    What? Read the FAQ? That's like reading the manual. Real men don't read that sort of thing....
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Defence Law and Police.

    Local body governments should be brought back to their basic functions too.

    Rubbish water and sewage.

    Everything else should be run by private enterprise.

    Taxation should be able to be justified or abolished or voluntary.

    Personal responsibility and accountability should be the rule not the exception.

    Politicians just bullshit everyone that they are "Rocket scientists" and are indispensible to us all.

    Reality is that they are just full of bullshit and want us all to pay for them.

    Well, they don't bloody well fool me! John.
    So ... local government will deal with rubbish water and sewerage, but only if the private road owner lets them? If indeed the land owner feels like building a road in the first place? And letting the council workers out of their houses (onto the above road) in order to go to work?

    Or are you reluctantly going to allow a bunch of evil laws to make sure those things can happen?

    So many men, so many opinions, I simply shared mine with you!

    At least at this stage we are still free to exchange views.

    Under this regime how much longer will that be the case.

    Are you familiar with the "advances" they have made with the new education curriculum?

    Is it about education or brainwashing and conditioning of the majority?

    Should the government really be involved in education?

    New Zealand is a socialist country because it is populated with majority socialist thinking/conditioned or dependant people.

    Most of the freedom we have is the freedom we are given.

    We can then choose to be a "red" socialist a "blue" socialist or you can be a bit more radical and choose one of the sprinkling of "minor" socialist parties, they pretend to offer us as free "choice".

    Socialist bureaucratic bullshit is ruling our lives and the noose is getting tighter every day.

    The nice part is that they still let us think it that we are free to make our own choice so they call it democracy, yeah right! John.

    At least there aren't any movements to introduce religious dogma to public schooling like the creationists in the USA. That's seriously scary stuff!

    Democrazy [sic] is a beautiful ideal, as with all ideals however, the flaw lies with the world not being ideal and humans being greedy, corrupt and egoistic.
    The old quote that "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all others that have been tried." is very true I think.

    In the end, running a country is probably not that easy. Nearly everything decision will be a trade-off or a compromise of sorts. If there's anything I think anyone should be fighting for it would be the freedom of expression.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    Great!

    I hadn't seen this thread but I'm pleased somebody has picked up my link to the website and run with it.

    As I noted when I first offered it, many people will be surprised at where they fall and this is largely due to false understandings of the philosophies of political parties due to propaganda.

    I'm well left and liberal (socialist)

    As I suspected, the loudest mouths seem to be of the right/authoritarian persuasion but when a general poll is conducted, the overall makeup of people here is more left/liberal.

    That equates well with the silent majority of reps I receive and indicates that most here just can't be buggered dealing with right wing fascist propaganda as spouted by the few.

    What else is funny?

    Despite so many whining about Labour's so called commie policies; Labour is MORE right wing/authoritarian than most respondents. They are however, the closest thing we have to a centrist party at present.

    Personally I'd rather see the back of Helen; she's been in power too long and I think it's gone to her head.

    That's the danger with any politician of course and the worst abuse is always from authoritarians regardless of their left/right leanings.

    You feeling alright? That's TWO things you've said of a sensible nature...

    Sure, I've never said I support Helen.
    In fact I've said many times that I DON'T vote Labour.

    Trouble is of course, far too many just see red and don't see messages

    and Bush and Reagan and Mugabe and Pol Pot and Pinochet and Mahatir and all the other authoritarian abusers who have screwed the world over and delivered us a world full of trouble instead of a world full of understanding and compassion.
