Hey, some crazy guy shot someone in Canada. I guess we had better lock down our parliament just in case.

I once worked at a Toyota dealership (in Auckland). Straight after the first Christchurch quake the spectacular idiot running the place decided no car should be left raised in the air at night 'in case of an earthquake'.

I like how they're calling him a terrorist (because he was a convert to Islam)

And saying there "could be more shooters" (because there's more Islamic converts in Canada)

It's sad to seem the turning into America so hard.

i think they're saying there could be more shooters because shots were fired in two separate places at around the same time, actually

Is he bi-polar, I don't know how you can seperate what you do personally and what you do as the prime minister, because most people won't make that distinction. And Cameron Slater most likely isn't, he would only be talking to John Key because he is the PM, not because he wants to be a geninue friend.

The Prime Minister of New Zealand is dishonest. He didn't want to divulge how often he talks with Slater so he threw up enough of a mildly confusing smokescreen so that his speaker could shut down the line of questioning.

I am betting the answer to this will be he will stand up say "Yes" and then sit down while his caucus erupts in laughter and everyone else boos.

John Key is a good bloke, a mans man, you know he has to deal with the real dirty poo poo just like you and me. I mean, there are some matters that I can not possibly comment on for example, how to lay a tar seal on a roadway. Sure I drive on the roads, but hell I am not about to tell the dudes how to lay their road. thats what JK is about, just letting people get poo poo done. My favourite JK moment? When he reassured me that I, as a person, am not concerned about senior party political operatives hacking into the democratic opposition of this country akin to the WATERGATE scandal of some country ages ago that doesnt matter. JK knows that I am concerned about poo poo that matters. Like relenting to soft power of Ch-ch-ch-China :cheers:

It's not even being sold in the South Island. Apparently if you melt Whittakers chocolate into milk, it tastes more or less the same as the actual product. But that would take effort. The counterfeit chocolate milk rings probably disagree.

# ? Oct 25, 2014 19:54

I think it is essentially full cream milk with a block of whittackers chocolate melted in to it.

There is no counterfeit milk. That was almost certainly a mockup by the marketing Dept

It was missing the Whittaker's logo, most likely someone poured primo into one of the normal milk bottles

You think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and put milk in a different milk bottle?

gently caress this country; gently caress anyone who voted National; someone please execute the National Party front bench.

http://www.3news.co.nz/nznews/food-in-schools-bill-opposed-2014102215

quote:

The Government still opposes Hone Harawira's "feed the kids" bill, which means it won't get past its first reading in Parliament.

The Mana leader's bill has been picked up by Green Party co-leader Metiria Turei.

It was part-way through its first reading when Parliament adjourned for the election.

The bill would provide government-funded breakfasts and lunches in all decile one and two schools.

Ms Turei is urging parties to "put politics aside" and allow the bill to go through its first reading so it can be sent to a select committee for public submissions.

"Hungry kids are more important than scoring political points," she said.

Mr Key told reporters the Government hadn't changed its position on the bill.

"We would be providing meals that are provided by the vast bulk of parents and caregivers already," he said.

"We should expect parents to feed their children properly and the vast majority of them do."

Mr Key says the Government already has food in schools programmes that provide meals for needy children.

Wanted: more gangs to feed children, less politicians.

That's what i don't get. Why such the demand for this when it is so easy to make your own. There's no shortage of whitakers chocolate.

This easily replicated chocolate milk craze is clearly symbolic of the decline our traditional way of life is undergoing. Whatever happened to the number 8 fencing wire spirit of Kiwi ingenuity?
