     Agreed.
      
     “But what’s a Leftie to do?”
      
     Um, make a complaint to the Broadcasting Standards Authority? Ask a lawyer for an opinion? Target TV3 via blogs and other social media? Given the role the worm played in the past in changing election results, this is a seriously fucked up thing to be happening.

       You can ring TV3 on (09) 928 9000  and tell them what you think (I said that I think it’s anti-democractic because they’re selecting from a very small demographic of people who can afford smart phones). Apparently feedback goes to the news team, who according to the call centre made the decision to use the phone app worm.

   The most rorted poll in NZ is the Horizon online poll – surprisingly this favours Winston First, Conservative Party and to a lesser extent ACT and ‘unfavours’ the Nats.

   This suggests to me that these type of polls are rather easily manipulated by small numbers of people.

     The horizion poll shouldnt even be called a poll. Its so out of sync with every other poll.

     Why is it a rorted poll??? Oh because unlike all the other ones this one is done on the Web, so you will get a more varied spread of the population. Unlike the others that only use a LandLine and a rigid list of questions.

   I thought the bias would be with Labour, young college/high school students would have these.

   Quite ironic that all you guys that hate america and capitalism would be using this to help the worm vote for a party that is against it.

             Fuck you’re stupid.

             Because teaching history without hiding all the shit the USA (and other powers have pulled) has done is somehow “anti-american”.

             Also, to teach a high school subject you have to study various uni papers, not just solely study at a teachers college, and indeed the norm is for people to go get a Bachelors at uni or higher (one of my chemistry teachers was a PhD student, and Croft had a MSc in ecology), then do a 1-2 year course at teachers college. So frankly, once again you’re shown to be utterly ignorant.

             So fuck off back to making vaguely authoritative noises about sports, where at least your target audience can’t tell if you’re full of crap or not.

     Hey Brett, didnt you get born in a socialist maternity hospital, go to a socialist public school, play sport on a socialist council owned sports field, and get brought up in a home paid for by either a socialist housing corp mortage or a mortgage with a socialist state owned bank?

     And when you broke your arm, as a kid, would you have gotten treated in a socialist public hospital paid for by socialist ACC.

     I would also like your opinion on Abu Gharib and My Lai seeing as you love America so much, and also your opinon on the US healthcare system.

   Does the Roy Morgan app require some sort of demographic info ?

   If they are mostly males in professional or management roles, like the usual smartphone owner profile, then we know the results all ready.

   The real reasons for the polling companies getting in on this is that they have a pool of respondents who they can sell the details to marketing companies. Do you want to buy a BMW ?

   I also wonder how many bone craving wearing socialist high school teachers will instruct their students to vote for Goff with this.

   There will be a bunch of 13 year old kids who cant even vote who will be using this, then they will prove how hard they are by going on facebook and telling people they did it, maybe even get a few likes.

   They will probably then bag the usa and capitalism, after going to youtube first, playing on their xbox using their iphones and going to see Twilight part 6.

   Perhaps they will even go along to occupy Timaru (who the fuck would want to do that anyway) and start chanting “the whole world is watching” with the two other people that show up.

   Hopefully when they leave school, they will realize that their teacher is an idiot and America does more good than harm.

   But at the moment they will be tweeting such classics as “key is a C**T” “Key sucks” all the while why wearing a fucking scribe shirt and doing that hand sign they think makes them hard.

         Brett, I taught high school for 40 years ,and perverted the minds of thousands of kids by exposing them to the socialist bile of writers like Hemingway and Steinbeck.As part of my evil plan I also persuaded them all to buy cellphones made in Scandinavia.

         Sadly, the America today like NZ is full of adults who can’t read or write to save themselves, if the blog comments are anything to go by. But it’s good to see that the war on terrorism isn’t letting up, what with Mississippi judges gaoling a mother for three years for lying about drug convictions in her food stamps application, and the arrest of all those unAmerican abnormals in OWS who resent that if lucky enough they can still earn 1970’s wages in the land of the free to starve.

         Thanks for making my day. You’re such a good advertorial for left wing philosophy.

             When my teachers taught me, it was the French revolution, Napolean’s rise to power, campaigns and fall, that were drummed into us. Not sure which side anyone was on. It was a long and convoluted story, encompassing the politics of Europe to the point it was hard to say who was the real enemy. No one hated the French. Thanks to my socialist indoctrination, I can smell bullshit coming a mile off and spot it no matter what colour it wears. Damn those socialists!

             When I was 13, Labour were punch drunk and reeling under the influence of Rogernomics, National wanted everyone to be a casual worker and there weren’t any smart phones. The real life version of the worm was usually in the form of people shouting and pushing MPs in public. It seemed so important at the time, yet here we are, with no great changes.

             The most the NZ school curriculum gets involved with the USA is the Vietnam War in History, and some American books, depending on what English teachers assign – and, funnily enough, most teachers don’t spend time ranting about politics, they spend it, you know, teaching. I don’t know where you get this idea that 13 year olds are all socialists, if anything the opposite is true. Especially for ones with smartphones.

         it saddens me you think NZ hiphop has anything to do with the cliche stories that fill the media. Your reference to kiwi kids playing gangs is a classic piece of disinfo that has more to do with the corporate hold on media culture ( scribe, p-money etc) than anything to do with actual NZ HIPHOP music. So in the interests of giving you an opportunity to learn something today, here you go Brett, some real kiwi hiphop for your sorely needed education.

     This just has to be the biggest load of anti-youth bullshit I’ve seen posted on The Standard thus far, you know, because teenagers have no rights to voice their concerns, let alone judge political parties on what they say.

     Sure, kids can be stupid, but 9/10 they’re bloody brighter than you think and more than capable of thinking about stuff that impacts on them, and besides, on a statistical basis, they’re no worse than the legions of ignorant adults out there who go off sound bites and “who would you rather have a beer with?” bullshit.

           Nicks:

           They can voice their concerns if they want, they can go to their local politician and ask
           for help with a issue, I just think they shouldnt partake in the worm thing, because they cant vote in the election, or at least the media should tell the public that people of all ages are dictating what the worm is doing.

   I’d rather it was just a straight debate with no worm or feedback from policy analysts.

   If they have to have opinions I’d want a panel afterwards. Two blatantly pro national supporters amd two blatantly labour supporters.

   It’s a stupid game but if we don’t play we’re fucked.

   App now on my phone. Will dial Key into negative every time he opens his mouth. And this will be an accurate reflection of what I think about him.

     reading the comments on the market site for the ap and one very interesting statement stood out.
     ” the ” On Air” sign is only supposed to be there when the event is being broadcast. But the NZ Debate shows ‘On Air’ now and the event is tomorrow !!! ”

     That is enough evidence of the corrupt and unreliable nature of this ap if you ask me. No download for this smart phone user. Who by the way Brett Dale, is neither wealthy nor a 13 year old kid, but knows a real tool when he sees one.

       Dont ask me about iphones/androids /cellphones, i have trouble txting, but im kinda guessing the majority of its users will be teenagers who will vote the worm up for Labour then go on facebook and tell their friends about it, who will like it, and then they will poke someone, all the time writing in txt spk btw.

         “Dont ask me about iphones/androids /cellphones, i have trouble txting”

         Sure, but that’s nothing to do with the technology involved, it’s because you’re borderline illiterate.

         “but im kinda guessing the majority of its users will be teenagers”

         And that’s why no-one is taking you seriously.

    John Pagani makes the argument that Goff should pull out because of the worm. I’d agree with him but the MSM would use it as an attack on Goff which they don’t do to Key when he, or his minions, pull out of interviews.

    Anthony….

    I will be interested to see the reaction of this (and other left-wing) blog sites if it turns out that the worm favours Goff…

    WIll there still be cries of it being inacurate and wrong and skewed towards National? or will it be praised as the “Game Changer” and “showing that Kiwi’s are coming in behind Goff” etc etc etc

    We will see how much integrity the Left has after the debate tonight if the worm goes Goff’s way….intergrity would still call it as it is ….. a very bias and unfair way to judge the debate (whoever wins)…..my thinking is that if Goff “Wins” the worm debate….the left will spout how great it is.

    Russell Malcolm I got arrested 11.11.11 on the orders from the prime minister, (yip the man himself apparently) the charge is misuse of a telephone relating to internet posting, no accusation of threats to anyone, but abusive was suggested and I was questi…oned on using the word….. “bitch”.
    Now get this: Bail condition I must not post anything on the net, on the subject I was posting about.
    I must not contact any government ministers ….including opposition. Is the subject to embarrassing at election time?

    Ps I hope your are not a government minster , if any govt ministers contact me I am not allowed to talk to them’. Jeeze what was so embarrassing?
    Blew me away the order come from the prime minister himself who was woken up to dictate my bail conditions via his personal body guards. (You who know me are truly honoured)

    Although a stranger to the process, I was sitting in the cell laughing thinking of them what the hell have “they” done? AlLI asked for was justice and compliance with the law and it was to much to ask…. but I cant tell, Or I go directly to jail.
    As for a solution, and of course I cant address XXXXX who has me monitored. (nor have I hassled him OR EVER BEEN AGAINST HIM) But a decent person would do what is morally and legally right. And see an end to the issue.

    To all: if u can please copy and repost with comments, I have no intention of committing suicide or having a head-on crash. Paul white or Allan Hubbard style?

    John Campbell will host and moderate &….

    The show will finish with commentary from a media panel consisting of RadioLIVE host Paul Henry, TV3 political editor Duncan Garner and political scientist Therese Arseneau.

    ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……to infinity….

        This is a dilemma for me. I’ve been totally avoiding any show with Henry in it, and Garner is just to irritating to watch very much. I can tolerate Arseneau if she has analysts of more substance and political diversity on with her.

    Therese Arseneau is rightwing disguised as a political science lecturer/commentator/ex Q&A originator and side kick of Guyon Espiner. Everything loaded against Goff. Key must be soooooooooo relaxed and happy. He is in good hands as usual
    Am praying for divine intervention to knock Key’s treacherous little socks off, hope it happens tonight. Here we go…
