Horrible Living Conditions
#11
Things aren't getting better here for children either. Last night a news programme did a segment on the difference between a decile 10 and decile 1 school.
The decile 10 school had all the children with balanced and filling lucnhes. All but one had eaten breakfast, and all but about 3 had fruit.

The other school had only a couple of children with lunches, and they were no better than a packet of chips and a half drunken bottle of soft drink. Many children didn't even have school bags, and there was no fruit in sight except the bucket of school provided kiwifruit, one for each child.

The gap in NZ is widening at a frightening rate. We were a country that in the early-mid 20th century considered to be the best country in the world, some said we were almost like a form of communism that worked flawlessly.

the real world is a horrible disgusting place, I'm sure some of us have forgotten most of the horror stories we've heard of. a customer I had told me he wish 12/21/12 was a real thing because the world is so screwed up and I agreed with him.

That customer isn't the only one that at least half wishes 12/21/12 were real. I mean yeah plenty of reasons I'm glad it isn't but, it really wouldn't hurt my feelings if it were.
