Hard News: Bishop Brian: It's worse than…, in reply to Cassandra,
Cheers Andin, may I use that as my default disclaimer from now on?
How can I say no.
What I saw in the footage was people who perceive themselves as powerful interacting with other people who perceive themselves as powerful. Losing insight. Basking in the glow and then some rationalisation afterwards to justify getting so into it. Had a very masculine flavour to it. “laid-back, double-chinned complacency”, where have I seen that before?
Well that’s the sum of spirituality so far. No surprises eh!
if I may delve into future predictions for humanity.
We are all going to have to come to terms with living on a crowded planet. So that may mean we will have to make some compromises collectively.
Whats the pay back? Some manner of individual autonomy?I look forward to it.

Hard News: Bishop Brian: It's worse than…, in reply to B Jones,
a weird echo-ey thing happening with the sound,
Yeah wasn't it cool, as if we could hear god... just fact-checking.
Excuse me for a second but there seems to be a weird synchronicity. You'll need lyrics for that. Just make it to the 3 min mark it won't kill you
Emma's post, politicians making dicks of themselves and a women charged with adultery when it was the men who were married.
Talk about cognitive dissonance on a global scale. I just ask myself.
How the fuck can that happen?
A weird obsession with sex passed down lovingly by our forebears.
Gee, thanks a bunch.
is it possible to live with so much of a variety(yep a euphemism) of thought?
Some seem to think it so, from what I read. I remain unconvinced.
Well there was more I wanted to say but I approached the keyboard glass in hand and all was lost. -
and, if their faces were any signal to their feelings, got hauled in quite some way past their comfort zones.
Yep, Tho' I want to know if Tau saw god, or is he just uncomfortable with being touched by other men? (in a purely non sexual way of course)

Up Front: Respectably-Dressed Sensible…, in reply to B Jones,
Add some chili by discussing things men can do to prevent rape (like thinking again about what constitutes fair pursuit), and you’ve turned boring old chicken soup into tom yum.
Sounds good to me! So Akslutwalk then.
And did you see Campbell Live, extraordinary displays!
The smart one was keeping her mouth shut, letting the men do what men do...... -
Up Front: Respectably-Dressed Sensible…, in reply to Deborah,
That’s a very scary thing to do i.e. to interrogate your own past behaviour.
Is this possible at more than the individual level? And maybe, come up with longer lasting solutions. But it makes me feel as if little has changed, the soup(society) we all swim in produces, with another generation, the same result.

More humour....toothbrush holesmanship done manually.
I dont know why random images about the RWC and johnkey playfully intrude. well for me. -
While your reading that Global thingy on Drugs, a bit of Bill Hicks might help.

Sez the Muzza...
"The acid test is this: ask the Pacific leaders whether they want New Zealand aid dollars to pour into poverty subsidisation programmes that lead nowhere and are top heavy with expensive administrators, or whether they want to prioritise the development of sustainable futures in fisheries, tourism, agriculture and horticulture. In my experience, the response is deafening."
So how was the question asked? Where was this question popped to "Pacific leaders" And what the fuck has your "experience" got to do with it Muzza, didnt you record the results of this survey questionnaire you made of "Pacific leaders".
Oh thats right It was more of an informal quiz couched in terms of..." Its a waste of time just giving those poor people money, they'll just waste it and we'll never be able to track it. So get your mates to set up a company as a front and we'll give it to them. 'nother drink minister?" -
Speaker: Bad Aid: How Murray McCully is…, in reply to 3410,
This undermines their ideology of the primacy of the individual,
Of course they don't mean this to refer to all individuals equally. I believe there is inherently a pecking order, emanating in concentric circles from their earthly bodies.
-
Unfortunately, as the last two and a half years have shown, Murray McCully clearly doesn’t know anything about aid.
So that’s goes on the list of things Murray knows nothing about. Boy am I getting tired of all these nervous nellies who have travelled the safe path risen to positions of power and influence and seem capable of SFA. I bet they cant even change a tyre without help.
Right from the moment he inherited it as part of the Foreign Affairs portfolio he’s set about pulling the old aid programme apart, intent, it seems, on rebuilding it in his own image.
Im trying to imagine that. Self-serving timorous, boot-licking toady with a propensity to kiss up and kick down. But maybe in person he’s a luverly chap.
