Stupid World

[bogan]

I never claimed I was being objective

Nobody else has claimed you were either

In fact...

Actually, it is a perfect summary; since it is an objective one. Your subjective waffel about how right you are is up to fuck all. It's why the stupid worlders and the conspiracy theorists fail time and time again; they don't understand how a rational mind works, so fail to effectively engage with them; leaving you shitters as the whinging minority you deserve to be.

...I called you out on it's lack a while ago.

Thanks for making my point

Students should be allowed to pay off their debts by selling a kidney, an academic said. (how long before this becomes a compulsory means of paying off your debts )

Earth 'could have had two moons' (what great minds we have... perhaps there were more than 2 ... In fact I reckon there were 4, because 2 just isn't enough to fit my model.)

Swede arrested for building nuclear reactor in kitchen (they took away his hobby and threw him in jail, poor sod.)

FTSE Loses £50bn As World Markets Tumble (priceless... the world and it's bankers confused and concerned over the unpredictability of the market and the potential for a double-dip recession... fuckin idiots)

Stupid world? - This thread looks appropriate for posting this information for perusal.

Seeing as husaburg tries to assume the mantel of KB posting policeman and accuse me of being a NAZI etc I looked up where the material on banks originated!

It came from here: http://www.wakeupkiwi.com/ take a look and decide for yourself if it is a site that you do or do not want to look at - rather than have him decide for you!

I have no association or attachment to the site whatsoever! - I just found it informative and interesting and posted it so that others could make the same decision for themselves!

Well you obviously read fuck all, John's posted/not posted that several times in the last couple of days.

At which point I read as far as: "Revealed – The Capitalist Network that Runs the World", had a wee yawn and moved on to more realistic endeavors.

It did remind me to ask if anyone has read through this yet, though:

Or for the time you need ACC, free healthcare, free education, state housing, a maintained roading network, huge payouts for Iwi, a defence force to protect your country, a police force to protect your neighbourhood. But I'm no expert.

Last time I checked they had not to help me with any of them. Is there a requirement that they must work in those areas before being put in the beehive?

If so I plead my ignorance - and politicians are in fact the salt of the earth.

New owners getting homes at affordable prices isn't going to reduce homelessness. Since homeless people don't have enough cash to rent, how the fuck are they going to buy?

Selling at cost will just end up with some private investment company getting fucking cheap houses.

Oh, and it's homeless in Auckland; hardly Godzone.

Houses aren't consumable goods, rent arguably is though.

Actually the point here is homeless choose to be homeless. Note that I am not referring to the poor, but the homeless.

There is plenty of places where they can seek shelter - and they know it. But they don't want to be in that system.

Talking to them about this is a conversation of great value. Homelessness is an interesting paradox when you ignore the the physical objects and deal with the person.

Yeah, because ACC & a maintained roading network just gets dragged out of someone's arse doesn't it, nothing to do with any decisions made by upper management.
I think you need to go & spend a bit of time in a country or two with a corrupt government, I have, but Voltaire would be better equipped to make some recommendations of places that you could educate yourself in.
Your view is as simplistic as assuming that the checkout operators at The Warehouse run the show.

The 'homeless' are just people checking out of society/matrix.

There is a pretty thick line between corrupt and utopia. I was (one of the many) guys/girls who made sure a few things happened. There are others on here.

It might surprise you to find many decisions don't happen in offices. Let alone big auditoriums in the beehive.

NZ structure doesn't exist because of 120 suits in a building. It exists and is maintained because the average kiwi gives a fuck how they and others live. Kiwi's have a great work ethic, we don't eat where we shit. I have been places where the average population does.

It's very easy to blame the government for all lives problems. But people are always the problem. The government is just a bunch of guys in a room.

I think we strongly agree on all the points you make there, regardless, I would rather not live in a country that is essentially a rudderless ship.
