Scott Chris

Brazilian court sets dangerous precedent:

The Superior Court of Justice ruled this week that a man accused of having sex with three 12-year-olds could not be convicted of rape because of extenuating circumstances, including the fact the girls had previously worked as prostitutes.

10 great Einstein quotes:

• A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.
• Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them.
• Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one’s living at it.
• The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.
• I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice.
• Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
• I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.
• The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
• Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.
• I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

Tthe latest One/Colmar poll suggests the wider electorate is largely unmoved by the political bubble ructions.

I checked with an ordinary person what they thought – vaguely aware of National hiccups, they think Labour (and Greens) are always moaning, and are far more interested in things happening in their everyday lives. People on politics – yawn.

Labour seem to have been trying hard out to destroy Government. Apart from most people hardly noticing, this does not present as a party capable of being successful in government themselves.

More draconian stuff from Governments hell-bent on more control:

Internet activity ‘to be monitored’ under new UK laws

Ministers are preparing a major expansion of the Government’s powers to monitor the email exchanges and website visits of every person in the UK, it was reported today.

Under legislation expected in next month’s Queen’s Speech, internet companies will be instructed to install hardware enabling GCHQ – the Government’s electronic “listening” agency – to examine “on demand” any phone call made, text message and email sent, and website accessed in “real time”, The Sunday Times reported.

A previous attempt to introduce a similar law was abandoned by the former Labour government in 2006 in the face of fierce opposition.

However ministers believe it is essential that the police and security services have access to such communications data in order to tackle terrorism and protect the public.

http://whoar.co.nz/2012/marx-at-193/

“…In trying to think what Marx would have made of the world today – we have to begin by stressing that he was not an empiricist.

He didn’t think that you could gain access to the truth by gleaning bits of data from experience – ‘data points’ as scientists call them – and then assembling a picture of reality from the fragments you’ve accumulated.

Since this is what most of us think we’re doing most of the time it marks a fundamental break between Marx and what we call common sense – a notion that was greatly disliked by Marx – who saw it as the way a particular political and class order turns its construction of reality into an apparently neutral set of ideas –

– which are then taken as givens of the natural order.

Empiricism, because it takes its evidence from the existing order of things – is inherently prone to accepting as realities things that are merely evidence of underlying biases and ideological pressures.

Empiricism for Marx – will always confirm the status quo.

He would have particularly disliked the modern tendency to argue from ‘facts’ – as if those facts were neutral chunks of reality –

– free of the watermarks of history and interpretation and ideological bias –

– and of the circumstances of their own production…”

Krazykiwi- I have no issue with such measures. ‘Big Brother’ would unlikely be interested in a discussion between the wife and I about what I am cooking for dinner, or whether I fed the cat before work…I think you will find they are aimed at potential terrorist activity, and with Britain’s massive Muslim population I don’t think you can be too careful….

He had a special set of overalls with gold epaulettes made so the workers Phil identifies with so closely could recoginise an EDUCATED septic tank cleaner in their midst…but no show! Quel dommage…How can that be, since Phil was clearly up early enough to have made it to Kaukapakapa..

i am up early every morning..knives…5.00-5.30 am…

..i have found about 30 new/fresh stories/links so far…

..and still looking…

..oh..!..btw..garrett…i have moved you from ex-mp-crim-list (of mild interest).

…to gibbering-troll to be mainly ignored list..(kinda like that drunkard..what’s their fake-name again..?..)

..so what that means is that from here on in i reserve the right to laugh at you when i choose..

..but in the main you will be ignored as the mindless/regressive fool you are…

..mm-kay..?

..you are unable to defend/argue the demagogic-rubbish you push/preach….

..unable to even answer a simple question like:..how is our imprisonment rate of over 100 citizens per 100,000 citizens ‘better’ that the finnish regime of just 15 people per 100,000..?

..an imprisonment gap you wish/worked to make even wider…with yr regressive lock up more..(except you..of course..eh..?.)..

..and for longer..

..and the other question of how dare you try to peddle an international sharp drop in crime..as a result of yr regressive policies..

..an outright lie..

..and as such..you are nothing but a buffoon..a fool..incapable of anything approaching intelligent debate…

..in other words..a bottom-dwelling troll..

..like so many here..

..and as such/as them…best just ignored..

..eh..?

hudson..i think that marx is pointing out how it is much easier to distort/control the/any dialogue..by taking empircal-facts on their own as a basis for an argument”..

..there was an example of that on breakfast television today..

..that regressive-fool mccoskie proudly cited a poll showing two thirds of people still smack/hit children..and therefor the law is a bad law..

..and that we should all smack children..’cos ‘it works’..

..now..i reckon that is a pretty potent example of what marx is referring to..

..and of course..such empirical-fact-rubbish was used to argue the there-is-no-alternative (t.i.n.a.)-arguments of the rogernomics revolution..

..and is also used by the class-warfare-waging govt we now have…to peddle their dystopian-plans/future…

..using selective-selection of empirical-facts to push their case..

..does that help..?

(and of course..i am no expert on marx..but that seems pretty obvious..)

..um..!,..you didn’t just empirically-choose yr question there..did you hudson..?

..another example for you..?

Latest crime stats: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10796158

Of special interest will be this extract: “Recorded crime has dropped to its lowest level in 15 years, police figures show. According to police there were 20,289 fewer offences recorded in 2011 than during the previous calendar year, a decrease of 4.8 percent, with 406,056 offences recorded between January 1 and December 31. After taking into account the 0.8 percent rise in New Zealand’s resident population over the same period, the fall in the crime rate for 2011 is 5.6 percent”.

Whilst this may not fit the political agenda of some, the facts don’t lie….

““Recorded crime has dropped to its lowest level in 15 years”

This cannot be true. The far right National government is crushing workers and the poor and creating vast new levels of poverty and deprivation, and so crime must be going up. Because we all know that crime is just a result of poverty and the evils of capitalism. Right?

Perhaps these are rogue stats.

Lee and Ryan, there’s only one correct way to view those results, and that is to remember the truism: There are lies, damn lies, and statistics. These sort of statistics are almost useless, who knows how the measurement metrics have changed over the years, because the intention in producing these results is not to illuminate but to obfuscate, generally speaking.

Lee01: No, the new line is “crime was already dropping prior to the [very tentative] move towards more punitive policies in 2008”

Ryan Sproulls “explanation” is even more igenious! “We are now seeing the fruits of a new generation of kinder gentler souls moving into their crime committing years as a result of the caring and inclusive policies of nine years of wise rule by Clark” Brilliant! Expect more “explantions” like this…

But Kim Workman still has not told us when the doubling or tripling of prisoner numbers that 3S was to cause will begin…these new figures must be seriously taxing the “explain it away” lobe of his cortex…

..And a most amusing change of tack by Phil… no longer will he “hand [me] my arse” as he thinks he has been doing, but will chose when to amuse himself…

The MSD benefit fraud hotline kiwibloggers is 0800 556 006. Give them a call…The nice lady I spoke to there was very interested in Phil’s boasts – on his own website and here – about how how he continues to receive a benefit on the strength of his 16 year old son…At least his sad little website has another reader….

Of course it is empirically true that where you have a drug addled bludging leech like , say, philu, you often find
they are self deluded.

You see, here we have a liar (says he only uses the free computer in the library but states that he is playing on
it from 5.30 am) that deludes himself that by playing on a computer all day every day he is achieving something.

It’s also empirical that this type of specimen is a joke.
The type of joke that having achieved nothing his whole life has the gall to question the achievements of others.
It’s also empirical that this type will never contribute to society in any way.
This type of bludger will progress from the DPB to the unemployment benny to the pension.
And you can put your ring around that.

Interesting video showing Lionel Ritchie and Shania Twain re-recording his classic duet, ‘Endless Love’ for Lionel’s new duets album with country stars. It seems Shania had to get past this thing of not thinking her voice was strong enough any more after not having sung for a long while and being out of the spotlight, but Lionel helps her overcome that. I’m not a fan or anything, but it’s quite uplifting to watch.

Regarding Phil and his lies about where he “works” on his blog…the fraud investigators will no doubt be interested in the posts regarding his vegan cats…one of which was apparently “curled up around the monitor as I type…” and another was sleeping on his feet…Do libraries allow one to bring one’s cats these days? I know they are not silent citadels any more, but I didnt think they had got that loose…

And does Phil “walk” his cats to the said library or drive? I guess with vegan cats anything is possible…

This is getting a bit boring now however, last word from me on the subject.
Please try and get this little mikenmild.

Not every short man has a shortarse complex.

There are some very big men who are not very tall.
The complex is revealed in your spoken word and your demeanour.

Take this to the bank mate.

You, and Scott Chris, and philu all have the complex.

The good news is that it is not incurable.
As with all psycological issues the first step to recovery is self awareness.
That is also the second step, and the third step.

Once you have the self awareness to accept that you have the problem and recognise where it came from, then
just like magic, you are cured. It goes away.
Good luck to you and to your family.

DG at 1:31 –

Phil is 61 (according to his OldFriends profile).

And someone else was asking what his degree was in? Again, OldFriends shows he did a Masters in politics. Also, 20 yrs radio broadcasting experience, so there’s another job opportunity for him!!!

Also, OldFriends shows he has “2 nippers (27) and (9)”. So, I guess that makes the older one around 34 now? Working for a living, I hope? Please???

..that you haven’t got even more people going ‘ew..!’..?

..and hey garrett,,,i may have been a junkie..

..but i didn’t steal no id off no dead baby…

..and i didn’t bash no people in bars…

..and i didn’t bash my son..

..an interesting moral-superiority you try to tout…

..kinda ragged around the edges..isn’t it..?

..standing naked even..?

So Phil, once your son leaves home, are you aiming for a job in politics, or in radio broadcasting?

How’s your older ‘nipper’ doing?

Why would you possibly be worried about my reputation Phil?

I’d be more worried about the investigators if I were you…did you really think you could sponge of the public teat forever? The nice lady I spoke to was most interested in your opinion of the lowly “bureaucrats” who you so despise… Have they made contact yet? …eh?

Phil, you drug addled clown…I don’t have a teenage son….never have had…Why would I need to tell them you smoke dak when you broadcast it all over the interweb?

So, when’s your appointment? Better make sure you have made full and correct disclosures all these years Phil…they take a very dim view of untruths…

Then come and interact with me, Phil … I’m feeling left out because you haven’t answered my questions …

Once your son leaves home, are you aiming for a job in politics, or in radio broadcasting?

And how’s your older ‘nipper’ doing?

With regard to philu
what we see now taking place before our very eyes is what is often referred to as a breakdown.

this happens when philu is forced to confront reality (the problemof course is caused primarily by his lifelong abuse of drugs)
which causes him to live in a parallell universe where he thinks he knows it all and everyone else is a fuken idiot.

Now he has got an inkling that he has picked the wrong person to go to bat against.

Anyone who may tend to feel sorry for the poor sod need not as it is totally self inflicted and the solution is simple.

This poor sod does have hope though.
It’s in his own hands. Quite simple really.

Hey philu, give away the drugs and get a job. That’s it.
Get it mate ? Q.E.D.
It will feel just as good for you as if you had stopped knocking your head against a brick wall after so many years.

No, no, Wahine! If you are going to mimic him, there must be frequent use of the ellipsis…eh?….

…and new sentences….

that dont make any sense ….eh?

…or conform to any of the recognised rules of grammar….eh?

…or syntax…

…eh?

this poor sod is not a drug addict if we can take him at his word.
There is no such thing as addiction to smoking dope.
If you decide you want to stop, you stop. End of story. There is no physical withdrawing at all.
It’s easier than stopping smoking cigarettes

Thing is, is what we all know, but what this poor sod just can’t get yet is that if he did those two things,
which are easily do able then he would never look back. His only regret would then be that he didn’t come to his
senses years ago.
His problem is that his ginourmous ego, which he has grown as a compensation and crutch, cannot let him
accept yet that he is not smarter than everyone else.

He is so smart that he doesn’t need to work.
He is so smart that he can advise everyone else where they have gone wrong. But he can’t help himself.

When this poor sod can develop some humility then he can be cured
It could be like night turning into day.
But the major problem he has is that he is so smart that he wont be able to reach out for help. The ego he has
grown to help him compensate wont let him.
This type of poor sod has to wake up and do it for himself.

I’ve arrived home and have immediately started my “real” job of getting dinner started, helping my son with his homework, ya know the normal parenting duties… As I am an older single parent with a young dependent, this meant after school care for him. He survived it, strangely enough… (see Phil, part of good parenting is to encourage independence, so they don’t remain stuck to the tit, so to speak.)

I find it obscene that anyone capable of working refuses to work while many single parents like myself, support the likes of Phil. To those who think this is harsh? Again, feel free to subsidize his lifestyle with your tax dollar. I’m sick off him sucking on my tit.

And all joking aside, isn’t that just the point? You Wahine have been at your job at ……….. for 8 hours…Between playing with this clown I have been doing chargeable hours…bereal and other commenters have been doing their honest toil…You and I at least (can’t speak for anyone else) now move into our “other” jobs…the dinner, the homework, the bed time stories…

Even if Phool does cook for his unfortunate son, he thinks that alone justifies sucking off the rest of us…because of course he is such a superior being…

If you really think I am the only one to call the hotline about you today Phool, you are even more addled than you appear…

the whole convention centre/pokie machine deal sucks for a variety of reasons..

..first:..convention centres worldwide lose money/cost money to run..

..(guess who will pick up that bill..?..)

..and pokie machines are ‘vampire-sucking-squids’ on society..

..hurting mainly the poor…

..and they just suck enormous amounts of money out of society..

..which is all sent off-shore..

..i’d ban them…

..leave a high-end casino for those rich enough to throw their money away..

..but we should do what those northland towns/pubs have done..

..and throw out the pokies..

..2nd option is to nationalise the gambling industry…

..so all the profits stay here…feed all the income back into the community….not offshore..

..either works for me..

..and yes..i wd really like to see the list of those current-affairs hosts/journos etc..

..that are owned/paid-off by the casino..
