We need a common enemy. The NZ public are to docile, everytime we 'attempt' to push something out we fail.
Anitsmacking bill,
Tougher sentencing.
We need riots on the streets, chaos needs to erupts, good people need to be killed - before any of us will act.
We have no Taliban, No cults.
Our idea of fighting for freedom is to look at titties on queen st.
Those that do put ideas out there that the Government is fucked are considered radicals.....yet everyone has the same thought in the back of their minds.
Would the country run better without a government in NZ, No - because we are allready zombies who need a master to slap us around.

yeah, anarchy and war, thats the answer

Why just label the Exclusive Brethren with that tag? It applies equally to Cahtolics, Protestants, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, etc etc etc.

Thanks Kro. I've added my voice to the petition.

oh definitely....
it was simply that the brethren are the pertinent party in this situation; their covert funding of national's election advertisements, etc....

We are owned by the government and their departments, they just let us think we have a choice

Right now we are sitting bottom of the pot, why?
Last time there was a decent fight was when the country was claimed.
People find the all black spiritual, religeon is on all the 'expensive streets', land prices are sky rocketing, healthcare is decreasing, the police have become reverse-ATMs, you have to watch yourself around your kids.

really? cool.....always wanted to being a serf....but can i be ambivalent rather than benevolent? and maybe a little apathetic and lugubrious as well?

Does it mean a BRONZ protest ride would be illegal?

You can be anything you like as long as you ask the governments permission first and dont support in anyway those that oppose them.

BTW I have to thank you for a new word, for me. I love it and am already thinking of in which situation I can use it.

lugubrious

mournful, dismal, or gloomy, esp. in an affected, exaggerated, or unrelieved manner

Comrade Herr Heilen et al are just showing a little more of their true colours. There is a fine line separating the far ends of the political spectrum...if viewed as a circle

Since when does the government listen to us anyway ?

E.g. The harsher sentencing referendum ?

The apathy has resulted from years of not being listened to. The Gov't of the day does what it wants. Labour have become too comfortable in their position to the point of arrogance - and Helen takes the cake.

The Brethren didn't covertly fund National's election advertisements. They ran their own pro-National, anti-Labour campaign, but didn't correctly acknowledge who was behind it.

And citizens' initiated referendums are a crock. I recall posting on this matter at least once before.
