  • Hard News: A fairly weird encounter,

    PPP

    Got me thinking of Housing NZ & Maori Land.

    Housing NZ supply good healthy homes (stop laughing) onto Maori land and so the need for tin shacks and perm Caravan parks are removed.

    Confession
    I bought my 1st copy of the Truth. Liked the point the victim was named and shamed but that cops have a special protection by the media. One rule for all dogs comes to mind.
    But hell I felt like I shud hve smoked 40 a day and was missing a few tats but had too many teeth to be reading it.

    Daily Show had Jon burn an author (not the book though) who had that same false laugh as Hillary Clinton. Funny the premis of the book was live your life like a political campaign and you'll win. Jon thought it was fascist.

    Gotta agree on one point. My cousin in the Marines has a partial degree his brothers have MA & BA from UCLA. Most of the Marines I met on the piss in Hawaii (who had been home less than 72hrs) were as you described. And all believe Iraq is about 9/11, the safety of the USA, & Freedom, they really really do.

  • Hard News: Ten Times Warmer,

    "The war in Iraq is over! According to John Key"

    Most impressed with Keith Lockes reply

    "Until Mr Key put me wise, I had assumed the US and its coalition allies were bogged down fighting an intractable insurgency in Iraq that had seen a surge in US troop numbers earlier this year.

    "The deaths of 805 US troops and at least 13,600 Iraqi civilians this year alone were obviously due to some other cause, and Congress must have been deluded to recently endorse an extra $150 billion for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan."

    He added: "I look forward to hearing Mr Key resolve the Israeli-Palestinian crisis next week, and move on to resolve global poverty by Christmas."

    Palestine had an elected Govt too.
    Interesting how Africa wants help but not American help, so too the solution should be local.

  • Hard News: Connecting the Box,

    Ian
    The BBC is right & so are you, (although "Army" of Maori hmm where is the BBC coming from).
    Just get the glasses updated. Things are getting better but Maori are still at the worst of it.
    Turia of the Maori Party says it best.

  • Hard News: Connecting the Box,

    Emma my IT help won't do it when they're paid to.
    My offsider used to be super-tech and knows that broken stuff can't be rebooted especially after I it fixed it, just like the cat.
    We bring in our own kit cause the form/billing structure/revenue drive... mean this is the best course of action.
    I'm not sure if not working means they're saving your tax dollars, but it works for them.
