Truth In Advertising

Truth In Advertising

There are two advertisements running on New Zealand television that break the normal and actually demonstrate facts, albeit accidentally.

Congratulations must first go to MacDonalds who, with their advertisement for a larger burger (I think called a grand mc mac) graphically demonstrate the true nature of so many older maori, particularly sheilas i.e. greedy, grasping and totally selfish.

The second is for New Zealand Police and is boasting at how they are too busy pulling over responsible and safe drivers for very minor infractions to be able to police the absolute nutters causing major accidents and deaths on New Zealand roads.

I congratulate both these organisation, truth is so unusual nowdays.

What I want - A List

WHAT I WANT

 

Since the demise of the scumbag many commentators have started listing what they think should be the future direction of New Zealand.

 

This is my (incomplete) list:

 

Government: A second level of representation in the House.

This second level should have one purpose, to review all legislation passed by Parliament and, if they vote so, delay that legislation until the next general election.

This group should be elected by nett tax-paying individual citizens only, it being those who supply the money needed to enact legislation.

Local Government: Councils MUST be made to address core services (roads, sewerage, water, general street cleaning and maintenance, parks (but not recreation) etc.) only. All other services (electricity, airports, ports, museums etc.) should be contracted out. Councils to be made to divest themselves of all assetts that fall outside the description of "core services" within ten years. Any council holding such assetts or investments are, in fact, thieving from their rate-payers in that that money should be used for core services before taxes (rates) are levied

Racism: Racism should be permitted as individual expression BUT no person performing any form of genuine racism should receive any taxpayer money or assett.

Denying part of your heritage or claiming only part of your lineage as your race (eg, a person with one caucasion, one black parent claiming they are black) should be added to the definition of racist for legal purposes.

Elections : Recall elections, national, electorate or local should be forced by a petition (vetted) of 15% of the electorate.

Law Enforcement: An immediate return to innocent-until-proven-guilty and the banning of any instant fine not agreed upon by the miscreant.

This should be accompanied by a policy of not prosecuting mistakes and genuine accidents. (NOTE: This should offset the extra court time needed with the abandonment of instant fines.)

Any question around whether a mistake, accident or a deliberate act to be decided, at the State's cost if found to be not deliberate, by a senior judge at the earliest possible convenience.

Law: All laws needing interpretation should be interpreted with the assistance of the writer of that law, that writer's interpretation to be paramount.

Any judge attempting to make law or comment on law should be imprisoned (general population of that prison only).

Traffic law and enforcement: All traffic laws to be based solely on safety and enforcement personnel to be instructed that driver stops to be made only for safety reasons. Prosecuters will need to prove a driver's actions were unsafe to others (or other's property) to proceed with prosecutions.

This measure must not prevent stops for crime prevention, criminal detection or arrest or for an enforcement officer to offer friendly advice on driver behaviour.

Getting What You Signed Up For

 There is a story on the front page of NewstalkZB this morning about a family of Seppos resident in Nelson.

They're complaining that their mortgage has gone up.

To put things in perspective they almost certainly voted O'Bama, Clinton and then Biden. If they voted in NZ they would have voted communist (Green or Labour).

They purchased a house two years ago in Nelson, one of the highest house-price areas in the country. Purchased at the height of housing prices in New Zealand.

They took out a mortgage loan of $1,000,000. at the then historically low interest rates. They took a one-year fixed mortgage - twice.

Anyone with a brain would have noted the chance of interest rates increasing and locked in a reasonable rate for at least three to five years.

Now, thanks to the things they supported creating serious inflation, they are being asked to pay current market rates which are considerably higher.

A large part of their complaint is that the bank(s) are commercial operations needing to make their shareholders money, are taking a profit.

Based on their argument their folly should be paid for by someone else.

It will be a good day for New Zealand when these people and all their co-fuckwits go back where they come from.

They certainly add nothing to this country!

Morals in civilised society.

Morals in civilised society.

You may not kill anyone - except if it is someone outside your group who the group disagrees with, or someone not yet born or (increasingly) someone getting too old or too sick.

You must respect the traditional family, although the "traditional family" doesn't and hasn't ever really existed except in rare cases. In most cases the "family" split up very quickly with children going to pay debt or simply because the family couldn't support them.

Sex should be only for procreation but, in fact, that has never been the case even when Ringo Starr was a caveman.

Sexual partnerships should be between a man and a woman - despite different partnerships being present throughout history even if we disclude Caligua and his horse.

Free speech and honesty must be encouraged except where that free speech carries with it responsibility , then it must be legislated against - and of course when the question asked is "Does my bum look big in this?".

Soccer WC

 I notice Japan defeated Germany in the soccer World Cup.

Maybe the German team should spend more energy on playing soccer and less on virtue signalling.

Roast Beef and Mexican Hot Sauce

 I was given a selection of hot sauces for a birthday. In them was one that was too hot for me. It was so hot that I couldn't taste the sauce and so it failed to enhance the taste of the food.

I hate waste so I put it aside.

I cook roast beef in a bag in the air-roaster after spicing (dry marinade) it for 48 hours. I cook the meat to med-rare and then remove it from the bag and blast the meat for about 5 minutes a side with the hottest air possible to dry the exterior which helps with carving.

I need the spiciness because I have a problem getting food from my mouth to my throat. Spices help.

This means the juices from the meat are unsuitable for gravy (at least to my taste) and I need to reach for the Bisto.

The first time I did this after giving up on the hot-sauce I, for no real reason, included a slug of the disguarded hot-sauce along with plenty of freshly ground black pepper in the gravy.

It was bloody brilliant!

Since then I have included the hot-sauce with the mustard in sandwiches and the mustard on bread with bbq'd sausages.

Excellent!

Don't throw out stuff you don't like until you've tried it with food you do, even if in a different way.

Vapid Vape View

 I have returned - mainly because of the utter stupidity being spouted and written around Godzone.

There is a fellow on NewstalkZB mornings (I understand, I've never listened to the fellow) called MacDonald.

I've occasionally read some of his stuff and have concluded that he's probably employed to make Hosking look good. If so he deserves a raise.

Today he's opining about a suburban dairy with a vape-shop section.

He and some busy-body local (Naturally a "miss") are against it.

MacDonald's main complaint is the dairy is just down the road from a school.

This is a New Zealand city - every-bloody-where is "just down the road from a school.

Secondary complaints are the shopkeeper is selling chocolates, sweets and ice-creams to the vapers and the separated vape section has no external door.

Note there is no suggestion vape equipment is being sold to children.

Mr MacDonald is complaining for complaining's sake, he should be ignored.

Disclaimer: I don't smoke, have never "vaped" and admit to wondering if those puffing on the vape devices do so in order to look like the utter wankers they, when you meet them, so obviously are.
