Basically you get to f*ck all work for huge pay and can't be laid off, lie back playing solitare and laugh at those in the private sector losing their jobs and paying massive tax. However you must be a blood relation of a Fianna Fail politician to get said job and must vote and canvass for Fianna Fail in the election in return. Soviet Russia no different.

If a person holds a particular belief, spiritual or otherwise, that is their personal choice/viewpoint, calling someone crazy, ignorant or stupid because of what they choose to believe is also wrong, and likely hypocritical.

Great having a chat with my Grandfather the other day about this, the look on his face was priceless when I revealed my current earnings.
