Another undeniable socialist triumph:

After President Nicolas Maduro’s announcement that public offices in Venezuela will now open only Mondays and Tuesdays, many employees are saying they will use the time off to stand in the crawling food lines that have become a common sight throughout the country.

Employees will see no changes in their salary, Maduro said during the televised announcement.

Hi D4J
I was wondering whether a discussion of your close relationships might help would your therapy. We can make this easy with multiple-choice questions:

1. How would you describe your relationship with your children?

a. Non-existent
b. Close and loving, but absolutely normal
c. A little strained
d. Conducted under supervision

Kimbo my point is Christianity is not the root of our culture that is a belief that conservative often come out with that ignores so much of who we are .
Yes Christianity obviously played a part for the thousand years it was dominant.
A hell of a lot of our present culture is not from the Christian tradition as represented by the beliefs and practices of the church of Rome three hundred years age. it also has vestiges left over from pre christian Europe and important roots in the geek and roman philosophy’s pre Christianity.
The reformation you have said was importent when we rejected Rome for a belief system based more on the actual bible than catholic tradition .
As that laid the grounds for the enlightenment when we rejected gods unchanging words for rational inquiry into our world .
To say we are a judo christian culture ignores so much of our past and our present as to be an empty claim .

The Donald really will have to up his game if he wants to keep up with this psycho.

/

Philippine presidential frontrunner Rodrigo Duterte has joked about his penis and vowed to pardon himself for mass murder, as he took his profanity-laced campaign to the nation’s business elite.

Mr Duterte also hit out again at key Philippine allies the United States and Australia, after warning last week he would be prepared to sever diplomatic ties because their ambassadors spoke out against a joke he made about raping a missionary who was later murdered.

Mr Duterte has shocked the political establishment in recent weeks, surging to a clear lead in opinion surveys before the May 9 election with a campaign full of swear words and promises to end crime by killing tens of thousands of criminals.

@ Awww C-mon

Kimbo, if I may trouble you. I’d like your thoughts on the annihilation theory.

TIA

Sorry to hijack the G.D with a G.O.D question everyone else, but it is a quiet night…

No problem. These are my thoughts:

1. Unlike key doctrines such as the Incarnation, Death and Resurrection of Christ (that were especially hammered out and formalised by the Church in the 4th and 5th Centuries AD), and the doctrines of grace (particularly formalised during the Reformation), what one believes concerning an immortal soul vs annihilation (and the other side of the ‘annihilation’ coin, ‘conditional immortality’) it is not “crucial” for salvation. Those who believe in annihilation are not heretics. Indeed, some Christian groups such as the Seventh Day Adventists and Church of Christ Life and Advent affirm variations on annihilation as a formal doctrine (Jehovah’s Witnesses also do – but they are heretics for other reasons related to the “tests” I mentioned above.

2. Personally, I actually tend towards it, or more precisely I’m not convinced the doctrine of an immortal soul is as strong as the majority of the Church has affirmed for some 1500 years or so. Put it this way – the New Testament highlights so strongly the life to be experienced at the Resurrection, that the “in between period” after death and before that final Resurrection is sort of passed over. There are intimations in II Corinthians 5 about the intermediate state, but Paul may be conflating his death with the final resurrection.

3. Indeed I’m not sure the Scriptures are that strong on the “doctrine of an immortal soul” at all – no matter what Protestant confessions may say. References in the book of Revelation/Apocalypse to “everlasting death” and “the smoke of their torment ascending for ever and ever” occur within a genre that is deliberately highly figurative. Also, Jesus’ use of the same language and imagery, drawing upon Jewish traditions – including the story/parable(?) of the Rich Man and Lazarus in Luke 16 also seem to be accessing a similar apocalyptic tradition. Which is why I don’t think there are literal “pearly gates” as the “city of God/Jerusalem descending from above described in Revelation chapter 21 and 22 is an extended analogy – IMHO.

4. I also think there is merit in the argument that a loving God would not torment people for all eternity (btw, bear in mind as a Protestant I reject doctrines such as limbo and purgatory). So Hitler is resurrected at the end of the age along with all the rest of us, and is judged righteously by God. What form will that take? Don’t know for sure, but as God is righteous and wise, his judgement will be just…as it will be for everyone. As I say, I think destruction in the lake of fire is an analogy that nonetheless warns us…whatever else awaits us at the final judgement, make sure you have done whatever you have to do to enjoy the blessings of eternity with Christ…because whatever awaits those who have not, you don’t want to be in their place.

5. Which means, whatever else, the doctrine of God’s judgement, whether it is annihilation of…whatever, it is revealed to the righteous…to remind them of the need for humility and vigilance. There but for the grace of God go I.

But I wouldn’t dismiss out of hand the doctrine of the immortal soul/conscious existence after death, both in the intermediate state and after the Final Judgement.

Self Delusion for Beginners:

Essentially, it is generally agreed that these four issues are central to the human experience.

We are going to die
We are alone
We have to make choices
Life is meaningless

Every belief system in human history has a means of confronting these existential crises:

We are going to die (No you’re not – You have eternal life!)
We are alone (Church community… God/Jesus/Allah always with me!)
We have to make choices (No matter what happens, I can always turn to God…..everything is in His hands)
Life is meaningless (Black & white morality, right & wrong…..God has a purpose for me)

Gullible doesn’t even start to describe anyone who really believes the crap.

I’m not unhappy about the inevitability of death nor am I at all joyous….just taking a realistic stance.

I’m not unhappy about the inevitability of death nor am I at all joyous….just taking a realistic stance.

Whether you have described what is realistic after death – and how we should therefore live before it – I’m not so sure. And as you haven’t experienced death, and then come back to tell us about it, excuse me if I don’t acknowledge your specialist expertise.

Nonetheless, I’ll press the point as you seem to be (deliberately?) avoiding it – you don’t consistently and unremittingly treat your family, friends, work and life passions and interests as…(to quote you) “meaningless”. Indeed, no matter what their bravado no one does even with trivial things. They invest them with time and effort. So, as per my point, your philosophy is logically inconsistent and also existentially unviable. So therefore, I don’t see the basis for your confidently proclamation that it is (to quote you again) “a realistic stance”. Put it this way – when Eastern religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism claim material existence is similarly “illusory” (which is sort of like your claim of “meaningless”), they run into the same objection.

Admittedly that doesn’t make my alternative automatically right. But then as you seem to be only good at playing offense, it may be time to place you under the blow-torch and see if you are adept at defense. Or at least tap you on the shoulder and question your claim to a hands-down win before you go doing an extended victory lap 😉

….”Whether you have described what is realistic after death I’m not so sure. As you haven’t experienced it, and then come back to tell us about it, excuse me if I don’t acknowledge your specialist expertise. “….

I would point out that your sects have built a faith, dozens of bureaucracies & denied mortal happiness to billions over a couple of millennia with no more evidence for the existence of a Deity…..none of your lot have come back either (fairy tales about the Resurrection don’t count).

….”They invest them with time and effort.”….

True.

….”your philosophy is logically inconsistent and also existentially unviable”….

You mistake my ability to learn, love & reason with the need for the existence of an outside force to make it so. I don’t need someone on my shoulder to know what’s right & what’s wrong.

….”it may be time to place you under the blow-torch and see if you are adept at defense”…..

In my defence & as mitigation I must point out that I’m only a simple, poor & semi-literate cockie! 🙂

Gullible doesn’t even start to describe anyone who really believes that is what religion represents to believers.

nasska had a bad experience with religion when he was young. It’s twisted and poisoned his thinking on the matter ever since, and as he was very young when he had it, and he’s not once revisited it in his adult head, he’s assumed that all believers are simplistic, childish folk, seeking something as a child does, the same attitudes and beliefs he had as a young neophyte. His problem is, that episode has been cemented into his mind and he can’t see past it, so he hallucinates all sorts of idiotic fantasies based on his childhood trauma, believing them to be fact. Never stepping it into the adult world, always reliving the child.

Fact is, he understands nothing about religion, but he thinks he’s qualified because his trauma entitles him to voice his twisted, warped hatred.

He’s precisely like a once talented kid who failed math badly at school, got a lot of stick for it at the time, never recovered, buried it in a little ball and dredges up and recycles his pain every time a real mathematician pontificates on the latest theory. And those who understand nothing about math nod approvingly and stand in awe of nasska’s “wisdom.”

To those idiots, I ask, if religion is as simplistic as nasska hallucinates, how come so many people of all stripes and walks of life, of all intellects, from all professions, have paid so much attention to it over the last 2000 years? It’s only in the last few decades its gone out of fashion, before that, for 2000 years, 20 whole centuries, it was something to which more man-hours were devoted than almost anything, if not anything, else.

And that being the undeniable fact, how precisely could the entire human civilisation be so befuddled, for 2000 years, as to mistake that discipline, for something as trite and simplistic as our dear old nasska makes it out to be?

Griff one of the many things people who understand nothing about religion don’t get is that religion is not about what your own particular denomination tells you it goes far, far, far, far, far, far, far deeper than that. But all people who don’t understand religion ever percieve is their hallucination about what a denomination or even several of them do just that. But not only is their hallucination extraordinarily superficial for you will never see such idiots inside a church of that denomination they just read about them in some idiot media and draw their conclusions, not only do you have that flaw, but compounding that you have the flaw I indicated, whereby religion is not repeat not repeat not not repeat not repeat not not repeat not repeat not not repeat not repeat not not repeat not repeat not anything whatsoever to do with the guy who stands in the pulpit.

And people who understand nothing about religion don’t get that. Which is such a basic fact about it, it’s amazing none of you have ever clicked to it. Yet none of you, ever have.

As to the rest of your comment, I ignored it, because as soon as I read your first line mate, I knew the rest wasn’t worth reading.

As I say, face it, you idiots just aren’t qualified to comment, so why you don’t all just accept that and STFU about it and let those of us who understand it discuss it, I don’t know.

He is not really appealing to authority, but arguing the points Pinker is making. Which is that not absolute numbers are relevant, but the relative violent death rate.

Using just absolute numbers is akin to arguing that modern medicine is useless because more people die today (in absolute terms) of illnesses that they did 4000 years ago.

You can argue that violent deaths inflicted by people on each other are slightly more complicated. But that the violent death rate has come down over time is undeniable, despite mankind inventing ever more effective ways to kill his neighbours.

Key word here is time.

The world population has almost tripled in only the past 60 years, the next major conflict will be catastrophic.

The fact remains that it is implied that religion is the cause of the worst human conflicts in history, yet that is demonstrably false.

People have killed more and on a grander scale post ‘enlightenment’ than anything religion ever did. The argument goes that enlightened, rational, scientifically minded societies are less violent, well welcome to industrial warfare and the 20th century.

It is almost unbelievable that people still maintain that religion is the cause of the worlds problems. Religion hasn’t caused a major conflict for damned near half a millennium.

Oh, and by the way, it’s not just human death, it’s how it is done. It’s a bit different sticking a sword in someone than carpet bombing/shelling/utterly destroying all infrastructure and inflicting massive environmental damage in the process.

This all done by supposedly more ‘rational’ ‘enlightened’ people.

The 20th century was BY FAR the most destructive, violent century in human history, and religion had nothing to do with it.

General moaning – so I’m at Countdown Jville. Supermarkets are hell on earth I tell ya. I’d like to throw them all in their big freezer – thanks for playing. I was there Tuesday. Pick n mix on special. At self-checkout – came up normal price. Oh dear. Lady say I’ll just wander off (very slowly) and check it out. So – I was the first customer to notice, yeah ? And that was the first she knew it wasn’t in the system. Sure, ok. I’m back there today. And . . . guess what ? Yep – they still ain’t fixed it.

I’m not a huge fan of the Asians – but I told one Asian couple filling up with pick n mix to make sure they got the promotion price – aren’t I a sweetheart ? The bloke went from ching shy shing shang to ‘yeah, thanks mate’ trying to be all kiwi an shit. Too funny.

My self-checkout was in the middle. I see a device on the left side surface. I think – did someone just leave it ? I hold it up and call out to people leaving. Nope – not theirs. It belongs to the *brown shit for brains* group at self-C to my left. I say ‘that’s a good place to leave it, isn’t it ?’ trying to hold back the attitude. I talk to Asians – see ? Told ya. Bloody useless. And one of the brown boy morons copies me ‘useless mate’ – fuck they’re so fucking thick and braindead. Don’t leave your shit on another self-checkout someone is about to use. That’s their space. You’ve got your space. Fuck off idiots. White dude had to go through twenty screens to fix my pick n mix – he was fast at it at least. What kind of fuckwits run that shithole eh ? Dickheads.

And on to another shop fraught with potential bullshit – my good mates at p’n’s. I’ve been busy doing shit – I’m only there for the exercise. I get more pick n mix. Right on closing, setting myself up for this. Can you go through the checkout, not self-checkout ? Ah fuck, here we go. I get some retard fuckin munter Indian woman fob. She can’t do the simplest task. What’s the problem now ? I don’t think this one is part of the picks and mixes. Her fob words – *picks and mixes*. Like a fucking three year old yet to master the basics. What the fuck on earth is *picks and mixes* ?? The one she questioned was coconut ice. Is it part of pick n mix ? Yes it fucking is dipshit. I had a selection from a few bins of pick n mix. What does she want to do – take the bag over and check the whole fucking lot ? She didn’t know – the fucking pick n mix police. If you don’t know your product – go and fucking learn which is which. That’s what I said to her. Go over to the bins and learn which one is which so you don’t have to fuck people around with your ignorant stupidity. She’s got no clue – so – that’s her problem. Spend ten minutes looking at your bulk bins so you don’t waste people’s time wondering if they might have got it wrong or price switching. Total fucking little braindead muppet. Picks n mixes. Another quality import from India – please let in more like her – thank you NZ govts, I love dealing with idiots. Again – I did it to myself. I will never ever ever ever use a checkout operator again. Take no chances of dealing with dumbarse fobs.

I was getting petrol – paying cash exact amount – no-one else there. Dickhead fob Indian says I’ll serve you over at the next counter in that stupid braindead accent. I said I’m paying cash – here it is – take it or leave it. Left the payment there and walked off. All your doing is leaving the money. I don’t need to be pushed around by some fuckin loser just to leave money on the register surface. Makes no difference.

Oh well – exactly. What do I expect from minimum wage braindead ATM personality imports ? Exactly.

I remember once that there were New Zealanders in this country. I wonder what ever happened to them ? Did they do a swap with India ?

nasska – on my run I’m sure it’s Sundays – one of the creepy weirdo lot, mormons or 7th day dipshits – are out doing the world a favour with their ‘religous shit’ patrol.
No matter what kind of non-verbal get lost signal you could possibly try to muster – you are breathing and therefore they **have** to fuck with you. Even though it would be abundantly clear to most sane people that you don’t want to know about them. You can’t shake them off no matter what. It’s rude, there’s nothing nice about them making themselves a problem for other people to deal with, it breaks unwritten social rules – and when you break rules shit can happen and they’ve asked for it as for as I’m concerned.

You can’t just be left alone. They can’t leave you alone. I’m on the other side of the street – and the fuckwits have to try and do what exactly ? Hello – from the other side of the street. Obvious I want nothing to do with them. Trying to make a sale from across the street. Don’t miss any and all possible chances, eh ? Door to door BS. Yeah cool, hello god lickers. At a street with footpath on one side only – I’ve got to pass them same side. Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear. Fuck. Fuckin arseholes. Fuckin brainwashed living dead religous telemarketers – junk males.

(loudly and very clearly enunciated) Hello boys – I like to masturbate and suck men’s cocks !!

nazz – they’re goneburger – indoctrinated with weido fiction – looooooong gone.

Fuck the maori and their shitty stoneage foul dribble..get the English language pronounciation correct first girly..after all, WE are the first peoples. WE are the majority. Get with the programme .

You hate to see it. Pronunciation. But I hear you mate, I hear you and agree – in fact the contorted mouth quip is a crack-up – you can hear the hours of rehearsal that went into their performances. Yeah – and they look like opera singers beating out the show-stopping high note. I’ve got a typo ‘your’ for ‘you’re’ above in rant one. But it’s pronunciate – I learnt that from talkback (wow indeed) as one older caller flamed a young teacher the call before over it – too funny. Years ago.

The Wanganui H thing – I heard someone saying Thonganui or whatever – that’s not just a spelling change; that’s a name change. Idiots calling it Fonganui. Fuckwits. I thought it wasn’t meant to change the pronunciation ? Whatever.

I actually learnt something from talkback right after commenting about an Asian wearing a germ mask – it came up the very next day – weird how that can happen. Ok – they wear them if they’re sick, and the idea is the mask prevents others getting sick. Good to know. What’s the mask really going to do ? How much does that change the chance of catching something mask versus no mask, hmmm ? Oh well – at least they think they’re doing you a favour. I learnt something about it – they don’t all do it thinking NZ is a toxic wasteland.

I had to put the rest of the ‘picks n mixes’ in the shed – I would’ve put away the whole damn lot. Moderation – yeah, right.

So the police can go to various courts to beat up those that supply alcohol or write “offending signs” on their own property but they can’t be bothered anymore doing what we all thought we paid them for, catching real criminals.

Citizens are taking this task into their own hands more and more because the plod head office seem to think that its all about them.

“A snatch-and-run victim used a mobile phone tracking app to find the address of her alleged perpetrators.

When police refused to help, she enlisted the help of a taxi driver and went to the house to retrieve her stolen $1000 iPhone 6.

Thai national Shina Jeamjanya, 25, had been in New Zealand for just a week when she was accosted by three teenage girls at Aotea Square on a Monday night.

Meanwhile after this lady retreived her phone wioth no assistance from the police;

A police spokeswoman yesterday confirmed the incident on April 18 where a cellphone was taken from Miss Jeamjanya on Queen St.

Investigations were continuing, she said, and police were following “positive lines of inquiry” to identify the people responsible.

======================================
Who wants to put money up that the police will do sweet fuck all about this. No one will be charged if they are ever identified (which really can’t be that hard seeing as how the lady got her phone back) and anyway they will slide under the radar cause of the usual bullshit that goes with these people and the ages and colours.

Time to harden the fuck up Judith.
Or are you just all noise as it seems.

Just to add to the above.

Four weeks ago, the Herald published a special series on burglaries. Among the disturbing findings was the startling revelation that the national burglary resolution rate last year was a bare 9.3 per cent, the first time that it had fallen to single digits. The disappointing cleanup rate may have been affected by a wider definition of burglary, where even minor incidents – the most-cited example was a basketball going missing from a front lawn – were logged in police records as burglaries. Still, it was someone’s ball, and its loss would have upset its owner.

The sense of personal distress was a strong element of the series, because it underlined how property owners felt after their belongings had been taken from their homes or possessions stolen from their vehicles. People whose properties had been targeted more than once described how they no longer felt safe inside their own residence.

A month on, it is heartening to know the police have clearly had a rethink about their approach to this category of crime. They could hardly ignore their own statistics, with nearly 100,000 burglaries logged over 18 months going unsolved. I

100,000 burgs a year unsolved. Smash and grabs on the rapid increase. what the hell are the Govt. and the Police doing?

Oh yeh fining people for doing 55 kph on a quiet road.

Penny Battles On

On Friday, the Auckland District Court awarded the council $13,250 for costs it has incurred in chasing Bright over the arrears.

This amount is on top of the $34,200 the court awarded it in February for rates she owes up to June 2015.

This makes a total of $47,450 outstanding to date.

Bright has been fighting the rates demands since 2011, and has now applied to the High Court for leave to appeal February’s district court ruling. That matter is due to be heard on July 6.

She would fight the latest ruling, she said.

“It’s an absolute disgrace that a citizen is having to be the one to try and hold Auckland Council accountable to the rule of law,” she said.

“I’m not budging because I’m not wrong.”

Bright stands to lose her house, which can be sold to pay the overdue rates.
