The facts come to light. All lies

1 comment August 17th, 2005

When the Brazilian was shot and killed on 22nd July, the London police informed the world that he was a terrorist suspect, wearing a bulky jacket, acting suspicious, and ran away from police once challenged.

We learn now that it's all lies. All of it. Everything that the London police told us was a LIE.

Philosophy of Libertarianz

2 comments August 16th, 2005

Someone posted a comment today over here about where the Libertarianz got the inspiration for their animation from. I've been doing a bit of research, and discovered that the animation was done by a Lux Lucre, who unfortunately died last year. He did it for the author of a book called The Adventures of Jonathon Gullible, written by Ken Schoolland. The entire animation, and subsequently the philosophy behind the NZ Libertarianz Party, is based on an exceprt from the epilogue of the book, which is as follows.

US about to attack Iran?

2 comments August 15th, 2005

You know, on one hand we have America saying they must keep open their options to attack Iran, and that Iran rejected the United Nations nuclear agency urging it to halt the conversion of uranium into gas. On the other hand we have the United Nations "nuclear watchdog is preparing to publish evidence that Iran is not engaged in a nuclear weapons programme, undermining a warning of possible military action from President George Bush."

And over here we have "tests by the UN nuclear watchdog appear to confirm that traces of weapons-grade uranium found in Iran came from abroad, reinforcing Tehran's assertion it does not seek atomic weapons, a diplomat said."

Injustice

2 comments August 14th, 2005

One of my greatest frustrations in life is observing injustice. It frustrates me to see people hurting others, and other people allowing themselves to be hurt. I feel that the older I get the more compassionate I become. I care now more than I did years ago.

The issue I have with this newfound compassion is that it seems to disregard a very basic belief I have, that we are all here because we choose to be; that we chose our lives, and all the experiences within it, good and bad, for what those experiences would teach us.

Seek and ye shall find

Comfort. Stability. Security. These are qualities that I have in my relationship with Deidre. Coincidentally, these are qualities that I've never had in any other relationship in my entire life. Each relationship, until now, had doubt, anxiety, uncertainty, as their qualities. Ah, how times have changed.

"Seek and ye shall find."

I've been seeking, and lo! I have found. There's this underlying belief that this woman is the one I'll spend the rest of my life with. For as long as that might be.

I believe it's called 'commitment', and I don't think I've ever had it to this extent before. Ever.

The law overrules media freedom

1 comment August 12th, 2005

Yesterday a court ruling was made that forced a NZ TV station to have two political party leaders on a televised debate. The 6 highest-polling party leaders were invited onto a political debate for the upcoming election, and two political leaders who weren't invited, because they weren't up there with the polling figures, went to court in order to force the TV station to let them into the debate. In a matter of hours, the court ruled in their favour, forcing the TV station to allow them onto the debate.

Multiculturalism

Back in very late 2003 - or was it very early 2004? Somewhere around there - I was seeing Jhen Jhen, a Chinese girl. On this one particular day, we went up the cable car to the top of the mountain. Now, strangely enough, when we got onto the cable car, we were the only two people on it. Apart from the driver. So there we were, waiting for the car to go, when another two people got onto the car.
