A Long-winded Question - Read At Your Own Peril

About one year ago (it was May, 2023) my taste buds died.

I don't know why, put it down to old age and abuse. Several weeks later I got a mild 'flu that was apparently Covid 19, so it wasn't that.

Taste buds dying was initially a curse I could no longer taste red wine and ice cream "tasted" horrible. Roast beef (cooked my way) no longer was mouth-watering. Cheese, particularly good cheese became ho-hum.

Snack food, (crisps, peanuts etc.), fish and chips, hot dogs etc. became a non-event.

I stopped eating.

I had already lost approximately 20 Kg from "peak Tinman" and was down to ~130 Kg.

A bit of stress, including, but not limited to losing my home and a drug-addled, grasping son taking most of my savings added and my weight dropped rather dramatically. I am now 89Kg. Life ain't always been kind to me.

Not all doom and gloom though. I can drink whisky and beer without hating it (although red wine leaves me cold), I own my own home (a caravan) and if I can sell my HiLux I will be financially viable. I also love where I now live - the Woodend Beach Holiday Park.

Hopefully I'll be here until I die.

But enough of me. I've just watched a video of a typically fat Seppo sheila whinging and stating she is in serious danger as far as her health and well being is concerned because she hasn't had her daily fix of fast food and sweet drinks.

Obviously the sheila wouldn't know hardship if it kicked her in her (very) oversized arse.

The sheila is part of a pro-terrorist protest at a Seppo university.

I presented my recent history (or part of it) to put into perspective my question: How does something like this sheila expect to be taken seriously and why does she not think her blind and absolute stupidity will not follow her the rest of her life when those she starves to support raped and murdered sheilas doing exactly as she is doing, at a "music" festival in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023?

A further question: Why do the relevant authorities not treat the terrorist supporters in the exact same manner Hamas treated Palestinian supporters (and Jews) on that day in October '23?

China. Why the aggro?

 More stories about China and it's military might, this morning in The Sun from UK.

These Chinese must be nasty, greedy people, wanting to take over the World - except I can't remember a single time in Chinese history they've done anything other than defend themselves.

They helped out North Korea and Vietnam against the easy-beat Seppos but even then they simply lent a hand and then moved back whence they had come. (A pity GW didn't learn from them.)

Except for some sabre rattling around Formosa, which is traditionally Chinese, and the odd fist/club fight on the India border the whole history of China is one of non-aggression.

Their main form of influence is spreading money where it can do the best for China and it's trade. Basically creating customers not enemies.

So why the continued anti-China rhetoric from Western pollies?

Is it because too little of that Chinese money has come into Western pollies' hands?

The only seriously wrong thing they have done was, when China, via Taiwanese explorers, transported a bunch of illiterate, nasty, pig-ignorant savages from where they had been kicked out of in the central Pacific to a group of islands that you needed brains (which they didn't have) to produce food - hence promoting cannibalism.

For that they can never be forgiven but, that aside, maybe it's time to give China a break.

Concentrate instead on the Middle East to North Africa to India scum who are openly trying to destroy civilisation and drag humanity backwards.

THEY need stopping!

Don't Ban for Thought Crime.

In 1981 I supported the Springboks tour of New Zealand.

Like the vast majority of New Zealanders I considered apartheid to be senseless but considered providing an example to South Africans a better way of arguing than simply refusing to communicate by banning them.

I would do the same today.

This is why I am becoming more and more concerned when reading of people being banned from our shores for holding views abhorrent to the PC classes.

The most recent being a Seppo god-botherer who doesn't like the capital letters people (among others).

Among those supporting his banning publicly is Farrar from Kiwiblog.

Farrar states among other things that this gentleman has " prayed for Obama and Caitlyn Jenner to die".

He (Anderson, the Seppo) has also called for homosexuals to be executed, denied the holocaust and suggested a shooting of a Seppo gay nightclub was not a bad thing - again according to Farrar.

One thing before I continue: Who or what the f@#$ is Caitlyn Jenner?

I digress!

I note that none of the charges are for inciting or committing violence.

He simply asks for a law change and "prays".

Praying, as most adults know, is mainly limited to the loser class and most often involves a card, six numbers, a horse or a roulette wheel.

It has never had any observable effect on either prayer or the deity to whom the loser is praying.

Obviously the Seppo is not the nicest nor brightest but surely banning him simply reinforces his prejudices while allowing him to come and witness life as New Zealanders (outside of politics and universities) live it may just make him think a little more.

Maybe even rationally.
