If you are honestly attempting to say that ‘good intentions’ will only lead to this type of dictatorship ? That labour or the Greens would / could lead us to a similar place ? You’d be both paranoid and extremely wrong . Did social security turn us into a brutal authoritarian state , did the NHS lea...

Yeah it’s not flash so far is it ?

Eugenius

Yeah I’ve always found that a pretty ugly and arrogant argument. I most certainly don’t envy the very rich . Family that qualify say it’s often extremely stressful and some people are always after a piece . That and a disproportionate amount of their lives are taken up with what one cousin calls , s...

Spot on. Knowing that people out there are gaining happiness, wealth, health, shelter, etc, at another's expense and counting that as a perquisite to self-satisfaction, at least gives an insight to some peoples political thought processes. x( Thinking of it in racing terms, we might all be on the s...

I honestly think that the struggle to get ahead basically places blinkers on . So determined and focused some are that to appreciate this fact gets really hard . It’s more the nature of the game , hardly always a moral failing of the striver . The more separated we are the more distracted from each ...

Eugenius

Good post . To me it seems labelling the world as dog eat dog and effectively arguing then there’s no need to even attempt a more equitable society or better solution is remarkably sad . It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy Insisting that any efforts whatsoever are utopian pipe dreams and a complet...

Nooooooooooooooo …..

It’s kinda sexy , but just as it seems plausible it goes batshit stupid .

Robert Gabriel Mugabe (/mʊˈɡɑːbi/;[1] Shona: [muɡaɓe]; 21 February 1924 – 6 September 2019) was a Zimbabwean revolutionary and politician who served as Prime Minister of Zimbabwe from 1980 to 1987 and then as President from 1987 to 2017. He served as Leader of the Zimbabwe African National Union (Z...

Water off a ducks back mate At least we know you won't mind when you're eaten. Perhaps it will happen before Aotearoa is converted into Zimbabwe, as you seem determined to ensure. :lol: Zimbabwe?? you mean the country that was a forerunner for alot of Labour/Greens failed policies. What are your ne...

Quality television ?

I’m about to watch Shogun .

Now that there’s quality .

Also, should we really use Mary Sue for male characters? Maybe a Luke Skywalker or an Anakin Skywalker would work better? ;) (We need a fishing smilie). Man, The Americans drags on. Only at series 3 but it’s become repetitive and depressing. Does it pick itself up? Nope . It’s pretty rubbish actual...

A few of the extreme elements of the Knesset have actually supported targeting and killing children , perhaps to counter any chance of a near future generation seeking revenge . https://youtu.be/JBkNDNj05XA?si=EqXg3Jf2Gc5CZzLA https://www.timesofisrael.com/far-right-coaliton-mk-calls-israeli-killer-...

As I said I was young and it was summer , I coped .

Went over with $1000 which I was silly to think at the time was enough , so that was on me .

Dumb and naive.

But like I said ultimately I really do think it was good for me .

Eugenius

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 .

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...

Can I be itchy at least ?

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...

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 .

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...

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.

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 .

Indeed.

Is there any chance you can take up fishing or restoring old cars or gardening or ultramarathons or all of these?

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 ...
