Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement

[Katman]

those opposing it wouldn't seem to have a combined disposable income sufficient to fund a run of said Sinage/T shirts.

Are you basing that simply on the two that you saw today or on the huge number of New Zealanders who are passionately opposed to it?

[Akzle]

and you know they were unemployed.... quite how?

Maybe because they weren't working at the time and obviously hadn't shaved or washed might be a clue ?

Happy to protest against a trade agreement but not too happy to actually get out of bed, have a wash and go and find a job

Then they can contribute to the economy and have a rightful reason to complain.

Rather than just continue to bludge off the system , without giving anything back. Wankers.

for someone who's entire basis for supporting something stems from his perception of a group he's prejudiced against's opposition to the same, what you think is "obvious" is more likely "fucking irrelevant"

also, the unemployed are doing a mighty fine job of balancing the books and keeping inflation down for you.
your welcome.

If the message on the signs had been a little more eloquent it may have helped raise the profile of the opposed.
I'm very unlikely to engage with anyone on any topic where the slogan is neither intelligent nor polite.
You guys should be right ticked off with these clowns for helping the cause look like its backed by a bunch of uneducated drongos. It's not a good look.

The chanted slogan was "Take People's Power Away," which is actually quite clever.

ive been srs all along.

my definition of "job" is a "public performance for private deceitful gain". as such, i abstain.

So they should all wear suits and wear placards saying that they're miffed at TPPA, and that a secret court gets to decide where taxpayer money goes when the country decides that it doesn't want what someone is selling, but is told by a court it must import it and sell it anyway? Other than being one hell of a mouthful, it won't really fit on a placard very well... and would also hide the suit.

So....you're a dole bludger, leeching off the system. Plenty to say but not prepared to help out.

And I work to support your waste of time for a life along with most of the blokes on this forum who are hard grafters.

I get what you are saying, but yeah a bit of effort in appearance does go a long way. Be honest with yourself and think about it.

Oh I get it, especially as it has been so very well demonstrated by some of the post here. In other words, because of how someone looks or how the human being next to them looks, the reason for the protest is irrelevant. Have you any idea how really really really really really really stupid that sounds? Be honest with yourself and think about it.

i dont bludge, nor dole.

But nice little tanty there.

If your work is hard, your not smart. There's even a cliche about it.

And your doing a pretty shit job of supporting me.
All in, your a failure as a human.

methink you're asking a bit much of them folk...

What about the hard grafters who agree with Akzle's point of view? They do everything you say you do and likely for far less than you earn. Or is that not considered hard graft because otherwise they would earn more?
