Michael_W Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I don't think a one legged cat with cancer would get much sympathy from you. You don't really know who or what would get my sympathy though ... eh Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pb1977 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 So all you public sector workers have had your day off in the sun, so has todays actions actually gained you anything ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaFan Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Bless em, lifes a bitch and then you........errrrmmmm retire if your lucky....welcome to the real world ! Heard too many whinging public sector strikers stories today that they will get zero sympathy from me, their political, brainwashed jargon is unreal ah, the 'real world' chestnut. My job involves helping people who are on the receiving end of some of the worst aspects of our society. The issues they have to deal with and that I have to help them with include: - having been sexually abused as children, often by family members - severe mental health problems - constantly being targeted, robbed and exploited by people who live near them - being pimped into prostitution, sometimes by family members - being introduced to drugs, including alcohol, at ages as young as 7 - addiction - having been trafficked and used as sex slaves - having been repeatedly raped - having found a parent (sometimes even both parents) dead by suicide as children and so on and so on. Which bit of this is not 'real world' enough for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect to soldiers, surely they know what the starting salary is before they sign up and id say its an occupational hazard of been in the armed forces that you may just get sent to a war zone.
