She doesn't pout - the smile is permanently fixed. Probably the wind changed during the campaign
Indeed! Nasty thing to say I know, but even that constant smile and chuckles seem to me to be chemically induced. They're so fake and plastic it's otherwise hard to explain it. I'm like, kinda, like, like getting pissed off with being expected to remain ...
I find it utterly unsurprising. It just shows what a hollowed out, unprincipled, shoddy lot the GNats have become - not that I've ever voted for them. It's probably also why Winnie the Poo jumped ship.
... a former manager and mentor once said to me: "Humans should... than technology drive humans". He was a mere ten pound pom... banking system that rivaled and was the envy of the rest...
which is exactly what it is! except that after 30 plus years of neoliberalism, half of them probably don't even know they're neoliberals. First an ideology, then a religion, then a cult, then a bloody Empire. It transcends all other ideologies and ...
... et al). As BB King once said - "it's my feed for...
It's not so scary @Tracey - it's bloody funny....in a tragic, operatic sort of way
Ummmm......because they've finally learned their lesson (or for the benefit of those commodifiers of language), they've finally got learnings going forward
Jeeze Wayne!. You are really quite funny at times - BLOODY funny at times. I'm around your age - perhaps slightly older. But you remind me of the expression 'fuddy duddy' - you and Peter Dunne both. I don't suppose you've ever faced into a northerly ...
Oh, just a few others that spring to mind: growth in homelessness, growth in the number of vacant houses, growth in worker exploitation and slavery, growth in dumbing down education and media, growth in numbers unable to access health facilities and ...
They could probably negotiate now @Wayne were it not (as I've said before) the Nats weren't all about sustained but unsustainable growth. Growth in debt, growth in cow numbers, growth in poverty, growth in water toxins, growth in the divide between rich ...
Even Jeeze Wayne is shopping the prospect around on the other thread (Nats don’t understand a party of principle ). Probably the easiest thing for them to understand is that Greens believe in sustainABLE growth, whereas the Nats stand for sustainED growth ...
Come to think of it - they could get Nick Smith to lead it. He's always eagre to tell us how 'green he is', or rather WAS
I hate to state what to me seems the bleeding obvious @Wayne, but if as you suggest Green voters are a bit more diverse, why have they not started another party wedded to green principles? Perhaps Green Nation or something. Or is it that they aren't really...
.... And yes, I agree - it was probably someone like Weldon's bright...
Can you answer my question above @4? If that's the case then it's less of a coop. It seems that its a howto on corporatising a cooperative. The day the Coop Bank tried that shit on would be the day I left them. It seems by doing this, they allowed their ...
... a bit hazy now but was it not these same Masters... of Fonterra so that it was no longer a true cooperative...
I think Winston knows this all too well. I don't agree with him on simplistic solutions regarding immigration, but the situation - especially during the Gnat's reign has caused real problems for all to see.
Totally agree OAB. Many others would disagree with me, but that rat cunning is what JK had. But then they also called him charismatic whereas I thought of him as sleezy
Not at all surprising - but as you know already, you are opening yourself up to the xenophobic label. There's been a couple of interesting MSM articles in the past about the numbers of people coming and being granted PR by country - eg UK US Aus China etc....
Q: How could they have been so stupid? A: Simple born-to-rule arrogance
There's ekshully a terabyte of historical shit stored offshore - circa 2000 and before - and because of Y2K issues/ faux fear of a crash. Some of it shows EVEN THEN those committed to the neo-lib agenda. It comprises financial databases and Exchange Email ...
fluffer - as in one of those poor buggers that picks up shit in the Underground? ? (Natzis being the Underground I presume)
... it now is - as was it was inevitably going to be. Individualism...
@Weka and @Tracey Have a listen to "The Panel" today after the 4.30 news (if you can stomach Mora and The Hairdo) - the item on the Public Service. Some points well made (by Tamihere in particular) - although there are plenty more. It is probably one of ...
Faaark! Strange ole whurl ain't it! Sometimes @Draco, you post some really good comments. Other times you come across as an ideologically driven shit with the power only for binary thought. Excuse my judgemental question (as someone who has a drive-by ...
Indeed, because if we have to go down the cost accounting route - we'd have to start considering the 'cost' of diminishing spatial awareness that comes with our snouts constantly looking at a screen - along with all the 'app' temptations that go with it. ...
The cost of digging up 'table tops' for export
I think it's probably THE biggest challenge. I've worked in the PS at various times over the years (for long periods) and noticed a chip chip chip incremental fucking over of it - especially under this current regime. At the risk of getting off topic in ...
Ae! And when we do get change, let's hope that change involves proper resourcing and depoliticisation of the administrative wing of government.
