   As the favourite historian of the right wing, a confused Paul Moon backs living dinosaur Bob Jones over his disastrous and since deleted Waitangi Day column in the NBR.

   http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11990499

   Bob Jones is easy to dismiss and obviously a troll from way back (he even dares to compare himself with Bill T James), decades before social media was even a thing but Paul Moon is altogether a more dangerous item. NZ’s version of that Canadian crackpot pseudo-scientist, Jordan Peterson.

   But Moon’s not dangerous today, rather deranged. He awkwardly defends Bob Jones claiming it’s fine and ‘obviously’ a satire piece while blaming the NBR (not a satire publication) for running it. He then praises Jones for being provocative and ‘getting people to talk about the issues’.

   If there’s one thing Waitangi day doesn’t need it’s more racist, white, walking skeletons asking for Maori to deliver them breakfast in bed.

     ok, that explains the tweets I saw earlier talking about what satire is.

     Moon is a white man who thinks he knows about Maori History.

     Jones is a racist biggot always has been.

     “NZ’s version of that Canadian crackpot pseudo-scientist, Jordan Peterson.”

     So you don’t understand his viewpoints, or you disagree with him, so he must be a crackpot..

     His points seem very credible and his reasoning excellent in the following interview where he completely dismantles a channel 4 ‘journalist’ and literally leaves her speechless. Then again, as an interviewer she is pretty terrible.

     Would be interesting to hear which of his viewpoints you disagree with, he seems pretty well researched to me.

     Rich mans games, Elon Musk sounding very eccentric these days. Truth is he’s failing to produce anywhere near the number of electric cars he’d intended, and at much higher prices. We’re going to have to look to other companies if we want to switch to electric vehicles.

     Yip. When millions of taxpayer dollars go to corprate iwi entites and there’s still no lifting Maori out of poverty happening it does affect everyone. When jobs go to literal off shore slave owners because that’s how Maori choose to use their customary fishing rights that does affect everyone.

     There’s a lot of this demand for respect of our ‘betters’, of those given extra resources and rights over the rest of us, but all we get is bashed over the head by entitled little tribal dictator fiefdoms – there’s never any respect, respectful discourse, or reason to respect. Indeed I resent these dictatorships trying to invade our democracy – bullying people into doing what you want isn’t any way to make friends.

     I welcome improved perception and relations, I really do, but it’s going to be a massive uphill battle.

               Jacinda’s the lipstick, the Labour Party is the pig. Eventually the pig’s going to fart or something and people will remember the substance of the party they’re looking at.

               I /seriously/ don’t get how people didn’t understand the annology, is the left seriously that reactionary now that they’ll jump to the moon with conclusions?

   Bob Jones has managed to troll all those good kiwi citizens that for one reason or another have had a sense of humour bypass.
   • Muttonbird 6.1

     8 February 2018 at 8:42 pm

     The ‘only joking’ gambit.

     Trouble for that indecent dinosaur is that it wasn’t remotely funny, and there’s a peculiar look, even with attempted humour, to an old white property developer demanding brown people wash his car for free.

     Let’s face it, this is a facsimile of the tweet by that absolute crank, Sean Plunket when he supported Harvey Weinstein and trolled women and particularly women abused by achieving white men…and then claimed he was ‘just starting a conversation’.

     How did that work out for him?

     And if this was true (which it isn’t), then why does Bob get a column to troll “good kiwi citizens”, when “good kiwi citizens” (me, for example) don’t get a column to troll Bob?
     It would be exceptionally easy to troll Bob – just lavish completed justified praise on the writing of his younger brother Lloyd, while demonstrating what shallow, illiterate trash Bob churns out. Easy peasy.

   I see CNN America news eco knows they read his post is debateing Sport illustrated swimsuit limited edition this is a topic we need to talk about. Eco Maori view is if we want men to respect ladies we have to take the sex sell out of MSM out of all public viewing some mite call me out with the breach to my privacy but there is a time and place for most thing. I say that all media that exploits ladies beautiful body’s for that fact should be legerslated to be view in private settings away from the views of the mokos. And rated x what ever so one has to specifically look for that content. We don’t have to have this poking us all in the eyes where ever we look. This is what has to happen for equality for Lady’s and stop people treating ladies as sex objects. Ka pai

     Sex appeal is a broad range of things, to be comprehensive you’d have to have mandatory burqas, and probably a ban on laughing and speaking. Maybe even a mandatory unpleasent smelling purfume. Let’s face up to the fact that removing from view is never going to work unless you actually segregate society? And even if you do /that/, then what do you do with the homosexuals?

     No, sexual attraction is another emotion to be controled, like anger or joy it cannot be eliminated – only contained, only expressed appropriately if at all.

   RIP writer and Grateful Dead lyricist John Perry Barlow.

   Principles of Adult Behavior

   1. Be patient. No matter what.
   2. Don’t badmouth: Assign responsibility, not blame. Say nothing of another you wouldn’t say to him.
   3. Never assume the motives of others are, to them, less noble than yours are to you.
   4. Expand your sense of the possible.
   5. Don’t trouble yourself with matters you truly cannot change.
   6. Expect no more of anyone than you can deliver yourself.
   7. Tolerate ambiguity.
   8. Laugh at yourself frequently.
   9. Concern yourself with what is right rather than who is right.
   10. Never forget that, no matter how certain, you might be wrong.
   11. Give up blood sports.
   12. Remember that your life belongs to others as well. Don’t risk it frivolously.
   13. Never lie to anyone for any reason. (Lies of omission are sometimes exempt.)
   14. Learn the needs of those around you and respect them.
   15. Avoid the pursuit of happiness. Seek to define your mission and pursue that.
   16. Reduce your use of the first personal pronoun.
   17. Praise at least as often as you disparage.
   18. Admit your errors freely and soon.
   19. Become less suspicious of joy.
   20. Understand humility.
   21. Remember that love forgives everything.
   22. Foster dignity.
   23. Live memorably.
   24. Love yourself.
   25. Endure.

    Breaking… A court in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, has sentenced former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia to five years in jail in a corruption case.

    “Zia, the chairperson of the country’s main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), along with five others, was accused of embezzlement of funds meant for the Zia Orphanage Trust.

    Tarique Rahman, Zia’s elder son who is vice president of the party, and four others have been given 10 years in the politically significant case ahead of the general elections.”

    Corruption had been exposed via the Panama & Paradise Papers
