Kiwis=politically retarded?

[oldrider]

what gives one party the right to impose its values on the population?
some of you know where i stand, but it seems to me most kiwi's vote based on:

how their parents vote

with their wallet

by fear of change

by how everyone else votes

by what they think should be forced on all of us.

for fucks sake, someone please think when your voting and see the big picture and open your mind a bit, no matter which way you vote, we do not need the govt on our backs to keep this country going!

Simple answer: Because New Zealanders are conditioned by the Government sponsered education system to think and act like socialists!

In other words surrender their souls to the State.

Governments are tools of the people, socialists believe that the people are the property of the government. Tui moment here, yeah right!

Governments steal your money and use it to promote themselves and their own ideas to keep themselve in power and you let them do it.

Good free thinking post Carver. Cheers, John.

Large swathes of my late adolescence/early adulthood are missing due to the dubious benefits of 'the leaf'.

Obviously its illegal status at the time went a long way toward saving you from yourself, eh?



I offer for your consideration the idea of legal sales of alcohol and cannabis products to people aged 21 and over. (Lowering the drinking age to 18 was a shocking idea, IMHO.)

Intelligent policies along those lines could motivate a social shift away from a culture of teenage drug abuse. Goodness knows the system we have now isn't working.

Of course, one can never, in the end, save people from themselves. And some hold the opinion that it's better not to try...

Sounds like someone doesnt like the latest opinion polls. You think in any way NZ is any different to any other nation? We could be more like the US where you vote depending on

Colour of the candidate

Whose pro gun

Who is prettiest

Who is anti/pro gay

Who is anti/gay abbortion

Who wants god in schools

Who is pro war


Welcome to the real world.

[Marmoot]

No point in voting - they're all fuckwits.

If you don't vote against the worst fuckwits, you can be sure they'll be on the top.

I don't have a problem with those. I have a problem with government who tells me how much water I can use for shower.

[boomer]

I don't have a problem with those. I have a problem with government who tells me i need to shower.

Almost like being told how much salt you can have on ya fush and chups huh !!!???!!! Silly Wiggers

by fear of change

And wanting a change.

Also it's not so much how your parents voted (My parents never told me how they voted,or told me how to vote) but by your social enviroment as a young person.And that doesn't mean you vote the same as your peers - as we saw tonight,John Key was brought up by a solo mum in a State house,it didn't mean he wanted to stay that way.

If you were lucky your genes gave you a brain to think for yourself,and you can make your own decisions.There are blind plodders on both side of the camp - and that's the worst part,most can only see two choices....or one really,the one they choose.

Carver, you should have come to uni today. Winstin Peters was there, you could have insulted him on behalf of your mormon race.

mormon race?
you mean race into him on a pit bike wearing nothing but a mormon few t shirt?

or take him out the back and ram it into him with sidewinder to let him know what its like to be a taxpayer?

[Number One]

It's not apathy it's just that I don't find any of the candidates credible and don't believe any of their policies have been properly thought through.

In short, the political smorgasbord I have been presented with doesn't have anything that I like.

My thoughts exactly.

I feel as if I SHOULD vote - ya know to 'have my say' and all...BUT I don't want to give a vote to a party I have no faith in or respect for...and that's pretty much all of them.
My aim is to figure out who the lesser of all the evils is in time to vote!

[no-coast-punk]

Man... you guys are funny.

I'm moving to NZ because out of all the places I've been/heard about the Kiwi's have their heads up their ass to the shallowest degree.

Hell, at least you guys vote. More people there showed up to vote than stayed home over here in the US.

You guys also also legitimately have more than two parties.

Vote Morcs for PM.

That's a remarkably astute thing to say, Mr Carver.
Indeed we do not - the Gummint has waaaaayyy too many bureaucrats and hangers-on, and has passed way too many stupid pieces of legislation (as has local gummint). What we need is fewer bureaucrats, and fewer rules'n'regulations, especially of the social programming/manipulation type.
