    That is why the egg came before the Chicken.

    Unless you don't believe in evolution, then God magic'd the Chicken first.

    Actually, I believe it was recently demonstrated that only a chicken creates a chicken-like egg, so the chicken came first, and then started producing chicken-like eggs.

    In birds, the eggshell forms around the embryo after the embryo has been created. So by necessity, the chicken must have come first and the egg formed around it.
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    Good God. Youngsters today!

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    The omelette came first. And God said it was good. So he made the chicken to lay the eggs to make more omelettes. Simple, really.

    Amazing tread! Had a good laugh.

    Im 35 with 2 kids and i pay a shitload of taxes, doest it hurt me? No! Old people build up my country and had their own crap times back after the war.
    Can i blame People who want to get something back for working hard? No!

    Times change, thats correct. In germany back in the 70s we brought up a system which give you money once you retired or stoped work. Enough to live quite good.
    In the 70 7 employer had to pay for 1 old person, today 2,5 employer pay for 1 old person.

    Clearly the system dont really work anymore, so people in my age have pay twice. First for the old people and second for myself, since when Im an old grandpa noone is goin to pay for me.
    Doest ist hurt me? No!

    Get some good education, build up some houses and enjoy your life. If thats not good enough for you, than buy more houses or just leave the country whuch you obviously dont like at all.

    People who whine about this, are usually not good enought to earn some proper cash or run an own company.
