I guess lefties need a day for themselves and to contemplate What if....

What if I was born in the Middle East and I could not eat a meal Because my eating hand is also the Wiping hand

Oh nooooo and so true......happened to me in the middle of South India, local eatery with only 2 white skinned creatures (we were the 'attraction' of the place) and I started to eat with my 'wiping hand'............luckily I didn't understand what everybody was screaming about but you can be sure I did upset pretty much everybody in this eatery. And needless to say......I didn't do it again for the remaining 11 months.

I reckon hands have feeling too...not the job they do should they be discriminated upon. Wiping hand, eating hand, both are hands, taste & smell the same when properly cleaned. You wouldn't love either one any less. You smack people with either hand, it doesn't care. lol...you eat with any hand you want, hell, you can eat with someone else's hand if they feed you.

Mmmmmmmmmmm, Homer, just to clarify why they are so fuzzy in India when it comes to the 'eating hand' and the 'wiping hand'....... the average Indian does not use toilet paper/newspaper/any other tissue.......hence the disgusted stare if you end up eating with your left hand.

But they have detergent don't they? Not the tugging type though...lol. A quick wash grime of all sorts are gone, eat with any hand you like, the evil hand or angelic hand. Finger licking good either way...lol

.........especially now they are really entertaining. What did I read in todays paper........Abbott's plan to get long term (12 months or more) unemployed people back to work: if they get a job and hold it for 12 months they get paid $2500......if they can hold the same job for another 12 months they get another $4000.
Now, I can see the need to motivate (some) people to get off their bum and find work but I think it is the minority.....so is this the way to do it? And if the carrot has to be money does it seem an appropriate amount?

PS: plus the old idealist in me........I believe that the majority of unemployed people would like to have a job so make sure that enough jobs are available...........

I'd say cut off their welfare payments for the lazy bums that leach off the system. And at the same time create more jobs, use centrelink as a job agency for these bums.

It's an idea, I guess. That's something. But the long term unemployment problem, if it is indeed a 'problem', isn't exactly a pressing matter at the moment. Unemployment is at around 5.7%, which is low by anybodies standards. It realistically can't get a whole lot lower than that (despite what Clive Palmer says) as may people move from job to job and spend short periods of time unemployed.
I believe over 80% of that 5.7% have worked in the last 12 months and are not considered long term unemployed. So... it's a minor problem. But I'm willing to give Abbot some cred for having an idea.

Actually, we need to sack a whole lot more public servants, especially in the areas of Health and Education.

If empire-building was an Olympic sport these guys would be gold medallists for sure. Whenever money runs short just point the gun of bed closures or school closures at the pollies and watch the money come rolling in. We never hear of laying off a few pen-pushers in the ivory towers but if you lost half of these guys no-one would even notice .

Damn!, now my blood pressure is up so I will go and lie down for a minute or two.

Well Tony's taking a pay cut as he's not earning his keep. So's Kev, Clive and Pauline. Col too - he's doing without airconditioning.

Lets just say politics is like sex, some premature ejaculated, some just can't come, and some just don't know what they're doing, some are just there for a rub n tug, and some just in for a quickie, and there's the sadistic mob. Technical term such as clitoris is not understood by some let alone Vulva, no it's not a car.
