    Pike River

    Three years on, will they ever be bought out?

    I found this clip from the Dubliners. Pike River shows that not much has changed. This is simply a tribute to the men who have died in mining disasters everywhere.

    Why do the bodies of the dead miners need to be brought out? Particularly if doing so places the well-being of others at risk. Their families know they're dead and where they are, just as much as they would if these blokes were interred anywhere else. Retrieving physical remains won't bring anybody back. Let it go.

    We don't leave our dead behind just so it costs less to the ruling class that caused the problem in the first place..

    If it was your son or another member of your family you might think differently.

    But it's somebody else's,,,so fuck em',,,,right.

    Hitcher,,,I've always thought you were a cunt,,,thanks for the confirmation.

    So we should spend a shit load of money to take some bodies (bones by now) out of the ground so they can be put back in the ground?

    That's right,,,it's an old ethic that cocks like you wouldn't understand.

    Put it this way,,,if you and I were in service to our county and you were in the the shit,,,people like me would give our lives to save your arse.

    Not that you would put out if your arse was on fire,,,but I come from a different era when standing by your people ment more than how much it cost.

    This is something I have NO ISSUE with my tax dollars being spent on.

    I'm not sure if there are any bones left down there after the fires, however if there is anything left it should be recovered, if its safe to go down.

    it's not a case of Fuck em, there's no doubt more false hope and the mostly wasted headspace into thinking we're going to get going on. the familes etc really need to set this aside and move on rather than hanging onto something that has such a remote chance of happening.

    The company dug the fucking mine when they were making money from it,,,then they killed their own people.

    We pay out loser company managers with golden hands shakes,we pay out and prop up loser companies with tax payers money,,,,but we can't return the loved ones of our workers when the bosses stuff up,,,yet again.

    Fuck me you cunts are willing to sell out to anybody while you turn your backs on the very people that actually do the hard yards.

    Fuck you,,,you make me ashamed to call myself a Kiwi.

    that's a whole different story and a sad one, my focus is on the wellbeing on the people left surrounding this and what sort of false hopes, hate towards the company and the government and what it's doing to their lives now. It's been time to move on and live their own lives without this hanging over their heads.
    And dont get me started about fat payouts

    And yet you were on here boasting about all the tobacco you were selling etc. How do you work out the ethics on that then?

    BTW,did any of you self centered arseholes know that the bodies could of been recovered by now if the NZ pigs that really work for the man hadn't been in charge.

    Plus the gutless cunts actually employed a private security company to protect themselves from the familys of those lost.

    The head of that company is a personal friend of mine and his opinion of the NZ pigs took a major hit once he witnessed the gutless pricks in action.

    You want to talk cost,,,,the pigs paid out thousands to protect themselves from the NZ citizens they were threating with arrest for coming anywhere near that fucking mine.

    The lot of you make me want to chuck lumps.

    Now wait for scumbag to come along an tell us how he personally saved a cat from a tree.
    Should make all you "money" cunts feel all warm an cozy.

    Get the massive chip off your shoulder about the cops.

    What about the fact that NZ Oil and Gas (the major shareholder in Pike River Coal) voted against paying the NZ$3.4 million reparation to the victims' families?

    No blame attached to the guys who went and worked there on a daily basis? it was everyone who worked at that site responsibilty to make it safe not just "the bosses"
