How much debt have John and Bill run up now?
What, the lie that the nats have an actual machine?
If you value these longer, more thoughtful discussions about politics it's probably worth emailng rnz and letting them know you wouldn't mind hearing them all year round instead of the usual "paid lobbyist vs I-agree-with-the-paid-lobbyist" bullshit.
"receive the same level " of what?
Sooooo......10 billboards this time?
The astute reader will notice that Gosman only wants to discuss what capitalists say while others are discussing what capitalists do.
whoosh
The point is that trying to argue that groups like Unions should have more rights to lobby than businesses is going to open a world of trouble. If your effort so far on the topic is an indication of the scope of this "world of trouble" then I think we're ...
This from someone who appears to reject the very existence of time: "Why would the Chinese, Mongolians, Russians, and Kazakhs start producing milk if it isn’t profitable to do so at the moment?" Amazing.

"Meh, people say the same about Pete George." Citation needed. i don't recall anyone say they "enjoy" Pete's "view."
Quite a talent you have for focusing on the least relevant words in a conversation and taking them out of all context. Anyone would think you're doing it deliberately.
"If we allow that the essential aspect of the Divine is that of the Creator, and given that there is only one observable reality, obeying one set of coherent, consistent laws – then logically there must be only one God." But why should the creator be bound...
i don't know what my opinion about god/s has to do with hitler's opinion about himself. you do realise i'm not hitler, don't you?
Dunno. Maybe it's because he didn't write the comment.
Nah, he cast others as devils. His role was the omnipotent omnipresent god.
Or anyone who makes himself into a god, really.
Thank you Puddleglum, very well explained
I have trouble understanding the whole "confidence that New Zealand is heading in the right direction " bit in these polls If I were asked, and I thought Labour and the Greens were looking likely to be the next govt, I'd probably say the country was ...
Sorry Bass Guy, but Labour are not the police in your analogy. There was no possible course of action Labour could have taken that could have stopped the bill being passed. However much you wanted Superman and the Hulk to save the day, there were only two ...

He does look pretty stupid, like Andre the Giant but without the physical strength or convincing acting ability
Don't say "the Cunliffe", that's what chris73 calls him
Hey Wayne, why do you have a problem with working people being paid well? How much did you get paid to sit on your chuff in Parliament? More or less than someone doing actual work, like fixing your car or cooking your dinner or cleaning up after you? Why ...
No, YOU talked about dirty habits He responded by saying he DIDN'T consider it dirty, and went on to list some other things he also didn't consider dirty Context is everything, Al1en, but I suppose that's no fun when you're deliberately trying to ...
But he doesn't think they're bad You do
