  • Hard News: Dunce Dunce Revolution,

    In a week when significant changes to the ACC scheme have also been set in motion more on the basis of ideology than evidence, we would to well to contemplate where that kind of behaviour tends to get us.

    Not sure about the we. And contemplation of behaviours could be a big ask. I'm not sure someone such as Anne Tolley would know what that looks like.

  • Hard News: Of swine and cows,

    I remember hearing variations on this stuff from potheads I used to flat with in Wellington 20 years ago

    Yes 1989 I remember it well, Deepak was lusting after Hollywood starlets, my sex had come from Mars apparently, and I thought the drug de riguer was pillish or powdery. Pot was passe.

    Shit, Robert Anton Wilson what are we reliving the 60's?
    Oh, If only.

    Conspiracy theories, OH MY.
    The best one has to be David Icke (or Icky)
    2001 I cast my eyes over those books.

    Dubya and Darth Cheney, I could imagine them, on dark nights transforming into tongue flicking lizards, descendants from a long line of somehow surviving dinosaur aliens from another dimension ensuring our confused and anxiety ridden psychic energies were feeding their ravenous appetites.

    Ahh memories.

  • Speaker: The Freeviewer Diaries (3),

    Was wondering if some kind of information sharing about all the Freeview options might be an idea. I think the freeview thing is great.

    For me, being financially challenged I went for the cheap option. My residence had an old sky dish, so I bought a cheap set top box off Trademe, was given as TV and I got it all going, cost me $75 dollars.

    The info I needed to get it going was the satellite (Optus D1) if I remember correctly and two other numbers I entered and it all worked.

    Anyway just an idea.

  • Hard News: Undie Wankers,

    The idiot who jumped in the fire was a student at Telford (a polytech for farm-hands).

    "Damn...
    (said through gritted teeth as clenched fist bangs the table)
    Those poor white folks for having kids that can just blend in with those rich white folks kids, ruin their reputations and get off Scot-F'nFree"

    Sure, Mike Mechanic may not lose his job for drunken charge of a riot, but Andrew Accountant with a view to parnership with Taylor McLachlan probably will

    tee hee

    My populace's what?<quote>

    Here

    <quote>But it's not even working for Obama particularly well. He's trying to Sinatra his way to health care reform because he knows he can't talk facts. People don't give a shit. Information no longer as any value if most people watch 4-5hrs of bad TV a day and think Close Up is the news.

    Which Close Up TV programme were you referring to?
    The US one doesnt seem to exist.
    Or you just think people in general dont give a FF?
    Regardless of country

    Didnt know Close Up is shown in the US. Yeah I know its a cheap shot but you seem to be confusing your populace's a bit there.

    I blame the death of WWII vets. They came back as victims of foreign policy decisions and the welfare state was born. When they started to retire the welfare state was destroyed. Not that they're dead or dying rational discourse or logic is being equally shown the door.

    So you are saying that WWII soldiers got a welfare state as a reward?
    And now that they no longer need it, it is dismantled and any Govt is allowed to flip post WWII people the bird, and dont even have to speak to them as if they have an education?
    Im not following you here.....
