Referendum on Asset Sales

[Akzle]

You should vote, at least that way to get to vote for the lesser evil.

thats just fucking stupid.

But lets have some kbmocracy. Should i go to chch and hit smokey with a baseball bat, or a broom handle?

You get to vote too smokey. Probably choose the lesser evil, but either way, you loose, innit.

If you're planning on hitting him upside his head, I think you're wasting your time.
His posts here would suggest that there is little or nothing functioning between his ears.

Add a "kick him in the nuts" option.

That's irrelevant if the courts are reluctant to send criminals to jail in the first place, and powerless to keep them imprisoned for any significant length of time except for the worst offenders. How many times have you read of career criminals ruining the lives of innocent people, just to be given a pathetically weak sentence so they can do it all over again? If JK and his party were anything other than a bunch of lefties, they would at least take this problem seriously rather than sweep it under the carpet and pretend it doesn't really matter. The fact that they're taking the whole "4kmh over the speed limit" thing so seriously should make it obvious where their priorities lie. It's obvious revenue gathering.

New Zealand is predominately a left wing country ... true right wing politics and thinking is practically void here unless imported!

The power of the State over the individual is brainwashed into the populace from the cradle to the grave.

I disagree.
Even the Labour Party and Unions have a very strong conservative element in respect of moral and social issues.

The Govt. owes NZ$60B.

Why?

I often dream of the day that people would stop lending the governments money. It's like giving your gold card to your ex-wife.

So which would you like, eat shit or drink piss.
I will keep a stockpile for you.

Or perhaps there is a third option?

[Banditbandit]

You don't own it, or a even a share of it.
You probably never did.

The Govt. owes NZ$60B.

And whose fault is that??? The National Government have added to the debt - not reduced it .. and now Key has his only answer - sell something ..

If you don't vote at all on the referendum then Wankey will say that you are happy for it to go ahead so didn't bother to vote. If it fucks you off then you should at least vote one way or the other, so then it will be more credible & less likely spun by the polliwallies because imbeciles don't get their shit together.

I didn't vote .. this fucks me off on so many levels I refused to participate .. I gave my voting paper to my wife and said "do what seems appropriate with this ..." I'd have dropped it in the rubbish bin - I think she used it to add another NO vote to the referendum ...

Except it's not really anything close to right wing. ..., and the crime rate is out of control with nothing done about it. That screams left wing to me.

Haven't you seen yet that the crime rate is dropping ...

i only wish the government would take my ex wife.

Preferably the government of abjizzerstan.

That is so true .. and now the state will help peopple get digital TV through the targetted assistance programme .. they will PAY for people to have their propoganda system pumped into people's houses ..

...

The debt stretches back generations.
Stop lending would be the first option, but selling stuff we're paying interest on is also a good idea.

[Banditbandit]

And selling stuff that earns us money is not ...

If every country of the world is in debt ... to whom are they in debt? ................................... and why?

[puddytat]

What! Like selling your house mortgage.....or your Chattels you have on H.P? :wink:
I thought that private debt was a bigger problem.
Should be that you can only borrow the percentage that you'd pay (i.e. 6%) of your deposit.

I have no idea mate - I'm not an ecnomist - and I don't beleive that even they can answer the question ...

The economic system is a man-made thing and has no natural laws ... only human ones (whoch are open to question anyway) ... it should be at the service of people - but we have become servants of the economic system .. which currently is a capitalist one and serves the purposes of the dominant elite - the capitalists ... aded and abetted by wide boy traders like DonKey

We are in debt to our children.....& its because we are trying to keep up with the Joneses.
