Yes 'cause otherwise it refers to some form of flight, or making it up as you go along.

1. People in jobs who look down on those struggling to find work, and make out it is easy, when it isn't.

2. Denigrating people as illegal or queue jumpers, who are seeking asylum from horrors at home, just like the Jews did when fleeing the Nazis

3. Tony Abbott.

2. boat people are economic benefit seekers, why else travel to Australia from a 'safe' country? they do jump the queue, as true asylum seekers waiting in camps get pushed back.
3. didn't say i don't vote labour, just don't like krudd!

people who say 'what i can't hear you' when i tell them I'm deaf and think they are funny!

people who barge past the disabled and knock them off their walking stick so they fall over and don't even look back! very common here in Aus


people who get pissed off when I can't lip read them sorry moron it's five minutes of your time it's my whole life!!

people who think it's funny to cover their mouth to talk when I tell them I lip read yes of course I'm lying and only teasing when I say I'm deaf the hearing aids are for fun!

People who say Oh you don't look deaf am I supposed to have a hunched back and moronic expression or maybe just deaf tattooed across my forehead!

phew rant over
