It isn't a fun place.
I recall as a student being greatly concerned about damn near everything that was going on in the world.
It was kind of theoretical right up until the 1981 General Election and the Springbok Tour.
At that point during protests it came as a shock to realise that:

1. Not everybody was as right thinking as me.
2. Some people (people that included friends and family) were not open to debate or reasonable discussion.
3. Some people even wanted to do me harm on the basis of my beliefs.
4. Some of these people were policemen...

So no, having people trying to crack your heed is not a fun place to be.

That is the nature of democracy.
Some people may have trouble agreeing with me, but at least they understand me.
Maybe you should have taken advantage of more subsidised education, instead of coming across like an ignorant dork..

Having had a good read of KiwiBiker (therefore the world) diverse political opinions, one could be excused for reaching the following conclusions!

We appear to now live in a world where:

Doctors destroy health,
Lawyers destroy justice,
Universities destroy knowledge,
Governments destroy freedom,
The media destroys information,
Religions destroy morals,
Banks destroy the economy.

If this were in fact true:

Will anything change after the completion of the next election and the formation of a new government in our Aotearoa/New Zealand?

Or will it simply be, more of the same!

All we are voting for is a change of middle management.

that is why from now on I am abstaining from voting. and if the TV tells me to to vote well get fucked TV!

[Hinny]

The media in this country are heavy on the left really....Not really sure what you're insinuating, especially with all the proof you have provided to support your position? As for rigged polls....thats conspiracy theory rubbish.
We'll leave those sorts of fantasies out of this thread ta very much.

If you want to contribute to this thread....talk politics...not made up crap. Actual political debate!...not pointing fingers and telling lies..if you're going to make stuff up...tell lies...say money wins elections and crap...you really need to ponder the age we are in. Information is everywhere...we can see through smack talk from politicians in a instant. We can find the facts in a instant.
You also Need to ponder political history...I feel your position takes only selected facts on board and ignores the rest.

In saying that...please engage in debates...

Naive drivel.

The reason I vote is the same reason I'd punch a bear who was trying to eat me. It's futile, but I'm not going down without a fight.

Touche ... I have always tried to refute it or leave it alone but is always there in my face telling me that it is all true! Damn it!

What list is he on about?

Don't like lists, usually means I gotta do somethingI don't particularly want to do.

Now if we had someone like Penny Low the Singaporean politician, I would happily vote.

Didn't do too well at school eh? Allegory is a common form of story telling. It's used to illustrate a point, not make one.
