Is it bad manners? Noisy (or nosey) neighbours? Crude dress? Expensive groceries? Rainy days? I know this isn't an overly positive toipc, but as is life, we're only human and sometimes things just tick us off...

There are lots of things ranging from stores and cafes that pretend to provide service to people ,to people who live in NSW and Qld complaining that they didn't vote for Gillard as PM, to people who read something in a tabloid or hear a shock jocks latest drivel and take it as the truth.

I wonder whether the response to the headlines about 'Boatfuls of electronics and other equipment for boat people" and the outrage about this and just how it compares to the deafening silence that followed when all the evidence demonstrates that these headline were not true.

Perhaps these dullards who take the account of The Telegraph and the shock jocks as true may have passed their driving test but maybe they need to pass an intelligence test before we allow them to vote.
After all with a car they can kill just a few people but with a vote they can ruin a country!
