The fascist regime that made you a moron: Thanks dJonkey

Meh. I voted for that Peter Dunn guy with the big hair once. The WORM made me do it as it said he would do great things. That was probably 12 years back. I don't think he has done anything ............. His hair has gone grey (as has mine) but he still has a full head (the bastard).

I have a theory that politicians start out with the best of intentions when first getting into the game. Somewhere down the track the reality of the boys club kicks in and they lose focus of their original ideals. Free flights, BMW's and fat wages can probably do that to you ........

Now don't u go upsetting oscar , that's my job
And as for ranting on the internet and calling people names . young Oscar uses the older style of vernacular unfamiliar to most of us but is right at home on kB. Currently he is working on opinions and if all goes well next year supported opinions

We should all support him in his endeavours

Style of vernacular?
It's called grammar and syntax.

The young chap in question is somewhat similar to your good self - he has opinion confused with fact.

Not to all - just most. Unfortunately it's the timeservers who tend to hang on for grim death, once they've got their hands on a bit of power - in all parties!

[Akzle]

Who should I vote for next?

1) don't vote.

2) vote no confidence in the system, just take a vivid with you and write "it's all bullshit, fuck the corporate world" on your ballot

3) winston will keep them honest...

You might have something, there. The fastest way to gut a struggling company of any value is to offer voluntary redundancy. The guys with any get-up-and-go do that, and the guys with little hope of anything else hang on for grim death. Do that several times and you’ve got a sort of reduced mixture of the most useless bastards in the industry.

Elections are a sort of never-ending cycle, producing the same shit, a super-saturated effluvium of concentrated incompetence.

My bad
I've got it now "opinion" is the stuff you back up with some sort of evidence , " fact" is the stuff that doesn't require some form of evidence,
But then there is the " third form " of the vernacular ( dictionary Oscar, I used it correctly)
This "third form " omits both evidence and the non use of evidence, and just uses colourful names. this is often referred to as spam .

NZ has the purchasing power of the toilet department at Walmart, anyone who thinks they are a leader of a first world country is in dreamland and will buy two jousting sticks for 180.... Or help Andy Krieger buy and sell short NZ money, then forgets ,he was ever in america at that time

I wonder how many in NZ (or even in this thread) have any idea what this refers to?

[BoristheBiter]

bring it on, dickhead.

If you read my first post, I hate politicians. All of them I dont care what stripe they are. They are not thinkers, they are not do-ers, they are not even administrators most of the time: they are self aggrandising horrible me-first and the gimme gimme types who I would not invite into my house for coffee or a beer.

Thats my fucking point.

bring what on? I asked you to clarify your point.

What s the matter fuckface? don't like some one disagreeing with you?
You're a lawyer thought it would be second nature by now.

The guy running the GCSB is an old friend of John Key. What could possibly go wrong?

There are more than three forms.
You seem to have a style that is heavy on hyperbole and conspiracy, yet light on information.
A sort of Winston Peters of the on-line forum.
Alas, not particularly original or clever, though...

Only the really clever ones.
You can tell by their tinfoil headgear.

There is a way to fix that but Kiwis are too lazy and unmotivated.

Personally it's because...

I'm with HDC on this.

I hate all politicians. But this one particularly.

"Law abiding citizens need not fear the GCSB"

"Don't worry, its only a shower"

"New Zealand (or as he would have it "NuZillin") technology has been sourced (or tried to be) for incorporation into WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION"

fucking. liar. If that last statement is true, are terrirists using powdered milk instead of C4? electric fence controllers instead of detonators? Maybe sheeps wool instead of wire.

I'll say it again: I think he is a fucking liar. IF any of that is true, then release the evidence you cunt.


Its been a bad morning. this isnt helping.

/rant.

NZ has been quietly slipping down this road for years. We have got so used to the quiet de-evolution of or freedoms and privacy, and the constant chant "only those that have something to hide have something to fear" has eroded the will of many to even bother resisting, as we just end up embattled by the ignorant.

The unfortunate events in Boston will just reinforce Mr. Keys ability to flick through another bit of the surveillance state that so much work has been going into.
