Nice to see that my relationships are marginally more moral than doctor assisted suicide, abortion, gambling or testing on animals.
Since when the fuck do my relationships become the subject of a stupid shitty small-minded marketing company full of guys with weeny dicks running a poll on morality??
Fuck that.
Here's the real moral question: Are heterosexual relationships moral?
No. Course not. What were you thinking? That they were? Don't be silly.

The idea that you'll leer it up at the expense of the community, all will be forgiven and you'll join the establishment and wait till daddy gets you a membership at the Northern Club has never washed with me. Once a fuckwit, always a fuckwit.
Brings to mind the conviction of a tagger in the Far Eastern suburbs, who was the son of a respected company director. Yep, once a fuckwit, always one.
And there's lots in Queen Street. In the towers lining it.

Speaking of whom... did The Herald build a new Garth George recently?
It seems to me that those who espouse the "one nation, one people" concept are invariably white, and stand to the right of the political spectrum. That, in itself, is a cause for suspicion.
Who'da thunkit.
More irony. And what's worse is he is not being wry. Scary.

From what I can see, there's a bunch of males, wearing regulation dark jackets, making by-law that targets another bunch of males who wear regulation dark jackets with particular embellishments.
Police are public servants and are employed by, and accountable to, various arms of government. And therefore, us.
As the TV camera panned around the Council chamber, all I saw were, again, a bunch of males, wearing regulation dark jackets, making a by-law that targets etc etc.

From my limited experience of the breed, it was the casual brutality, glorification of criminality and abuse of women, and utter disdain for the property and human dignity of 'outsiders' that churned my stomach.
Completely agree, having had some more than limited experience with the breed - you can't choose your family - funny to think that I know of people from other more 'mainstream' groups who occupy much the same territory too...

This law isn't based on any sort of rational policy or consideration of actions and consequences. It's about the realm of the symbolic.
I'm astonished no-one is pointing out the irony of one gang using its muscle to 'bash' another.

There's plenty of room in this debate for some smart lawyer defending the arrested gang person to ask the Court whether the wider definition of gang should be extended to, well, gangs of middle-class white males. Let's hope the judge is a woman.

Seriously -- the relentless, obnoxious, engorged sense of entitlement is a wonder to behold.
Quite. Hate to see what happens when the Baby Boomers really get going in their dotage.
I'm going to raise their marginal tax rates something special; they never paid for their university education in the way their sprogs do now.
But that's another thread - apologies for threadjack.

Feel proud, people. Research shows that people like us help keep civilisation civilised. Without us, everyone would be like those low-rent old bitches who don't give a fuck.
K - where's a t-shirt screenprinter: "I civilise you, muthafucka".
Glad to hear that there is research that validates my actions.

Reminds me of the time I spotted someone at the intersection outside our flat chuck a complete set of McDonald's rubbish out of the window. I tore downstairs, out on to the street, scooped it up and managed to hiff the whole lot back through the driver's window just as the light went green. Felt good!
Much like the surprise on a car full of teenagers faces as I biffed a half empty choc milk tetra pack that they had causually dropped out the window of their car, back into the car with the words "Don't Fucken Litter!", and walked off. They couldn't do anything.
Cigarette litter is a funny thing. Butts are so small and everyone throws them on the ground, but they don't go away by themselves. If you're lucky the council sweeper will pick them up, but they'll more likely get washed down a stormwater drain and straight out to sea, and that is really shitty indeed.
To be eaten by snapper, so if you live in Aucks/Tamaki and eat fish, AND smoke, eat the fucken cigarette butt instead. Saves time having to catch the bloody snapper that will be full of ciggy butts.
I often tell this to smokers I see causually dropping their butt on the ground; "eat fish?" I ask. Affirmative answers get the eat butt statement.
I did pitch an idea to John Campbell once; serving an entire meal at some fish restaurant made completely from ciggy butts ('fish' soup, deep fried 'fish', 'fish' chowder, etc) to smokers invited to the restaurant. The whole thing filmed obviously, but I think it would be a neat story to film. He never got back to me.
I find release by asking obviously able-bodied folk skipping away after parking in a mobility-challenged parking space if they need a hand to carry their shopping back to their car.
I'll admit to having been threatened with physical violence on occasion, but if no-one says anything, it becomes the norm.Agree. So I say something. Including politely asking the guy in the gym to please move his car from the disability spot, in front of everyone. I followed him out the building and watched him do it, surly bastard.
Sigh. My personality dooms me to forever castigating stupid pricks who can't think beyond their tiny little brain. And there's a shiteload of them.
I'm with Barney Franks at the moment. I'm gunna say it like it is so 'cuse the fucks, shite and whatnot.

We actually went with private obstetricians for him, and a private pediatrician. But when the shit hit the fan, and he was having seizures in his bassinet, the public system took over almost 100%. I have no bitterness on the private specialists over this, nor do I apportion any blame on them for his 'accident'. They did everything they could to help out, going well beyond what had been paid for, and even waived some of their bill, but the final point was that they couldn't do very much by comparison with the incredible resources of the state.
This is the vision of a Mactional party health care.
The private sector takes the cream from the top. The sour difficult nasty stuff at the bottom is picked up by the state - they have the resources.
True, a private coy could have the resources to deal with this nasty difficult medical stuff, but their fees would require you to re-mortgage your house and your children's house.
I'd far rather pay a little more in taxes to have equitable health care.

I've never seen or heard heard of dogs eating sea slugs before and why did several dogs eat them on the same day?
Dogs lick things as well. This is the more likely scenario, however, if one has a Labrador, one knows how true the scenario outlined by Mr Lacey will be.
And for what it's worth, I hardly think that there is any great conspiracy hiding on the beach, under the shells.
