Is that not a fair summary of those kind of people though Pops? People who are quite happy to whinge but won't do anything about it??
Whilst in some respects you are right, you see examples everyday of people WANTING to work even for minimum wage, even if they have to travel they need to feel like they're doing something (like that dude who stood on a RAB with a sign saying "give me a job" and someone did) but then you have the people who will complain there isn't anything around and whinge and moan and won't try and find a solution and try and mooch off the state just cos there isn't anything mroe local, or easy or paying enough, this is perhaps more akin to Oxy's point, you are potentially taking it to literally.
Pretty much - certainly in my sector anyway (engineering), we would be concerned about taking people on that are overqualified as when the market picks up they will go and get better paid jobs at the level they should be working to and we are looking for people to stick with us, shortsighted as everyone can leave when they want but this is the prevailing way of thinking with hiring managers (i'm a recruiter) This is not to say that's the attitude everywhere but it is a consideration.
JW - Yes those that are just whingeing but wont do anything about it - there are people like Oxy describes. I just think he's lumping everyone into the same category. Seren was just making the point that not everyone can move around to work when the wages do not cover the costs of moving or travelling - whilst Norman Tebbit's famous piece of advice is often valid there are also many circumstances where it isn't.
My initial reply was that to use the handful of immigrant millionaires as an example that people can make it from nothing is pretty meaningless because he's pulling out exceptional people - hence why I likened it to someone saying Paul Tergat can run a sub 2.10 marathon therefore people are just whingers if they can't.
Anyway got to go to work now or I'll turn into one of Oxy's lazy wasters.
only because they were leaning slightly to the right!! The right and bankers are failing -about time a genuine left were up there. Socialism can work with some tweaks.
The stupid argument that we need very high pay for the best etc. Justifying bankers wage and bonuses on that fron! The best!!? -get real!
nope but I was waiting for the usual claptrap of the right
anyway about time we looked at an alkternative way of doing things, that rewards hard work and promotes greater equality for all. Less f*cking consuming too.
See more of what ?
You do talk a load of bollocks sometimes Stu !
LOL - so why are you always banging on about them then? You don't hear me going on about 'em and they are right on my doorstep apparently
has teenage pregnancy gone down there since I got married?
The pregnancy and over weight are statistics produced by the PCT
Thank god it's not like that where we live......
Anyway back to the point Stu
You haven't got kids and aren't a high earner
