LOL!

Swimming nappies are compulsory at the only public pool I've been to in several years. I know this because I went to the pool with my small nephew....who was wearing one.

I'm toilet-trained, you understand.

Right?

If Skynet wiped out the world with nukes, wouldn't it also wipe out majority of the internet servers/computers etc, thus shooting itself in the foot?

I hate to steal from Sideswipe but since they steal to begin with I won't feel too guilty. And I do like Boris Johnson. He makes me laugh.

Quote:

A soundbite from the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has been voted the funniest British political quote of the past 50 years. Asked by schoolchildren whether he would like to be prime minister, Johnson replied: "I have as much chance of becoming prime minister as being decapitated by a frisbee or of finding Elvis." The nationwide poll of 2587 people was commissioned by UKTV History. Johnson also made the sixth most amusing quote with: "Yes, cannabis is dangerous, but no more than other perfectly legal drugs. It's time for a rethink, and the Tory party - the funkiest, most jiving party on Earth - is where it's happening."

You have to imagine it being said in his voice.

That would be a good game. Having played against Jonas once and been completely and utterly outclassed, and also played against Faz (and also had the floor wiped with the corpses of my soldiers), I've seen the skill both have.

This economist is gonna get raped.

Quote:

Economist Greg Clydesdale, of Massey University's management and international business department, warns that Polynesians display "significant and enduring under-achievement" - a problem immigration is making worse.

However, community leaders and Pacific Island Affairs Minister Winnie Laban strongly reject the underclass claims and condemn the study as "lazy and unprofessional".

The document, part of a three year-study called Growing Pains, Evaluations and the Cost of Human Capital, is based on government data from the Economic Development Ministry, Labour Department and Pacific Island Affairs Ministry. It includes a study of the effects of all immigrants on the economy and will be presented at a conference in Brazil in July.

Issued last week, the document says Polynesians are less productive and less likely to contribute to economic growth. They have the highest unemployment in every age group, are less likely to start businesses and have lower rates of self-employment.

Polynesians are over-represented in crime statistics and have higher rates of convictions and prosecutions.

They are also more likely to be victims of violent crime. They are more likely to need Government assistance for housing and income.

"Of particular concern is the large Polynesian subculture whose educational achievements mean they will contribute very poorly in this regard," Dr Clydesdale says.

"And because of high fertility and current immigration levels, New Zealand will have a significant population that can contribute little to economic growth."

Dr Clydesdale also claims Pacific Island children show low achievement in literacy on entering school and perform poorly throughout their education.

"People are going to call me racist for putting this out. But I'm not," he said. "It's scary. New Zealand's future growth depends on its ability to create new products and production processes. We're going to have a large proportion of the population without the educational requirements to create that."

He's just drawing trends in statistics. Perhaps he is guilty of misrepresenting the data to his own viewpoint. The leftist colonialism/imperialism argument doesn't really apply in the same way it does when compiling statistics on Maori's, as the Polynesians are visitors to the country in the wake of colonialism.

Good on this guy for taking a stand, but he'll inevitably get pelted with stones for doing so.

If his conclusion from the data is that we shouldn't let Polynesian immigrants into NZ - then yes he is asking for a fudge packing.
If he is suggesting that a greater investment into the education/training/welfare of Polynesian immigrants is vital for NZ's future economic development - then no anal action for him.
