Oh dear, Jeremy has to make public apology for "mumbling" that word

[jonbuoy]

Lol, the ripple effect is still being felt on radio in NZ - this morning on More FM Gary and Simon were doing a p't of the whole Beyonce, Solange JayZ lift thing. They read their "transcript" of the conversation in the lift starting like this: (older whitey man doing best imitation he can of fierce black woman) Solange snaps at JayZ "Ground floor, black man" ... and it deteriorates from there.

Now what made me laugh was not so much his bad imitation of fierce black woman voice, although it was pretty funny, but the fact that we all know what she reeeeeeaaaaaalllllly would have said would've been "Ground floor, nigguh" But, as we all know, no one will dare say the word any more in the public arena.

How 'bout that for flow-on??

Unless your black then you can say it as much as you want - if your black you can also make derogatory jokes about white people which we are not allowed to be offended by because we are all guilty- of being white.

A few questions...

What's a More FM? is radio still a thing? who are Gary and Simon (subquestion, are they gays?). I think Boncy is some singer right? who the fuck are Solange and Jays? (subquestion, are they gays too?).

You need to stay in more and play with your knob...(you know, on that stereo-y thingy in the room where the sofa is).

Of course if you are 2% Maori ( or thereabouts but 98% European or thereabouts ) you can conveniently be a Maori and denigrate the 98% of you that is European.

Its time we had politicians with balls and people with balls to say enough is enough.

And do what exactly? Stop money going to people who money will still end up going to? I keep hearing that sort of shit and simply refuse to buy it anymore, primarily due to it being a lie.

[Ocean1]

And do what exactly?

Stop giving money to parasites that haven't earned it.

From the budget intro: “The future cost to taxpayers of people who received welfare in 2012/13 will be $76 B by the time they exit welfare or retire. About three quarters of that cost is due to people who first received a benefit under the age of 20.”

To what end?

Sounds rather quaint...

100% kiwi, nuff said.

But yeh, special maori voting and seats is all pc gone mad, the more gcs like jc the people have to look to for example the better

[Ocean1]

To what end?

So you can take less from those that have earned it and give more to those that really need it.

Buying middle NZ's votes costs the minorities at both ends far more than is reasonable.

Because they earned it? All by themselves? As you well know market forces aren't what they appear to be and even if the free market existed there'd still be the same issues as the market would dictate "value" in exactly the same way as it currently does... unless of course it lived up to its name and was free that is. Monopolies will still be formed and any form of "legislation" that is implemented to the contrary obviously goes against the free market. What end does it serve to have a minority who have "earned" (questionable use of the word) what they have whilst leaving so many others in the gutter? I know you claim that those who have will invest, but it doesn't seem to be making a blind bit of difference. Seems like them thar folk working at Macca's around the globe ain't too happy either. As the guy from the Union put it (I bet that raised a smirk), once upon a time those sorts of service industry jobs where the preserve of the student and part-time worker (great excuse to pay shit money), whereas these days they're full time positions due to the lack of well paid work available.

Ahhhh politics... meh, that ain't gonna change any time soon. Easier to live at one end than the other though eh. Funny UK "statistic" (a stretch, but hey) 3250 people chasing benefit fraud worth $1.2 billion, 300 people chasing tax "fraud" worth $70.6 billion.

[Voltaire]

they had a similar stat here, guessing its easier for IRD to intimidate and prosecute poor people than 'lawyered up" rich and corporations.

I think Gary does enough of that.
Retarded, inbred, fuckwit who peddles a nasty biased wheelbarrow full of his own (deluded) agendas.

Why is the second fraud in quote marks? Is it just a number made up by plebs to suit their agenda?

The danger is it gives extremists power. A black comedian can get up on stage and crack jokes about white guys not knowing how to dance - a white comedian would be slaughtered for singling out a group of people based on race/colour. It's not like racism is exclusive to white people.

Ha...makes perfect sense. Shit should be illegal

For the same reason statistic was in quotes. It may well be a number made up by the plebs to suit their agenda and I guess we'll never fully know for sure... but as pointed out by Voltaire, it likely looks easier to pummel those who can't defend themselves and it'll appease the righteous entitlement brigade and reinforce the notion that they can get away with "fraud" and not be chased.
