What's happened to all the controversial and political threads?

[MisterD]

You are right. I do wonder though whether things go quieter when the Nats are doing rather more indefensible things like 90 day fire at will

Interesting that you picked both the actions I could actually give the goverment some credit for...I can defend that until the prematurely-induced cows come home....

Or worse, nothing in the face of an ugly recession.

I'd also argue that "nothing" is exactly the right thing to be doing - given that Labour put us into recession a full six months before the Global Socialist Legislation Induced Financial Whatsit hit...there's not much any government can do that won't actually make things worse.

We could be doing more to cut the deficit we're carrying, but you lefties would whinge like buggery if they touched any of your sacred cows like WFF or state "assets".

I'm sure after Labour wins next year we'll be back to having something to complain about.

Yeah, like being sucked into a parallel dimension without warning for a start-off.

I'm not partisan, I'm looking for an actual right-wing party to vote for...

Aye, the Nats coulda staved off the recession WTF!!!

BULLSHIT... there's plenty EVERY government can do, but they WONT.

We could. We could ask for NZ debt to be written-off, ya know, like they did in Africa some years back ... bet that would make a HUGE difference to the levels of service etc...

How's that workin out for ya

No, but we'd have been in better shape if we hadn't had Cullen's spendathon.

BULLSHIT... there's plenty EVERY government can do, but they WONT.

What, piss money up the wall a la USA, UK, Australia?...yeah I'll take the "nothing" thanks, I'm glad my boys won't be saddled with the debt that my neices and nephew in the UK are going be paying off.

How's that workin out for ya

Badly. I'm hoping and praying that the Nats will roll-out the "hidden agenda" that the :abour party promised us.

[oldrider]

socialists would do right by their fellow man wouldn't they? fuckin consumers and their gotta haves (me included)...

Some of the richest men in China are the communist party hierarchy!

Equality...... yeah, only some are "more equal than others"! (sound familiar?)

[oldrider]

John, mate, I think yu have a bit of a "thing" about MMP!

True and why not? Who are we going to give "permission" to form a government next year?

We don't have a clue what that government make up will look like, let alone what it will behave like!

MMP is a mickey mouse government by lottery scheme where politicians loyalty is only to those in their final mix of temporary alliances!

We really have no say in who they are or what they do, our only concious contribution is to vote them "out"!

[mashman]

No, but we'd have been in better shape if we hadn't had Cullen's spendathon.

so the money didn't need to be spent?

What, piss money up the wall a la USA, UK, Australia?...yeah I'll take the "nothing" thanks, I'm glad my boys won't be saddled with the debt that my neices and nephew in the UK are going be paying off.

I have a feeling you're in for more dissapointment along those lines... but it's only a feeling

Badly. I'm hoping and praying that the Nats will roll-out the "hidden agenda" that the :abour party promised us.

lol, how long have you been waiting

Revolting

[SPman]

Or "Made under Licence Premiun Beer" that comes into NZ as a powder with instructions to "Just add water".....

I hear there's a rumour they're doing that with Malt, now.............






(have to get Bretts attention somehow.....)

The Inuit say that the wolf keeps the caribou stronger.

I recently noted that many of the developmental disorders of the brain, like ADHT ADD AS whatever, are suffered by Europeans of white skin, rather than Chinese, Indians, Africans, Polynesians or South Americans etc.

I cant help but wonder if this means anything in particular or not, why whitey sometimes gets a brain developmental disorder, more so than blacky.

It's symptomatic of people with not enough to fully occupy themselves and who therefore obsess about trivia, like how their meat lived before it was lovingly hand-slaughtered by unionised labour earning more than the minimum wage, and whether their child's school should ban nuts in play lunches. Ask yourself why conditions like ADHD and ADD were undiagnosed 30 years ago.

the 3rd to last & last point on the poster aint really negative, less bureaucrats is a good thing, as for "climate change" being a skeptic is a good thing but calling him a one?. don't forget he's still pushing forward with taxing us for this religion.
