[matilda] What's wrong with Matilda? Re: "non commercial clause" (was)

[Amparo P Gutierrez]

So you would discriminate between unskilled and skilled jobs.
What would i do if someone pulled a knife on me, you asked.
Well i don't know and don't bother, 'coz otherwise i would have 
purchased knives or guns a long time ago: i am a pacifist at all costs 
you see, nobody can sell me the idea of violence versus violence... ergo 
that to fight a hypothetical violence you need to hire security. or in 
Latin "si vis pacem para bellum" .

So , what's wrong with Matilda when nothing is seriously wrong?

If you are interested, let's begin by looking at the thread "Matilda's 
non commercial clause" at

Not necessarily. Cleaning is an unskilled job that any of us can do if
we get our Rses in gear. To hire someone to do it is pure laziness.
Whereas it could fairly be argued that security is a skilled task
requiring training to "handle yourself" in difficult (i.e. violent)
situations which many of us may not feel prepared for. What would you
do if someone pulled a knife on you?
