You are an ignoramous! No social safety net? I hope your luck runs out and you land up on the street one day along with your kids!

but you see the joke is totally on them because it irked me enough to write a reply straight away when the only gadget to hand was my iPod Touch. Here is the result.

Thank you so much for the insult and the I'll wishes. You certainly added to the discourse. Of course given your attitude I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you seem not to have attempted to understand either my point of view or that of the article I quoted. In short: I am not advocating a society based upon arbitrarily dumping the poor on the scrapheap of life but actually considering ways of supporting people that either don't require taxation or require considerably less in the way of taxation. I am not willing to simply accept that,because it is a given, we should blindly go along with it no matter the costs or the ills it generates. Thanks for playing.

Considering my first impressions of typing on the iPod Touch I have to say it was amazing. I made a couple of errors but, overall, found myself able to type at a good pace and was not frustrated with it. It's really pretty good.

(See the way I turned around a comment about me being a feelingless bastard who wants to consign humanity to the dustbin into a post about my iPod Touch... okay I guess maybe I am an ignoramus!)

Curiouser and Curiouser! on ipod-touch
