Jim | Jim,
You may be right. I think self employed people have a different outlook and philosophy on life. We are self employed because we want to do our own thing. To be totally responsible for our own success/failure. Not being dictated to by petty/stupid people further up the ladder. Not to be out of a job because someone higher up decides you're redundant/incompetent/not PC/etc etc
We try and circumvent beaurocratic nonsense, government regulations, PC drivel. We tell it like it is, we ignore speed limits, we enjoy life, we believe in everything in moderation. We appreciate the female form and beautiful women. We love fast cars and noisy motors. We believe people are responsible for their own actions. We don't look to the government to protect us from our own stupidity. We learn the hard way, we injure ourselves, life is colourful and varied. There is pain and there is joy. There is hard work and hard play. WE LOVE LIFE! WE HATE BLAND! We hate social engineering.
We like to get on with our own lives and do what we like when we like, provided it has no detrimental effect on anyone else. We are not interested in influencing what anyone else is doing so long as it does not affect us. Foolishly we tend to expect the same courtesy to be returned by individuals and society.
Before I was born, my father went to war to protect his and his future childrens freedoms. He came back alive, many of his mates didn't. Now, the freedoms and lifestyle that many died to uphold are being eroded by a fifth column from within.....
Got ot go now, there is a knock on the door. I think it's a visit from the Thought Police......Thank god I've got my cyanide tablet handy....
Cheers, |

| Re: Dear Guru Well said Russ, summed up the way a lot of us feel.
If you don't mind I'll copy your post and send it to some of my less than PC mates.
P.S. Don't feed the thought Police cyanide they aren't worth it.

When the dreaded PC BS started, one of the girls put up a big poster on the wall, which read :
"SEXUAL HARRASSMENT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED IN THIS OFFICE
IT WILL BE GRADED"

(We're currently having a Federal Election here, and the choices are depressingly limited). I absolutely agree with you. As with Pete, if you don't mind I'll forward and endorse your thoughts to a few of my friends also.
I have lost a number of friends via illness and accident over the years, and realise that life is too valuable to waste it on the small and petty. Seize the day, life is beautiful!

Dalton | Sorry Dalton,
They say that
People who can, do.
People that can't, teach.
People that can't teach, become politicians
Just to brighten your day!!
Sorry if I've offended any teachers on here! As for any politicians feelings? Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!
However I do like the idea of a party. We can have it at my place. Who's bringing the booze and the naked women?
Cheers

| Re: Dear Guru Hey Russ if you invite me I'll jump on a Virgin and fly over. Booze is no problem, but naked ladies..Well, Dalton might be able to supply them.
And Bill D might want to bring his friend in the net stockings, do you think she would get through quarantine?

Dalton better come too then.....
Bill D won't won't have a problem, the guys in quarantine are soft on sheep. They would let her through in exchange for her 'favours'. As you pointed out, we've got another 20 million here so Fran might as well fly in too.....
I think we've got ourselves a party  |
