So you’re going to vote for the Conservative Party then.

Good for you. I’m pleased you’ve come to your senses.

So… you can’t give me an example of the thing you accused me of?

They’re far from perfect, but really just the start of driving the prog cultural totalitarians back into the swamps and caves they crawled out of.

And you’d never catch them on a skateboard.

I disagree with many of the Conservative Party’s policies. Not because they’re Christian, but because I believe they’re wrong. You can tell the difference between that and “whining about Christians”, right? If you can’t, the next part’s going to really confuse you.

I disagree with Tanczos on his genuinely bizarre religion. But I agree with a lot of his policies. Mindblowing, right?

“You figure if you use the ‘fans’ tactic, people will stop criticising and back off.”

Couldn’t live without it Jude.

I’ve grown so used to a life of fame now I just don’t think I could go on without you.

Please don’t tell me you don’t badly need me.

I’d just die if that was true.

Of course I need you. You remind me about everything that is good in the world, by demonstrating what is wrong with it.

And DPF needs you – your rambling raises the sites statistics.

And Nasska needs you – because everyone should have something to laugh at every day.

And all the others need you, because contrast is good – irrationality highlights their rational minds.

We all need you Red.

To all the punters who came here (as I did) for a good political argument, please accept my apologies for this intrusion by my groupies, but if I don’t talk to them they’ll be so upset.

I know you will understand.

Oh Red, still trying to shut everyone up so you can dominate.

Anyone that has raised a two year old will recognise the game. Sad mate, really sad.

You’re hoping that no one will post now, so you can’t target them with your ‘fan’ accusation.

As I’ve said before, I don’t get intimidated, even by two year olds, and some of them can be pretty scary.

Well, that wasn’t my intention, and your posts seem pretty whiney to me too.

Let’s try to find something we have in common. Do you cook? Garden? You seem to have an appreciation for photography, but that’s a bit outside of my skill set. Fan of scotch? Home brewing? Favourite novelists?

“Favourite novelists?”

Never read fiction. Use audio books mostly. Like fast cars. (convertibles, Porche & Mustang) Big trucks. (F250 5 litre V8) Music. Anything loud and rock bluesy but no pop shit.`Have a stereo with two 600 watt amps and 1000 watt speakers 2 metres high. A 84 inch LED TV to watch FOX news on. Fishing. 40 ft power boat. Gamble on the share market. Travel a lot, but that’s my work.

How about you?

Hmm. I’m not big on cars or trucks. Audio books… I’ve been getting into some podcasts. “Stuff You Should Know” is a good listen on my way to work.

Name a few bands you don’t hate. Have you heard… and I can’t believe I’m asking this, in context… of The Tea Party? They’ve got a fairly bluesy rock track called Sun Going Down you might like.

Sharemarket I’m looking at getting into. Have been reading Dave Ramsey.

I also travel for work a bit. What kind of work do you do?

Jeez, well I’m hard to please. Like a lot of Knoppler Dire Straits stuff. Liked JJ Cale. George Thoroughgood. West Texas Country. Emmy Lou Harris. Mickey Gillie. Used to like Bonnie Raitt until I discovered she’s a fucking greenie. Chris Issak. Fleetwood Mac. Madeline Peyroux. Susan Tedeschi. BB King. ZZ Top. Joe Bonnamassa, Beth Hart. I get one song and can’t stop playing it for months. Right now its Paolo Nuitini and Candy. Before that it was Margaret Lewis & Reconsider Me.

Share market is thrilling. I work out a lot too.

You’re semi literate & drive a Skoda with a Great Wall for a truck. You listen to Justin Bieber on a transistor radio, own a 14″ TV to watch Shortland Street, fish off the end of the Tauranga wharf, buy a weekly Lotto ticket & catch the bus to work.

Honesty is the best policy…..the www will always find you out. 🙂

Okay, so I’ll listen to Reconsider Me. Pick two others to recommend, and I’ll think of another two to recommend to you on top of Sun Going Down by the Tea Party.

Share market is thrilling.

My plan is to find it as unthrilling as possible and not try to move around investments too much. As I understand it, in the long haul, it reaps a good return, and fiddling too much can cause issues. That might not have been your experience, though.

I work out a lot too.

Well, me too, but I have a firm dislike of conversations about working out.

Unless you’re thinking long term, you have to know who you’re dealing with in the market.

Why is it that so many men are in denial of rape culture? I applaud P.G’s courage and determination to bring this issue in to the light here on KB, when so many of our fellow men want to sweep it under the carpet. With this in mind, P.G and I have recorded this duo, as a tribute to all of the lovely ladies out there. Feel free to sing along.

Neighbours have started up with the fireworks again (10.30pm).

If the last weekend and last year are anything to go by, we have to suffer thursday through sunday night, each week for the next 5 or 6 months.

Really, they need to change the law to restrict fireworks outside set days.

I’ve never seen the Waltons, so I had to look up the character description.

Thanks, Scott Chris. A lot of similarities. First member of my family to get a degree. “Serious thinker and avid reader with a passion to become a writer.”

“Normally a calm, quiet sort, John-Boy occasionally displays a touch of his father’s fiery temper, and can become very defensive and indignant when the situation warrants.”

Accurate. Cheers. Goodnight to you too.

TVNZ defends executive after cracks at Auckland hit a nerve

By Steve Deane
5:30 AM Friday Nov 15, 2013

A senior TVNZ executive has labelled Auckland a “s*** hole” while joking about the city’s large Polynesian population.

TVNZ’s general manager of commissioning, production and acquisitions, Andrew Shaw, told a 1000-strong audience at the network’s 2014 programming launch at Viaduct Events Centre on Wednesday night that Wellington and Christchurch didn’t get “enough love really, do they … or taxes, or roads – or Polynesians”.

TV blogger Regan Cunliffe posted a transcript of the speech on his website saying: “I don’t think it’s a good look.

So why did your leader not support Jami-Lee Ross’s bill yesterday?

And given that he did not support it what right does he think he has to the seat that the Nat’s gift him time and time again?

bb – I’ve just posted on that on the Little Nazi thread but I’ll repeat some of it here.

To the dopey Dunne bashers, I have no idea why he voted against it, but I can guess.

The defeat was not unexpected as a number of National ministers and employer groups have expressed disquiet about the bill being a step too far.

So his vote seems sensible to me. Coincidentally he may have done National a favour.

Moanolo’s cut and paste ” the perennial whore Dunne repositioning himself” is clearly wrong, especially when you look at what else was voted on and how he voted – Members’ Bills Shot Down.

Dunne also voted against Winston Peters’ Reserve Bank Amendment Bill presumably because it’s a dumb bill.

And he indicated (in the news) he will vote against Harawira’s Breakfast and Lunch Programmes in Schools Bill because he thinks it is “fundamentally flawed for a number of reason” and he thinks the current Government approach is cheaper and “a far more comprehensive and feasible approach”.

Perpetual Dunne bashers don’t bother to find out for themselves, they ask me to do it for them. It’s not difficult if you want actual facts to back your comments with. On the other hand facts prove them to be nothing more than pissy dissers so that probably explains it.

Your arrogance is outstanding, matched only by Redbaiters. What on earth gives you the idea that the 99.02% of people in NZ are wrong about the political whore Dunne and you are right?

Dunne is in it for himself, always has been. What you and the other 0.08 of idiots who support him forget is that Dunne is only there because the Nat’s let him, Dunne has no right to vote against the government, none at all.

The vapid vitriol of Dunne Bashers is as uninformed and fascist-like as Andrew Little.

And big bruv illustrates what I said – why let facts or the actual topic get in the way of a raving redbaiteresque rant.

Hilarious. If he votes with National he’s called a poodle, if he votes against he’s a traitor. And if he didn’t vote he’d be abused for sitting on the fence.

And here if I say something about him I’m abused. And if I don’t say anything about him I’m abused (as per the Little thread yesterday and many others).

And you wonder you cop so much abuse on this blog.

Ah, no I don’t. You just have to look at those who do the abusing. Them without mirrors.

Dunne got enough votes in Ohariu to have a right to vote however he sees fit in Parliament. Unlike a few SpitLittles on Kiwiblog – the perpetually impotent.

Lighten up big bruv – it’s Friday. Only one and a half sleeps until you can watch the might All Blacks at Twickenham – set your alarm clock five minutes early so you don’t miss the haka and dirge/anthem.

Bollocks!….If you really think that the political whore got those votes of his own back then you are deluded. Everybody (apart from you and the other 0.07% of the population) knows that the people of Ohariu held their nose and voted for the political whore because John Key told them to do so.

I repeat, Dunne has no right at all to vote against the government.

I repeat, that’s real world of politics bollocks.

It looks like you’re making numbers up again, what is 0.07% about, apart from being much more than the percent of the population that you speak for?

The people of Ohariu made up their own minds who to vote for. And what they ended up achieving was saving National from having to rely totally on the Maori Party for a majority – I presume that’s what big bruv must have preferred if he’s going ape over Dunne getting in.

Really pissed off with the half truths originating from the Pike River mine disaster. Unfortunately it appears that miners contributed in Part to the explosion as there was evidence of high readings prior to this and someone had taped over sensors on equipment that gave off warnings. This information comes from a number of reliable sources close to the coal face. There have been millions paid out so far. Just how much do they want.
