“..One day, a new generation will awaken to the harm done this country during those halcyon years when Uncle Ronnie made the ‘gopper-inclined’ feel good about themselves ..

.. as only goppers and the gopper-inclined can feel good about themselves .. while stepping over people made homeless by their policies.

Was it under Reagan that we lost that last remaining ounce of empathy?

The dishonest among us will deny reality, call us a ‘name’’, or pretend not to know or understand what we’re talking about.

The rest of us may agree –yes –it was during the Reagan years that our shaky moral footing slipped.

Before Reagan, there was hope albeit inspired by dimming light.

After Reagan, nothing mattered but wealth and power.

Life held little promise.

Thus was born of goppo-nomics a nilhistic world in which nothing mattered .. as all fame is fleeting ..

.. and wealth is whatever someone else wants at the moment and, perhaps ..

.. worth nothing tomorrow when resources grow scarce and oil has run its course..”

Here is an excellent hymn that I want to share with my fellow atheists on this thread on this lovely Easter Friday, Christ the Lord is Risen Today . Ignore the origin of the song, just listen to the beautiful harmony.

wife gone down to Wanganui for the weekend so what can I do .. lets see, skywatch .. F1, Super14 (not that super so far), NRL, SOCCER (I mean football), NBL, Golf .. and World Darts .. plenty of wine, enough Bourbon and pizza available.
Thank goodness for the dogs to get me out of the house for a bit of exercise.

No, actually, I haven’t.

Ever noticed how the people with the most wealth whinge and moan about others getting a thin slice of it? A la John Key “I’d like to see wages in NZ lower.”?

That Hymn you posted the link to is meant to be sung on Easter Sunday, when we rejoice.
For those of you who are interested, here is a link to a Humn we sang in church this morning, after a sad service – one for Good Friday. How Deep the Father’s Love for us.

One wonders what the outcome would have been if the disciple Peter had not denied knowing Jesus three times, and said ‘Yep, I’m with him”?

I’d like to see the tax rate for all, at 20%, and no tax until your income is say $15,000. Then there would be lots of business come to NZ, and our productivity would rise, and we wouldn’t have to prop up the economy with the obscene amount we are borrowing every month to stay afloat.

Another April 1 hoax filters through from Britain

The tabloid, The Sun repported it had a new printing process, Flair Spool, that allowed it to inject flavours into paper.

Sun readers were urged to taste a blank square on the page and guess the flavour. The patch bore the warning: “May contain nuts.”

Pete George 11:08 am,

Easter is obviously different things to different people. How ever you like to do it, have a good one!

While your statement is indeed true, Pete, and I also wish everyone a good break, I would ask people to just pause for a moment and think on the significance of Easter.

What is the significance of Easter?

According to the Bible, Christ died on Easter Friday for the sins of the world – yours, mine, and for all Mankind throughout all human history. He died in our place that we might not have to; and not just physically, but spiritually. When He was on the cross and bearing our sin He was, for the one and only time, separated from God the Father – the Bible describes this as ‘spiritual death’. Christ Himself highlighted this when He said, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” [Mt 27:46] – God the Father could not look on Christ while He bore our sins – He became sin for us:

2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

And thus, by Christ dieing spiritually in our place, He made a way for us to not have to suffer spiritual death ourselves. If we receive Christ as our Lord and Saviour, and by doing so acknowledge that He paid the price for our sins by His death on the cross, then, we can be sure in the knowledge that we will not have to suffer ‘spiritual death’ personally.

The person who dies without Christ WILL die spiritually, that is, be separated from God for all eternity. And the only place which is outside of God’s presence is the Lake of Fire prepared for Satan and his (fallen) angels [Mt 25:41]. This is where Christ rejectors will reside for all eternity. And this is why Christ came – that we might not HAVE TO end up in this place of woe.

This is summarised extremely well in a very well known biblical verse; John 3:16. Here also are the verses either side of this important verse:

Joh 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him [Christ] should not perish [be sent to the Lake of Fire], but have eternal life.
Joh 3:16 For God [the Father] so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten [God the] Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Verse 17 highlights that God’s desire is not that the world might be condemned, but that rather the world might repent of its sin through acknowledging Christ as their Lord and Saviour, and by doing so, might be SAVED.

Will you receive Christ this day? Will you receive God’s gift of salvation this day?

My prayer is that you will.

Wouldn’t it be nice not to be bored shitless and be able to go to the hardware store/garden centre/shopping mall and buy stuff? I think it would be, and the workers who end up working will be glad as they will get extra pay and a day in lieu.
For the record, yes I am working today, and will be on the other holidays too.

Nothing wrong with ancient Andrei – we’ve gone back to one of the mainstream churches over the last year or so, and there is something very comforting about the traditional style of worship.

“Ignore the origin of the song, just listen to the beautiful harmony.”

Here is one of my favourites, I believe the origin of this song was from the USA in the South during some very difficult times. This particular incarnation was recorded in China and I believe it is a visiting choir from the US, just some dude with a camcorder but it has still captured how the human voice can sound so awesome, the sustained bit at 3:30 is kind of spine tingling.

Now Anna Paquin has “come out” and said she is bisexual….

Of course it’s trendy for Hollywood ‘elite’ to dabble with bisexuality/homosexuality – gives them more ‘credibility’ for the causes they may wish to support and/or push.

Sad when so many of our young ones idolise such people.

So you picked up on my ‘idolise’ – very good! Little gods, indeed.
I have often wondered why it is that women in particular (via women’s magazines) go in for all this celebrity crap? And why is it that these so called celebrities seem to feel they MUST make comment on everything from world peace, queer rights, AGW and the associated ‘save the world’ programmes, etc?

Of course it’s very seldom (if ever?) that you’ll hear one commenting on injustices against Israel, or the latest terrorist atrocity perpetrated by adherents to the ‘Religion of Peace’.

And my solution to the problem (I’ll probably be accused of it anyway) is to line them up and shoot the lot of them (joke, people, joke).

New topic for a minute…

Those interested in the foreshore and seabed question might find interesting Jim Mora’s panel discussion (part 1) on Radio NZ yesterday (link below). It takes a few minutes to get to Dover Samuels, Maori former Labour MP, who gives a most interesting view on National’s planned foreshore and seabed legislation.

Jock Anderson is okay, as is Jim, but Rosemary McLeod, gives the usual pallid, weak, liberal view (you will remember she branded Don Brash a racist for saying all people should be equal under the law).

Dover Samuels is a character and a rough diamond. The MSM ridiculed Samuels when he allegedly urinated in a hotel pot plant when he was under the weather. (What is it about pissing in an inappropriate place that so particularly inflames the contemporary MSM, when the MSM are so liberal on drugs, promiscuity, secularism, and general anti-family behaviour, and praise boozing so long as its of wine or boutique-brewery beer?)

I found the Samuels view interesting partly because National’s new policy seems to be driven by Chris Finlayson, who is proud of the settlement he negotiated on behalf of Ngai Tahu. That settlement, it seems to me, was an injustice to non-Ngai Tahu South Islanders by giving Ngai Tahu first and second rights of purchase for Crown assets in the South Island for ever. Those discriminated against include non-Ngai Tahu Maori, who now outnumber Ngai Tahu in the south.

The link (if it doesn’t work, go to Radio NZ, select National, then Afternoons with Jim Mora).

http://whoar.co.nz/2010/jenny-shipley-is-the-director-of-a-company-that-has-been-fined-for-air-pollution-every-year-since-2004in-chinaroutinely-noted-by-locals-as-the-worst-pollutersohthey-processsell-animal-skinsleather/

(this story is posted at frogblog:..)

“..What would you say if I were to tell you that a New Zealand company has been fined every year since 2004 for breaches of air pollution regulations — in China?

What if I was to tell you this company, which has strong New Zealand links – including a former Prime Minister on the board –, is still breaching air quality standards?

You’d probably be appalled.

Richina, a company that owns Mainzeal construction, has been operating out of Shanghai since 1996.

It produces leather and has been the supplier for a wide range of well known brands.

For one thing you just need to imagine how hard it is to breach air pollution regulations in China.

Having been to China and blown my nose and seen black boogers come out I imagine that air quality is not one of their strong points –

– so these guys must really be doing something wrong.

Another reason is a New Zealand company thinks since we have tight regulations here it is okay to go pollute someone one else’s back yard.

Is this part of our free trade agreement with China, we can pollute there and they can buy our strategic assets?

Richina has also been a bit ethically dubious with the way it has hidden the fact that it is the main driver behind the pollution.

It has set up seven subsidiary companies, three (Shanghai Richina Leather, Shanghai Hongguang Leather and Shanghai Leather Chemical Factory)..

.. of which are routinely noted by locals as the worst polluters..”

ew..!..talk about ‘dirty-money’..eh..?

she obviously dosen’t give a flying fuck about fucking the planet over..eh..?

wasn’t she the prime minister who farrar ‘worked closely with’..?

..this is the women who led the charge against sole-parents..on ‘moral grounds’..

If you’re going to continue to label people ‘homophobic’ (based on your predilections?) may I suggest an alternative label?

How about:
‘Haters of obominable sexual deviancy’.

Now THAT’S a label I could really get into!

And by the way; people who abhor pedophilia, are they labelled as ‘pedophobes’ ? – just sayin’.

You know, dance around the fire for a while, spit roast the odd pig’s head, watch some proud and willing virgins being initiated, then just do whatever with whomever – one year’s lust saved up for one weekend of naughty fun!

Come on, Kris, its got to be a lot more fun than your way!

Good ol’ RB (Are you sure you aren’t RC? Rueben? From the old Soapbox days?) says

As against socialists who use government decrees to force people to subscribe to their twisted anti-human beliefs.

Isn’t that just a little extreme? Name a right wing govt (whatever that means) that doesn’t use decrees (we call it regulation: the Nats are doing it right now, and that is not a complaint).

And by twisted anti-human beliefs do you mean, like, extending healthcare in the US to another 30 million people, outlawing discrimination on the grounds of pre-existing conditions, ensuring kids get timely medical treatment…is that what you mean?

Oh, and removing the rort that gave banks subsidies for student loans that were govt guaranteed anyway!

Is that what you mean?

“Name a right wing govt (whatever that means) that doesn’t use decrees (we call it regulation: the Nats are doing it right now, and that is not a complaint).”

Please don’t address your pathetic attempts at reason to me Mr. Hansen. I’ve better things to do than argue the point with someone suffering such complete and unacknowledged immersion in leftist thinking as yourself- to the extent where you actually regard the National Party as some kind of manifestation of right wing political thought.

What is there to say to an observation so utterly detached from reality and to the equally depraved rantings of such an utterly hopeless maroon? One might as well piss in the ocean to try and raise the sea level.

Everything you write here is sourced from the propaganda of your mainstream media cronies. Utterly fatuous nonsense and of course supremely boring. Plesae just crawl back into your subterranean hideout and spare us the drivel.

Hey Puke, still sore from that telling I gave you vis-a-vis the A-P Conflict? Had to run off and cry and read some Robert Fisk to scrub away the awful realisation that all this time your deluded idealism and malevolent self-hatred has twisted your views into a steaming, hateful mass?

There, there, Puke. The VRWC is very forgiving. We can still take you in.

So, how did you all cope with the shops being shut for a whole day?

Did any of you fall into a coma because you could not have your triple shot coffee or feel deprived because you could not pose outside some trendy Parnell restaurant?

Never mind, back to normal tomorrow and you can all stock up on those things that you so desperately missed out on today.

I can’t argue any points with you because you have no points – just an endless, often very inventive, although no doubt unoriginal, ad hominems.

You must be very disappointed that Mussolini couldn’t make it down here – oh, sorry, I forgot about his poor imitation, Mr Hide.

A-P Conflict is a typo. I tried to correct it, but the editing function went left wing on me and wouldn’t let me do it. Lying bastard.

As for VRWC, I’ll let you be the judge of that in the interests of coherence. I under you are a fan of the concept.

Kris is only trying to persuade.

As against socialists who use government decrees to force people to subscribe to their twisted anti-human beliefs.

It’s amazing to see how easily you betray your own principles, red.

Isn’t Kris K ultimately seeking to limit personal freedom? And is he trying to persuade or force his dogma onto other people.
People who do no harm to anyone, but only wish to live their lives as they please.

Who’s beliefs are twisted anti-human, red?
The ones that want to tell you what to do in your bedroom and where to stick your willy?
Or the ones that say as long as it’s amongst consenting adults, it’s nobody’s business?

Really D4J?

Do you claim to be one even though you think the tax payer should be forced to pick up the bill for dead beat dads who do not pay child maintenance?

And what about those who claim to be right wingers yet use legal aid to try and overturn a court ruling that seems perfectly sensible to many?

Oh, the anti-semite thing…is that all?

Just show me where I attack Jews for being Jews. That is being anti-semite.

You need to read my blog more carefully, and apprise yourself of the facts.

Say, are you at my old stamping ground, Auckland Uni? If you are, and they have some sort of pro-Israel club – I’m sure they do, kids are pretty dumb at that age – organise a meeting on a weekend and I will happily come and debate the issues.

How’s that?

The idea of anything of that caliber being at that lefty ratpile is laughable beyond measure, though there is a Students for Justice in Palestine group though – the only one outside North America. Looks like your supposition about kids at that age being pretty dumb is true, Puke. You must surely have a membership card.

I’ll take that as a no, Hurf. Just as I thought.

World surveys outside of the US and Israel show overwhelming solidarity with Palestinians.

Tell me, what is the source of your antipathy to Palestinians?

No, Hurf, we just want Palestinians to be accorded the same rights as nearly everyone else – rights that were ignored post WWI.

The same rights as indigenous South Africans successfully sought. Basic human rights, including the right of self determination.

What have you got against that?

Yeah, I’m sure that’s what you want. In the same way the Gween Party only want to protect the environment. Sure.

What have you got against that?

The fact that – they can’t do it! Well, half the territories can’t – Fatah seems to have its head screwed on at least semi-right. Hamas, though, – whoo! Get a half-rational government in there, one that doesn’t go around in balaclavas, and then I might be able to give them serious consideration.

Speaking of your best friends the indigenous South Africans, the ANC want a hate song explicitly calling for the murder of white Boer farmers unbanned by the country’s Supreme Court. Imagine that – a hate group in charge of a country. Where are the calls for UN sanctions?
