Old wanker of the week #2

So here’s a surprise for ya. This from the New Zealand Herald today.

Seriously old white male ex All Black (how staunch could you get) is criticising society for being too PC.

Speaking at Parents Inc breakfast, run by fundy Christian and media personality Ian Grant, all manner of bollocks was spurted out as being fundamentally wrong with society.

I like the example he gave though. Remember he’s speaking at a conference about good Parenting in 2008 for fathers. He lamented the day when you could take your kids to a rugby match, go to the pub afterwards and leave the kids asleep in the car outside.

Hello!!! McFly!!!

The world, thankfully has moved on from those days. I would never in a million years consider putting my kids in the back seat of the car while downing a jug or two of beer in the club rooms.

This is not PC rubbish, it’s just part of good parenting.

He then went on all manner of lies and rubbish. Of course you can put your kid on the back of a horse with you, there is now law and it’s not frowned upon.

He then manages to ramble on about respect, and i think something about how respect is lost because people are protesting?

And then he went on about how he smacked (but not hit) his and other people’s children. Sorry sunshine, you touch my kids and I’ll have you in the courts so fast the numbers on your rugby jersey would fall off, I don’t care one bit you are some sort of rugby legend. You see, to respect me, is to acknowledge that I don’t hit my kids and that you are not to either.

It must be a bugger of a world for sad old gits like Lahore and Bob Jones, when all around them the social norms are changing, and thankfully attitudes of belittling Lesbians and hitting your children are no longer what they used to be.

I mean where the hell is the respect for anyone if you hit them or label them names for the express purpose of putting them down.

Respect my bollocks.

Fuck off Bob Jones

Anyone who thinks that he can malign whole sections of society just because he doesn’t want the precious english language to evolve, can sod off.

The Criminal Procedure Bill had changed the name of Foreman of the Jury to Foreperson of the Jury, thus eliminating the 167 year old term that was essentially sexist.

What the hell is wrong with gender neutral language, not one single thing. Shakespeare coined or invented over 1700 new words or terms in his life time. The beauty of the english language is that it evolves, and to remove gender from language in terms like this is a good thing.

In the article from Stuff.co.nz, Jones stated “It’s typical of the Government where they have gone berserk with this sort of stuff.” “It’s not a feminist takeover, it’s a lesbian takeover in Wellington”. Going on to say that “There’s hardly a Government head that’s not a lesbian … so many lesbians are in top jobs and they don’t want to acknowledge any sex”.

Regardless of the sexuality of anyone in Wellington, after 167 years of calling women Foreman, it’s about bloody time we changed it. What an old and thankfully increasingly marginal git.

What a load of old white male bullshit. Is Bob looking at getting back into Parliament this year, or why else would he say such bloody stupid shite?

Who will be the first to DIE!

I just can’t bloody believe it.

In Breaking news , the New Zealand Police have decided to adopt the ‘less-lethal’ Taser guns as a weapon of choice. {story here - NZ Herald}

Having watched a man die at the hands of over zealous cops in Vancouver, it even made the news here, I have become an ardently opposed to the introduction of these things here.

For a refresher, just to see how bloody ‘less-lethal’ they are check out my post from Vancouver from November 2007.

http://concernedoflinwood.wordpress.com/2007/11/15/warning-tasers-kill-warning-graphic-content/

And yes the content is graphic, you see a man tasered, then die in front of your very eyes.

So who will be the first in New Zealand to have that infamous tag of the first to die by police taser.

How to turn a good day bad

Simply listen to NewsTalk ZB at any stage during the course of the day when talk back is on.

If anyone wanted confirmation that Kiwis are a whinging, moaning, negative bunch of busy bodies - quite simply grumpy buggers who hate others doing well or getting ahead, listen to the likes of Leighton Smith, Danny Watson et all. It will take your breath away, turn a good day bad and make you bloody ashamed to be a Kiwi.

How to be a good NewsTalk ZB host 101; (pick on any of the following at will)

Bag anyone with green aspirations, have a go at global warming (well simply deny it)

Bag anyone from the left, bloody socialists or communists

Bag anyone that uses anything slightly respectful of someone else, prime target are those bloody PC folk. They love stating they are Anti-PC, whatever that means?

All civil servants are leeches

The economy is stuffed

Our kids are soft

We have no international standing

Where is the bloody military?

Where is military training

The Japs/Commies are still coming

Bloody sports people are soft

Dole bludgers (don’t need a reason they’re all lay about assholes)

DPB mums (don’t forget the lowest of the low DPB dads - PC wankers), there ought to be a law…

Anyone with a degree

Students

Lecturers - pinko commies

The Tax department (remember tax is theft)

Not enough police

Too many criminals

Too soft on criminals

Too many bloody lesbians, don’t get them started on homosexuals.

Too many lesbian green teachers

All teachers are socialists

Section 59 is possibly more evil than the Devil himself

God is almighty

Leave everyone alone to get on with life, DO NOT mention the bloody Nanny State

Helen Clark is possibly as evil as Stalin or Mao

MMP only leads to homos, lezzers, tree huggers, commies and Maoris running amock in the house.

Bring back FPP

The media is a great left wing conspiracy machine

Do not, repeat do not use any Maori words, and if you do, make sure you deliberately mispronounce it, just to piss off the Male Primary School Communist Tree Hugging Gay teachers

Then after hitting on anyone of that list, let the callers, txt and email messages flood in about how the country has gone to hell in a hand cart, listen to all manner of stereotypical prejudice and lies and let them get away with it. After all we’d hate facts and respect to get in the way of a good bagging.

I seriously wonder how these people got so bloody angry? Mind you if you call up talk back radio bagging someone for this and that and the talk back host doesn’t do a single thing to correct you or even call into question your sources or facts, on national radio, you have been affirmed.

Funny thing is, I am many of the categories above, yet if I was to met one of these buggers in a pub, would they have the courage to say their vile shite to my face, not bloody likely.

Talk radio in New Zealand is a blight on our society. I don’t mind dissenting voices, I don’t care one toss that they may be all right wing white heterosexual folks, they have fears and concerns, but for what ever reason, instead of putting the poor dears to ease, the radio hosts foster and encourage a level of fear and hatred that is well pretty bloody unique to NZ. Listening to talk back in Vancouver (it has a huge white trash population) they aren’t nearly as angry (more reason to be), and a hell of a lot more respectful of others. Mind you, the hosts (right wing) will not allow you to slander and lie your way through a good rant.

I can’t stand the day hosts on News Talk ZB, they do this country one hell of a disservice.

Surprise Surprise, we don’t trust National

Well of course that should be “We Can’t Trust National”

I mean it was only two weeks ago that senior (well 2 I.C. not much more senior than that) MPs from National were all caught out telling us stuff they shouldn’t have been, comes the poll that shows that 45.7% of the public think National has a hidden agenda. Colour me surprised.

So Lockwood Smith, Nick Smith, Bill English and now Maurice Williamson have all said stuff that dear leader, oh glorious smug saviour of the middle classes has now refuted or rebuked. So who the hell is in charge at National. I guess it shows strong leadership. It also shows that he doesn’t like the ’secret’ message getting out. You know the unpalatable stuff that National will sell this and that, borrow like the 1980s and now more or less take all of your promised tax cut in road tolls.

What a great cock-up of a party. It shows how deep the will for change from voters is though, if after all of these revelations, and sod all policy that is longer than 1A4 pdf, they are holding their party vote relatively firm, if not easing slightly. But what they hell are you getting if you vote them in?

Borrowing overseas funds to pay for tax cuts (whops that’s right infrastructure - or tax cuts).
Yes no maybe selling of popular state assets
Who knows what with policy in key areas. After almost a decade in opposition they are still developing it.
Policy released one day and refuted the next.

I mean how can a very senior MP, spokesperson for transport (a pretty bloody key portfolio) get, and quote, “got a bit exuberant about the numbers”. Either he’s the bugger defining the policy (who knows it could be the bloody EB’s for all we know with that shady lot), how can he be “exuberant”.

This issue got plenty of play in the media today, and rightly so. No doubt there will be the right wing wackos harping on about liberal socialist media beat up. But come on, a senior MP, quite possibly (well hopefully) developing crucial policy, announces preliminary directions only to be poo pooed by the brass within hours of the news breaking.

Who the hell is in charge, and at nearly half of the country not trusting you now, how high will that figure go, and when will it really hurt in the polls?

Which face of National

So which of the two faced bastards are you to believe?

Maurice Williamson, the spokesperson on transport on the weekend suggested that some kiwis (well Aucklanders) would be facing up to $50 a week toll costs in new roaring projects in the region.

Then even before the ink had dried on the headlines, or before the story had time to be caches in the ether, the man charged with presenting National as a paletable alternative to the public, poo poos the idea.

So who’s to believe? The guy charged with developing policy for National in that area, or the head spin doctor. Which face of this monster is more paletable to the masses.

I believe Williamson must have said something based on truth, where else would he come up with these figures so authoratively?

Is this why National continues to withhold policy from the people - it’s unpalletable.

Now they want to break the law

This is a personal blog, with bugger all ambitions of ever achieving Pulitzer Prizes or being adapted into a Hollywood blockbuster, so excuse me if the language from time to time is somewhat colloquial.

I’m talking about those two faced bastards over at the Sensible Sentencing Trust. They’re really starting to get on my tit. Their retributive styled ideologies somehow give them the idea that they are right and the rest of society is wrong.

Why do I say all of this? Because they have a law they don’t agree with (the Election Finance Act, which limits political spending from interest groups), and because they don’t agree with it, they are going to break it. They claim flaunt it, but it’s exactly the same thing as breaking the law.

They claim “the act which limits advertising spending by non-political parties soliciting votes for or against a party unless they register as a third party is anti-democratic and stifling public debate.” This is one view, others believe that we have so many interest groups in NZ politics, that a level of transparency about who is saying what and how much it cost them is a small price to pay for putting your name at the bottom of a political message. I don’t think the EFA is stifling public debate.

This all came about after the last election after it was discovered that the wacko right wing religious idiots the Exclusive Bretheran put a $1m campaign in place to discredit Green politics and policies. Jesus would have been mighty pissed off.

So a pressure group with the express interest in making this country safer and more law abiding is going to break the law to suit their own needs, because they see fit to do so.

How does this make them any different from organised crime, petty criminals, sexual offenders, corporate criminals and violent criminals. They are all breaking the law to suit their own needs and wants, just as the SST is proposing.

I am all for political action and protest, but a law abiding pressure group telling people it’s ok to break the law is just a little too much to stomach.

Original Story

Wankers

$10Million to create legal defence for child abuse

Today I am sickened and embarrassed to be a New Zealander.

The religious wacko right in NZ, has successfully petitioned the government to hold referendum to what amounts to creating a legal defence for child abuse. I will not pull any punches (excuse the pun), if you tick the box to say yes to hitting a child, you have given up all rights to to membership of a civil society. How can anyone hit the most precious and vulnerable members of our society?

Anyone who hits a child, no matter how lightly or ‘lovingly’ isn’t worthy to hold the title as a member of the human race. You evil bastards. The blood of the first beaten child will now be on your hands.

Sick perverted bloody (religious) wackos.

The Hunt continues…..

So National said “they would recognise the tall young man who was dressed less conservatively than most Young National members”

from Stuff.co.nz

There isn’t any security footage of the Cocktail Party, but I’ve managed to get exclusive party pics. Which one isn’t dressed so conservatively?

At least one of them looks like he’s having fun - no wonder he’s got a tape recorder under there.

National supporting Kiwibank?

At least there’s some support from ex National staffers supporting Kiwibank.

Has anyone noticed the nice irony here? While all decrying the state’s involvement in assets, the majority of right wing posts are against the idea of a government bank (although they exist all over the world), KiwiBlog seems happy to advertise it.

Also, I love the “ZIP” wording, how wonderfully serendipitous, perhaps the trio of Nat boys should have kept Zipped. In case you can’t read the wording to the right of the banner it reads “kiwiBank it’s ours”.

Isn’t life just full of wonderful little moments. (Hope David is making money from them).
