Ryan’s comments at 1.34 and 2.25 and 3.52.

Wussell talks wubbish. And if he did not talk so much wubbish, he would not get the piss take. The man is psyco. The Earthquake will be paid for by the Taxpayer anyway, Wussel is just pissing off the rich pricks.
Oh yeah, a Wok is what you use to kill a Wabbit when you have’nt got a Wifle

So does Peter Dunne have anything other than opinion upon which to base his judgement that 1080 is a pernicious poison worthy of banning?

The substance of the report was scientific even if the commissioner’s summary was opinionated. However, I understand that MPs are often too busy to read the detail, so I suggest Mr Dunne keep an open mind until he has read the report an is thus, fully informed.

“To me – you can paint a turd pink but it’s still gonna end up in the sewer. And that’s my opinion”

Yours? Has political glibness written all over it.

FANTASTIC!

The Crown has been given the green light to seek recovery of the $1.2 Million from the morons who damaged the Waihopai base.

Excellent news. 😛

@ Scott Chris. I’ll see if I can track down the studies which our policy is based on.

For me – I believe that if communities are that agin 1080 then we need to devolve pest control back to the community. They could meet certain targets.

!080 is fine for knocking over possums until we can find a better, safer way Scott. It’s the fucking duplicity of the wankers at DOC who refuse to put deer repellant (at a very small extra cost) in it yet pretend they are not targeting deer.

That has pissed off a lot of hunters who see deer as a resource that can bring in serious dollars to our benighted little land.

It’s not the 1080 so much but the bloody hypocrisy of DOC that has caused the 1080 uproar. The silly little commissioner person is just following the party line.

I forgot your new lot were agin 1080 Pete! Whose your Hutt South candidate?

I will vote for him/her/ (not it)…… I know UF would never put an IT up as a candidate!! 🙂

Monique – look forward to seeing them. I do hope they are not opinion based and provide irrefutable scientific evidence that 1080 lingers undegraded in the environment and that a causal link has been identified between the use of 1080 and illness in humans.

Johnboy – Yes deer repellent does cost 25% more, but if hunters manage deer numbers, then DOC should use repellent in designated hunting areas.

I don’t mean to rain on your parade but looking at the background of the protestors they’re as poor as church mice, which in at least one case is pretty much what he is.

As an example, here’s their valiant Australian spokesman – Deep Green Catholic Bryan Law (who has posted here as “Bryla” – doing some damage to a Tiger attack helicopter in Australia recently, having ridden up to it on large tricycle.

Does he look like someone who’ll be able to pony up the $200,000 of damage to the $36 million chopper?

I’ll make a wild guess here – No!

Likewise for his mates in NZ, although a lifetime deduction of any benefits they get would be of interest. In Law’s case something that cuts his diet would be best, as he looks like he will soon also be costing the Australian Health system a fair chunk of cash.

25% more my arse Scott. That’s DOC liarspeak for you.

80% of the cost of 1080 is in aircraft time the poison cost fuck all.

Don’t believe DOC bullshit. That’s why they have no credibility on this issue.

They have their official line and they will stick to it come hell or high water otherwise they would have to try and justify the crap they have fed us on this subject for the last forty years.

Possibly, though if it were legs the government would likely have to provide mobility services.

Can you imagine the video of four guys mounting a coordinated electric wheelchair attack on a military chopper? Way cooler than the giant tricycle – it might even gain them supporters, perish the thought!

I liked the bit where his lawyer said he had not yet been assigned to the case by legal aid and was not able to receive disclosure on behalf of Masters: “This is no minor matter and I could not undertake it unless there is some compensation, all be it at the marginal rate provided by the ministry.”

The most valuable coin in the world sits in the lobby of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in lower Manhattan. It’s Exhibit 18E, secured in a bulletproof glass case with an alarm system and an armed guard nearby. The 1933 Double Eagle, considered one of the rarest and most beautiful coins in America, has a face value of $20 — and a market value of $7.6 million. It was among the last batch of gold coins ever minted by the U.S. government. The coins were never issued; most of the nearly 500,000 cast were melted down to bullion in 1937.

Most, but not all. Some of the coins slipped out of the Philadelphia Mint before then. No one knows for sure exactly how they got out or even how many got out. The U.S. Secret Service, responsible for protecting the nation’s currency, has been pursuing them for nearly 70 years, through 13 Administrations and 12 different directors. The investigation has spanned three continents and involved some of the most famous coin collectors in the world, a confidential informant, a playboy king, and a sting operation at the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan. It has inspired two novels, two nonfiction books, and a television documentary. And much of it has centered around a coin dealer, dead since 1990, whose shop is still open in South Philadelphia, run by his 82-year-old daughter.

If we were to dispense with the adversarial system of juries and lawyers and adopted a judge based inquisitorial system, this kind of thing would not happen. The whole process would be much more efficient, and the truth of the matter more likely to be established.

Chad and Mike were a pair of winos. They woke up with the shakes one afternoon to find that they only had forty cents between them. Chad began to climb the walls, but Mike said calmly,” Look old man, give me the forty cents and I’ll show you how we can drink free all day.”

So they went into a delicatessen, Chad bought a frankfurter and placed it in Mike’s fly. Next, they went into a near by bar and ordered drinks. When the bartender asked for his money Chad dropped to his knees and started sucking on the frankfurter. The bartender screamed,” You damn queers get out of here.”

They repeated this scene in bar after bar, until they had visited a dozen of them. Finally Chad complained, “Listen Mike, it is a great scheme but my knees are getting sore from hitting the floor so much!”

Mike shook his head. “You should complain,” said Mike, “We lost the hotdog after the second bar!!”

“Oh, No!” he gasped as he surveyed the disaster before him. Never in his
40 years of life had he seen anything like it. How anyone could have
survived he did not know.

He could only hope that somewhere amid the overwhelming destruction he
would find his 16-year-old son. Only the slim hope of finding Danny kept
him from turning and fleeing the scene. He took a deep breath and
proceeded.

Walking was virtually impossible with so many things strewn across his
path. He moved ahead slowly.

“Danny! Danny!” he whispered to himself. He tripped and
almost fell several times. He heard someone, or something, move. At
least he thought he did. Perhaps, he was just hoping he did. He shook
his head and felt his gut tighten. He couldn’t understand how this could
have happened.

There was some light but not enough to see very much.
Something cold and wet brushed against his hand.
He jerked it away.

In desperation, he took another step then cried out, “Danny!”

From a nearby pile of unidentified material, he heard his son. “Yes,
Dad,” he said, in a voice so weak it could hardly be heard.

“It’s time to get up and get ready for school,” the man sighed, “and,
for heaven’s sake, clean up your room!”

Crown will pursue trio for over $1m of damageYahoo! New Zealand
August 31, 2011, 6:37 pm tweet0EmailPrint

The Crown has been awarded the right to pursue three men who broke into the Waihopai Spy Base for over $1 million in damages.

Teacher Adrian Leason, friar Peter Murnane and farmer Sam Land are being chased for $1,229,289.

The trio were found not guilty in April 2010 by a jury of burglary and wilful damage of the base near Blenheim in 2008.

They cut through electric fences and slashed through an inflatable dome covering a satellite dish.

They used a “claim of right” defence and said they were saving Iraqi lives by disrupting satellite transmissions.

The Crown lodged an application at the High Court in Wellington earlier this month.

The trio will now be held liable for the damage they caused.

Associate Judge David Gendall said the trios arguments faced an “insurmountable hurdle” as they were effectively inviting the Court to authorise their general right of self-help, Stuff has reported.

“At one level this might be seen simply as a mask for anarchy. The notion that the Court might exonerate vigilante action is highly problematic.

“To take this approach as I see it would inevitably lead to unacceptable precedents being set in a range of areas.”

One day, during a lesson on proper grammar, the teacher asked for a show of hands from those who could use the word “beautiful” in the same sentence twice. First, she called on little Suzie, who responded with,
“My father bought my mother a beautiful dress and she looked beautiful in it.”
“Very good, Suzie,” replied the teacher.

She then called on little Michael. “My mommy planned a beautiful banquet and it turned out beautifully,” he said.
“Excellent, Michael!”

Then, the teacher called on little Johnny. “Last night, at the dinner table, my sister told my father that she was pregnant, and he said, ‘Beautiful, ……just fucking beautiful!'”

I’ve been following your trials of the past few day….it brought back some memories I have of the same experience. To me the worst was the litres of prep you have to drink & its effects. Dave Berry, who I’ve quoted below, wrote an article on it for the Miami Herald:

“In accordance with my instructions, I didn’t eat any solid food that day; all I had was chicken broth, which is basically water, only with less flavor.

Then, in the evening, I took the MoviPrep. You mix two packets of powder together in a one-liter plastic jug, then, you fill it with lukewarm water… (For those unfamiliar with the metric system, a liter is about 32 gallons). Then you have to drink the whole jug. This takes about an hour, because MoviPrep tastes – and here I am being kind – like a mixture of goat spit and urinal cleanser, with just a hint of lemon.

The instructions for MoviPrep, clearly written by somebody with a great sense of humor, state that after you drink it, ‘a loose, watery bowel movement may result.’ This is kind of like saying that after you jump off your roof, you may experience contact with the ground.

MoviPrep is a nuclear laxative. I don’t want to be too graphic, here, but: have you ever seen a space-shuttle launch? This is pretty much the MoviPrep experience, with you as the shuttle. There are times when you wish the commode had a seat belt. You spend several hours pretty much confined to the bathroom, spurting violently. You eliminate everything. And then, when you figure you must be totally empty, you have to drink another liter of MoviPrep, at which point, as far as I can tell, your bowels travel into the future and start eliminating food that you have not even eaten yet.

After an action-packed evening, I finally got to sleep. “

Little Johnny’s next door neighbor went to see a psychiatrist. “The other day,” the woman said, “I happened to see my daughter and the little boy next door both naked, examining each other’s bodies.”
“Well, that’s not unusual,” smiled the psychiatrist, “I wouldn’t worry about something as normal as that.”
“But I AM worried doctor.” insisted the woman. “I don’t think it’s normal at all, and neither does my daughter’s husband.”

Three old men were sitting around at the nursing home, discussing ageing.

The 80 year-old said, “The best thing that could happen to me would just to be able to have a good pee. I stand there for twenty minutes, and it dribbles and hurts. I have to go over and over again.”

The 85 year-old said, “The best thing that could happen to me is if I could have one good bowel movement. I take every kind of laxative I can get my hands on and it’s still a problem.”

Then the 90 year-old said, “That’s not my problem. Every morning at 6:00 am sharp, I have a good long pee. At 6:30 am sharp I have a great bowel movement.

The best thing that could happen to me would be if I could wake up before 7:00 am.”

Written On A Toilet Wall:

Here I sit
Broken-hearted
Came to shit
But only farted

Some come here to sit and think,
some come here to shit and stink,
but I come here to itch my balls,
and read the writing on the walls.

Sticks and stones may break my bones,
but whips and chains excite me,
So… throw me down,
and tie me up and show me that you like me.

Here I sit I’m at a loss
Trying to shit out taco sauce
I know I’m gonna drop a load
I only hope I don’t explode

Written on the left wall:
*TOILET TENNIS*
look right
Written on the right wall:
look left

here I sit all broken hearted
tried to shit but only farted
then one day I took a chance
tried to fart and shit my pants

On hearing that her elderly grandfather had died, Jenny went straight to visit her grandmother. When she asked how her grandpa had died, her grandma explained, not holding back anything of course, “He had a heart attack during sex, Sunday morning!” Horrified, Jenny suggested that screwing at the age of 94 was surely asking for trouble! “Oh no,” her grandma replied. “We had sex every Sunday morning in time with the church bells!” “In with the dings, out with the dongs!” She paused to wipe away a tear, “If it wasn’t for that damn Ice Cream Truck, he’d still be alive!!!”

WHEN IS IT CLIMATE, AND WHEN IS IT WEATHER?
Simple. Irene was Climate, a monster storm clearly brought about by human changes in the planet.
Stories like below, on the other hand, are mere randomly-varying Weather..

Parts of Britain suffer coldest summer for nearly two decades.

Good news and bad news in this poll of 51 countries:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/damian-carrington-blog/2011/aug/30/climate-change-opinion-skeptic#

Andy, hurricanes and storms have always exsisted. Your claim that Irene was caused by AGW is just a lie – I was going to use a less pointed term but, if the cap fits, Andy…

The good news is that even with the USA included, less than 10% describe themselves as skeptics.

“Andy, hurricanes and storms have always exsisted. Your claim that Irene was caused by AGW is just a lie – I was going to use a less pointed term but, if the cap fits, Andy…”

My claim?
Now that’s funny.
AGW is a myth, a scam, a money making sheme….

The AGW prophets (“Repend, the end is nigh!”) are proclaiming this to be the punishment for the non-believers….

Global Warming’s Heavy Cost

Hurricane Irene’s dangerous power can be traced to global warming says Bill McKibben—and Obama is at fault for his failed leadership on the environment.

Andy, read carefully:

Hurricane Irene’s dangerous POWER can be traced to global warming says Bill McKibben

McKibbens’ statement is factually accurate and does not say that Irene was caused by AGW.

Do not dissemble or equivocate, please.

“The Crown has been given the green light to seek recovery of the $1.2 Million from the morons who damaged the Waihopai base.”

Hopefully, the Crown will chase them jointly and severally – these vandals need to pay for the consequences of their actions. If required, hit their salaries until it their debt is paid off in full. Force the sale of assets they may own (farms, homes, cars etc).

This decision is good news and a timely reminder to all placard waving dissidents that they need to be accountable for their actions and that they can no longer hide behind the skirts of others.

Still joke time?

LITTLE JOHNNY ON MATH:
Little Johnny returns from school and says he got an “F” in arithmetic.
“Why?” asks the father.
“The teacher asked me, ‘How much is 2×3?'” “I said, 6,” replies Johnny. “But that’s right,” said the father.
Johnny continued, “Yeah, but then she asked me, ‘How much is 3×2?'”
“What’s the ****ing difference?” asks the father.
“That’s what I said!” exclaimed Johnny.

Yep, Munich Re is at it again:

http://www.munichre.com/app_pages/www/@res/pdf/group/focus/climate_change/weather_catastrophes_in_china_1980%E2%80%932010_en.pdf

Extract:

“Flooding in China

Munich Re believes that weather extremes such as the massive floods experienced by China since early June are due to the advance of climate change. The trend towards increasingly higher losses from natural catastrophe losses is primarily due to socio-economic factors. The population is growing, more and more people are moving into exposed areas, and at the same time property values are also rising. Yet it would seem that the growing number of weather-related catastrophes can only be explained by climate change. The view that weather extremes are more frequent and intense due to global warming is in keeping with current scientific findings as set out in the Fourth IPCC Assessment Report.

As Prof. Peter Höppe, Head of Munich Re’s Geo Risks Research unit, emphasised: “The devastating floods in China are of a dramatic dimension – a phenomenon that has unfortunately occurred in China with increasing frequency over the last few decades. Every year, millions of Chinese are victims of weather-related natural catastrophes. And the risk is steadily growing, for climate change harbours the potential for torrential downpours while the risk of drought in certain regions is also on the rise.””

And an interesting statistic they show is that over the period from 1980-2010 (see link provided), the number of weather catastrophes in China increased almost fivefold.

Just more alarmist propaganda!

Nitey nite.

Munich Re stockprice

If you select the period from January 1, 2007 to today you’ll note they have declined from E138 to E88.

Apparently a company that just was not smart enough to beat the GFC.

Still, let’s hope AGW can at least allow them to easily boost their premiums. Looks like they’re off to a good start with Luc.

The major problem facing the world today is not AGW its human over population.
The west has been responsible for exporting its modern technology to society’s that are not ready to except them.
medical treatments that prolong life and decrees mortality.
Agricultural advances that increase food production.
These technology have in the west encourage a stable population level as western civilization has evolved to compensate for the effects.
In the rest of the world this has not developed driving a massive explosion in population.
AGW has the potential to negate this distortion by regulating the population of the third world due to drought flood and other natural catastrophes

The earth isn’t over populated. Most of it is empty.

I’ve noticed people who claim this don’t think THEY are the problem – it’s always someone else causing the “overpopulation” (generally a brown person of some sort).

So the repeated calls for aid to the Sudan, Ethiopia, Africa, Korea etc etc that have been happening over the last fifty years or more are the fault of the west. That fact that civilized world limits its population growth is causing the starving millions. Thanks for your intelligent dismissal of my argument. The world will not have famine and pestilence if the west just blames its self.
