  • Hard News: How much speech does it take?,

    If anything, with regards to the linked Peter Robinson works, in the interests of positive cultural development, it wouldn't hurt to draw a line against the effacive stylistic and conceptual looting of Macahon's legacy.

    And, personally speaking, I also think that I have a clear moral right to use whatever I need to make my work. I will fight tooth and nail against any infringement of that right.

    Artist or litigator, that's the question.

    Sure, but still serving time.

    PS – apologies for the multi-post blurt: I only get limited windows of opportunity to read and post per 24-hour cycle.

    When’s the parole hearing?

    I’m curious as to why the judges haven’t taken the police to task for wasting the courts’ time.

    They're APN News & Media Limited shareholders.

    I’m realistic about the Herald’s need to keep up circulation and page views, and I know that “celebrity” coverage is part of any such effort in our day and age. But I would still hope that a paper fond of making grand claims for the role of the press could restrain itself from pimping out its front page like this. And, more so, that it would have the decency to own its own actions thereafter, rather than point furiously in any direction but home. It is, after all, only what we would expect a child to do.

    A loosely sleaved batch of wood product and ink blots personified in the modern human's mind to the extent that it is perceived to have needs and fondness, expected to exercise the disciplines of self- restraint and decency, whilst pimping, furiously, as a child. It almost obscures the fact that it's an inanimate object, produced by a random assortment of the population, attempting accord to thoroughly abstracted guidelines, with the ostensibly singular purpose solely being to generate income.

    Persuasive writing Russell.

    and not 5km a gang house was breaking the law too. Not the issue.

  • Speaker: Towards a realistic drug policy,

    I'm with the ladies. I feel much safer in the CBDs of Auckland or Wellington than I do in Christchurch on a Friday night.

    Same.

    Ever been to Paris?

    Sure, a few times.

    If you're unlucky and policemen in a bad mood, they can ask you 11 to 38 euros of penalty

    I do think a fine is more fitting than arrest for this offence.
