I can picture this guy giving himself a good ol' David Carradine in a Hong Kong hotel with some smut on a screen and rice chips through the sheets.

All on the card of course. Thing is he paid for it, so it really shows the media are a pack of whores themselves in this country!

[PutDaKnivesOn]

Pfft let them go. If you aint a part of the solution then you're a part of the problem and if you're going to be a problem then yeah, piss off.

Or control it

I wasnt refering to "those resources".

[PutDaKnivesOn]

Good thing i aint from the east coast then eh? Me, fuck the heat pumps and pink bats and shower heads and all that other irrelevant shit. Cookie points from the mid-lower class, which make up fuck all anyway.

[fomastephanovitch]

Doesn't seem to bother the trawls of Maori people who ditch all of the oedipal perks of the NZ government for Australia.

Generally it's considered a sign of an asset's lack of value or potential when no-one bar the government is prepared to invest in it.

People are people and Aotearoa's original inhabitants were a strand of sea-worm - I suggest we set up tribunals for white-bait grievances and have that gang of thieves we call our state tribute the money we work for to those. Seem fair?

[fomastephanovitch]

Totally, last resort of course.

Call me a pragmatic-supply-sider with a social conscience.

Sailing my people along the tempest of the market forces of the invisible hand. - Nice motto for a Maori Act candidate from the East Coast. I'll change my name to Wharepaku "John" Delamere for good measure.

Tax credits mean that prices aren't driven up like what happened with that heat-pump debacle - wait until they start breaking down and need replacing, all in roughly five years time.

[PutDaKnivesOn]

media bullshit and your own bullshit*

[PutDaKnivesOn]

Fuck there are plenty of ways to bring the price of everything down! Well if people were stopped being fed media bullshit then there would be no reason to be discontent eh? Tru though that we have inherent problems, but fuck, it'll just get worse if you dont keep putting the resources in. Its cultures clashing, not morally void ow.

[fomastephanovitch]

I was worried for a moment, it seemed you were saying the only way to get the price of bats down was through government subsidies.

National don't seem to get this. Bunch of crass populists campaigning on unsubstantiated change who in actuality are a cabinet of people we sensibly dispensed with in 1999.

You're right about the drain being a myth, although the discontent it causes is an indirect economic drain. That and it's archaic and morally repugnant.

NZ's political class suck, Labour esp.

[fomastephanovitch]

No, I mean ineffective redistribution of wealth in general. I hate the divide and rule anti-racism-racism mentality.

[PutDaKnivesOn]

Yeah nah i agree with that. I've never supported Labour. The average to low class demographic is relevant eh coz cost is a reality. Btw ow Maori -go-round economic drain is a myth.
