Health Nazis and Vitamin Benign
The human body was not meant to eat bread or cereals in general. We were eating lots of fat and fruit and veggies before agriculture came along and I was quite healthy back then.
The whole food pyramid is a crock and the emphasis on cholesterol is just a way to sell more statins.
And don't get me started on secondhand smoke, grrr.
The United States Department of Agriculture wants you to eat more bread and cakes. Follow the money. Its all a load of Folics. -
I would have thought that, as with intellectual property in the private sector, an employee has no right to anything they create whilst working for their employer.
That said, is not the public the employer of government? and in so being, the owner of the property? -
But what do blind people have?
Spots?
Bloke in pub, to his mate.
"I keep seeing spots in front of my eyes"
His mate says,
"Have ya seen a doctor"
Bloke says,
"Nah mate, only spots" -
The fact that "The Standard" claims that the issiue was Mr. Worths alledged adultery is, really, beside the point. The fact remains that our Prime Minister has taken it upon himself to not inform us of his reason for sacking one of OUR ministers (do you like that Craig? you know, the OUR bit? you know, the possibility that those Ministers of the crown are just as much ours as they are the personal possessions of our dearly beloveds leader? EH? EH? That one who let it be known to the poor souls that voted for him that he would be transparent, you know, see through, glass like in his veiwthroughiness?
like a fishbowl without the spectral aberrations? do you/... do you?)John must fess up, I can't live with this not knowing, I can't I tell you. I just can't.
sob sob sob... -
And have you stopped beating your wife yet, Steve?
No, I am just too competitive at scrabble.
The Standard will get a pass not extended to Farrar or Slater because
Well, just because, eh?.
you don't like their preferred target.
I adore their preferred target. You know, those that care as much for others as they do for themselves.
What goes around comes around, dear.
Its your round.

Sigh ... I give up.
Like I said "I think what we have here is a failure to communicate"I will do what is unprecedented in my posts and reiterate.
"Public interest" as well we know, is oft misunderstood. The way Key used it was, imho, "in the best interest of the public"
So, what was so disruptive to the Nation as a whole in the actions of Mr. Worth?. Was it purely that we, as the public at large, need to have such confidence in our Ministers that their dismissal becomes secondary to our confidence in their leader to the point that we should not question his motives?
The notion that we should not "bother out little heads" about such trivia seems a little demeaning to me and i feel, just a tad, insulted.I'm with Russell on this. It is Key's refusal to explain that is the problem.
I, personally, ask Mr. Key to explain why we should not know why he sacked a minister. If his party is so fragile that the truth will destroy them then we should know. It has gone too far for him to brush us off with platitudes.
It is not about credibility of a blogger, it is abut the credibility of our Prime Minister.
Get that up yer. -
I am literally not afraid of anyone. You’d have to put a gun in my face and even then I’d be working out angles so they wouldn’t do it.
Sound just like... Grant Dexter. Claytons people?.
(As in being human without the humanity) -
Damn, all this time I've been thinking Thomas the Tank Engine and things like Bob the Builder were child pornograpy.
