OnPoint: Everything has changed until 2014, in reply to Heather Gaye,
If John Key were a cheese.I've never been a fan of blue cheese.
I figure he'd be more of an American cheese, the sort that comes in a can and smells sweet and sickly and has an orange tinge to its otherwise pallid complexion. The sort of cheese that is ambishus to be a real cheese.

but you can’t shine a shit (as they say here).
Ah but...
National managed to do it to a currency speculator.

I’m not ruling out the possibility that John Key controls the moon, obviously.
No, but he is made of the same stuff... cheese.

OnPoint: On Freedom of Speech, in reply to BenWilson,
Are you still beating your wife?
Only at Scrabble.

Can there be such a thing as pure freedom?
Yes, animals have it. You may argue that this is not true but consider. You are free to do whatever you wish, as long as you are prepared to take the consequences.
Animals, being unaware of social mores, will do whatever they consider to be needed, humans, being aware of those mores, have a choice. If you feel the need to dispose of your elected, or imposed, rulers then you have that freedom. If those same leaders feel the need to dispose of you...
Ah Freedom. Such a misunderstood thing. -
"The feedback we've had from businesses, the feedback we've had from individuals on the ground and, in fact, from the council is you need the full support of those various government departments that feed into Christchurch," Mr Key said.
People who force their way through cordons into Christchurch's quake-ravaged central business district (CBD) could be killed, police say.
So, you think they mean business?.
"We are all going bankrupt. We are about to lose everything and they will not tell us anything. It's a complete police state,"

I think one of the reasons that Lawhing Boy gets away with his paranoid ramblings is that so few people actually read his disjointed prose, another reason could be that those that do attempt to wade through his sticky filth give up after a few sentences and dismiss it as the ravings of a demented fool. It's only content, a way to make a paper look as if it has a stable of journalists, of no more import than the celebrity who's shagging who nonsense that appeals to the bored and dysfunctional
So, to trouble our collective consciousness on such a strange and hateful soul is just a waste of time and energy.
Sometime someone will draw a dotted line around him as he grows a new white coat. -

17 Mar 2011 4:48p.m.Actually Dan Satherley (TV3 News) ... you are a liar. I said I didn't care what the abusive email correspondent said/thought ... again, your basic journo dysfunction ... and I repeat: you have deliberately misrepresented my reply email to the lady.
can't even spell Journalist LOL (Lawhs out loud)
Has a lot to say for one who doesn't care. -
“It wasn’t me, but if it was it was self-defence” might be inconsistent, but is “I didn’t assault the complainant, and the person who did did so in self-defence), and aren’t they the same?
Not at all the same. The similarity ends with the redundancy of the latter part of the sentence. In the first instance the redundancy is also contradictory but in the second it is, merely, redundant.

Field Theory: Japan moves, in reply to Islander,
but don't know about areas to the north or elsewhere-
There is a system in place, what happens is...
Neighbour comes round and says "Gidday, howzit goin?"
Helps himself to your vegetation and tells you about his friends girlfriends horse and the shed he is building for his mates friends Uncle.
When the wave starts rushing up your driveway he says "Oh yeah, I was going to tell you about that"...
