Is John Key the man to lead NZ?

[Headbanger]

If you are identifying yourself as one of the plonkers that thought reasonable force was a satisfactory defense for bashing children then perhaps you could address the points and questions in my earlier post.

Get real, the one or two wanker lawyers who tried (and failed) to us that pathetic argument as a defense for there pathetic clients were grasping at straws just like you are by bringing it up.

Bashing children has been an illegal activity in NZ for quite awhile, and the anti-smacking bill addresses that situation in no way at all.

Notice how none of us are telling you how it is in the land of the slit eye?

Now, why is that do you think?

The Japanese have among their many admirable qualities a capacity for hard work. Many here could learn from that. I feel qualified to comment as I have dealt with many of them and still do. I have also visited Japan on business.

As have I Robert, and I have also had a girlfriend that taught there for 2 years, and while the capacity for hardwork is accurate, the Japanese also have a NASTY culture for bullying (physical and mental), both in the workplace, and school yard.

I lost count of how many times I had a train delayed due to suicide. (some distraught bugger jumping in front.)

....Which was replied to with a scathing comment, which was replied to with a scathing comment, reworded, which brought forth more scathe! About all one would expect, however..........

Is that a freakin Humber?

Technically they stole that from the germans.

Yeah/Nah.
NZ has some awesome qualities on the same note:
- Disregard for qualifications ("You haven't been here 20 years doing the same thing day in day out........")
- Multi-cultural, Racist, Sexist managment (yep even the white kiwis get told they are 'lazy')
- Poor HR policies (keep him there, get as much money as you can out of them......)
- Poor recruitment policies (its a business in NZ these days, on a par with london)
- Poor shareholder/stakeholder management (fuck em, take the money and run - nothing can stop us)
- We think we are bigger than we are (must be the best! or else your a failure)
- We can't fix things by brining them out in the open (school fights etc).
- Everything must be equal (even when it doesn't deserve to be).
......

The thing I liked most about Japan was how things got done quickly. We seem to drag things over the coals a million times. At which some point someone gives up and the other moves forward. Effectively same result. But Japanese way is "do as your told", our way is "We will give you the illusion that you have a choice".

is NZ really any better on that front??? we just tend to try & hide it, and rather than address the problem we just have a 20,000$ fine for crossing railways tracks nowadays, that'll stop them!

You missed the biggest one's

If you make something of yourself everyone will bag you and think you're a wanker.
If you work hard you must give it all away to the slackers otherwise you're a wanker.
If you own a business you must take all the risk and give all your profits away or you're a wanker.
You have to spend thousands of dollars to protect the stupid from hurting themselves.

On a flip note. I am not sure I want to meet a wanker who shares everything. Not a male one at least.

The above is true , very true but then that is in every culture , The Japanese also can be very racist, very , but then ,,
Ive lived an worked here for 11 years and I still don’t understand the depth of the culture but after asking a awful lot of questions to some very insightful people , I’m about 80% there,

This is why it can take over 9 years to learn how to pour a cup of tea, and why you will hardly hear them use a personal pronoun .......

Every culture has there good and bad points , ,,,,,

and some of the dodgiest pron I have ever seen !!!
