Asset sale protests!

[mashman]

The politics of envy are alive and well in NZ. I personally have no problem with anyone becoming a ''rich prick'' Providing:

1) They do so legitimately

2) They dont rip anyone off

3) They do something that is productive for the country and carry people along with them, as opposed to making money out of speculation. ( on that score I am at odds with John Key but he is still on balance better than the alternatives )

4) They invest back into the local economy

and 5) My pet hate, that they dont get preyed upon by all and sundry for a ''free lunch'' I.E ''let him pick up the bar tab, hes got the money"' ( and I took advantage by ordering more drinks )

So you're envious that

1) People can get rich illegitimately
2) They rip people off whilst getting rich
3) Sociaites spend daddies money on paintings, cars, boats, parties etc... that service only high end business (are they really that serious about suspension?)
4) They've squirrel between 21 and 37 trillion dollaroonies in offshore accounts
5) They spend their money how they want to

hmmmmm... I'm not convinced that your list provisions is entirely based on good honest values there

[mashman]

So why does it seem that the country has fell in love with this "rich prick" when they hate all others?

Do you know everyone in the country personally? or is this just more of your propagandist bullshit?

Yes I do know everything about everyone, I thought you would have known that by now.
This is KB after all.

If you don't believe in money, how will you pay the ferryman?

I'll do his job instead and he can go on permanent vacation as he has Hades day... if that pic is anything to go by, it doesn't look like a bad gig and I could do with losing a few pounds.

If you can't pay Charon a coin, you must wander the banks of the river Styx for a hundred years.
In your case it may be that you are doomed to post here about currency reform for a century...
...no, wait a minute....that would be a punishment for the rest of us...

ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaa... Hell on earth eh. I always figured I'd be more of a toga guy hangin with da big G instead of beach combing for a century before having my arse smoked by da big D (more commonly known as JK... the mere thought is more than my stomach can bare)

[BoristheBiter]

I would say yes but I am greater than both of them as I exist.

more propagandist bullshit eh... they're both one in the same person and currently wearing a blur tie and offering gifts to the good capitalist boys and girls

Well I thought my comments would be pretty agreeable to anyone with a sense of fair play, but the nature of your response speaks volumes about you having an argumentative disposition.( and doubtless you will argue about that ) I am in no way envious of such people, conversely I am in awe of people that accumulate wealth through success that actually does something productive and employs people

you are not wrong in that last sentence , and have that kiwi sense of fair play , ( to which we all agree) BUT the current hot topic in america on the talk back radio , is how much these wealthy people are A; paying themselves , B; where is it , and probably the most important ,,The vote buying and hiding in offshore accounts

they have estimated that the national economy of JAPAN ( makes NZ look like a homeless beggar ) is offshore and non tax paying ,,,,and MOST of the big names are involved Mit Romney etc

The problem is you have a kiwi sense of fair play , others in this world don’t, and they have quite a few more dollars than u and I , and if they can make a few percent , THEY WILL

times have changed ,,,,,sorry about that , it wasn’t MY idea

I'd love to believe that what takes place in this day an age is fair play, but I don't. My response was 90% "troll" (you must see the irony of posting a list of acceptable moral terms and conditions when talking about money?) and 10% truth. I'd apologise, but I see no reason to do so. I find it funny that people label me argumentative, as that highlights a certain ignorance. Not saying that you're ignorant, but like yourself I'm merely voicing an opinion from my perspective, based on my "moral" values and that opinion looks to be at odds with your opinion to a degree. Have it your way, I can't change the way that I am perceived. I'm not in awe of people who accumulate financial wealth. They eat, shit, and fuck like the rest of us, what's so special about "earning" lots of money? Some knowledge that someone else doesn't have and is valued by someone else somewhere as a great money making skill, and a bucket load of drive? I have knowledge and drive, as do many others... So why does the amount of financial wealth I "earn" diminish my effort? I should be in awe of these people because they have more money? Essentially that seems to be what you are saying? As for the purely financial side of things. Knowing, yes actually knowing where money comes from and knowing, yes knowing again, about the damage it has caused to billions of lives does not scream of fair play to me, morally or financially... but apparently that's ok for some reason. Not for me. Not anymore... and I WILL defend those who get fucked over by a financial system that has replaced morality as the #1 is the lives of a minority. So yes, I'll argue that I'm not argumentative from the point of view that I just like to argue and that I put forwards arguments that from my perspective. Entirely up to you to believe what you wish.

Then you're proper fucked then.

heh heh heh... it would seem that way eh
