Isn't it NICE that the millionaire owner of a swanky Scottish shopping outlet has been let off losing his driving licence for driving too fast even though he admitted he ought to lose it, and he already has 14 points on his licence, because he "might have to put some of his employees out of work" if he can't drive ....

Isn't it NICE that you'll find any kind of bullshit you want on the internet?

Wouldn't it have been NICE if he had employed an extra person to drive him around?

Mr. Fremont: It's snowing outside! Anthony, are you making it snow?
Anthony Fremont: Yes, I'm making it snow.
Mr. Fremont: Why, that'll ruin half the crops! You know that, don't you, half the crops! That's what that... But it's GOOD you're making it snow. It's real good. And tomorrow's going to be a good day too.

Yeah, you little snow-makin' rat bastard. Go ahead, wish me into the cornfield. Ain't like I've never been in a cornfield before. Don't look at me like I've never been in a cornfield.

It's NICE that we have another thread where people can tell us obvious stuff and stuff. It's really NICE when the obvious stuff doesn't come from the same old stuffer. I feel downright warm and FUZZY (see Bri, we've come full circle.) And it's NIIIIICCCCCCCCE.

Shawnee123 · 01-19-2011, 03:43 PM

So, quit your job, go on crazy pay, Flint. I've been considering it.

I think it's NICE when while washing your hands to prepare dinner you get halfway through and realize you have to pee. lather rinse dry repeat.

Isn't it nice that those with more can complain about those with less.

Isn't it nice that those with more can complain about those with a LOT MORE.

Isn't it nice that those with a LOT MORE don't give a damn.

Just so's all y'all know..... it's probably more equitable than that in the socialist/commie Uk and environs....

In the UK, yup, you get help on low income, and the more kids you have, the more "benefits" you get, but they're generally not enough to make it an attractive lifestyle for the majority ..and you have to jump through hoops of the sort SG is describing with her jobsearch.

Flint... preschool at $10K? what sort of preschool is this? Private high school doesn't cost a lot more that that here, and I think we have a higher cost of living. Preschool was about $500 for us. Or are you talking daycare?

It's an example, use any numbers. Say two people work for $1 an hour. One person works 9 hours and one person works 11 hours. If everybody with under $10 gets $5 of free preschool, then the person with $9 will have $9 and $5 worth of preschool. The person with $11 will have to pay $5 of his own money for the preschool, and end up with only $6. They both have $5 worth of preschool, but the person who worked two more hours ends up with 3 less dollars. Not to mention the higher taxes the harder worker pays. Those tax dollars pay for the other person's free preschool.

The person that works harder and ends up with less to show for it is going to be pissed.

The person that gets free stuff, and gets to keep his own money, is going to say the system is great!
