'And to test my reply to Craig, we'll see how many comments follow that are just jokes about 'brown' substances, compared with "serious political and public policy debate"...'
Doesn't that imply that we should take Turia and her attempt at fomenting ethnic strife seriously?
Lampooning Winston seems to have worked quite well. Why make an exception in Turia's case?

"A Brownian motion"
Errm, can we pass on that please?

Most cur or mostly mudgeon though? I think we should be told. Hmm, I'll probably go straight to a non-denominational hell for this, but I looked up the definition of curmudgeon on die.net:
Source: WordNet (r) 1.7
curmudgeon
n : a crusty irascible cantankerous old person full of stubborn ideasSource: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
Curmudgeon \Cur*mudg"eon\ (k?r-m?j"?n), n. [OE. cornmudgin,
where -mudgin is prob. from OF. muchier, mucier, F. musser to
hide; of uncertain origin; cf. OE. muchares skulking thieves,
E. miche, micher.]
An avaricious, grasping fellow; a miser; a niggard; a churl.A gray-headed curmudgeon of a negro. --W. Irving.

OIC... I completely misunderstood Turia. So she's Russelling up support for the Browning, and not the browning, of NZ. With you now.
It's good to see that she's not racist because ""No, we aren't playing the race card, because we are not talking about Asian immigration."
Wonder if non-White Westerners would still be welcome under Turia's ethnically dictated immigration policy?

Hmm... so what you're really saying is that we need a Thorium-Wotanium Casino?
OK, I'm cool with that.

"Wotanium."
"Huh? Oh, Thatanium?"Good point. Imagine if they built reactors here like they built the Harbour Bridge... the clipons will apparently fall off in a decade or less.

I did your post and since it wasn't crafted in Learning English with the Browns style, I thought I got it. Listening to the David Debunking David now, but what is that noise in the background? A wind turbine humming away? (Just kidding.)
Anyway, I won't Bellamy away here, but I remain unconvinced that we don't need a nookolear reactor or three to our energy mix.That particular technology has also developed over the years.
Oh, Te Ara has an animation of poor little birds heading straight into some windfarm propellers. Luckily, we're spared the gore.

__I think one valid criticism is that it's unhelpful if young men grow up thinking the sex they're going to have in the real world is like porn. For technical and emotional reasons, that seems likely to end in tears.__
Literally so.

It's not a question of morality per se though but rather "pornification" as you term it spreading to pre-schoolers and burger joints.
