This sounds distressingly American. "We're the greatest because though we are living in the sht, we can pull ourselves out of it."

How about just not being in the sht to start with? Just an idea. Bit socialist, I know, but there it is.

Fuck me you reckon lon tan or anzac cove was full of ****s dressed in green pissing and moaning about how fucked it was the government let them down?

All before my time obviously, but speaking generally, I can assure you that a significant part of time in uniform is spent pissing and moaning about the Army. Soldiers have three hobbies: drinking, fcking, and complaining about the Army.

The hyperbole in this thread is stronger than an ACA story. Tracy Grimshaw would be jealous.

No matter what there are always going to be some people in the shit therefore their kids start in the shit. If you work and are half smart you can pull yourself out in this country.

How many bumbs that have won lotto and have less money than they started 12 months later.

I was oppressed and down as I didn't have the bare necessities to survive. All I had was clean water to drink, electricity at the flick of a switch, free education, accessible and mostly free health care, a working government, public transport, clean air, social security and shops full of a massive range of food and no gunfire on the streets.

But I pulled myself out of the shit and made something of myself. Now I wear shoes and clothes made by 12 year old vietnamese children, I have a phone made from rare metals mined by 10 year olds in the Congo and drive a car built by a company that made weapons for the Nazis. So I guess I'm a survivor.
