John Kintaro Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 My name is John, a few months ago I read We The Living which was amazing, and I am nearing the end of Atlas Shrugged. I am twenty years old, I plan on studying business at the end of this year. I am very good with computers, mostly programming related tasks. I can do a lot more than just that, of course. I live out in Australia in the small town of Latrobe Valley. I once lived in the outer suburbs of the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMeganSnow Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Nice to meet you. There are a fair number of Aussies and Kiwis around here, which I think is unfair because we miss out on the sexy accent when all we can do is read what you typed.

There's also The Fountainhead and Anthem, too - both cracking reads. Good luck with the business studies! I live out in Australia in the small town of Latrobe Valley. I once lived in the outer suburbs of the city. So, you're a Victorian? That's okay, I wont hold it against you JJM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kintaro Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I want to get the Fountainhead, I've also read Anthem I just forgotten to mention it. At the moment I would say I have a worry, which is basically how to apply everything I have been learning from reading this stuff. I used to be a kind of hoodlum, and now I just feel like a lowly robber, ex lowly robber I guess. Not that I have robbed anyone, just for too many months of welfare payments. When the government give you welfare at 17, and you don't do anything except smoke pot and homework it is a little difficult materalizing where that money comes from which is simply other people's pockets. The other issue I have is the impossible criteria in my goals at the moment. Simply, I am forced to work illegally on the Internet doing programming because Australian Welfare for people with mental health issues is that it is morally wrong for me to have some fucking pride for once in my life. They think that me working would be an ammoral act of slavery. It was at the point I turned 19 and wanted a job I learned all of this bullshit a public health system doctor has put against me. It is illegal, for me to work. It is perfectly legal for me to get $14k a year of taxpayer dollars. Interestingly also, my right to vote has been taken away by a doctor who got angry at me because of certain views. Essentially, I have no rights or obligations and I can break the law in almost any way I want and get away with it. That is a problem when you are young adjusting to the world. This country has ruined me, so hold Victoria against me. Damn this whole fucking Government. This is why someone else, not me, will blow themselves up one day. I am one of a few too many people in this shitty situation when I am perfectly able to do a lot. All I can do, is wait till they review my case. Note: all of this is related to self loathing crap, but I had to get it out somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musenji Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) Jenni! I have heard the accent! It is everything you dreamed it could be. Just IM Kane on Windows Live Messenger and have him speak to you in voice clips. [edit] Okay, I just read the previous post--I didn't mean for a faux pas there. That does sound odd of the government. How long until they can review your case? Edited April 8, 2008 by musenji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kintaro Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 My doctor can review my case whenever he wants. The public mental health system here has become a vicious gulag in my eyes. The government have given them power by law to act almost lawlessly as doctors. I don't mind doctors, I have a great private shrink. I will be able to get rid of all this and have been working towards it. I can get private health cover and a real doctor with real motives (medicine) instead of the sole motive of sacrafice (altruism). I want a doctor, not a fucking saint. It has taken me quite a while to save up and once I am done hopefully my new private doctor with all the powers of the previous ones (because a degree should really let private individuls have the power to decide if I am worthy to vote and earn money). The public health system has to much power when it can make me unable to earn, and unable to vote. It has done both to me for no good reason. I have never broken the law, yet I am criminally insane according to these idiots. All I wanted was better grades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA is my first, but if the democrats win I am not coming to the USA. Edited April 8, 2008 by DragonMaci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musenji Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Didn't you have problems understanding me because I was talking to fazt or something else? Well, yeah, I wasn't used to understanding words in the accent, and it was over IM with a computer microphone... But it was still pretty awesome.

K-Mac Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Just so I understand correctly, your doctor can legally take away your right to vote because of some mental disorder you may or may not be suffering from?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kintaro Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Yep, I am not sure what kind of judgement it is based on but it is all pretty damn vauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
