Pete needs an old school horse saddle, so he can sit in the fence and the wire won’t cut his arse.
Pathetic girly sympathic man who won’t stand his ground.

Richard………….you seem pissed off.

Because of my opinions ? Hardly.

I’m no authority on any given subject matter whatsoever, least of all on what I talk about!

Why on earth would you take whay I say seriously ?

I think you need to get out and get some confidence or something……….harden up maybe.

Pete George opined:

” Hint – don’t pin your hopes on a non-existent Narrow Idealist party to win the election and return New Zealand to a time that never was with policies that will never be.”

This is another Public Service Translation for those who do not understand Liberal New-Speak.

“Whine – don’t pin your hopes on a values based party that I personally don’t like and return New Zealand to a time when you could leave your front door open with no fear and with policies that are offensive to my Liberal dogma. Instead, vote for the utterly useless Peter Dunne party.”

Hope that helps! 🙂

Ross12: thanks for your response at 4:49pm. As a WCC ratepayer you are more entitled than I am to approve of WCC’s expenditure on what I would regard as frivolous entertainment, and good on you for doing so if that’s the kind of benefit you want from part of your rates payments.

Personally, I’m sceptical. I’m old-fashioned enough to see rates as being for necessary public services and amenities for the city or district. But if the actual ratepayers of a city are willing collectively to give the Council a discretion to spend funds on community amusements, that’s fine – such is the democratic process. But I think personally that “user pays” is usually a better method of funding entertainment / amusements.

Have a good year, Ross12.

Monique, I’ll stop calling you stupid when you stop saying stupid things, like pretending that you know something that the world’s scientists don’t know.

It will be a real shame if Corey Andersons ton today doesn’t count as a world record because there were not 25 overs per side. Its 100 runs regardless of how many overs that were bowled in the match.

Lucia Maria

Don’t use the non-word ‘phyiscality’. It’s American, and it’s been adopted by many a kiwi who doesn’t know the difference between themselves and an American. [blah, blah, blah …]

I didn’t. If you were to read carefully, you would see that the word that I used and the word that you said I used are not spelt the same.

That out of the way, I’ll use any word I damn well please.

Man, this from a person who at times sprays swear words like spittle.

It’s obviously a typo. Lucia is a swear word in my book. My opinion is that god is a total and utter retarded cunt faced piece of shit.

🙂 🙂

Just like his followers.

Left Right and Centre – that’s a disgusting comment. I hope you reflect on it and see fit to apologise to Kiwibloggers and to DPF. Crap like that shits on all of us.

Open to the possibility of being wrong?

Always.

Good to hear. So, it seems that you err on the side of a supernatural explanation for the origin of life on Earth due to a combination of there being no proven natural explanation (impossible without time travel) and your broader set of beliefs regarding the Bible’s claims in general.

Meanwhile, I err on the side of assuming a natural explanation that can’t ever be known for certain, due to an observation of a long history of supernatural explanations being superseded by natural explanations once discovered (earthquakes, lightning, disease, diversity of life on earth, etc.)

It’s just that unlike with all of the other natural explanations that have replaced supernatural ones, there can never be concrete evidence to convince you. I can say, “Look, lightning is static electricity – I can make it myself with this device!” and you will say, “Oh, lightning’s not God’s doing after all.” And I can say, “Look, rainbows are refracted light – I can make them myself with this prism.” And you’ll say, “Oh, rainbows aren’t God painting the sky to promise not to slaughter everyone again.” And I can say, “Look, diseases aren’t demons – you can see the bacteria through this microscope.”

But the actual historical origin of DNA on earth are non-repeatable and therefore non-demonstrable. It’s a tiny uncloseable gap for the God of the Gaps.

What turned you, Ryan?

No one thing in particular. It was a long process that felt less like rejecting Christianity (and later, theism) and more like coming out the other side with fond memories. Ironically, I think it began with reading a line from Christian mystic Meister Eckhart: “What is truth? Truth is something so noble that if God could turn aside from it, I could keep to the truth and let God go.”

New Years Day General Debate turned into yet another ‘Generaly Religious Debate’

It was Pete’s fault, Steve. He wasn’t being fair, reasonable or sensible.

But isn’t this is way more fun than “Dur, Labour sucks. Dur, National sucks.”?
