    Nah, he'd be better of as a nat. Peeps using statistical analysis to measure the health of the nation in order to excuse themselves from any societal responsibility for issues that are happening day in and day out in too many lives should be shot!
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    What, as opposed to dreaming up their own unworkable solutions in order to be able to say "not my fault"?

    lol... those dreaming up the real solutions accept their complicity, hence they are doing something about it. The rest of ya'll are sitting their with your thumb up yer butt praying that the numbers spat out by the propaganda machine show that the economy is growing and then rely on that tidbit of info to assume that all is well with the world. Meh, your choice, but inherently unsound.

    Seeing as we have only existing on this rock for 1/1000th of the time the dinosaurs did......at best.

    I agree with the rest of your statement though. Humans might be fucking shit up - but the place was doomed regardless. Nothing lasts for ever......even the sun has a clock.

    Todays episode on Education:

    Pretty eye opening stuff - especially tech wise. Can't believe how much its changed in the space of 10 years and the awesome stuff kids are doing in tech classes.

    I spent more time at high school helping the caretaker out with mowing lawns and fixing shit, so I kinda got them sort of lessons.

    Thought the education episode seemed bit wishy washy but at least the kids seem engaged which is the important bit.
    Our high school tried some experimental hands on stuff like that about 25 years ago. It all turned to custard though when some munter planted dope crops in the vege garden part and all the tools got nicked that we were going to strip an early Suby motor with...
    The ipads for Phys Ed seems overkill though...

    Think caretakers were gone by the time I hit high school, it was all outsourced. Primary school had one but apparently shoveling coal was considered too dangerous for kids

    The only thing wrong with our caretaker, was he smoked winfield and I smoked pall mall. He used to let me climb to the top of the incinerator to have a smoke, and that was an awesome view from up there.

    ...my year at a catholic high school was more about making sure the couple of homo teachers in black robes, didn't get, any, 'hands on', experience and perfecting my kick to the nuts to disable bigger bully cunts...and reading...oh, and figuring out how to disable the lights on the train before we entered the rail tunnel...there were a couple of girls who didn't mind being fingered, as long as no one could see...


    ...we also learned some basic fire fighting skills... the science blocks were about a hundred yards from the main Chch gasworks tank and the pressure on the shitty bunsen burner valves was far too great stop them leaking and filling the rooms...even on the coldest of Chch mornings the doors were opened by 7am and before we entered someone generally through a match in to clear up the residual gas still skulking around the desk legs...

    We used to visit Carmel college from time to time, which was a catholic girl school on Aucklands north shore, damn were those chicks horny.



    But then my wife found out and stopped me going.




    Nah, not really.
