No he’s gotten himself in a position that will never happen again and he’s very proud of that . Certainly his application is to be admired but his chosen attitudes ? Not nearly as attractive nor as necessary as I think he regards them as , not here, not now . Why not consider them effectively redund...

Keys son developing a property on a once social housing site with his dads money and expecting applause was perhaps a step too far .

Eugenius

Even when I was without a roof and sleeping rough for a few weeks there was support from strangers and I could eat pretty well due to the Krishnas . Serious question mate. How did you wind up in this predicament? Turned up in Sydney . Got a job with a guy who was fixing up his terrace in Paddington...

Eugenius

Can I be itchy at least ?

Eugenius

Funny, weren’t talking about the past . This is a shitshow , with a sadly mediocre leadership . Worse than I feared to be honest . I wouldn’t be nearly as bullish if I were you , they’re all over the place making frankly incomprehensible decisions. This is about to get worse . Where’s their ‘substan...

Abort, it’s turned to shit, you can’t even get Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce these days, stay where you are I blame my vote (and your vote) for this state of affairs Jammy. I most certainly didn’t vote for the rabble that caused this situation. No you voted for Austerity & the leaderless mes...

Eugenius

No , the ‘nice’ community resists such anti social acts .

Eugenius

For me ‘Dog eat Dog’ is a very extreme description. Perhaps in utter poverty , in war time or violent revolution or at the very heights of industry ; I dunno . But even then - community and cooperation exists in slums , surviving occupations and disaster . Even when I was without a roof and sleepin...

Rilley has been calling out left wingers in the UK for their Anti Semitism for a number of years. She won a couple of libel cases against supporters of Corbyn. She has become more vocal and forthright in the last year. She was pretty dumb to make assumptions about what happened in Sydney before mor...

Mate, it’s a confused shit show .

This minister is abit of a worry , strange wee bloke .

I’m confused about his priorities.

Eugenius

It’ll cost billions and might be regarded as a last century solution .

Better spent on modern inter-island ferries I would think .

Given the end result , absolutely !

My living circumstances are perhaps an example of the dog eat dog world, who missed out so I could come here, there must be a finite number of people who are allowed into NZ, why me and not someone else. My very employment meant someone else had to miss out, maybe it was a kiwi who I took the job o...

Eugenius

There's no deflection whatsoever. I really have no idea where you're coming from here. You're clearly living a comfortable life in a country you rocked up to and took you in. How is that reflective of solely a dog eat dog world? Speaking of deflection, how about you answer that without deflecting t...

It being a dog eat dog world has nothing whatsoever to do with NZ’s world view and I think you know that. That was a terrible attempt at deflection. There's no deflection whatsoever.

And you accuse me of being absolutist, bit hypocritical of you

I don’t think you quite understand the term , where did I make an absolutist statement like you have ?

I usually qualify it, you don’t seem to .

Eugenius

Indeed.

Eugenius

Is there any chance you can take up fishing or restoring old cars or gardening or ultramarathons or all of these? Anything that will stop you stinking up threads will be fine. :lol: Good old Sonny "White Lives Matter" Blount. It was not me who introduced the racial bigotry. Nooooooo .. never . Just...

Aren't most mass shootings in the US done by home grown wacko white boys? Why not jump to that conclusion in this case? Or you know, wait for the facts before making an arse out of yourself. Well, because the majority of mass shootings in the US are carried out by Black Americans for one. Absolute ...

Eugenius

Frankly many in here regard you are abit of a‘nutter’ .

Go figure .

Eugenius

Don’t worry , I highly doubt you’ve been quite as censored .

Eugenius

I strongly disagree with this. Some cultures, dynasties, social constructs, political and economic systems, call, them what you will, tend to lend themselves to crueller behaviours towards our fellows. However, we are not inherently savages, noble or otherwise. There are plenty of examples of human...

This is all getting slightly weird .

Eugenius

Yeah I think that you’re right unfortunately.

Eugenius

I thought National wants us to be aspirational ?

Obviously not that way , too ‘unrealistic’ and utopian.

Eugenius

Poor bastard , was he the one that attempted to hit the attacker with a bollard ?

Eugenius

While you are correct in a lot of what you say, the graphic in question presents the ideal, not the reality . We are however inherently savages, there is no escaping that sad reality, how else can you explain all the shit stuff happening around the world. You don’t say . Jesus Jammy - :roll: Yes I ...

Eugenius

Just calling it what it is, human nature does not allow for that kind of aspiration to flourish, otherwise it would have. You like to live in a fantasy world I am happy to deal with reality. I strongly disagree with this. Some cultures, dynasties, social constructs, political and economic systems, ...

Eugenius

Your argument was extremely absolute and that is obviously what I was responding to . You’ve argued that anything but self interest and exploitation doesn’t exist with in ‘human nature’ , I disagree . Obviously I think you understand gritty , that’s why I was prodding . You think it’s fantasy land d...

Eugenius

This bloke clearly believes he’s in an intellectual position to patronise everyone from .

Eugenius

It doesn’t .

But remember this is a bloke that insists that there’s no such thing as society .

Eugenius

He’s had a lot of help, much of which was rejected .

But his violent upbringing doesn’t excuse his violent temper , at a certain point it does come down to character . He wasn’t mentally ill , so it really does come back to him .

Yet you live in Merivale why not Linwood? I don’t live in Merivale , I live in the central city. And hypocritically* I prefer a level of comfort compared to when I did live in Linwood let alone when was homeless whilst in Sydney . I remember you posting a picture of a house you were thinking of buy...

Eugenius

Not nearly .

It’s a bare C pass , you should meet some of the people I have . Phenomenal human beings.

Not zealots either just good people who are fun to be around , I wish I were 1/2 as kind .

And some of those helping others are extremely successful, whether materially or practically. Piss off Sonny . I’m not arguing that some not need to succeed do that others might have a chance , I’m arguing that it’s not Utopian to care for others . As a social Democrat I really don’t see the contra...
