touching big business.

Reducing money serves to lessen the ethical obligation a government has towards keeping its citizens alive and healthy. If they cannot afford food and/or shelter they get sick and either become a burden on the medical system, or die at the conscience of government. I'd advocate rather than restrict their allowances, restrict where and what the allowances can be used to the point of itemised categorical spend. The carrot being that if the citizen starts participating in society more they regain financial freedoms (ie they can buy their booze and smokes again).

Probably less of a problem if bogan slackers didn't gloat about it on TV.

In principle, I'm all for this but in a more practical sense, the self-determination v. restriction debate is a tricky one due to past events.

One thing is certain - people who refuse to work need to be treated more harshly. I remember watching A Current Affair some time ago (back when I actually watched it), and this oxygen thief proudly stared down the TV camera, and boasted that he hadn't worked for 28 years, and nobody was going to make him get a job. The government needs to come down hard on such people, who believe themselves to be exempt from the laws that everyone else has to adhere to!!!!

Maybe I'm naive, but I'd like to think that such "people" are in the minority, and the majority who rely on government help are unable to work or unable to find work.

On a side note, the hellfire burger is pretty great. Too bad it's on sale at the same time as the hot and spicy (Victoria doesn't get it as a regular item). Irritates a tad but my bowel appreciates the dilemma.

Money talks.

Unfortunately, the only thing mine ever says is "goodbye".

I think they'd have to be in the minority. To a sharp degree, otherwise the balances for supporting that amount of non-working people would top over very quickly.

The so-called "Hellfire Burger" barely tickles me. The Spicy Jalapeno wrap I find has more of a punch to it. Actually I had one today, and it's ******* delicious

I should be sponsored by Subway in all seriousness.

The amount of times I’ve had Subway already this year...

Hey mate!

Long time no see. Hope you are well.

You reckon that’s bad. Mine goes all Cornelia Francis on me.

“You are The Weakest Link”

“Goodbye”

Politics AND Hawks??

That is a valid & irrefutable point you make.






Damn it.

Money can't buy happiness, but it can definitely buy a better class of misery .

So I imagine money sings something like this



Or maybe something like this

And it's highly enjoyable watching them squirm while we continue it.

Our new gameplan is to let the opposition's turnover merchant rack up possessions at will. Saves us having to go in and win a hard ball. Kinda like what Collingwood did with Dylan Shiel.

The odd thing is he is rated second for total turnovers and 8th in clangers but is also 1st for total inside 50's , 8th in total effective disposals , first in total meters gained , 7th in total goal assists , second in total centre clearances. Yes it would be nice to eliminate a few of the clangers.

Chilli is genuinely the most amazing thing that has and will ever happen to food.
