Choice of occupation

[Pervert]

Okay, there you are at the local job centre, or whatever buzz word they're using these days, in downtown Basra or Gaza City or Istanbul:

"Tesco is looking for shelf stackers."
"Nah, don't fancy that."
"Dog walker? Lawn mower? Grave digger?"
"Nah, have you got something with no future, no pension scheme and no need for health insurance which requires little or no training and expertise?"
"Well, there are always vacancies for suicide bombers . . . . Of course, you'd have to be a complete moron prepared to accept bullshit that by giving your life and killing countless others you'd be going straight to paradise. And not question why those higher up in Hezbollah/al Qaida/the Republican Guard aren't willing to try it themselves."
"Just the ticket!"

Do they really think anyone will remember who they were and why they did what they did? Yes, when you're young there is a certain appeal in the thought of giving your life to a cause---but do none of them consider why the people giving out the explosives and the orders are so much older? Martyrs, no. Cannon fodder with delusions of grandeur, not even considered worthy of being pawns by the brainwashers using them.

You forgot about the bonus scheme, however many virgins you are supposed to get.

Yes, please don't forget about the seven virgins they can deflower in paradise once they've blown their balls and everyone else's through the ether.

That is, once they've exhausted Rosie Palm and her five daughters with porno...........
