Yes - usually means socially disadvantaged - low household income, parents
aren't feeding them/looking after their health "properly"/ some older male is
fucking them etc etc.

My ancestry is Scottish - much of Australian ancestry is Irish - or other parts
of Europe for the last 50 years. All have alcohol, tobacco and porn and cope a
little better than the Australian aborigines.

Well, that's the way it is. When one of these gods takes the trouble to make
itself know to me then I may heed them, until then they're figments of others'
imaginations.

While an imagination can be a positive thing, I don;t think it is when it fucks
with ones' life as gods seem to do.

Sin is a figment of religious imaginers' imaginations. :)

We have all sorts in Australia.

Nothing we call "chiggers" - what do they look like?

Lots of things to do - well, apart from shooting people. What ever else you
like to do we can probably accommodate you.

What are your hobbies?
