Dragging any sort of sheep up K2 could only end in tears.

On the other hand, if you got a live yak to carry you up there, you’d be on the money JB, as long as you didn’t tell your favorite sheep. 🙂

I haven’t seen bruv comment yet on the glorious win by our “Beloved All Blacks” over the mighty Springboks.

What a bloody good game – the boks were in it till the last seconds.

Bruv, on the other hand, will tell us that Ritchie McCheat should have been marched 🙂

Another one. Muslim man in Britain shoots dead his seven-year-old daughter then kills himself, because her mother – the man’s estranged wife – rejected Islam.

The only problem with yaks is that they complain –

“You white men are all the same – fuck you Yak, I’m alright”

So JB, it sounds ass though you may already have had a Yakky experience? 🙂

“….The days of the old “NZ Green” hippy weed grown on the river banks & the middle of maize paddocks are well gone….”

True Nasska.

As DG once agreed with me on – mental wards did not hold stoned hippies. Today’s mental healthcare where dope is concerned, is about paranoia and schizophrenia. All mostly due to modern growing techniques.

Harriet

The quest for strains of marijuana that would grow well under lights occurred because of police pressure on outdoor growers. Few things give a drug squad member a hard on quite like doing a Rambo jumping out of helicopters to rid the great outdoors of the demon weed. This took the growing out of the hands of the consumer & delivered the market to the gangs.

The strains that flourished under lights were those that delivered a “couchlock” stone, namely indicas as opposed to the lighter & trippy sativa weed that was introduced into NZ during the Vietnam war.

I realise that everyone has their own take on the subject but IMHO the efforts of the authorities goosestepping to America’s “War on Drugs” has been a total bust for all concerned.

There must be some mistake BB…..just the other day on these very threads a couple of the Godaddled reckoned that the Catholic church had got rid of all that sort of behaviour & it was only teachers who indulged in a bit of boy bothering on the side.

I must have misread the comments. 🙂

No no no.

I didn’t apologize for them. Or blame shift.

I simply compared the amount of Parish Priests against Priests who were teachers – then compared them with male teachers – not male and female teachers combined.

I stand by my opinion that children today are far safer to be taught by ‘priests qualified to teach’ compared to general male qualified teachers.

Currently male teachers who abuse are nearly all Married – while the absence of sex never came into it for Priests – as 99% didn’t offend.

Therefor male teachers, who have sex, are at greater risk of becoming rock spiders – as they offend at higher rates than celebate teaching Priests did.

Married male teachers are of serious concern.

This is interesting which I gleaned from a TM thread.Glen Greenwalds less than savoury legal client ,

” Greenwald defended Mathew Hale, a white supremacist, who was convicted for plotting to kill a federal judge. During the trial, Greenwald was censured for two counts of unethical conduct. Hale was jailed and a few months later, the Judges husband and mother were slaughtered after Hale sent a coded message via his Mother to Greenwald who passed it to one of Hales supporters.”

You can read the whole sorry saga here “, http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002101211

What the fuck are you getting at?

Are you suggesting that we should just accept the on going high level of child abuse inside the Catholic Church?

Or, like Harriet are you going to tell blatant lies and try and shift the blame onto another group?

TV 1 news has really bought into this “spying scandal” tonight.
Corin fair foaming at the mouth.
Old Dotcom must be thrilled with the publicity his millions have achieved.
Next thing you know TV 1 will be holding a live broadcast from the Auckland venue tomorrow night.

I hadn’t really agreed with previous discussions on this blog re media bias. Have changed my opinion about TV 1 that is for sure.
TV 1 has stepped over the mark – that is the scandal. And the fact that kiwis seem to be so easily influenced by this nonsense. Or are we? Time to say enough of this tripe.

What I do know Harriet is that you are an enabler of child abuse. Your blind refusal to accept the evil that infests the Catholic church allows the on going child abuse to continue.

Whaleoil asks RANDOM IMPERTINENT QUESTIONS and following comments imply Cunliffe has committed adultery – perhaps not a desirable trait in a leader – with three lawyers and a woman TV1 journalist.
http://www.whaleoil.co.nz/2014/09/random-impertinent-questions-29/#disqus_thread

I wonder how Len Brown feels about this – him being blown out of the water by Cameron Slater, but Cunilffe just subject to a little ongoing innuendo.

For the first time in my life I intend to hold my nose and PARTY vote Labour and encourage other undecided voters to do likewise. – Penny Bright

Well, Penny, this could be why you would hold your nose, but is it very transparent?

You’re not alone Fletch.

I gave up mainly because I’d got tired of watching talented actors reduced to eye candy and acting out the fantasies of overgrown adolescents who had somehow finagled their way into writing scripts. Where they were writing scripts that looked like old-time Doctor Who, without necessarily understanding why old-time Doctor Who worked and more importantly why it didn’t.

Firekin hell, are they still banging away at this one?

Terrible situation there. On one hand you’ve got the iron-fisted Assad regime, then you have the rebels who have gotten up to some pretty extreme sh*t themselves … a lot of hate and retribution stretching over many years. Some context on the news might show the gullible minority why it’s important the government keeps half an eye on what they’re up to. In this case, the ‘they’ appears to be one or two of our [at least at one time] people.

Nasska:

You realise, surely, that the ISIS only have peaceful intentions?

The Islamic State jihadist group claimed it beheaded British aid worker David Haines, in what would be the third such execution in recent weeks, after two US journalists were shown murdered.

The Islamist group released a video purportedly showing a masked militant beheading Haines.

The two-minute-27-second video titled “A Message to the Allies of America” blames British Prime Minister David Cameron for joining forces with the United States, which has said it is at “war” with the jihadists and launched air strikes against them in Iraq.
…
Haines had been working for the Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (ACTED), an international relief charity, and was previously involved in humanitarian work in the Balkans, parts of Africa and elsewhere in the Middle East.

So, even if you’re a non-political aid worker, you’re apparently fair game as far as ISIS are concerned.

I missed this when it came out in June, on the Greens abortion policy:

The Green Party would also allow abortions up to birth “when the woman would otherwise face serious permanent injury to her health or in the case of severe fetal abnormalities”.In other words, the Green Party is fine with aborting people as long as they are disabled. Next, Logie goes on to announce her party would like to “address discrimination against disabled people that exists in the current laws around abortion”. In one breath Logie pushes anti-disability eugenics, and decries discrimination on the basis of disability. Someone ought to point out to her that we won’t need anti-discriminatory laws if her party gets its way, because we would have killed all the disabled people before they even had a chance to be born.

Wow, so if Whaleoil is to be believed Mai Chen, Katie Bradford and Melissa Perkins (#4 conservative) all involved with Cunliffe. Slater dumps this a day before Kim Dotcom attempts to bring down Key – and if this does blow up then maybe that will work to reduce any impact it might have had.

Firstly it is absolutely in public interest to expose any such behaviour of a potential PM due to possibility of future extortion, you can bet foreign govt’s would be aware, and who knows if they could use it as leverage to NZ’s disadvantage.

If true then leaving aside the awful ethics/morality of the guy it goes to show how spectacularly screwed up his judgement is – how could anyone with such a high profile believe that they would not be exposed in a country this small, and who would want such an idiot in charge.

GIMP’s will be biggest gainers from disenchanted labour voters. Conservatives will likely be sunk by their #4’s purported involvement (too late to change list?).

There is no way that the MSM can keep this out of the news now without looking extraordinarily biased.
