people in a western society. People who choose to sit on their backside or hands and say poor me will always have nothing and do nothing but bludge off a system that allows them to.Instead of making people taken responsibility for themselves and their actions.( Do they realy need the latest Wi/new plasma/rebok shoes etc.) While also exspecting others to always help them out.How do I know this because I work for a very large charity.I take a hard line on those I see coming in week after week always expecting a handout. While also knowing they do the rounds of all the charities (some are what I would nearly call professional) to see what they can get. While most volunteers are genuine in their efforts to help, alot aren't and feel its their right to steal and or have things cheaper.I am one who is very strict on my volunteers and if they don't like the fact they aren't volunteering to help themselves or get 1st pick or what they want. I soon get rid of them. Most of us are prepared to giveup something (like smokes/alcohol/plasma tv etc) so we can have what we want or what we feel matters to us. Which in some case is a well deserved holiday. The point of this is Bali does not have a welfare system to look after them so they rely on tourism and the kind help and support that others are prepared to give.But at least they get off their backside and work. Even if you don't take clothes/school books or buy specific items for a family, just by going to Bali and spending you are helping those way way less fortunate than yourselves.
