Stupid World

[Voltaire]

should I have said " made popular by " ??

As for conspiracy ,By 2010, most people (above 50%)will be living in urban rather than rural environments. Poor housing, weak infrastructure and social deprivation will combine with low municipal capacity to create a range of new instability risks in areas of rapid urbanization, especially in those urban settlements that contain a high proportion of unplanned and shanty development.

and

it is likely that unregulated urbanization will result in future adversaries who have highly-developed urban survival and combat skills. They may consequently choose to pursue their objectives and conduct operations in sprawling towns and cities which will already have experienced endemic lawlessness and high levels of violence.

Urban Development is just a nice way of saying Battery Farming,makes getting you tax from you cost less.

My plan was to make it compulsory for all immigrants to have to live in ChCh, thus freeing up the motorways ( roads with more than 2 lanes)

for us Aucklanders.

Perhaps we could build a wall across the Bombays.

If shanty towns and poor urban planning in Brian World can lead to war...why is India not at war the whole time?

Bring in a Capital Gains tax as making $1600 a day just from a house sitting there doing nothing is madness.

Speculators and their cronies the Banks are ruining this place.

Where has there ever been high density "estates" that generated anything like the tax to pay for the subsidies involved in maintaining them, let alone building them?

So, change one barrier to living in Orks for another one?

Who decides who's let through this one?

Brian's World is a very special suburb of Stupid World. In Stupid World they invent fantastic theories to describe observed Real World phenomena. In Brian's world they use completely farcical theories to describe purely imagined phenomena.

Speculators are simply taking advantage of the local authority having restricted the market for decades.

So all immigrants off to ChCh it is then.

Seems odd that back in the day 'they' said if we want to be a first world city we need less sprawl, so they did the cross lease and lots of horrible houses sprung up in back yards.
Then there was a huge wave ( including me) who thought lets go to Aussie, many never came back.
So they upped immigration, now its nearly gridlocked and they are proposing more dense housing ( coups)
I was on crutches for a month recently following an operation and I looked at going to the office which is about 20 mins in the car, involved lots of walking, 2-3 buses and about $18 a day.
Only first world things I can see we have is heavy traffic and high house prices, only way you can get more wages is to change the type of job you do.

Because it isn't important
One picks things up from supposed reliable source.
You offered an alternative opinion one that seems creditable
And that is as far as that goes.

On more weightier matters the fact checking goes a lot deeper.

As deep as I have time for.

But it is important, Especially considering it is the cornerstone of a lot if not most conspiracy stories.
If this is totally false, which it clearly appears to be.Yet extremely widespread believed by so many.
What do you think that suggest about the conspiracy theorists that continue to spread it as being proof?
Also what does it suggest about the conspiracy theorist's in general, that they willing to pass off incorrect information as being facts, without either first checking it or caring, if it is true.

I can only imagine its a combination of the BOMAD ( Bank of Mum and Dad) and Low interest rates.

I'm not a mall goer but my Wife and Son are always saying how hard it is to get parking.

Saturday traffic is worse than during the week and all day, so the' money go round' is flat out.

It keeps me amused.

The IMF confesses it immolated Greece on behalf of the Eurogroup... how the fuck did this conspiracy theorist become finance minister of Greece.

What would it take to make Orks a better place to live? Seems to me a high speed public transport network would damned near do it. Get the commuters off the roads and expand the range new subdivisions can be built.

I'll take a completely unsubstantiated stab in the dark and suggest the council has wasted more cash in the last 20 years than would be needed to build it.

I thought u would go down that path
No it's not important
In its context, it was a quip which u offered a credible alternative
Which is just as questionable
Linking it to other ideas , and saying that the other ideas are questionable is fine. You should do that
WITH ALL news. Especially from Western media
As for people just believing. I would suggest that someone who proposed a different idea is more questioning that the people who repeat the western media without question
At the end of the day it's a personal responsibility.
