ABSOLUTE POWER - The Helen Clark Years.

[rainman]

David doesn't mind. I know him.

I'm sure David loves you recycling his National Party spin lines... but whatever. I reckon it's poor form not to credit original sources, whether they're your friends or not. But Your Morals May Vary.

Talk about spot the lefty.

You say that like it's a bad thing!

I used to be a rightard, but then I grew up.

The fact that you're taking the moral high ground in a political debate and then using mildly abusive epithets suggests you have a deal more growing up to do yet.

Apologies for resurrecting a dead thread (but it's only been a day...). Came across this little gem w.r.t. Mr Wishart. Somewhat tangential to the original Helen Clark theme, but highly entertaining nonetheless.

Oh, and Finn, I hadn't picked up on it before, but fully 3 of the posts you made in this thread were straight copy-and-paste jobs from Kiwiblog, not just the one I picked up on in the first place. And no attribution on any of 'em. Tut, tut, poor form. Is independent thought not big among the "rightist morons"?

So as a lefty, you obviously eschew theft of intellectual property.
You may then wish to comment on our Glorious PM signing a painting that wasn't hers....

......I used to be a rightard, but then I grew up.

I know the feeling. I used to be strong Labour, but then I grew up.

You should have a chat to that Wishart bloke then.

Yeah, yeah I could be all responsible and pleasant, but where's the fun in that on a Thursday before the long weekend? The reaction's been fun... and besides - He started it, Mum! ("leftist moron", "poor lost soul").

My real politics are considerably more complex than Mr Finn may be open to consider, but nice simple left/right, red/blue loyalists are occasionally fun to bait.

Well, I think it sucks, but mainly because of the dishonesty aspect. IP is a more difficult topic, "theft" of which I don't think is "obviously eschewed" by the nominal left. More so the nominal right, I'd think, but not deterministically by any means.

What do you think about it?

(Shiver)... Ewww, why? Cf. earlier comments about hitting head into walls.

I can see how that could work!

Considerably more complex?


Your posts do a great job of disguising your complexity.
Kudos to you...

I think that dishonesty is rife in some measure on all sides of the political debate. However in this instances, I was merely reminding you of that old saw regarding glass houses...

Sadly, agreed.

However in this instances, I was merely reminding you of that old saw regarding glass houses...

Huh? Which glass house am I in then? Lemme see... Finn copied the KB articles without attribution, I pointed at some articles regarding Wishart but linked to them, thereby providing attribution... no, can't be that... scratches head.... dunno?

It's late, and the end of a busy week(let), you may have to spell it out.

[Finn]

I used to be a rightard, but then I grew up.

Let me guess... it was about the time that you gave up on trying. Basically you failed in life and fell into the safety net of the small percentage of hard working people in NZ. That's okay, we all fail from time to time but the difference between people like you an me is that you gave up... you settled for the ugly wife and the pitiful existence you call a life.

Well sorry buddy, I've got news for you and it ain't pretty. Look what's happening around you. This may be difficult because of your disability but you've got a small window of opportunity to be man a rid yourself of this illness.

Good luck and may God take pity on your soul little person.

Ha, love it. I've had a highly successful career with more to come, earn great money as part of the management team of a highly successful and rapidly growing business, have a fantastic marriage to a beautiful woman, and generally thoroughly enjoy life.

But never let the facts get in the way of a good stereotype, eh?

Typical loser lefty. Arguing for the sake of arguing and ignoring facts. David Farrars' website is the political bible of NZ and all you can harp on about is that I cut and paste from his website. You're the very reason I don't pay tax. Good luck post Sep 08.

Getting a bit defensive huh? You don't need to try to prove anything to us. Best you focus on keeping that non-sustainable job post Sep.
