Hardly surprising that WhaleOil has resigned from the National Party. However well-intentioned he was, it was a very public campaign against the party hierachy

Starting to recognise and hopefully address some of the major problems behind crime?

Poor inmate health ‘costing society’

The poor health of prisoners in New Zealand, including untreated addictions and disorders, drives a cycle of repeat offending that has a rising cost on the society, an independent report says.

The committee’s report, Health in Justice, has been described by prison reform groups as a damning censure of the current system that leaves prisoners in poor health, which has a direct link to recidivism.

The report cited a study that found 89 per cent of prisoners had a lifetime prevalence of substance abuse; 52 per cent had lifetime psychotic, mood or anxiety disorders; 60 per cent had mild to severe personality disorders.

The recommendations need to be applied to criminals and potential criminals before they get to the stage of imprisonment as well.

Isn’t being a violent criminal indicative of a personality dissorder? Or should we make them better by saying stealing and assualting people is normal reasonable behaviour?

Its not murder… he’s just “expressing himself” and hes missunderstood.

Brownlee for PM. (or President)

This is my latest pipe dream. You can join up too. You don’t have to do anything, just believe. Garbled reasoning follows:

It’s become apparent that when serious politicans get involved in anything, new laws are passed that make matters worse than the original problem. This requires even newer laws to counter the most recent ones. Even bigger disasters happen when leaders start to dream of economic ascendency. How to get around this dilema? Take the opposite course of action! And who is the only man of the current bunch to have undone an idiot piece of legislation? Gerry Brownlee. Shortly after being elected he returned our right to choose which lightbulbs to use – a choice that was about to be taken by the evil Helen Brigade. Here is a man on the verge of political implosion. The Benjamin Button of NZ politics. Eventually he’ll repeal all laws and do himself out of a job! Lets make use of that trait in our search for Freedom – Elect Brownlee now!

I’m really just posting this for the joke.

This whole Storm-NRL business reminds me of the young boy who lost his mum in the supermarket. The kindly supervisor patted the little cherub on the head and said: “What’s she like?’

“Vodka and big dicks,” came the reply.

Not sure about the vodka but somehow, even after all this, the Storm have still managed to make the NRL look like Big Dicks.

Page 104 of Into the Darklands tells the story of a violent criminal who from age 6 was sodomised by his dad, the commentary was until this was dealt to he wouldn’t heal nor progress into a contributive member of society if ever.
Whilst he may not be typical of all offenders, it does point to origins of rage and anger that drive behaviour.

That said I am not saying that it is an excuse but we mustn’t ignore it and the reality is we do want people to be whole and be able to contribute positively to our society.
I agree with Pete, we need to get to them before they end up in prison, preferably earlier like 5-12 yrs if possible.
Prison is sadly going to be far too late.

How we do intervention with our human rights culture and them liberal wishy washy crowd is going to be hard yakkers, but it needs to be done.
Knee jerks like making every parent who gives a smack for correction if the kid needs it, isn’t going to help.

I agree with Dime and Murray.

The problem we have is that when the abused kids are discovered by the system they are attacked by scores of pinko’s who constantly remind them that they have an excuse to be a victim for the rest of their life.

The problem is that you’re off on a tangent.

Too many people couldn’t give a shit about what pinkos say, they do whatever they please which often involves crime, and they often have psychiatric problems that make this more likely. Having had a crap upbringing can be a major causative factor for both crime and health problems, but not an excuse.

“Poor inmate health ‘costing society’”

Perhaps the academic who did this study should have used her university students as a comparable control group, I doubt that the findings would differ greatly. The difference would be in the eye of the beholder.

We’re seeing the dangerous development here of a very intolerant political ideology. It is a very strange political and scientific situation, in which vast sums of money are underwriting a bureaucracy of climate accountants and auditors, and in which academic funding is easier to obtain if you put man-made climate change at the top of your research proposal. I have never seen anything like it in the 40 years of my scientific and environmental career

Interesting post and whilst I’ve put the conclusion in the whole thing is worth a read.

Interesting article on the GW. I’ve almost given up on this problem/debate as it seems intractable–both sides are bedded in well and truly now. I can definitely believe the political side to climate science, or any science for that matter — science is not immune from politics. One example is superstring theory–basically, in certain US universities it is hard to get a position unless you support and research superstring theory, despite the fact that over the last 20 years or so it has failed to demonstrate itself as a useful testable theory.

But we also shouldn’t neglect the fact that it’s actually becoming quite cool to be an anti-AGW scientist — you get a lot of publicity by the willing public who by nature would prefer not to do anything that would inconvenience/cost them, you can get funding through numerous oil-corporate lobby interests, and if you write a book about it, you could be famous.

It’s notable that this guy is a generalist– we’re taking it on his word that he has understood the various specialties which he makes pronouncements on. And let’s not fail on one of the classic fallacies that because there is doubt there is no truth.

As could be expected with something as large as Work for Families it has resulted in positive and negative effects. The positives – especially their potential flow-on effect, shouldn’t be ignored.

* 8100 more sole parents working due to in-work tax credit.

* 9300 more partnered parents staying home with the children.

Whether the cost will be worth it in long term may be impossible to determine.

I didn’t realise just how much debt the USA was in. I don’t know how they can get out of this hole they are digging.
Maybe McCain was an astute fellow losing the election as the wife asserted at the time.

http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/07/the_cbo_warns_the_nation_is_an.html
The CBO report notes that the federal debt will likely reach 62 percent of GDP by the end of this year. One projection is that the debt-to-GDP ratio will be 80 percent by 2035, and another projection is far bleaker — 87 percent by 2020. That latter, more likely scenario means “the growing imbalance between revenues and noninterest spending, combined with spiraling interest payments, would swiftly push debt to unsustainable levels. Debt as a share of GDP would exceed its historical peak of 109 percent by 2025 and would reach 185 percent in 2035.” As the CBO noted, such numbers are “uncharted territory.” Put simply and appallingly, these numbers mean that “health care costs, Social Security and interest on the national debt will exceed all tax money coming in to the federal government by 2035

So now childless couples are set to become the most common family units in NZ:

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10659820

I would hazard a guess that this demographic is also the largest tax base in NZ – being flush with young couples doing well in their careers, setting up entrepreneurial businesses etc. all the while, paying tax through the nose to support the useless bludgers, sucking on the DPB & dole tit and welfare for families leaches.

Hey Key, when are the young of this of this country going to be supported, or do you want them to keep rushing off to Oz??

Cut WFF, cut benefits, cut interest free student loans and let us keep some of our money!!

Do we have a moral imperative to tel others how they should behave?

http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/07/iranian_refugees_a_human_right.html

Expel the Iranian regime from the U.N. Regardless of UNHRC and Turkish authorities disputing the veracity and accuracy of refugees’ claims, worldwide organizations like the U.N. and international governments have a moral imperative to demand accountability from the regime for their human rights abuses. The first step has to be to expel this rogue Iranian regime and known state sponsor of terrorism from the U.N.

What a farce the National Party Conference was. Why is every man and his dog in the mainstream media and elsewhere so easily sucked into the spin?

Whale and Fran O’ Sullivan were correct. The Conference was an exercise in control and command by the Key/ Joyce faction.

That is the real story.

National “conferences” have long been PR exercises. So yeah, what Fran and Whale reported it is not news either.

Key and National – practical governing with majority support. Most of the significant minority is to the left, some of them are vocal but often it seems to be voicing what they think is expected of them rather than what they really feel – many of the left group shouldn’t have major worries about how things are going anyway.

And there are a few idealist “fix”-everything-now rats and mice.

This sort of talk could get you labeled as intolerant.

http://www.corybernardi.com/

Replace the references to France in the passages above with Australia and things aren’t so different.

We all need to constantly reaffirm the values that unite us rather than appease the customs that isolate some from their fellow Australians.

For too long, political correctness has allowed the power of vocal minorities to intimidate, cajole, bully or shout down any critics who dare question their ‘rights’. The fact that these so called ‘rights’ conflict with the rights of others or the essence of our democracy is conveniently forgotten as labels of racist, bigot and intolerant are the standard ad hominem return of fire

A comment from the article above.

said…

Immigrants should have an overriding and unifying commitment to Australia and accept all the basic principles and structures of Australian society, including the rule of law, parliamentary democracy, freedom of speech and religion, tolerance and equality.

It seems everywhere Muslims go in the world today, they have an obligation to remove all obstacles to Islamisation. If we do not confront this threat now, we will see increasing demands to accept elements of Sharia, as has happened in Britain.

When we allow refugees and immigrants to come here, do we insist on the first para above but with New Zealand in place of Australia.
If we don’t are we not creating a situation of social conflict for the future?

Who says it is a “debate forum for the right”? Some from “the right” seem to claim it as their rightful place as they don’t have anywhere else that is worth debating. But as far as I have seen DPF lets just about anyone comment and debate here – he even tolerates some “from the right” criticising him and his preferred party. And tolerates some “from the right” continually trying to promote other parties that have as much popular support that you can count the percent on your thumbs.

So far he also seems to tolerate some who “some from the right” call “from the left” calling bullshit on “some from the right”. And I think he could also spot the obsession. Who keeps preaching radical change? Crusader Hypocrite.

On June 11, 2008, the 40-year-old visited his 70-year-old mother at her home and shot her twice in the head before covering her with a blanket and resting her head on a pillow.

Colonel, have you noticed that since Redbaiter reached 10,000 posts he has started to obsess over something else – the number of posts others do?

Have you also calculated that since Redbaiter reached 10k he has added another 589 posts (as at July 19th, 2010 at 4:00 pm) – that’s an average of over 25 per day? You might also notice he doesn’t post every day. Too busy posting on other blogs?

Could DPF perhaps consider changing the motto of this blog to “It’s not about you“?

Either that, or a thread entitled “Today’s pissing contest” so that the GD might remain a forum for discussing stuff such as the many interesting links provided by Mike NZ and others today.

Or maybe the time difference means I just get here too late, and the corks were taken out hours ago? 😀

“This is Jay Leno asking Americans about the traditions behind Independence day. Sure. you’ve seen it before. They’re dummies and they know nothing. The kick is at the end. There is a family. Jay has asked the father. He’s asked the mother. He’s asked the son. None of them have the faintest idea concerning their heritage. Then he asks the Grandfather and the old guy answers every question correctly and without hesitation.”

So Red had a bad weekend after being demoralized last week. Tough when you finally get called Red. And don’t bother ranting at me. It didn’t work before you pissed off over the road. Won’t work now.

This is a debating forum not one for insulting others which is your regular modus operandi. Shame really because when you make the effort you really can make good argument.

And Bruv, we don’t want Red demeaning the Bay so please file him somewhere else, Dipton perhaps.

Corliss Lamont, son of Thomas and Ned’s grandfather, was trained for his role as conspirator at Harvard, Oxford and Columbia University. His roommate during his studies at Oxford University was the Fabian (global) Socialist, Julian Huxley, brother of Aldous and the first Director-General of UNESCO. In his 1946 book, UNESCO: Its purpose and Its Philosophy, Huxley exposed some of the psychosocial strategies that would conform the minds of the masses to planned community. He suggested,

“…taking the techniques of persuasion and information and true propaganda that we have learnt to apply nationally in war, and deliberately bending them to the international tasks of peace, if necessary utilizing them — as Lenin envisaged – to ‘overcome the resistance of millions’ to desirable change. The task before UNESCO… is single. The task is to help the emergence of a single world culture….”

Good ole Redbaiter really gets under the skin of you pathetic lefty lickspittles.

He thinks he does, but Redbaiter is one of the most easily and frequently underskinned here. He makes much more sense when he posts what he believes (as he mostly has lately) rather than trying to follow some theoretical mode of attack that just seems to self detonate.

“Good ole Redbaiter really gets under the skin of you pathetic lefty lickspittles” anyone who uses the term ‘lefty lickspittles’ probably isn’t capable of making much of an argument.

“probably isn’t capable of making much of an argument.”

Hey Yank Gunder – do you want the five-minute argument with a 100 demerits full frontal?

I had to laugh, the man with the thinest skin and shortest temper in the blogsphere talking about the supposed ability of Comrade Redbaiter to wind other people up.

“And Bruv, we don’t want Red demeaning the Bay so please file him somewhere else, Dipton perhaps.”

Alas, it is not so easy, Comrade Redbaiter is indeed a man of the bay, I am sure a thorough scan of the retirement villages will find him, he will be sitting in his little room furiously banging away on his PC before turning in for the night.

Of course, not before he has checked under the bed at least a dozen times, you never know where those red bastards are hiding.

Oh jees Bruv, you’ve just stuffed the week. I visit all them places over time. Maybe Don the Kiwi can look him out and they can go sit on a rock and commiserate together.
I’ll have to be cautious in case I meet his favorite lady in one. Apparently she now considers herself to be like Shakespeare.

Palin says she’s like Shakespeare … and Bush
Sarah Palin, George Bush and Shakespeare have something in common – they make up new words.

At least, that’s what Mrs Palin says.

William Shakespeare, the world’s most renowned playwright, added about 1700 words to the English language, including assassination, lonely, critic and laughable.

He also coined phrases such as “method in his madness” and “it’s all Greek to me”.

Is one of her speeches a palindrone?

In an interview with Time’s Mark Halperin that appeared on Thursday, one aide to Mitt Romney anonymously said, “She’s not a serious human being,” and another added: “If she’s standing up there in a debate and the answers are more than 15 seconds long, she’s in trouble.”

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/07/18/palin-shakespeare-and-the-ground-zero-mosque/

She doesn’t seem to enjoy widespread support, but that could just be jealousy.

Ecstasy good for some: doctors
July 19, 2010 – 2:26PM

The party drug can help victims of post traumatic stress disorder.

The party drug can help victims of post traumatic stress disorder.

Ecstasy can help the tortured victims of post traumatic stress disorder overcome their demons, research has shown.

In tests, the illegal dance drug had a dramatic effect on previously untreatable patients who had suffered the disorder for more than 19 years.

Doctors in the US held two eight-hour psychotherapy sessions three to five weeks apart for the patients during which they administered the ecstasy chemical MDMA.

Recessions’s over. Hahahahahaha!

“Of the 986 bank holding companies in the US last year, a total of 980 of them LOST MONEY.

And that’s even after all the government bailouts the sector received. Hmmmm. Robust banking recovery? Not a chance. However, the remaining six banks, all of which are “too big to fail”, did manage to earn a combined $51 billion in 2009, sending their stocks soaring as a result. So despite 980 out of 986 bank holding companies returning nothing but red, the sector actually fared pretty well from a market perspective.”

Oh wait, that would be tacit recognition that the Dems are partially responsible for the GFC and we can’t have that.

Oh, btw, you know that fancy new road safety advert about not talking to someone on the phone when they’re on the road?

It’s three years old and from the UK. Our version has hilariously bad dubbing, though.

Wow, interesting to see the fervour here. You guys sure hate the right, and interesting to see Big Bozo full of the usual smears and bullshit and desperately and sweatily trying to elbow his way in for a kick with his lefty mates. What a bunch of small minded losers. Thanks anyway, for revealing how much I can piss you all off. Shame tho that you’re all such whining incoherent semi-literate non entities, or I might feel like I had achieved something.

Go to Paula Bennett’s facebook page and check out the charming 16 year old Johnny O’ Donnell.

There’s a future unionist or Labour MP.

Kia Ora Paula! Do you intend making any further cuts to the budget of the Ministry of Youth Development? Best question at YP. Also with all these changes to WINZ u must be employing more staff to help implement them? NO THATS RIGHT UR CUTTING THEM! How do you sleep at night?

Well, no spelling skills or manners, he is well on his way.

“I presumed that Redbaiter was pointing out that Pete George’s posts have occurred over a comparatively short space of time: if we are talking two years, then very nearly 8 a day.”

That’s right, but of course he’s also done it under two identities (that we know of), so its probably a lot more posts. All saying sweet fuck all. What a fucking waste of time and energy. At least I’ve managed to mightily piss off the right people. All PG has ever done is daily lay his limp dick out here for everybody to step on.

Does anyone else think that the Youth Parliament is a complete waste of time and money? If I had a child I would be giving them a (metaphorical) kick up the arse if they aspired to be an MP, of all things. FFS

Unintended consequences with sad and bad side effects on people unable to help themselves.

Dementia patient in jail over ‘three strikes’ case
By AMANDA FISHER – The Dominion Post
Last updated 05:00 20/07/2010

A 69-year-old with Parkinson’s disease and mild dementia is in Rimutaka Prison awaiting a “three strikes” offence hearing, as neither his home for the disabled nor his family will take him in.

His lawyer, Michael Bott, said the situation was “repugnant” and warned that prisons would need to include wheelchair ramps and zimmer frames in new shipping container cells as people experiencing mental decline fell foul of the three-strikes policy.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/3934417/Dementia-patient-in-jail-over-three-strikes-case

Its also possible that other people with mental health issues will get caught up in this process. Now we have disbanded all the facilities that were used to keep these people safe there appears to be no where to go.

There are usually unintended consequences. This is the price society plays for blanket toughness. Do we need secure rest homes?

It’s well known that younger people with mental health issues already get caught up in the criminal system. Locking them up and forgetting them is an easy solution. It’s not so easy when they need two nurses to care for them.
