I'm sure it'll all be awesome.

Or, at a fraction of the cost, I can just go off my meds, start drinking again and let the delusional good times roll... But all snark aside, if the family's last line of defence is a man who has a long track record?

Ann-Margret singing 'Saturday Night' with the Bay City Rollers in front of an audience of hyped-up pensioners some time in the 70s.

Gold! The old dear knitting furiously away at about 1:30 is wonderful :)

Just so this post isn't solely complaining-about-my-incompetence, here is a thing I like: [[http://www.behance.net/Gallery/ALT1977-WE-ARE-NOT-TIME-TRAVELERS/545221|fake advertising for?

The Adam and Eve story was an ancient monotheistic (or maybe henotheistic) satire/warning off of goddess worship.?

Craig R: sadly, some people still think 1984 is a training manual.

Just so this?

(and scroll to the bottom of the page while watching the background for cool web-foo)

the paper of the fearful and underachieving middle class breathlessly reports on things that give you cancer, from soup to sun cream. And sometime, things that cure cancer.

Are you sure you're not confused with the Listener ?

Family First's line is that mothers should stay home with their children until they go to school,

The father should be where, in the garage? I could use some specific instructions here.

Any word on whether at or with is more effective? Because if it's at then I believe I've just found the secret to immortality.

Now you mention it, the story in this week's by Maggie Hamilton, based on her book What's Happening To Our Boys, is fairly high on the hysteria factor.

Like all these things, it touches on reasonable concerns. But to suggest?

"Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers: the Herald on Sunday is read by people who think they run the country; The Sunday Star Times is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The NZ Herald is read?

Out working! And giving your good wife housekeeping money every week, unless you've spent it all down at the put before 6 o'clock closing.

Clearly someone for whom a conversion to christianity was the lifeline they needed to pull themselves out of a death spiral?

Ah, Bob McCoskrie...a Man-Bartlett for a new century. Shame it's the?

In regard to Judy Bailey's star turn at the Family First conference – the work she is doing for the Brainwave Trust seems to be linked to Simon Rowley's research on the effects of stress on young children.

Is this the stress of wondering where their next dose of "parental?

You should be in a shed Giovanni . Real blokes don't go near a garage...

what, no magic carport ride...?

An interesting point you raise sir. But it gloss's over so much that is wrong with the way our unintelligently designed society was cobbled together over the centuries, and?

Yes, CR. but the Christian Right has been like this about every form of media technology conceivable- from film censorship (1930s -1970s) to video/CD/DVD censorship (1980s- Present) to Internet censorship (1990s- ). Sigman is part of a long trend.

Now now, Mister Young — I think we both know there's?

Is this the stress of wondering where their next dose of "parental correction" is coming from?

Yes I would quite like to see a panel discussion between Bailey and Sigman about the role of shaking in best practice parenting.

Well, yes, CR, I do take your point insofar as the Communist Party's anti-comics crusade

Wait. What?

Incidentally, if Facebook is the spawn of Satan, why is there a Facebook link on the FamFirst website?

You're looking for any kind of moral or intellectual consistency in Family First? Good luck to you, but I suspect you're going to trip over the Fountain of Youth in the middle?

Well, yes, CR, I do take your point insofar as the Communist Party's anti-comics crusade

That's a first post on a new page where you have to go back to page 1 to see if you've somehow changed threads or missed a page or something.

Delivery stopped when I sent a newsletter back, with a message 'Unsolicited mail from Satan"!

Grab some loudspeakers and play back this outside the conference venue... ;D

If the refence was to?

If the refence was to the thing about literacy and the masses, I'm sure Craig was meant to excoriate Pope Pius IX, the sworn enemy of universal public education.

More like having horrible flashbacks to the suicidal ennui caused by reading Adorno and other sages of The Frankfurt School. Like?

the Communist Party's anti-comics crusade

In respect of the British campaign, this is well documented in Martin Barker (1984), A Haunt of Fears: The Strange History of the British Comics Campaign (Pluto Press)

apropos nothing at all

I just have to get this off my chest – I had a major crush on Les McKeown as a 9 year old....

Nick Lowe knows how you feel:

Hehe. I like the story that the inventor of the UPC barcode had a morbid sense of humour and "unintentionally" inserted what appears to be 666 into the barcode. At the beginning, middle and end appear to be 2 narrow stripes. Alludes to be the code for 666.

Thus?

Mother of the Nation.

Mother's message, greed is good.

Anyway, as Garth McVicar was quoted, and there's more cold salmon* coming from the FoFCon, seemed apposite.

* That is seriously disturbing. And then what? They make them eat it? It seems a high cost for disciplining your?

Wait, FamFirst is getting worse. Now they're all aflutter about the bits adangle on TV3 Nightline's coverage (...) of the Nude Blacks...

What rubbish. I recorded that segment, re-watched it many times in slow motion and freeze-framed the best angles and you couldn't make out a thing.

You couldn't see the dangling bits because you don't have the obsessive attention to prurient detail of a Family Firster – it's like having Super?

Super Vision for cock

The power Superman only discusses in front of select groups of friends.

They included "Virgin School' (!!), Mistresses (!!!), Outrageous Fortune (!!!!) and C4's "Playboy Mansion". Let it be noted all these advertisements but one occurred in?

Is there any discussion of this;
Pro-smacking campaigner joins Auckland mayoralty race?

If there's one good thing to come from it, he'll eat into Banksie's vote.

My thoughts precisely.

I thought that was a reflection on toilet acoustics!
