Hard News: Locking in the Future, in reply to Sacha,
Sensible business people are also unimpressed by the way this government are behaving
Yet they are still supporters?
Deluded fools. -

I find it highly useful, stimulating and very often jolly good fun.
A bit like gardening.
(I don't do that either) ;-) -

I’ve confirmed that from launch TVNZ 6 and 7 listings were made available at no charge to newspapers and other media.
Thing is Russell, media companies compete for advertising and advertising your opposition is still advertising. I would be interested in how much Sky "pays" for the listings to be published

I’m in exactly the same boat as you in terms of twitter.
That would be a Squid boat then.
I concur, Twitter is aptly named I think, just a bunch of people twittering, it's like white noise, like the meaningless squiggles on the on the monitor of the Matrix. -
Hard News: Perverse Entertainment, in reply to Kracklite,
I’m also dubious about sorting people into goodies and baddies according to physical characteristics,
This is a little beyond Phrenology as far as it goes but it does lend itself to the concept of shape-shifting reptiles, not entirely excluding Trotter, although he does have a good folk singing voice.

Smiley face for the less po faced... -
Hard News: Locking in the Future, in reply to Russell Brown,
Actually, if you look at who Tuanz represents, it’s some of the biggest companies in the land. And they’re really unhappy with Joyce.
You will notice, of course, that that list does not include Telecom. Other lists of companies that may lose out somewhere are the likes of Fulton Hogan and Feltcher Building, there are a few more but they are few, those mates. Every other supporter is just a deluded fool.

they’re a “do nothing” government – except for what they’re doing.
<Pendant> That is not a contradiction if "They" include their business mates.
It is just another example of "Us and Them"
The Government has become that two headed monster they like to call a PPP
Fuckn' Li'l P heads. -
Hard News: Locking in the Future, in reply to Sacha,
no initiatives, no forward thinkingThat seems to be a common misconception on the left – of course this government have a plan. You’re watching it.
Sigh...
Sacha, Since when have you started campaigning for National? They are a do nothing Government, well, nothing of any use to the country as a whole, they'll do heaps for their mates but fuck all of any use.
The Cycle Path was the only idea that came out of the "Job Summit" and fuck all has been done there (apart from the one kilometre of track put in by a private individual apparently) that was supposed to create 4000 jobs, yeah, right. What was the other thing, thats right "A nine-day working fortnight and an investment fund worth hundreds of millions of dollars "
Still waiting. What did we get? Tax cunts, the mention of asset sales, increase in GST, benefit cunts on the way, fuck all happening in Christchurch, Bailouts for mates and a fucking Holiday Highway.
Even Phill Goff on a bad day would achieve more.
Saying Media works was too big to fail leaves me lost for words.
Get a grip Man!
Vote Labour, Vote Early and Vote often.
These wankers are a waste of space and time and that's all we have. -
Now This is interesting...
Political liberalism and conservatism were correlated with brain structure
Liberalism was associated with the gray matter volume of anterior cingulate cortex
Conservatism was associated with increased right amygdala size
Results offer possible accounts for cognitive styles of liberals and conservativesThe amygdala being part of the limbic system.
The American physician and neuroscientist Paul D. MacLean. maintained that the structures of the limbic system arose early in mammalian evolution (hence "paleomammalian") and were responsible for the motivation and emotion involved in feeding, reproductive behavior, and parental behavior.
Whereas...
The neomammalian complex consists of the cerebral neocortex, a structure found uniquely in mammals. MacLean regarded its addition as the most recent step in the evolution of the human brain, conferring the ability for language, abstraction, planning, and perception.

So there you have it... Those Righties are just not as evolved as the best of us.

*None of you have actually realised you are chatting with an intelligent squid?
