    Children don't learn that behaviour in utero after all.

    now that's an interesting thing.

    i apparently walk, talk, and act in a remarkably similar way to my father. but, he died when i was less than a year old.

    i wasn't involved with his nuclear family until i was in my early twenties, so couldn't have learned to move in the same way from them.

    so where did i learn the behaviour?

    What if the story is,[...] Still murder? Manslaughter? Self-defence (i.e. nothing)?

    graeme, i'll thank you not to fck up my extreme levels of uninformed outrage with reasonableness.

    Pre-judging the trial outcome just a little bit here?

    hmmm... current information is "angry man stabs youth. youth dies".

    even if the verdict is watered down, it's murder in my books.

    a noteable exclusion from the rabid commentary around this issue is that tagging is always conducted "against property" by those who have none. that's a pretty important variable that someone should be taking into consideration.

    and there's maybe 20 years of initiatives to give taggers dedicated spaces in neighbourhoods. somehow these have been forgotten in the kerfuffle.

    just like the bloke who murdered that teenager.

  • Hard News: Wellington, you win,

    Thanks Russell for being a catalyst and Auckland for hosting him.

    hear hear. russell has organised some of the best events i've been to over the past few years in wellington. the great blend being an example.

    and mr crawford is right, wellington's public transport has added to our dreary image. on my first trip here the airport terminal was in fact, and indisputably, a shed. courtney place was a windy bus terminal full of old soaks sleeping off their hangovers (and then starting again), and all public servants dressed in grey.

    fortunately black is the new grey.

    the rest has changed markedly.

    excepting the ferry terminal, which might as well be designed for herding sheep into a abattoir.

    oh, and when rb isn't here we just have to make our own fun. which helps you know, it tends to keep the dozens of bars, restaurants and cafes open while russell is getting his next event together.

    I feel a little awkward going back on-topic after that. Fingers crossed - I hope Finn's okay.

    i was worried it was a little heavy, but finn, if you're reading, get in touch with someone bro.

    hey everyone,

    finn higgins is a regular poster here on PA System, but this past monday he disappeared around 7pm.

    his partner is understandably worried about him, so i'm putting out word on her behalf.

    it's thought that he might have disappeared to auckland. we're hoping that is the case.

    finn is 26 years old, medium height, slim build, dark brown hair.

    he was wearing cargo pants and a black teeshirt, barefoot. he is in need of medical assistance.

    if you've seen him either get in touch with his partner, the police, or someone who can contact her. if you know where he is please ask him to contact home.

    thanks

  • Hard News: Make you crazy like datura,

    @linger. that all makes sense.

    he probably didn't get the loan because he's on a $40k wage with 2 dependants. there's no way you could service a $235k mortgage on that kind of money.

    the brother needs a 2nd job.
