   Seems to me the kids are more at risk of the driver taking his hands off the wheel to masturbate.

     Or fiddle with them, mind you they’d have to get past so many teachers also trying to do the same thing first.

   Well its just as planned in 1969. To control the population, they would have to remove certain books from circulation. And one of these books is a book that gives a different perspective on climate change. That book is no longer in the library. Its a book which disagrees with what the Greens are saying in a very convincing way. Just before election, a Green MP agreed with me that the ETS doesn’t help the environment, and then she went on with her new plan.

   My arguement was all based on the book I had read. So it looks like they’re going to knock on my door and confiscate it. Because banning someone reading books is the same sort of thing. The book I’m referring to shows that the elite’s ideas are responsible for environmental degradation, and going back to the origninal US constitution’s taxes, and only those taxes, would in itself fix the environment. The US constitution’s taxes are not as bad as the taxes we have now. So maybe I’ll need a gun sooner then I thought.

   The West has gone nuts – I’ll raise you this –

   IMHO the best paragraphs in the article:

   In November 2014, the Swedish government estimated between 250 and 300 of its citizens have traveled to Syria and Iraq to join ISIS.

   Just two months ago, Sweden’s national job agency fired all of its own contracted “immigrant resettlement assistants” because they were recruiting fighters for ISIS.

   I am currently teaching my child when it is and is not appropriate to give someone the middle finger.

   This, most certainly, is one of those times.

   I suspect this has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with petty totalitarianism. Having attended several school functions recently it’s amazing how often pathetic little teachers give out orders for no reason other than to appease their thirst for power.
   “Stand over there please.” (points two feet to the left)
   “Go the other way around the basketball court, please.” (“please” being used utterly facetiously)
   It seems that the prerequisite these days to become a primary school teacher is that you have to be an ugly, insecure, unmarried, 40something cat lady who has no other means to derive self-worth than to boss around little children.

   Just last week I arrived early to pick up my son. Half way through the building I was confronted by just such a creature.
   “This hallway is no longer open to the public. You need to go back the way you came and go around the side of the building. You can get to the reception that way.”
   I looked at her, and looked at the reception lady fifteen feet down the hall.
   “Next time, for sure”, I replied sarcastically, and marched straight past her.

   And it gets worse. In Canada’s capital, we have this enforced response to threats:
   “After having been given (last week) the go ahead with the Draw Muhammed Day on Parliament Hill for tomorrow, 20th of May, by the RCMP security people, I have just received a phone call (at 5:25 pm) from Canadian Heritage cancelling the event due to ‘security concerns’.”

     They should just turn up anyway. Start drawing on the street if they have to.

     As Steyn put it. “Security concerns” is the new “shut up”.

     It should be made standard practice that if the state decides to ban a public assembly due to “security concerns” then the brave people of that state should defiantly assemble at the closest street location to the original venue and stage the event without authorisation if need be.

     It seems we have an army of security analysts and multibillion dollar police states in place, and all it takes for society to be cowed is for a 14 year old muslim to call in a bomb threat.

   Pascal, this is just BS customer service nonsense. If they want to cancel something, they just look for any excuse, any way to weasel out of their promises. Want to give them a nightmare. Make sure you pay as early as possible. And then if they cancel it, demand your money back. Imagine if 100,000 people did this, asking for their money back.

   Anyhow, I don’t know if that specific situation involves money, but if it did, that’s a ploy you can use, if just enough people will try it.

     I like your thinking. I agree. The most troublesome aspect though is the last phrase of your last sentence. Like expecting geldings to be fruitful.

       Well Pascal, 87% of Americans hate Washington D.C. and they have guns, to back up their words. But yes NZers are very complacent, about these things, maybe cause they don’t have guns.

         I suspect it’s for the same reason most Australians are complacent.

         Things are still too easy over here.

   Exactly, Here in NZ we’re so used to the government solving all our problems. In the USA its always been the opposite approach. While we expect the government to solve all our problems, not much is going to happen. And I see Australia as closer to New Zealand in dependency then the USA, which means most Australians are going to be complacent until and unless it gets really, really, really bad.

     In each nation there exists separate people divided not by borders but by lifestyles.

     It’s been over half a decade now since I left the hives and moved my family to the country. It was a struggle at first but we never looked back.

     Country people (I suspect) are much the same the world over. Being out in the sticks removes the vast majority of your problems these days.

     It’s the closest to freedom we’re going to get until the system collapses from within or is destroyed from without.

       Yup,even moving to a small town is better than living in a large hell hole like LA or NYC.

       Knock on wood I have yet to have one of these as a neighbor-

         When my dad had missionary work in Hawaii, their were only a few people in Hawaii. I’ve noticed a difference between living in Hawaii vs living in Auckland City. The people in Hawaii had more time for people. And they had more time to think of what they were doing and what was going to happen.

         Here in Auckland, most people don’t have time to think of what is going on in regards to elitist oppression. They have no idea in the world, and they’re so busy with what life throws at them. Their are a few exceptions, but I think you get the point.
