LeftRightOut

Who can trust the tories with the treasure? Buggers can’t even get basic maths correct.

The figures said that 54.32 per 1000 women aged 15-17 years old fell pregnant, which becomes 5.4%, not the 54% the Tories had arrived at.

Govenment in secrecy.

Come on John Key, what has happened to open and transparent government, you know, the very foundation of democracy?

Whanau Ora report handed to government, will not be released publicly until government and racist party have an agreement.

Foreshore and Seabed review completed, report will not be released until government and racist party have come to an agreement.

When do the rest of us get to have a read, and a say?

Add this to the debacle with Auckland council mergers, a done deal before Auckland ratepayers had a chance to have any input to the process and you have a government that operates in secrecy and tells the rest of us to “just suck it up”. (Which govt minister recently sued that line?)

Reminded me of a job creation (or protection) scheme mentioned in a movie, the babysitter pinpricked all their employer’s condoms to try and ensure continuity of employment.

Microsoft have just unveiled the Windows 7 phone. its basically an operating system. they have signed up 8 or so manufacturers (samsung etc). they have strict minimum hardware requirements, the phone has to look a certain way etc

Reports are already saying it is better than the Iphone. on looks and functionality.

It also have an xbox live tie in. no other phone ties into a gaming system. it will be released end of year.

There is both touch screen and keyboard phones.

Apparently it will be great for email.

Im looking forward to having a play with one. it might replace my blackberry!

heres a link:

“I’m sorry, Cupertino, but Microsoft has nailed it. Windows Phone 7 feels like an iPhone from the future. The UI has the simplicity and elegance of Apple’s industrial design, while the iPhone’s UI still feels like a colorized Palm Pilot.”

Whanau Ora?

What is it and why do I get the horrible feeling it’s going to cost a bomb and achieve little?

– Tariana Turia tell us it is “Maori solutions to Maori problems”.
– Why hasn’t it been trialled and shown to work? (blue-sky welfare policies don’t have a high success rate at the best of times)
– Why doesn’t anyone except the Maori Party know what it involves? (where is our government on this?)
– Why does a uniquely Maori solution require a lot of taxpayer money?
– Why doesn’t it also have an english name?
– Is John Key trying desperately to tack a “For All NZer’s” label onto this scheme because he’s just realised that voters might not appreciate apartheid policies?

It is wise to spend a lot of money on an untrialled scheme, which few government MPs can explain and which comes from a culture which has – more than any other in NZ – failed to solves it’s own problems?

Is it post-colonial guilt or MMP or both which sees the NZ government spending up to $1 billion on a scheme hatched in secret between the government and the Maori Party and with almost no public scrutiny?

I believe that any taxonomic system that would ‘key off’ Redbaiter as a libertarian has some major flaws in the defined traits. Or if you prefer, wow, that’s a pretty crappy definition instantly invalidated by the classing of Redbaiter as libertarian.

I’d have to say this is one case where PZ should stick to the pharyngulans.

I wonder if anyone has actually calculated how much extra we pay for our power because of the infatuation with wind generation in NZ?

Other countries especially Spain seem to be in deep trouble over it, and it was fascinating to observe the negligible contribution of the billions invested in wind power during the UK’s recent cold snap, because there was no wind right when power demand was high.

Believe me, we’re not infatuated with wind power. We make very little use of it.

The economics of windpower in NZ are actually very good if we can site them in optimal locations. That’s very hard to do (e.g. the Te Waka farm has been repeatedly turned down in environment court). That means we end up having to build them too small in locations that aren’t optimal because of the RMA. It’s got nothing to do with the economics.

Windpower in NZ has several advantages compared to continental countries.

First, we’re an oceanic island. That makes wind currents far more constant and regular, as there aren’t adjacent landmasses and mountains in the way to create new convection currents or disrupt flows.

Second, NZ is arranged very nicely in the path of major trade winds coming across the Tasman. Wind in NZ is strong and predictable- features often absent in European or US continental windfarms.

Third, NZ is lacking in a lot of endangered flying birds. It would have to be a very depressed kiwi to make it up a wind-swept bare hill, climb up a turbine and jump into the blades. Other countries have more environmental spillovers into birdstrike.

Fourth, wind turbine technology has improved greatly in the last ten years with much higher yields of electricity, and an ability to operate in even stronger winds.

Fifth, the clean up costs of removing a wind farm are pretty benign. Clean up costs of a fossil fuel generator are quite high as you have a lot of heavy metals to deal with.

Anyway, the point is you can’t assume the economics of windfarms on continents and oceanic islands are the same. They’re not- oceanic islands are economically much more attractive.

Hey dime, Sony had a phone which hooked into the PS3 last year. Aino. There may be a better source of information on it, obviously it hasn’t been that successful yet but then Sony is classic for inventing proprietary solutions that would be good but only work if all of your gear is Sony, somewhat like Microsoft.

Having read one of the five central hadiths and the koran, I find it amazing that this is only being discussed now, that two home grown Muslims have killed Americans.

We have, it’s all about chemistry. The eukaryote cell isn’t all that hard to examine. I don’t think people appreciate how advances in genetic technology in the last 30 years have yielded such an accurate map of how cells and genes behave.

Actually I think that the use of the pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells as the compelling case of our lack of understanding on human cells is:
(a) A pretty desperate gambit given the preponderance of other cells we have improved our understanding on; and
(b) a claim that is at odds with the research on pluripotency in the last 3-4 years.

When we get down to it, life at the cellular level is just biochemical reactions.

Chthoniid 5:59 pm,

Emotions are biochemical reactions that can be modified by, well, chemicals.

I just love the authority of the above statement – even though it rings of more a statement of faith.
Emotions are a product of the soul. Just as are thoughts, conscience, sin – in other words the mind (independent of the brain).

If all that is required for ’emotions’ is a bunch of biochemical reactions, then perhaps you can tell me how my dinner is ‘feeling’ about now as it’s being cooked on the hob.

Five Muslims convicted in Australia terror plot
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
15/02/2010 08:25

An Australian court Monday sentenced five Muslim extremists to prison terms of 23 to 28 years after convicting them of preparing for terror attacks on unspecified targets by stockpiling explosive chemicals and firearms.

Justice Anthony Whealy of the New South Wales Supreme Court said he had little hope that the men, aged 25 to 44, could be rehabilitated, saying they were motivated by “intolerant, inflexible religious conviction” and had shown contempt for the Australian government, its leaders and laws.

The men were found guilty last October on charges linked to preparing for a terrorist act between July 2004 and November 2005. The men — Australian-born or naturalized citizens with Muslim immigrant backgrounds — had all pleaded not guilty to the charges.

They had stockpiled explosive chemicals and firearms, though it was not established where they would target.

During the trial, a former associate of the suspects testified that the group had considered bombing an Australian Rules football final in Melbourne in 2005 that was attended by almost 92,000 people. Prosecutors said they had also discussed killing former Prime Minister John Howard.

And some people wonder why thinking Kiwis are against Muslim immigration and settlement within New Zealand.
Notice that the Muslims were “Australian-born or naturalized citizens with Muslim immigrant backgrounds”. It’s not a matter of if, but when will NZ have its first act of terrorism committed by naturalised or NZ born Muslims.

Wake up sleepers, else you’ll be dead in your beds.

LeftRightOut 7:32 pm,

Kris, the only terrorist attack on NZ soil was committed by Christians. Any reason why the next one won’t be?

Care to elucidate?
Or are you implying the Rainbow Warrior as per Johnboy’s suggestion?
If so, any proof the agents, or those that sent them were Christians, and were, in fact, following ‘biblical instruction’ (from the New Testament, please)?

Chthoniid 7:46 pm,

My intention tonight is to mess up with the biochemical signals in my brain via a liberal ingestion of alcohol, prompted by a friend and colleague who died abruptly on Sunday due to cerebral malaria.

I fear I will be entirely too maudlin, or depressing to be around tonight, so will bid you all good night.

My sympathies for the loss of your friend and colleague.
I will try to ease your “biochemical signals” (emotions) the only way I know apart from my above expression of sympathy – I’ll pray for you that you might know God’s peace at this time, and that He will speak to you through your grief. He really does love His creatures, you know.

“He really does love His creatures, you know.”

Does that apply to all life on earth, or just humans?

“Is this blog a Band of Mothers?
Go do the washing up deluded Viking.”

Ya have to laugh at that 🙂

Have to say, this mess of a thread caused a few chuckles tonight, it is either that some funny comments were written or I have consumed to much cider! 🙂

He just doesn’t like Moslems. Or does he, only you don’t like Moslems? You always sound pretty envious of them and the way they run their religion.
Maybe he likes Moslems more, because they believe so much in him they even are willing to die for him. That should impress him.
Worked in the old days.

I don’t know, I get confused with all this religious bullshit, who loves who and who doesn’t.

What pisses me off the most about Muslims/Islamics is they are all hiding this one little secret which is called let’s take over the world, kill everyone and get revenge.

I mean come on, innocent people get slaughtered by MUSLIMS and the other Billion of them just look away and whistle and go, hey, not our faction, and point and say, they went that a way!

OK, so if a small extremist faction of Christians start murdering innocent people like homocidal suicidal maniacs, at least the Christians will go, hey, not only is that not us, not our beliefs, but we highly criticize their actions.

You see, the last part is important.

There is no criticism, funny that.

WAKE UP PEOPLE THESE PEOPLE WANT TO MURDER YOU, REVENGE YOU, THEY HAVE BEEN PLANNING YOUR MASS MURDER FOR YEARS!!

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!

Get off of your apathetic asses and do something.

How could France react first?

Sad.

It’s not easy to say I told you so after you are and your family are dead with their throats cut.

That is why we have a thing called instincts.

Use them.

No one reall used them before World Wat Two, remember?

Hmm, peaceful Christians.

You mean ones like Christopher Colombus, dedicated slave trader and slaughterer of indigenous populations wherever he went (those pesky buggers had to be slaughtered to be taught how to be civilised!).

Then you have Christians like Harry Truman, the only man to have used nuclear weapons outside of tests, slaughtering hundreds of thousands.

Stalin, the atheist, authorised the killing 30 million of this own people, but he helped us win the war, so that was OK by us Christians.

Genghis Khan and his mongols, in Mesopotamia alone killed 7,000,000, nearly all Muslims. Who survived? Christians, Jews and Zoroastrians. The collaborators.

European (ie Christian) civil wars during the last two thousand years, how many dead? A few hundred million?

And in the 1990s, the world watched for a long time as a campaign of genocide raged against Bosnian Muslims (originally a Christian sect, perhaps the forerunner of Protestantism, pacifists and puritans) by the Serbian Christians. I have read accounts of women being raped 150 times in a few weeks. Of babies impaled on stakes, or thrown into ravines. Of whole villages of peaceful Muslims murdered in concentration camps. By Christians. A couple of decades ago.

And let’s not forget the million or so Iraqis killed by, yes, Christian G W Bush.

But Muslims killed 3000 Americans and a few hundred of us white people around the world, and they are the bad buggers!

Hmm, peaceful Christians.

Hmm, peaceful GD. Now probably not.

Surely somewhere on the internet there is a tally up of how many people each religion has killed. Maybe broken down by faction/sect/denomination within each religion. Then we would know accurately who to abuse the most.

Actually I’m not to worried by the Mongols, they don’t seem to be much of a threat at the moment. Vlad the Impaler doesn’t seem to be threatening right now either.

There’s no question that the biggest mass murderers have always been secular progressives. 100 million to their name at least.

Redbirther, care to cite a source for that? No doubt you plucked the figure from the same place you keep plucking your other lies.

Sources are plentiful. That you are apparently ignorant of them is a reason that should help you accept the fact that your posts here are the work of an empty headed moron.

It’s meaningless grouping a wide range of people under one “secular progressives” label, just as pointless as grouping others into “god believing killers”. Some have used a god or gods as an excuse, some have conveniently ignored their supposed faith, and some just do it using other excuses.
