Ah "silent T' you're the man for me!

Here's a question for you,
Should people living oversea's be allowed to vote?
I'm not meaning those on a holiday but those that now live and work in a different country.

I think voting should follow taxes. If you not paying tax - why should be able to vote......your not paying for whatever random decisions are made.
(That means everyone in NZ would be allowed to vote because they pay GST, but would limit people overseas as to their voting rights).

You don't pay you can't play. Its the same rule with most of life.

But the big question is; voting on what?

People vote on assbook/NZHerald/Guilable brunton every day for many things....... so you might want to be a bit more specific. I think pay = play thing makes it a little simpler. Means people have vested interest.

[avgas]

I'm not going to engage for the sake swapping interpretations and or semantics for your entertainment. Too busy.

HA doesn't want to argue semantics but thinks everyone should vote.
I'll leave you alone there. Clearly too busy for the details.

[avgas]

his one vote would have changed the entire election.

Here is hoping he wasn't colour blind then.

Makes me wonder though. Are blind people the most thoughtful voters? I mean they can't see people or colours or logos or anything. So they have to go off what they hear.

I suppose reading would still bias them a little though.

Only to a weak minded fool. Next you'll be saying that because people don't vote they aren't allowed to complain.

Are you saying that I want to do away with democracy? If so, you may need to reexamine what you think you know about........ no, hang on, I realise that that simply isn't going to happen, you are incapable.

Well given that the current government is a democratically elected one...

There are more forms of government to try... including none at all. Ideally skipping from the current government model to no government model would be perfect.

...and that you want to do away with it I'd say I'm not the only one incapable of fathoming what you're thinking about.

Demonstrably inferior because you don't believe that people are capable of changing their minds. That sir, makes you the fuckin idiot. No, it's not a good thing at all and I want to know how insignificant that minority is. I'm not moronic enough to believe that this is as good as it gets.

But you are moronic enough to think that denying you said something constitutes sound logic. And insignificant enough that any silly names you call people tend to cause far more humour than angst. So be a good chap and fuck off and earn some small aspect of your miserable existence for a change, eh?

Now worries, I'll have been fed so much kiwi shite by then, I'll taste "normal" to ya

Here's a suggestion......if you think it's kiwi shit, fuck off back to where you came from

just sayin

... A system which in fact represents a workable negative feedback control loop.

Something that the practice of allowing an increasingly parasitic element a say in an economy they're only ever going to damage is not.

Only the ones who vote. The rest raise concerns.

I am where I was born. You're the one identifying my earth lineage as something different to your earth lineage. Division by border. Remarkably stupid.

Well given that the current government is a democratically elected one...

I didn't say the system of how government is chosen needs to change.

...and that you want to do away with it I'd say I'm not the only one incapable of fathoming what you're thinking about.

Only one of us is thinking here that's why... and it ain't you.

But you are moronic enough to think that denying you said something constitutes sound logic. And insignificant enough that any silly names you call people tend to cause far more humour than angst.

You translated what I said in a way that you decided I said it. Your logic flaw, not mine. I'm glad those names are received as humourous, it means that you've finally understood something that I have said, ergo, there is hope for you yet. Artichoke.

You have yet to say much else, in fact bleating and whining is about all we get from you. And yet, now apparently you don't have a problem with how the current system works. You've got to be the largest single source of self contradiction in the history of fuckwitdom, congratulations and fuck off.

Only one of us is thinking here that's why... and it ain't you.

Call it what you like, it changes whenever you decide you don't like what you've just said and it certainly isn't the product of any thinking on your part. Whatever it is I'm somewhat pleased none of it's attributable to me, it smells like shit and it's certainly sticking to you like shit.

I didn't translate anything, I just posted one of your wee rants that happened to precisely contradict another one. The fact that you can't see that is entirely consistent with your ever changing beliefs.

You seem to be switching the system that elects a government and the system that a government operates under interchangeably. Silly boy.

words cannot describe the epic fail... oh, they just did.

That you can't differentiate between the contexts is amusing. Thanks for that.

The fact that you speak with forked tongue is also amusing. You could be a politician

see what i did there?
