I'm not across the logic of these people. Their children can't handle gluten and dairy, but their immune systems can adequately cope with polio and smallpox?
A lot of people fail to see the real dangers of gluten. Have a look at this link and you might not be quite so judgemental

Hopefully science will be able to give a big fuck you to cancer in our lifetimes

Im sure there's more to this than the guy in the article is letting on and burying your head in the sand isn't a great tactic for dealing with the taxman
An experienced lawyer (in his fifties, graduated 1993) earning $52k a year? He's doing it wrong.
I suspect his income may be more than his stated salary.
Also no sympathy as he's trying it on to pay less than he owes.
-
The exchange rate in the late '90s was probably around NZ$4 to the pound, so that lawyer should have been able to pay his $16K debt off almost painlessly instead of sticking his head in the sand and hoping it would evaporate.
Not very sensible or responsible, but he was probably operating under the misguided assumption that he'd never want to return to his country of birth.

It's the interest that kills you but a lot of people go overseas with no intention of ever paying back a student loan, so no sympathy from me.
I had a modest student loan and paid it off within 6 months after moving to the USA when the exchange rate was in my favour.

What a loser this guy is. I wouldn't want anyone to know the extent of my stupidity. He got absolutely skewered on stuff in the comments

@Chris-B. was only $3.30 to £1 when I went in 1999, got to $3.65 in about 2000/2001, and was on the hige slide when I left in 2005 but was lucky to get $2.94 with my last cheque back to NZ, get buggar all with the birthday cheques form the in-laws now!

There was pretty much zero sympathy for him, I think being a lawyer probably didn't help much if he did a nursing degree or something I think they wouldn't have been so excoriating .

Funniest one I read was "lawyer complaining because he didn't read the terms of the contract he signed? LOL "

Ferald using the term "prisoner" to describe a [somewhat unfortunate] family's living conditions.

I'm sure Kelvin Davis will take up cudgels for them if he thinks they actually are prisoners.
"Somewhat unfortunate" = Interesting how the parents have a severely disabled 9 year old, but then decided to get another baby 16 months ago. On the bennies too. Surely you'd pull the pin on further children once you'd had the disabled child.

Last time Maccas didn't ask, and sent home one with a "boy" toy, and one with a "girl" toy, shit got very real in my house.

I knew it was only a matter of time before some social justice warrior complained about that. I feel genuinely sorry for that woman's kids, they must be so confused.
It is incredible the lengths people are going to to deny the biological differences between men and woman.

The thing is the happy meal toy is always shit and 99% of most kids bin it before they make it home.
These chicks just have too much fucking time on their hands, oh the injustice of it all.
First the Manchester bombing then this, wont someone think about the kids?
