So, you don't have a better answer then? Thought not.

Who better to determine it than our elected officials though?

You are clearly too stupid to see what my answer was ...

Those willing to learn with an open mind are not stupid, only those who refuse to teach with one

Your answer seems to be, not those in power, and not those sheeple who are corrupted by those in power, which is basically another way of saying 'me', which is basically another way of saying 'me' is an moron. But I may have misinterpreted you, hence why I asked explicitly; and gave you the benefit of replacing that answer with none...

True ..

and not those sheeple who are corrupted by those in power,

True ... but that is not the whole population ...

which is basically another way of saying 'me', which is basically another way of saying 'me' is an moron.

Not true - because I am not the only person unaffected by the state propaganda machine.

By the way - your English is crap ...

The people who get elected have proved themselves to be incapable of deciding what is in the country's best interest .. why would we trust them now???

But how do you determine who is? The answer to that usual boils down to, whoever agrees with 'me'.

By the way, that was the joke. I could put a picture in with a stick figure labeled 'you', and an object flying above labeled 'the joke' if you need it?

According to who? You and your chosen followers again? Sure, they don't make the right choice every time but I think "incapable of deciding what is in the country's best interest" is a bit of an overstatement.

Of course 'who decides?" is the question ... and no, I don't expect it to be me and the people who agree with me ... clearly, that would not be what the majority of people in Godzone would want ... what I am prepared to say i wrong is the use of the propaganda system by the PTB to brainwash people ...

And I sincerely believe that if everyone things like me then no-one is truly thinking ...

I don't have all the answers - I am quite prepared to say when I don't know and also accept when I am wrong ... I am prepared to put up my point of view .. but if people don't agree then hei aha ...

I have learnt over the years (after many years of participation) that politics is best treated as a spectator sport - and then only frequently ..

Then perhaps you should have said that 7 posts ago instead of posting some silly picture.

[FJRider]

unfortunately, you know it intellectually but, when in your late teens, your gut still thinks you are bulletproof "It'll never happen to me" - I can remember feeling that way, it was a while ago (I wasn't always as cynical as I am now).

I'm older ... now I just HOPE it'll never happen to me ...

I liked the rest of your post but you and I will have to agree to disagree on this bit; there are many, many reasons for political decisions but, from observation (unless our leaders are truly stupid) the one you've suggested is a long way down the list.

For the greater good of the country ... it takes no account of the individual.

Elected individuals make those decisions on OUR behalf. The mere fact you did NOT vote for these individuals ... changes nothing.

If you were an "Elected Individual" ... I might vote for you. It would probably be a wasted vote though ... (unless you plan to reduce the tax on alcohol)

If you can't see the relationship between 1,2 and 3 then your beyond help.

Remembrance Sunday is not just about WW1/WW2.

.

agree totally
BUT no point in remembering if we don't learn from what happened. I'll go further, I think we OWE it to the dead to learn from what happened.

I'd run on a platform of improving travel (better roads, higher (or variable) limits), graded driving licences (under my regime you'd need a different set of skills and separate class of licence to drive a 4 wheel drive)and

removing the GST from life's essentials ... I was thinking food but, on mature consideration, who am I to define 'essential' ?

you are fishing, aren't you

You want to try for a better answer than buffoonbuffoon did then?

MY thoughts ...

!: A Motorcycle as a compulsory first owned vehicle.
2: More corners on newly built roads.
3: Motorcycle ONLY roads implemented.
4: A separate class of license for hondas.
