I know!! Isn't it terrible??!!

And you know what else I don't like?

That you have to invest significant effort to get decent qualifications in life (Shane Warne excluded) - making it really hard for everyone to get their dream job which is just sooooo unfair, because of course we all deserve to.

That people expect you to stick to established paths whenever walking in National Parks, making it really hard for everyone to go exactly where they want, whenever they want. Surely the fact that I can create my own short-cut means I'm bloody well entitled to! I actually consider those National Parks Departments very selfish and elitist for not having created sufficient trails to cater for for everyone's whims in advance.

Surely in a modern individualistic society, if I see something I want to be part of there must be some kind of injustice at play if I can't?
