DPF’s bullshit poll to push his agdenda.

Jesus Dave why don’t you just publish the results now and save the chirade of stacking the ballots?

David first tells us all about how polling outfits can regulate the results of their surveys by stacking the questions.

Then we get his own little capitalist driven poll question on the left.

Should employees be allowed to work on a public holiday

if they wish to earn extra money?

Firstly a strawman question, follwed by what we IN THE TRADE call end loading a question in a double barral format.

Yes - it is their right

No - I know what is best for them

Not just a simple yes or no to his heavily laoded question but if you do not follow Davids line of “he has no family and he wants to be making money 24/7 and everyone else can cram it” thinking then you both have to firstly violate someones “rights” closely followed by forcing your opinions on them.

Firstly it is not anyones RIGHT to work all day every day. It never has been. For those of you that came in late there was a time when you did your shopping once a week on a late night usually either a Thursday or Friday. The concept of Saturday trading is actually quite recent let alone the 24 hour shit we see now.

Secondly David, like John Key is horribly out of touch with working conditions for people at the bottom of the food chain where having a “right” doesn’t mean you’re going to exercise that “right” without consequence. If employers (and employees) were all even handed and fair people there would be no such thing as the employment tribunal.

When an employer tells you to work you have the choice of working or finding yourself getting less hours. If that means your kids know you by a photo and the guy sleeping late on Easter morning thats fine with Dave because he wants you to have the right to have more money!

Screw the fact that to many people time with their kids is actually more valuable than minimum wage. Dave says its all about the money!

For many many low income workers the statutory holidays are the ONLY time they can be sure they will be able to get some family time without being presured by their employer to work.

I challange David to run two polls together. First his neolinguisic programing for his position and then one for the workers.

Should employees be coerced into working on a public holiday

if they wish to spend time with their families?

Yes - If they don’t like it they can be replaced!

No - We’ve already abolished slavery once in this country why are we trying to reinstitute it?

Full marks for trying to be cute DPF. 0 out of 10 for honesty.

Bullshit! DANGEROUS BULLHIT!!!

The country’s youngest killer, Bailey Junior Kurariki, is an articulate, intelligent young man, who appears genuine in his desire to live an offence-free life, the Parole Board said yesterday.

This guy is a hardened killer. Don’t let the babyface fool you. He knew what he was doing and he has never regretted it. In fact he is under the impression that he is a celrebrity because of it. He has been involved in multiple violent incidents while inside and shows no connection with the concept of cause and effect.

This profile they have just presented flys in the face of all available information which indicates that he is expected to reoffend pretty much on his way home if hes let out.

Witness their last report:

The comments are in stark contrast to Parole Board reports released in January and July last year, which said Kurariki was “at very high risk of general and violent reoffending”.

So what are they going to do?

The Parole Board said yesterday it had adjourned Kurariki’s parole hearing for one month to allow funding of a mentoring programme to be investigated. He is due to be released on September 16.

“Despite the problems he presented with earlier in his incarceration he has over the past several months, and particularly since his transfer to the [withheld] Unit, showed a self-discipline and determination to stay out of trouble and benefit from the programmes available to him.”

And theres the message for all inside, just say the right words for 8 or so weeks and we’ll let you out!

But thats no biggie to the parole board. Letting out killers to kill again is what they do.

The function of the parole board is to protect the New Zealand public from violent criminals. You have failed us… again… and aigan… and AGAIN!!

If you have any sympathy for anyone it should be this lady:

Mr Choy’s mother, Rita Croskery, told the Herald yesterday that she hoped Kurariki was reformed, but said it would be difficult to know whether he had really changed. “Because he’s expecting to be released, he’s got to behave himself so I suppose he’s restrained himself and learned a little bit of self-discipline in the meantime.”

Whatever happens her son is still dead. Beaten by Kurariki and his pack of thug mates for a couple of pizzas and some cash.

Psst guys. Irony doesn’t mean it has lots of iron in it.

AROUND 150 Muslims voted with the leader of the radical Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir that taking part in the political process is a waste of time.

Yes Virginia, there really are people this stupid.

We’re working on it.

Matt Drudge is a fucking cunt.

He also needs a bloody good smack in the mouth and I’ll be happy to deliver it if someone pays the postage.

You’re a complete asshole Drudge, you’ve put the lives of one of Her Majesty’s officers in direct danger and compromised the operational effectiveness of his unit for fucking hits. You want to claim the credit for an exclusive? All yours.

You’re a whore who may as well be getting paid by the teleban and I spit on you.

When you’ve got a service number some things and people just really piss you off.

WTF is this?

In a campaign that has spread like wildfire across the Internet, a group of Israeli environmentalists is encouraging Jews around the world to light at least one less candle this Hanukka to help the environment.

No I’m not shitting you.

How about the clerics in Paris tell their “disaffected yoof” to light one less citeron to help the environment this year hmm?

Unfreakenbelievable.

Do you speak Japanese?

You’re fucking welcome.

Visit Kranji some time for some perspective, your bill is in the mail.

As an aside, my father was decorated by your King for his part in keeping your country free. Was yours?

“Distinguished chivalry, gallantry, sacrifice, or loyalty” in contributing to the freedom of independence of Malaysia.” Interesting words.

Gratitude is another good one.

Your issue would also appear to be with the current Malaysian government. Not the one from 50 years ago.

US Homeland Security - a law unto itself.

And actively seeking to create enemies for the US and destroy good relations with allies (you can insert “former” if you so desire).

More to follow.

Things that make you old*.

Driver: Fuck fuck fuck fuck!
CC: What was that for?
Driver: One for each of the thirty cal rounds that just smaked off the trim vane right in front of my seat!
CC: How you can tell it was thirty?
Driver: It didn’t COME THROUGH and I don’t appear to be a red fucking smudge in the cargo bay!
CC: Can you SEE where you’re going?
Driver: No, I’m using The Force.
CC: Why can’t you see????
Driver: Well the dirt from the shell bursts seems to have accumulated on the engine deck and is blocking the periscopes. Can I have a hint? Seeingeye dog maybe? [Can I put in a vote for not continuing with my foot flat to the floor?]
CC: I think we might be too far into the impact zone.
Driver: ……!!!! [YA THINK????]

RSO: Check fire check fire check fire. All callsigns halt immediately and remain where you are.

CC/Driver: Shit

Friendly fire. Like “Ex-Wife” but slightly less hostile.

Admit it, if we had taken a direct from one of the 105’s or it had been .50 instead of .30 you would have missed me (They didn’t). Some of those live fire exercises were more interesting than others and there’s nothing like getting the complete and undivided attention of almost every senior officer in the army for causing a check fire during their most expensive game since the Americans stopped playing with us and paying for everything expendable and letting us steal everything that wasn’t.

Thanks David you fat prick.

However since there was never anything official put on paper and no-one (ME) was charged I’m assuming it never happened so any PTSD and associated nighmareswill have to be atributed to extreme vehicle maintainence or track bashing above and beyond or possibly those traumatic vists to the mess. Meh.

Anyway thats as hairy as it ever got for me and I’m happy with that.

*Events may not have actually taken place.

Then you get people like Bill who have a sack full of them from which to select a tagline.

That’ll keep your local beer outlet owner in good with bank manager I’m thinking.

This Just Cannot Be Ignored.

URGENT ACTION - Stop UK deporting Iranian to her death!

Posted by Brett

The media has been full of debate and discussion about the deportation of a convicted killer to Italy. I don’t want to get into that debate, except to note that the consequences for Learco Chindamo of deportation to Italy would be relatively inconsequential when compared to the probable fate of Pegah Emambakhsh, an Iranian lesbian, about whom there hasn’t been a single column inch in the mainstream media.

Pegah Emambakhsh is an Iranian national who sought asylum in the UK in 2005. Her claim was rejected and she was arrested in Sheffield on Monday 13th August 2007. She is scheduled for deportation to Iran on 27 August 2007.

If returned to Iran, she faces certain imprisonment, likely severe lashings and possibly even stoning to death. Her crime in Iran is her sexual orientation - she was in a same-sex relationship.

Ms Emambakhsh escaped from Iran, claiming asylum, after her lover was arrested, tortured and subsequently sentenced to death by stoning. Her father was also arrested and interrogated about her whereabouts. He was eventually released but not before he had been tortured himself.

Ms Emambakhsh has a more than well founded fear of persecution if she is returned to Iran. She belongs to a group of people - gays and lesbians - who, it is well known, are severely persecuted in Iran.

According to Iranian human rights campaigners, many lesbians and gay men have been executed since the Ayatollahs came to power in 1979.

In 2006 a German court ruled that an Iranian lesbian could not be deported as she risked death because of her sexuality.

The UK Border and Immigration Agency (BIA) have chosen not to believe that she is in danger if returned to Iran, even though the UK government are well aware of the dangerous situation that gay people face there.

The BIA will be committing a serious miscarriage of justice and a gross human rights violation if they insist on Ms Emambakhsh’s deportation.

The Asylum Seeker Support Initiative in Sheffield are now getting Pegah new solicitors in order to make a fresh claim for asylum based on new evidence and expert testimonies. A stay of deportation is needed to give Pegah time to prepare and submit this fresh claim.

Pegah’s MP, Richard Caborn, has already won one stay of deportation and is working secure another postponement of deportation on 27 August.

You can help. Please write or email asap the British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith and to Pegah’s British constituency MP, Richard Caborn (see details below).

Pegah Emambakhsh’s Home Office reference number is: B1191057. This number must be quoted in any letter, so the Home Office can identify
and access her case.

Letters need to be sent TODAY by first class post to arrive tomorrow, Friday 24 August, at the latest. If you can’t send a letter, a fax is a good alternative, and an email is certainly better than nothing. Mark all correspondence “For the persona attention of…”

Please write to:

Rt Hon Jacqui Smith MP, Home Secretary,
2, Marsham St,
London SW1P 4DF

Fax no: + 44 (0) 207 035 3262 or +44 (0) 207 035 2362

In related news, the Daily Mail has a story, with photos, of the public flogging of 25-year-old Saeed Ghanbari, convicted under Iran’s ‘morality laws’ of drinking alcohol and having sex outside of marriage.

Ahmed Zaoui is FREE!

As he always has been.

Free to leave my country. From the moment he was caught trying to sneak in using a false passport he has been free to leave whenever he wants. He didn’t have to change his story three times before calling a lawyer known for getting people refugee status - funny how he just happened to have THAT phone number on him isn’t it? He didn’t have to stay in jail for one day, all he had to do was say the word and he would have been gone. His choice, not ours kept him here.

He has however chosen to stay here and he has cost the New Zealand taxpayer millions of dollars. He has chosen to be a parasite while to doing his utmost to open our national security methods to public examination thus ensuring our systems for detecting and dealing with terrorists are hopelessly compromised.

Why are we paying for this to happen again?

Meanwhile AI once again defend the terrorists goals while leaving the true HR violators a free hand.

Why don’t you piss off and protest in Tiananmen Square or down town Terahan you spineless democracy hating wastes of space? Oh thats right, because in those place they don;t give a crap about human rights and you’d dissappear.

The greatest threat to security is the belief that there is no threat to security.

The greatest threat to Western Civilisation is the belief that there is no threat to Western Civilisation.
