  • Can We Dump Raw Shit Into Your River for…,

    Rosie, Big O is in South Westland. It is not a large settlement. We also refer to it as "The Navel of the Universe" because, as a community, we have a well-developed sense of our importance and aspire to be lint.

    Last - but pertinent comment - where do youy think all of Greymouth's
    'waste' goes?
    And why no locals are very keen on Grey River 'bait?

    O, and all sewage is within property bounds (septic tanks/Oasis-type sytems.)

    Rosie - there's been an ongoing discussion among the inhabitants of Big O about water for literally quarter of a century.
    *We pay rates to 2 local body councils (WDC & WRC). We get very little in return for our rates.
    *We run our own water scheme.
    *Actually, the government has been working on improving water quality (including drinking water quality)for a number of years, especially to rural/small town areas.
    *We are investigating substantial improvement to both our reticulation & our water quality as a result of government -allied with local body- initiatives.
    *Government is offering hefty subsidies to bring things up to scratrch -where tiny places like Big O can also contribute.
    *Waste & water costs are quite separate on our rates bills.
    *FORFEND any kind of privatised water system/s in AotearoaNZ!

    Actually, and seriously, probably "Recuerdos d'Alhambra", Segovia, solo guitar, in all it's scratchy vinyl glory - sic trasit etc. and aweful (in the original sense) music...

    Gah! No, no, no! Steve B, all my mates & a lot of family know all the words to the Ying Tong Song - and their falsettos are *really bad*-

  • Up Front: Making a List, Not Bothering…,

    I am asking you mark taslov-

    and the technology was there in 1995 too-

    the next load of nothing doesnt need to be responded to:

    "I am an art history major"

    -whoop de doo: I'm a poet.

    Frankly, art - of all kinds- DOESNT receive "far too much blame for the faults of humanity" - or are you calling photo-mockups of child abuse, art? Which is, actually, the only way I percieve your posts leading-

    -I've encountered your scrambled. illogical & onerous posts before, mark taslov
    and have no wish to engage with you at any length.
    This is it from me. Except -your last 4 lines in a previous post are truely awful writing - and mean buggerall.
    Kati.

  • Up Front: Making a List, Not Bothering…,

    The sort of material mark taslov says he is discussing is
    a)not pornography
    b)well covered (for centuries!) by artistic licence and
    c)harmless

    BUT

    the areas that child pornography are concerned with - including those that arouse paedophiles- are very different indeed.

    And art stuff - o, and counselling? After conviction for looking at art stuff? isnt, as I understand matters, covered by the Emma Solution (because it doesnt need to be.)

    I mean, do we now have to consider closetting off the Alice Liddell photos? No! Because that has been dealt with in the past.
