It's more appropriate in commercials for kids toys etc.

Hey, your kid has adhd and we're not helping

A staple of 80"s commercials.
Throw a lotta visual shit at them, they think it's cool

also WJM can't you go fishing if food was a problem? It's supposed to be bountiful down there

Because I don't have an ID. Also, there's no basement at home.
An ID photo costs about R15, and with food, water and bills and electricity being more important...

And if anyone is going to respond with "I should sell my computer" then it basically means that said person/people is/are saying that my father may as well be jobless.
My father's job requires the Internet, because knowing which days would be best to go salvaging stuff from shipwrecks is important, thus he uses the Internet. And the television weather reports are completely inaccurate, they show snow in the summer when it shouldn't be snowing.

Are you absolutely positive an ID costs money? Because it says here a first time application is free.

EDIT: R15 for an ID photo, sorry. Totally missed that. Surely you don't have to use a photo booth though. I'd have thought any head shot against a plain white background as long as you follow the guidelines for a passport photo and print it at the correct size would be OK.

Says at the very bottom:

Note: The cost for applying for an ID does not include the cost of photographs.

Yeah I heard that it was pretty bad in South Africa, pretty much anywhere where the colonials went they ****ed up.

South Africa's current president is also pretty bad.

Like I said in one of the previous Hang-Outs:
I can't get myself to eat fish, because of my zodiac sign being Pisces. Also, I don't know how to fish. Also, I don't have a fishing rod or something like that. Also, I can be patient enough until tomorrow, I can hold out for a few days.

Seven days, probably not a second time in my lifetime...

Have you read the post entirely?

An ID photo costs about R15

That's what my mother was told when she went to find out sometime in May 2012.

Ninja'd. And that.

I'd be surprised if the photo was free, I think that's the cost he was talking about.

Yeah, missed it at first glance. Post edited accordingly.

From what I can tell the HDI isn't all that bad, it's 123rd, that's around the midway point. Go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...an_development, there's probably a better list but meh.

The GINI is horrible, so low income, South Africa is ranked as an upper-middle income economy by the World Bank.[13] It has the largest economy in Africa, and the 28th-largest in the world.[14] About a quarter of the population is unemployed[15] and lives on less than US $1.25 a day.[16]

Erm I am Pisces and I eat my inferiors, MWUHAHAHAH! Anyway, fishing isn't difficult... it just takes some practice and lots and lots of patience.

I should probably feel bad about thinking "This again?" but I don't. Not really.

Sorry for that, but yeah, there's not much we can do from here. I feel sorry for you, but what on earth can we do?

People tend to miss a lot of stuff occasionally. It happens.
And the problem with that is because there's no camera. And a camera is even more expensive than an ID photo. Also, the printer doesn't print black and white, it prints a different colour and white. My father always messes the printer up when he refills the ink cartridges.
Unless I misunderstood this in some way?

Probably ignore me, or something.

Make note of the other African countries that are far worse off?

Send him 2 cents a day to help the one in need.
Yeah, it's in bad taste, but so appropriate here

1 and 2 cents aren't used in South Africa. Not since before 2000.

I hate that, "people have it worse", what and that's supposed to make the person feel better? Because it doesn't, if anything it just makes them feel like they are misunderstood and secluded, I don't mean to offend anyone but people use to say bullshit like that to me and it really didn't help my situation. Anyway could we drop this discussion? Because it's all depressing and I don't want to get on the forums and get depressed....

[deadlegion]

Make fun of the other African countries that are far worse off?
