PHD (post hole digger)

I'm sure the chap that does these works at the same places I have...

Scum of the earth

"A SERVING British soldier was hacked to death in south east London metres away from his barracks by two machete-wielding men ranting “we swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you”.
In extraordinary broad daylight scenes in Woolwich, the men allegedly tried to hack the man’s head off and have their own crime filmed then waited 20 minutes for police to turn up before charging at them with meat cleavers, knives and a hand gun.
Both men, shouting Allah Akbar or God is great in Arabic, were shot by police snipers, including a female officer, and were this morning (AEST) in hospital under guard in a serious but stable condition.
…”We have suffered these attacks before, we have always beaten them back,” Mr Cameron said. “We will not be cowed, we will never buckle.”…’ (bold mine.)
Daily Mail

What is this 'WE' shit?
YOU have a protection detail armed to the teeth. Everybody else is denied any real means of defending themselves. By the politician hypocrite filth that have disarmed the commonality, in the name of 'public safety'.

Doesn't look all that friggin' safe out there.

Today it was just dumb luck they stopped at one murder. Next time and there WILL be a next time- there will be more killed and maimed.

And teach your friggin' snipers where the head is.

UPDATE:
As usual, the media have got it all wrong. Pistol shots on running targets and the shooters have done well. ('Two in the head makes him dead' is not part of the police training, unfortunately)

'Soft' drug decriminalization

I support the decriminalization of 'soft' drugs, as I feel the greatest harm is from associating with those that sell them.

But with rights (to toke) must come responsibilities:

Minors may not use these drugs.
Employers are still free to insist upon employees being free from drugs.
You may not receive a benefit if you test positive for dope (see above)
You can grow your own, but may not sell, trade or raffle- just like with homemade spirits. In fact, you MUST grow your own.
A landlord may refuse permission to grow or use dope on their property and doing so, or consuming constitutes grounds for eviction.

Also, those selling illicit drugs shall receive life imprisonment, or the death penalty for supplying to a minor.

More on conspiracy theories and the big lie

Remember Y2K and how the world was going to scream to a halt?

Didn't happen and I doubt that it would have caused more than a few minor hiccups. IT companies did very well out of it, though,

Various pandemics that failed eventuate. This is an ongoing one.

Man-made global warming, AKA climate change when that didn't pan out.

Running out of oil by 2000AD- an old one but somehow this too was wrong.

The world would be destroyed by AIDS- another old one that was also a fizzier.

Spot any trends here?

All of these made various groups a lot of money. And showed other snake-oil salesman that P.T. Barnum was right- there is a sucker born every minute...

Conspiracy Theories

I have a theory on conspiracy theories.

They are propagated to smokescreen for actual conspiracies.

We have been flooded with any number of theories- the black helicopters, shadow alien governments, contrails that are chemical spraying, sinister alumni, assorted mind-control schemes and so on.

Now anyone suggesting any sort of a government plot is debunked as a tinfoil-hat wearer. I mean, how could anyone thing that the government and its henchmen could be anything but benevolent (clue: ask the Jews)

Take the chemical contrails- purpose unsure, but I have heard everything from weather control to mass medication with mind-control drugs. Sounds crazy and probably is.

How about a group of Nazi scientists, secreted away after the war to make weaponry for the government, in exchange for them not being tried for war crimes such as the use of slave labour? No- this could not happen in a country that fought the Nazi regime!

Or in a foreign land, any intellectuals- say, somebody who wears glasses (by way of definition) are rounded up and killed or used as slave labour? Crazy!- what country would kill off all of their thinking people?

See how the line between reality and la-la land becomes blurred?

Truth is so often stranger than fiction. And less believable...

Thrown under a train

Freedom Fighter’s Journal, which has more links:
‘…General Ham was head of AFRICOM and Commander of the 2011 US-NATO operation to depose Gadhafi in Libya. Rear Admiral Charles M. Gaouette was in command of the Carrier Strike Group Three (CSG-3), then deployed in Middle Eastern waters during the attack on Benghazi.

Both Ham and Gaouette reported receiving the same desperate cables for additional security and backup that Obama administration officials received and ignored from Benghazi. They did not ignore those desperate calls for help ringing out from the Benghazi installation on 11 September 2012.

No, both Ham and Gaouette attempted to launch ready response teams in the region capable of provided the much needed assistance during the seven hour long assault on Benghazi. Both were then relieved of command for their actions, described by the US Military as “allegations of inappropriate leadership judgment.”

General Ham immediately had a rapid response unit ready and communicated to the Pentagon that he had a unit ready to deploy to Benghazi. Then, General Ham received the order to stand down. His response was “screw it,” – he was going to help anyway.

Within minutes after issuing an order to deploy his ready response team, Ham’s second in command apprehended the General and told him that he was now relieved of his command. Ham knows who issued the order to STAND DOWN as well as the order to relieve him of his command at AFRICOM…’

Why have they not been called to testify?

Another poster child for the death penalty

"A Wairarapa nurse was left seriously injured after one of three male patients allegedly attacked her in the back of an ambulance.

Lower Hutt Police Senior Sergeant Pat Thomas said yesterday a 28-year-old Masterton man was to appear in Hutt District Court facing a charge of injuring with intent to injure in relation to an attack late on Tuesday afternoon..."

http://www.times-age.co.nz/news/nurse-attacked-in-ambulance/1872185/

Also from the 'only in Masterton' file

There was a time- not so long ago- that, in prison, the nurse was 'off limits' and even swearing at her got you a beating from the other inmates.

Looks like part of the population has hit rock bottom and started to dig...

Colour blinded

"A judge has asked for a mental health report to ascertain if a 57-year-old Masterton woman is fit to plead, after she allegedly assaulted and threatened to kill a 7-year-old boy because she "hated white people". (bold mine)

Malta Valetta Rimene, unemployed, appeared in Masterton District Court yesterday on two charges of assaulting a child and one of threatening to kill..."

http://www.times-age.co.nz/news/masterton-woman-hit-boy-7-in-street-court-told/1871626/

OK- so why are the media not crying 'HATE CRIME'?

They seem to love the phrase when a minority is the victim of crime.

Yet I can conceive of fewer crimes more hateful that an adult attacking a defenseless child!

Budget Blues

As usual, there is the 'what was in it for ME?' wailing after the budget, followed closely (by not too closely)- the 'what about the poor children?' bellyaching. In this case, funding the do-gooders with 10 megabucks for the 'food in schools' program.

In this, the nats have it right when they say that the poor starving, lice- ridden kiddiewinks are the responsibility of their parents- NOT the government. Would that they followed this line a bit more and stopped propping up the terminally feckless.

If you can't feed 'em- don't keep on breeding them! Hell- us taxpayers are funding their contraception, so this shouldn't be so hard...

Lest they forget- as usual

"Battle of Crete veterans Bill Bristow and Roye Hammond, both 94, still plan to fly out to the Greek island tomorrow for 72 anniversary commemorations, even though expense claims of $17,712 each were declined by the Government.

Trip organiser and friend to the trio, Murray Hoare, said the Government seemed to have forgotten a 2011 commitment made to veterans that they would be looked after when attending anniversaries, and he was now likely to fund it himself.

''The politicians have got a convenient memory,'' he said.

''The prime minister and [former Defence Minister Wayne] Mapp committed to funding future trips after it was exposed how badly they were treated, compared to the Australians in 2011...''

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/8670776/Crete-veterans-pay-their-own-way

Politicians are very good at remembering the sacrifices of those who went to war. They usually manage to remember at the point in time when the survivors number in low double figures and are too old or infirm to travel. 

I'm sure there will be free travel for all those WW1 vets, come the centennial next year....

Hell, without any plans a first-year fitter apprentice can turn out a 'Liberator' type firearm- or a much better one. In the backwoods of the USA they were turning out rifled barrels with the most primitive of equipment over 150 years ago. How hard to make a Welrod? A much better choice for the technically minded.

Slight error in sentencing, methinks

This filthy pervert:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/8643100/Paedophile-jailed-for-20-years

-has the '1' missing from the front of his sentence- although not a bad effort for a NZ judge.

I would have rather seen him staked out for the crows- a clean death at the end of a rope is far too merciful for such a piece of excrement.

An interesting fact is that of all the classes of criminals, KF's are the LEAST likely to top themselves inside.

Were that they were not protected from receiving a helping hand on their way...

You chose to live in a glass house

"TV presenter Alison Mau has taken a swipe at a New Zealand gossip magazine for taking intimate snaps of her and her partner at a concert..."

http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/celebrities/8636883/Mau-furious-over-canoodling-pics

You choose to be part of the public face of deviancy and get all precious because you picture is taken?

I would suggest the outrage is that she received no money. Seems happy enough to pose for those trashy wimmens mags, otherwise...

We ARE one of those third world shitholes where such things happen

"...Clients at Parklands, a residential facility in Pukekawa, south of Auckland, were forced to live in crowded, dirty conditions surrounded by more than 35 small dogs, fed inadequate food, neglected by untrained staff, provided with no meaningful activities and denied access to their own money, according to the Ministry of Health...

...on the internet, the Joslins describe Parklands as being in a farm environment and promise clients they will enjoy riding for disabled, farm bike rides, a swimming pool and access to farmyard animals "to add to your quality of life"...

The audit reports reveal something far different - residents were verbally and physically abused, made to do farm work and laundry and pick up dog faeces for as little as $4 per week.

In perhaps the worst example of abuse, a teenage boy who was unable to talk was regularly left unattended in a paddock to eat grass "like an animal"...

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/8633676/Boy-left-to-eat-grass-at-horror-home

That this should happen in New Zealand disgusts me. 

It reads like the story of one of the type of institutions found in the old USSR.

If this is true, people should be looking at a short drop, stopped by a rope! Were it someone I knew in this hell-hole, I would track the owners down and deal out a more meaningful punishment than our soft-dick courts invariably will. 

And the government agencies that are MEANT to oversee these facilities should also be in the dock, for their obvious dereliction of duty!

Bugger 'dignified'

"...the funeral parlor in Worcester is familiar with Muslim services and said it will handle arrangements for Tamerlan Tsarnaev, whose body was released by the state medical examiner Thursday night.

The body initially was taken to a North Attleborough funeral home, where it was greeted by about 20 protesters. Stefan, owner of Graham Putnam and Mahoney Funeral Parlors in Worcester, an hour's drive west of Boston, said everybody deserves a dignified burial service no matter the circumstances of his or her death and he is prepared for protests.

"My problem here is trying to find a gravesite. A lot of people don't want to do it..."

And exactly where is it engraved on a stone monolith, that dead scum are entitled to a 'dignified burial'?

Burnt and the ashes scattered randomly is the mildest solution to disposing of his remains that I would propose. Fed to wild pigs and the remainders buried in a sty is more like it!

No, really...

Hat Tip:Knuckledraggin My Life Away

Thought for the day

A century ago, children of the poor ate gruel.

Now they are fed instant noodles.

Nothing has changed...

So don't do crimes

"In issuing Elijah Akeem Whaanga, 21, his second strike, Judge Tony Adeane told the Hastings man his two "street muggings" that netted "trophies of minimal value" meant his outlook was now "bleak in the extreme".

"When you next steal a hat or a cellphone or a jacket or a skateboard you will be sent to the High Court and there you will be sentenced to 14 years' imprisonment without parole," Judge Adeane said..."

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/8605255/Anger-at-14-year-strike-2-warning

Now the usual suspects are whining like a bus-full of pommy tourists:

"...Professor Warren Bucklands of Auckland University's Faculty of Law said Whaanga's case made a mockery of its promoters' claim that it would target only "the worst of the worst".

"Whaanga's case is an inevitable consequence of the way in which the legislation was drafted and, what's more, was known to Parliament when it was passed," he said..."

I think the law is working as intended. If these criminal scum can't learn (at the expense of at least three VICTIMS) they are put out of the way of decent people.

This young thug has the means to stop a lengthy jail term in his own hands. Just stop mugging people.

It is infuriating to see the hand-wringers trivialize a violent robbery. The fact that the items stolen are of little value is of no real consequence. The actions are what warrants jail time. Can these blinkered fools not see how if this thug continues down this path, it is only a matter of time before he ups the ante and causes a serious injury or death?

Wind the clock back

Nothing really changes in the Village of the Damned

"Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) medical officer of health Dr Alistair Humphrey said it was internationally documented that cold, damp homes have ‘‘an actual physical effect on your health’’.

It is also well-understood that physical health overlaps with mental health and that ‘‘people living in a stressful environment often present with physical manifestations’’.

‘‘Uncertainty is anxiety-inducing and cold winters in cold homes can genuinely cause real physical problems,’’ Humphrey said.

Physical health issues usually start once the temperature inside a house drops below 16 degrees Celsius..."

http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/rebuilding-christchurch/8602902/Health-risks-lurk-in-post-quake-homes

Sounds much like renting in Christchurch 20 years ago. Cold, damp uninsulated and overpriced shit-holes with hopelessly inadequate heating. 

I had a crack in one room that grass grew through from the outside in one place. Drying clothes outside was impossible in the winter and going to bed for warmth was the only alternative to a state of intoxication.

So- what has changed?

Nothing but the best when it's a friggin' socialist

"Baguettes are a very serious business, and only the very best are served to the French president.

"People dreaming of travelling to Mars now have the chance by taking a one-way trip on a Dutch reality TV show.

The show’s production company, called Mars One, is seeking people over 18 with strong health, survival skills and  a reasonable grasp of English.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/science/8590997/Reality-TV-show-offers-trip-to-Mars

The chances of this actually happening are about the same as finding intelligent life there. If Mars were to be colonized by reality tv wannabes, Mars will still be devoid of any form of intelligent life!

People wanting to apply for a position really need to talk to me about this offer I have on magic beans...

False Flag Operations

NO, I don't think so.

While some of those in power are quite capable of ordering such a thing to further their pet causes, it simply is not necessary.

All they need do is spin and exploit the random acts of evil that will happen. HAve a contingency plan in place and as soon as someone goes nuts somewhere and stacks up bodies, these fuckers are exploiting the misery of other to their own ends.

Seventy years ago today

The Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto fought back. Initially, the resistance probably had less weaponry than I have.

But they held off as tough an opponent as you could get. An army well trained, equipped and seasoned in urban warfare.

How would this have panned out if the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto were armed with AR-15's, long-range hunting rifles, a pistol for all who would hake up arms and ammo, food and survival goods caches all through the city?

A different outcome, I believe. Especially if similar uprisings sprung up all over europe simultaneously.

But then, if the citizens of Europe were armed like the patriots of the USA- would this tragic piece of history have ever occurred?

News like this is buried deep and you have to look hard for it. It's not so long since finding a planet around a distant star with a telescope was thought to be impossible.

In the USA where this has happened, it's ironic that so many cannot see what is happening right under their noses...

Waiting for the inevitable backlash

"A Lower Hutt school is combating a lack of interest in reading among its more rambunctious pupils by starting a boys-only book club.

Randwick School has nearly 40 pupils aged between 5 and 13 in its new club, which sprang from principal Simonne Goodall reading teaching material that said boys had little interest in books.

After announcing the club idea to her school of 155 pupils during assembly, she was "told off" by a younger member of her intended audience.

"He said, you need to know that lots of boys do like to read."

He was right. The club membership is growing and, despite the club being in its infancy, the boys have big plans that include castles and forts in the library..."

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/8564316/Book-club-cool-because-theres-no-girls

But really- perhaps if more parents were seen reading books and watching television less, more boys- and girls- would follow their example.

But that would involve activating the cells behind the eyes...

Gun control madness

Reading comments on one of the MSM  'news' sites, I saw a stream of vitriol directed at the US citizens who dare to think their constitution actually means something. Especially Amendment Two.

They seem to actually REMEMBER their history and the tyranny of perfidious Albion has not been forgotten.

But one comment stood out in it's monumental stupidity. I can't quote verbatim, but it went like:

"...name ONE instance where a government official, acting on the orders of the government, killed somebody..."

One hell of a long list, actually.

Arbeit macht frei- ring any bells?

"Recently retired Detective Senior Sergeant Grant Coward has lifted the lid on why police officers are leaving in droves...

..Coward said officers were feeling disheartened with the dramatic changes that had taken place in the past 12 months.

"I think that the key word here is frustration - with budgets, the judiciary, new systems in place alienating the community and traffic taking precedence over everything," Coward said.

"It is a frustration shared by frontline staff."

Coward said he didn't want to sound disgruntled but believed the public had the right to know what was happening..."

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/8549984/Patience-wears-thin-in-police-force/

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/8542743/Formation-leader-negligent-hearing-told

I'm betting that is he HAD aborted the fight, he would have been dragged over the coals for doing so. I'm sure the conversation would have gone along the lines 'So do you expect a war to stop because you don't feel safe flying in the rain?'

For those who don't know-

"A Royal Commission of Inquiry in 1980 found Hutton and one of his detectives, Len Johnston, faked evidence against Thomas by planting a cartridge case from Thomas' rifle at the murder scene." (from the above link)

If 'integrity beyond reproach' includes planting evidence- well- what can I say....

Which act is more offensive?

"Three nephews of MP Hone Harawira, accused of beating up a 12-year-old boy, appeared in court this afternoon.

Ngawha Springs

Spent the day at the hot pools today. It was great to see something rough and ready- not overdeveloped for the delicate sensitivities of the tourist market. Wooden sides to the pools and real mud and sand in them! Nothing matched or was pretty and it had the DIY appeal of the classic NZ bach- before they were torn down and replaced by million dollar McMansions.

$4 for adults and a buck each for the boys.

We will return. This is the first time in many years that I have been pain-free while being totally sober!

And I must say I prefer smelling of sulfur to smelling of chlorine by-products...

How is the drought working out for you?

Not so good, probably.

It's going to get worse.

So ask yourself- where are all the dams that could be storing water for drinking and irrigation?

Thats right- they haven't been built- thanks to the RMA and greenie appeasement.

So when you get told you can't water your garden, have gotten shit prices for the stock you must thin out or you can't flush the crapper- you know who to blame.

So stop voting for parties that are into greenie appeasement.

And physically punish the next greenie that opens their mouth and that included to draw breath!

Some animals are more equal than others

"The police officer who shot at the great white pointer shark which killed swimmer Adam Strange off Muriwai Beach is in hiding for fear he will be hounded by animal rights activists.

Angry comments about the officer's actions have already peppered social media sites and talkback radio. He's been called "gung ho" and "over-eager" by some, said Rodney police area commander, Senior Sergeant Scott Webb..."

Feckin' incredible! A shark kills a man and the cop who shoots at it has now offended the 'animals are more important than us' loons!

As for the SPCA- they have gone from crazy cat-worshiping single women to just plain barking mad, with the following statement from the chief fish-hugger:

"...most people understood the risks of swimming at sea, and killing a shark for its actions was unnecessary..."

I do wonder what is REALLY in those drums of chemicals I put in the water...

There is much arse-trumpeting going on amongst the Socialist scum of the USA regarding 'GUN VIOLENCE'.

Let's just remove the word 'Gun' and we get to an actual problem. VIOLENCE.

Yes, there is a problem with violence and if you want to sort a problem, one has to look at ALL the facts.

One of the least important facts would be what tool was involved. You are just as dead when firebombed, gassed, shot or beaten about the head with a hammer. The last kills more people that the dreaded black scary 'assault rifle'.

The real issues are who is doing the killing and why. By understanding and knowing these facts, the problem can be tackled head-on.

But the problem is that the truth shows that certain ethnic groups are behind the great majority of ALL types of violence and that is not palatable to the powers that be. Those demographics are THEIR voters.

So this is ignored and the blame is misdirected to where there is no real problem.

From the 'useful idiots'- the nihilistic tribalists- to those who love freedom and remember the lessons of the past regarding tyrannical governments.

Oh wait- they are the problem- to those who would rule...

Cowardly, scummy, shit-eating, lowlife vermin

"As locals mourn the loss of a Featherston man who "wouldn't hurt a fly", police have arrested a fifth person sought in connection with his brutal death.."

In common with the other three murders that have occurred in this town, the victim has been at a complete disadvantage to his assailants- either by numbers or, in the other two case, being elderly or a helpless child.

The last two have been savagely beaten to death by marauding low-life thugs for little, if any, reason.

How the hell can we NOT have a death penalty?

When you hold a hammer, all you see is nails

34 meters away and through a scope. Apparently he checked twice.

"...Worsp had taken time to properly identify the target, twice sighting it through his scope, and believed what he had seen was in fact a deer..."

34 friggin' meters...

Thats right- these things happen when you get a summer

Having not had a real one for a couple of years, I'm now having a reminder that your skin falls off when you get too much of the big yellow burny thing in the sky...

Punishment to fit the crime

Don't ban the paintball guns- give these cretins some jail time!

Two tribes

Interesting here- when calling service providers one detects a serious distain until the second they perceive that you are not lower class- that is, on a benefit.

A simple broken window= The glazier stated that this MUST be a cash job- until he arrived and made an on the spot call that we were not WINZ clients. Of course we paid cash and recieved the usual discount. Can't fault the guy at all!

No surprises here.

This is why NZ'rs have this 'illogical' thing about property ownership...

Not buying into the hype

That was over rather painlessly- without the need to spend more than usual on groceries. For all that, nobody went hungry. The only unusual dish was a bucket of trifle, eaten over the course of three days. That and  Christmas pudding we haven't gotten around to eating yet.
Now it's back to work...

For those who like to bag the USA

The old line of ' Only in America' is a load of arse.

Happened here once...

Still waiting

I seem to have missed the end of the world. Again.

I did think that the dead had risen this afternoon, but it was just Saturday in Pak&save...

My house is experiencing it!

The Reality of the situation

Background story here:

There is always a bigger (or uglier) fish

I thought that the Masterton Warehouse just before Christmas was something that could inspire Dante's work.

That was just purgatory.

The Whangarei Warehouse is a trip to a lower circle of the Hot Place. I'm sure I could smell sulfur.

But that could have been one of the ruminant beasts dawdling about like it was time to get on the truck headed to the works.

And what is it with She-mountains and that place. Surely somebody else must stock size XXXXXXXXL stretch pants and cheap chocolate?

Or is the Warehouse actually a cunning plan? MY conspiracy theory for the day is that it is really owned by a consortium of other retail chains and serves the purpose of keeping the unwashed, the morbidly obese and they ill-mannered and destructive spawn elsewhere.

Damn my Scots genes that make me seek the bottom price!

Who needs it?

I just realized that I have not watched a single minute of television in two months now. Don't miss it in the slightest.

Not that I was much for watching it before that. The odd bit of National Geographic or Discovery- usually about science or engineering.

The demon Sky box has long gone and will not be returning, so it should not be hard to be abstinent...

Forgotten a few details from the past?

"...He also quoted Bain at the conclusion of his interview as saying: "The only thing I can reiterate is that these five members of my family were my life. They were part of who I was. We were extremely close. We all loved each other dearly. The last thing that I could possibly have done is to take their lives.

"I find it difficult hurting an animal but to take a person's life, let alone my own family's life, is unimaginable and not only have I served 13 years in prison for doing this, I've also served the so-called sentence of being labelled a convicted killer and a murderer..." (Bold Mine)

So- around the time of the murders- what were you doing with the rifle?

I do recall you had been shooting rabbits.

Anyone else notice the strong smell of BULLSHIT?

Exactly the sort of corruption that is endemic amongst councils.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/christchurch-earthquake/8071131/Foul-called-over-engineer-shouldering-CTV-blame

I worked in construction in Christchurch from 1984- 1987.

Us unwashed plebs often asked 'how can you get the ok to build on shit land like this'- sand or peat swamp that liquified if you look at it.

But no- we were 'unqualified' and council engineers knew best.

Time has shown who was right...

Normal service to resume soon

I will be back in the land of real internet in 10 days, after two months of existing off T-sticks that sometimes work and crappy free wifi.

Most of my data has been used for house-hunting and precious little for leisure.

I'm in a new town, with plenty of new stuff to vent about- or I could just spend the time fishing.

We will see...

It's starting to dawn on NZ- or is it?

I heard an observation yesterday- that company service and the standard of tradesmen is going steadily down and that when trying to select a contractor for a tender, the bidders are all uniformly poor performers (as compared with the past)

Is it a case of  'the good old days are gone' and, as is the way, the winters of the youth were colder and the summers hotter, the beer cheaper and the girls prettier?

NO.

When the question was put "where are the good tradesmen we used to be able to get?', I answered 'AUSTRALIA'.

This is where so much of our talent has gone and it is getting really noticeable in the trades (probably with professionals of all kinds, but I deal mostly with the trades)

When we bleed of the population of a small city every year, it's not the feckless, the idlers and those who would not be missed that jump the ditch.

It's those who we NEED to keep the country moving forward. Soon we will have trouble just keeping it working.

Look around at those working in infrastructure and you will see more grey hair than otherwise...

blogger and android don't frickin work!

sort of here

Attitude adjustment

Is when you mention to the rental agent that you own property and are looking to buy....

It's true

They say that three moves is the same as a house fire.

I'm thinking I would prefer the house fire.

Preferably with the house full of rental agents....

A new home

Not bad up here in the far north. It would be paradise if we were allowed to shoot the poor, the idle and the criminals. But then, so would everywhere...

If the US falls, we all go with them.

He COULD have had to pack my house up for a move...

I know how he feels

They haven't blown it up yet, but it's well on the way to being ruled by damn dirty apes...

Finally, they have realized that one moves forward by little steps. They should have looked to how the cancer of socialism grew.

Don't frighten the sheeple with bold, decisive moves! You have to creep up on them first.

On Fanatics

A German's View on Islam - worth reading. This is by far the best explanation of the Muslim terrorist situation I have ever read. His references to past history are accurate and clear. Not long, easy to understand, and well worth the read. The author of this email is Dr. Emanuel Tanya, a well-known and well-respected psychiatrist.

A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.

'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.'

We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the specter of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.

The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.

The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous. Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.

And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'?

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.

Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late. As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts--the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes this email without sending it on, is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on and on! Let us hope that thousands, world-wide, read this and think about it, and send it on - before it's too late.

Now Islamic prayers have been introduced into Toronto and other public schools in Ontario, and, yes, in Ottawa too while the Lord's Prayer was removed (due to being so offensive?) The Islamic way may be peaceful for the time being in our country until the fanatics move in. And we are silent.......

Time for this again

Now I need a girl's name

Try another trick

Leave the age for purchasing drink where it is, BUT bring back the offence of public drunkeness AND add an extra penalty on for offenses comitted when pissed.

Simple.

It's called accountability.

Politicians look it up in a dictionary...

Suicide is painless

Suicide rate in prisons 'a disgrace' - reformists

I reckon it is too.

But it is easily rectified.

A strong hook on each cell ceiling along with rope and a wobbly stool- problem sorted.

Your reality check bounced

"...A teenage father has been sentenced to a year's home detention for repeated assaults on his infant daughter that resulted in her legs being broken in five places..."

There are more signs of intelligent life on Mars than in in NZ courts.  A year's home D for torturing a baby- peole get more for growing weed in their garages.

This country is FUBAR....

Try it- assholes

"Mrs Baker-Hogan said members of the public were keen to speak at the meeting, ranging from victims of sexual abuse to those proposing ‘‘vigilante justice’’ on Wilson if he was released.

She realised Wilson had to be released under the law but said there were other options for his release such as army camps and it was unfair to lump him on Whanganui."

Try it.

Release a pervert in an Army Camp.

He would have the life expectancy of a Mayfly.

For those that can't use Google- that is 24 hours. Unless you get a broomstick rammed up your rectum. That has been known to happen for much less...

Problems on Mars

Looks like they let the rabbit population get out of control...

If you have to ask what- you are in the wrong place.
