haha if we call these people names with boring unoriginal satire they will no longer hold their current political beliefs, this will definitely work and they haven't just ignored us in the past

I dunno I guess it depends if you prefer constructive (lol) political dialogue or yelling in to the endless cyber nether. I prefer pornography myself.

You're never going to get constructive political dialogue with someone who's in the youth branch of whatever party they support, but I think everyone has to agree the YoungNats are particularly insufferable, more so than ACT on campus or the young Green people who never bothered to work out how representative democracy is meant to function.

If he he managed to convince you that he'd got all the murder out of his system (not sorry, just not interested in doing it again)would you be happy to let him go?

So are you saying you support mandatory life sentences with no chance of parole for anyone convicted of murder or voluntary manslaughter?

echinopsis posted:

If there isn't enough punishment at all, prison isn't a deterrent. How would you feel about someone committing a crime so that they would be sent to jail, for the benefits that prison provides. If prison is pleasant and nice enough, and the outside world grows ever unappealing, then it stands to reason people would want to do that.

Even if it were 'pleasant and nice enough', the vast, vast majority of people who might even consider committing minor crimes because they want to have their basic means provided for probably are not going to want to be incarcerated with violent offenders, and gang members.

Anyone convicted of a vicious enough assault*, rape or murder should be executed.
Do you believe a six year jail sentence is sufficient for burning someone alive?

Acting like I'm some kind of monster just shows how loving little you care about the actual victims. Yeah, give the perpetrators light sentences, it's not like they really did anything that bad!

* Anything causing serious disability, physical or mental should be legally considered murder

Did you just link an article about the murder of someone wrongfully accused of one of the crimes you consider to be worthy of capital punishment as an example of why capital punishment for serious assault is a good idea?

My girlfriend (who spent 10 years in England and considers herself mostly English) said that she didn't think that the Maori culture should be "forced" on anyone, or that money should be spent on it. This is about a day after we had a discussion about the British Royalty, who she thinks should be kept because of "heritage" and "tradition". She doesn't quite see the irony there, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of actual New Zealanders who share similar views because it's not *their* culture.

How many BNP-lite spinoff group pages does she like on Facebook?

—whether i support/oppose voluntary euthanasia
—whether i'm planning to vote on a change of flag (nothing on which alternative i support)
—rate Winston, Key & Little from 1-5
—bunch of quickfire issues that i had to associate with parties (e.g. "can best manage the welfare system")

but on the downside, now David Farrar knows who I support.

It's okay though, National have tried to sneak in a retrospective amendment to correct the "error", and Anne Tolley says that a day's benefit for a beneficiary is not a significant amount.

Beneficiaries are apparently a massive drain on the hard working kiwi taxpayer, while at the same time thousands of days worth of unpaid benefits are 'not huge amount of money' according to Tolley.

For people who follow these things more closely than I do, has the NZ Labour party ever made any kind of statement about human rights abuses in either the Nauru or Christmas Island detention/processing centres prior to the news that NZ citizens were being detained there? Because Kelvin Davis heading off to Christmas island and then describing it as 'a Kiwi Alcatraz' is some of the biggest crocodile tears bullshit I have seen.

It's pretty loving brilliant the the media has reported on this so terribly that now most of the NZ population apparently thinks Key is game-fully battling to prevent the deportation of rapists and kiddy-fiddlers to New Zealand, while Labour is welcoming them back with open arms. Interesting that Stuff.co.nz today has also elected to publish an article in praise of Dr Warren Farrell, and Erin Pizzey, two prominent anti-Feminist figures who argue that sexual and domestic violence reporting is biased in favour of women.

Despite everything I have said about burgers, I for reals believe that the mcdonald's double cheeseburger is the perfect simple cheeseburger. Its the right amount of fat, meat, and bun. I legit like the kiwiburger as well, along with the big mac, neither of those are even in the same league as better burgers - like motherfucking Ekim burgers - but there is just something about those two burgs I dunno....

This is bullshit because BK double cheese burgers are far superior to Maccas cheeseburgers as 4am drunk food.
