Elections are coming up. What are we thinking?

[Ocean1]

It's a 950.
Seriously, if I had a 990, I'd give it to you, but whaddya gonna do....

Hit stuff. It's what I do.

[Woodman]

So what do you fucktards think Oscar should have done? Paid more for his education? or paid nothing?

[Oscar]

It wasn't a plan, it was yet another futile attempt to highlight just how stupid and unworkable every single policy really is when it is curtailed by a financial system. It matters not how you slice or dice it (i.e. structure who pays), it is doomed to failure. The stupidity is all yours I assure you.

So it's another futile theory of yours?
I get the impression you think that everyone else is wrong and you're right?




You might wanna check the dosage...

[mashman]

Might I just say: Bollox.

You don't produce people that make good decisions by educating them.

You make educated people by beginning with people who make good choices.

Get your causal links sorted.

bwaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa... read that in a book did you myopic morris.

[mashman]

If you're being generous with money that don't count.

One has to appease ones conscience somehow.

[Oscar]

If you're being generous with money that don't count.

I am generous with opinions.
I give them away all the time...

[Oscar]

One has to appease ones conscience somehow.

Some guilty secrets bothering you?
Unburden yourself...

[Oscar]

Hit stuff. It's what I do.

I've hit the ground a coupla times with my 950.
Sometimes it's hard to avoid.

[Brian d marge]

Hit stuff. It's what I do.

As a matter of interest how many people do you think actually deserve the income they have?

Most hardworking kiwi battlers

The ones meet day in and day out

You might wanna check the dosage...

It wasn't even a theory
You're the only one competing here.


If I have to listen to any more of your thoughtless tripe, I'll have to try something much stronger.

[mashman]

Some guilty secrets bothering you?

Nope........

[Oscar]

It wasn't even a theory
You're the only one competing here.


If I have to listen to any more of your thoughtless tripe, I'll have to try something much stronger.

I love this - you disown an idiotic theory banged out in the heat of the moment and then say I'm talking tripe?
Come on, give us another one - you can do it.
Tell us how Mr. Nobody is gonna pay for my degree...

In Epsom?


Remmers maybe?

Some battlers thereabouts...

[Brian d marge]

So what do you fucktards think Oscar should have done? Paid more for his education? or paid nothing?

Wasnt the point

But ideally free or heavily subsidized so that the costs of his education are not bourne by a few but by the larger community
Better for everyone in the long run

Gotta love that trickle down effect.

Money tipped into pokie machines in the poorest parts of Auckland doesn't come back to those communities in gaming grants, new data shows.

In contrast, the wealthiest areas gamble far less but take a disproportionate amount of money out of other areas. This has been greeted as proof of a long-stated but never-proven claim about pokies - that the poor get poorer but the rich get richer.

The Auckland Council research is behind a challenge to government plans to ringfence 80 per cent of pokie grant distribution inside large regional areas. Instead, it wants a special system for distributing pokie grants inside Auckland which will allow the poorest areas to benefit from money gambled locally.

The research shows the biggest pokie players in Auckland are in the Otara-Papatoetoe area, putting $274 per person into gaming machines.

The area also rates among the highest in the region on the NZ Deprivation Index.
Residents in Orakei, Auckland's least deprived area, spend $49 each.



Orakei gets a 152 per cent return on money available for gaming grants in its own area - meaning the money returned comes from other areas.

The most successful is the Albert-Eden board area, which stretches from Pt Chevalier to Epsom. It gets a 176 per cent return.

The Mangere-Otahuhu area had the worst return - community groups and other worthy projects picked up 22 per cent of the grants money available for distribution
