Good stuff – I’ve been looking forward to one of these since I was un-banned. Let’s start by talking about where the donations to KTB are coming from. Or perhaps about whether DPF will be covering the Labour party conference this weekend or about the interesting bit in the Molesworth about how work rights are gonna be a major issue next year and how National better start panicking about that… God the choice is endless!

Nah,
Lets talk about how sod, Tane, nome et al can afford to spend so much time at their computers and whether or not they are on benefits or just stealing their employer;’s bandwidth and time?

And where is sonic? in jail? fled the country? got lost up his own kilt trying to find heaven on earth? where oh where?

lets talk about beautiful women!

or, given that sort of thing is frowned upon these days (publicly anyway), how about why that silly tv program “How to look good naked” only ever has less attractive types in the nude. If they want to know ho to look good naked, just get a Jessica Alba or a Rachel Hunter to show them

At present if someone tests HIV positive they are not obliged to tell any of their past sexual partners and the authorities are not even allowed to inform say a married man’s wife.

This means someone who has been at high risk will not get tested and have an opportunity to take drugs that will very much improve there quality of life and outcome. It will also mean that if the person who is notified will get tested and be very unlikely to pass on the virus.

The AIDS Foundation has been consistently opposed to HIV being classed as a notifiable disease. In other words a homosexual or bisexuals right to privacy trumps other people’s lives and public health.

No doubt I will be attacked by liberals and called a homophobe because they cannot com up with a logical argument.

Rising AIDS worries morals group
2/11/2007 7:16:03

A Christian morality group wants HIV to be classified as a notifiable disease, after a total of 177 people were diagnosed with the virus last year.

The status would make it mandatory for doctors to notify health authorities of a patient’s condition, which is then entered into a nationwide database.

Society for Promotion of Community Standards spokesman David Lane says the spread of HIV is at a crisis point, and it needs to be given notifiable status to reduce the risk posed to the community. He says it is the only way to stop the spread of HIV.

David Lane says the gay community is doing a lot to try and avert the crisis, but admits the safe sex message is not working.
70 of the new infections were identified among gay men, and the Aids Foundation is welcoming a debate on the idea.

Chief Executive Rachael Le Mesurier says the Ministry of Health is drafting a Bill looking at making HIV a notifiable disease. She says while she is looking forward to discussing the issue, she is wary some moral watch groups will use it as a platform to criticise homosexuals.

Mr Lane is also concerned about a new ‘rapid’ HIV test, which gives results back in 20 minutes.

Aids Foundation centres across the country are offering the test, which it describes as ‘revolutionary’, but David Lane says it is giving people a false sense of security. He says HIV has a dormancy period of eight weeks, and unless people do not refrain from sex in that time frame, before the test, the results are worthless.

Mr Lane says the Aids Foundations needs to properly inform people about how the test works.

so..eating meat is killing you/giving you cancers..

(that’s now proven..)

and the recent (under-publicised) auckland university-proven dangers of consuming dairy products..

dairy is responsible for ‘thickening our blood’..and causing/heart/stroke/diabetes/hypertension problems..

(and explains our world-beating’ rates of these diseases/ailments.)

(that now..also all proven..)

the production of it..meat..and dairy..

..not only causes institutional barbaric/cruel practises/tortures of those animals eaten..

(widely ‘proven’..)

but is also causing over 50% of our environmental/climatechange filthy/degraded/polluted waterways..

(this also widely proven..)

given all the above ‘provens’..

how on earth could/can anyone claim to be an ‘environmentalist/green..?

to care about the planet’..

and what we are (very very fast) doing to it..

and still think it is ‘ok’ to still farm/eat animals..?

could someone explain that to me..?

and i know you can’t..

there are no excuses you could profer that could add even the slightest shred of credibility to any claims to justify these ongoing barbarisms..

are there..?

i mean..how much more ‘evidence’ do you need/want..?

before you’ll ‘mend yr ways’..

eh..?

yes..!..i’m talking to you..!

Vto –
Having Jess or Rach would defeat the purpose. Reality TV is all about humiliation. And it’s much more fun for the producers to humiliate someone who’s already halfway there off their own bat, as they’re more likely to cry/swear/throw things. Plus I don’t think they could improve on Jessica Alba…

and how are you all measuring up..?

to these new/loud imperatives..?

still planning on sticking to your ‘death-for-all-diets’..?

and still feeding good about feeding (now-proven) cancerous poisons to your children/families..?

buggerlugs – true re improvements on jessica alba. what about someone not quite perfect but getting there. one of the gorgeous tv presenters currently ‘on offer’.

philu – good points but you miss the main point. man has been eating meat for who knows how long. continue your campaign but I imagine changing that will take an evolutionary period. Or, if you’re right just get the govt to ban meat!

Puzzled in Ekatahuna

Apart from the Fart Tax fiasco, Labour had really little to say about Climate Change, but suddenly found it last Labour Conference when little else but Phillip Field promised to dominate their weekend. Now is Trevor’s honesty to be a big issue this weekend, after Helen’s rewriting of history [be it only a week old] or do they really have anything more exciting to hang a conference around?

Molesworth Featherston reckons Labour will run hard on work rgihts next year and have a “scare campaign that says National will cut pay and conditions”

scare campaign?

We only need to look at the stats, history, and National’s statements to see its true.

Under National, wages rose more slowly, especially for those on low incomes. http://www.thestandard.org.nz/?cat=37

Work rights were reduced by the ECA, they privitised ACC and were going to make the 3rd week of annual leave saleable.

And still they constantly go on about reducing ‘labour costs’, 80% of which in New Zealand is wages. They know they have no policy to raise wages, that’s why they have to try to bribe us with tax cuts instead.

But is a tax cut worth a pay cut from National?

Odds of being murdered last year in New Zealand – 1 in 90,000

Odds of being murdered by someone unknown to you last year in NZ – 1 in 250,000

Odds of being murdered by a guy you don’t know who killed his wife while he is on the run from the law – priceless?

you know like school tuck shops. Interesting they backed away on taxing takeaways.

But bit by bit, and slow change, the country is being channelled beneath our noses. Could you imagine if someone from the middle seventies was moved directly forward to 2007. They would have a culture shock that would break their heart. and no one would definitely believe you if you were to go back and tell them. And the silly trhing is no one knows the process even has a name…. Fabian Socialism.

Ask anyone on Radio Pacific, they won’t have an inkling what you’re on about. Just call you a conspiracy nut.

Do you think politicians just leave everything up to chance and tomorrows another day??

About Robinsod,
Why don’t you people just ignore this person? Whoever this person is should act their age not shoe size.
Robinsod is here to disrupt and provoke and insult, yet any insult back is met with more provocation or insult.
See this person on monday morning? not likely, I will be working and paying tax to keep the non productive people in employment.
Get a life and do some real work Robinsod.
That means 10 hours and 30 min for lunch.

Steve – “act their age not shoe size”? What are you like 12 years old? I’m interested to know you’ve got a job that takes up 10 1/2 hours of your day. Could your lack of work/life balance explain your embittered and intolerant attitude? Perhaps you should take a break and stop and smell the flowers ‘cos bro, nobody else is gonna do it for you and we’re all dead a very long time.
