Hard News: About Chris Brown, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
The barge of fate adrift in the root canal…
Oh, very good. :)
Just realising how it's everywhere and not just humans. I notice the bulls dry hump all the time over the back fence and the one up front clearly not enjoying himself. Sheep, not so much. -
Hard News: About Chris Brown, in reply to Russell Brown,
Otoh, I do wonder if hearing Chris Brown instructing women to be “head down, ass up” in seemingly every track starts to normalise that as an attitude
I think it is pretty gross too . Many times when I hear of something ghastly in the news that someone has done to someone else ,I wonder if it is an influence from music or TV or Movies which does make it a fine line of which I don’t know where it is or how it should be determined. At the dentist the other day ,looking at the ceiling, I mentioned how sexist the music video was and asked them (through a numb face) if they thought objectifying women like that was acceptable to them. They said yeah it was sexist but that’s what the kids dress like nowadays and their children loved that sort of music. I was glad I could ignore it by requesting more Novocaine. In reality the Dentist and her assistant (who had kids) just ignored it too. They actually had never thought about it. Faux humping a scantily clad woman from behind seems to be par for the course .

but there is little return to the animal’s quality of life from our ‘benign interest’.
Isn't that how Key treats all of us? Panda, Amanda...

My issue with Brown’s defenders has nothing to do with his race, and a lot with the horrible spectacle of people who should know better just ignoring his long record of abuse, harassment and intimidation. And while they’re not my stories to tell in this forum, I also have reasons not to share Turia et. al.’s trust that Brown’s really changed his ways
Although, I said before ',why not? Tariana in the National Party has given her all. She is an expert in how to deal with tis Govt.She’s out there.
She knows social media is winning. Plus, don’t think it may be good she left Labour. Labour are pretty conservative. Paranoia ,not so much but, they read their emails. Little me gets to talk to them., to reason and at least have one on one conversation. have that with NZ first too but that’s a whole other storyYour opinion (as much as I value it) is just one and democracy should dictate . It has. Take a number
The guy is damaged. We know that. I’d like to know more personally but I don’t. Someone thinks he can have his kid back. I gotta agreee, that’s a biggie -

I will happily argue that George RR Martin’s treatment of rape and violence against women in A Song of Ice and Fire is ghastly on so many levels (and the television adaptation is even worse) *, but I’d never say that is a reason to bar him from entering New Zealand.

Hard News: About Chris Brown, in reply to Danielle,
Maybe I’m terribly wrong. But here I am with my line, my not-so-secure judgement call. Maybe I’ll change it one day? I’ll have to keep thinking, and reading, and re-deciding.
All good Danielle . I'm glad you are prepared to look at yourself. I enjoy that challenge all the time. My other teaches me that. Go girl. You too Rosemary.
PS. Cheers everyone on PAS. -
Hard News: About Chris Brown, in reply to Musonda,
Turia’s support is reflexive because there is undoubtedly a racial element here. There is just never this level of vitriol when a white person with priors tries to visit (that I recall anyway).
And why not?Tariana is a rebel. I listened to her defiant interview with Kim Hill . The Maori Party have given their all. She is now an expert as to how to deal with Government, And why fucking not? Call to task . I have noticed that the best way to call National out is social media. She now can put the stick in. As Key said in 2009 ish, "bit 'o'stick"
Now he gets to see how Maori do it. I'mm kinda liking her stoopid behaviour. Shit costs -
Hard News: About Chris Brown, in reply to izogi,
That was a strange interview. Kim Hill grilled her on due diligence and really just showed that Tariana Turia didn’t have a clue about the ongoing record. First she was claiming they’d done some investigation and believed claims had been made up, then when Kim Hill started listing incidents, she claimed she didn’t know anything about it, but it didn't matter anyway
Sounds like any John Key interview. The tactics are the same. " I don't know about that but what I do know about is...."

Hard News: A cog in the Mediaworks machine, in reply to Alfie,
How incestuous can they get? And what's next... sifting through Mark Wheldon's underwear drawer? FFS.
I'd like to think that snout will continue to try scrape a miniature barrel with nobody interested but lackeys, because of her despicable, dishonest treatment of Amanda Bailey. The bitch deserves nothing.

Should someone busted for a joint or shoplifting in the 1980s still have trouble travelling or getting a job?
Although I'm not B Jones, I think we should be allowed to make a mistake and be given a clean slate. Especially when I disagree that marijuana is bad for me. Also where the same law may have more harsh penalties in other countries, the clean slate really helps when travelling through. Plus charges can change in our Country, such as drugs possession is quantified now, with an acceptance of some being only a fine. Yeah I'm glad for the clean slate.
interesting B jones says it doesn't help in other Countries. I'm surprised.
