Perhaps I'm not aware, or perhaps you may not be aware enough to consider being aware that I may be very well aware.

The issue I'm taking there, Lightspeed, is that you seem to not be able to entertain the idea that perhaps my "limited perceptions" as you call them, have not all been shaped by "watching the telly"...
Furthermore, I should have perhaps expanded upon my previous reference to "People" to in fact say "An illinformed subset of individuals", but regardles, I don't think I have said anywhere that there are not valid concerns. |

Oh, I see.
I concede, it wasn't clear to me that you were jerking yourself off over this subset of apparently stupid people doing their best to engage in a serious social and political issue. You know, rather than trying to get a handle on what these valid concerns that might exist that could impact how we get to live our lives. I get it, this kind of stuff is hard, much easier and more pleasant to stroke the genitals.

I'm not talking about your life which I know nothing about. I'm talking about in this discussion, right here. Your characterising of protesters in a distorted way. That's what you're offering, in lieu of any of meaningful discussion, the lack of which you seem to resent. That's what I'm talking about. I know you from the text on these pages, nothing more.

p-b I wouldn't bother continuing to engage, those goal posts are on wheels.

You're the one inventing goal posts. I wasn't the one trying to cling to ego ideals, "awww, but in the real world I'm a decent guy, it's only on the internets I'm a pathetic cunt... lolz, what about dem dumb protesters".

If we are talking goalposts however, how is what I am having p-b up about not entirely coherent with this earlier post of mine:

Since when have you been afraid of the truth, CCS? lolz
I'm saying the same thing I've been saying the whole thread. That the mischaracterisation of the attitudes and beliefs of TPP protesters is bullshit.

Two things LS has never done:
1. Highlighted the inadequacies of an argument he disagree with. 2. Painted a large group of people with the same brush. |

To be perfectly honest though, I have serious reservations about the legitimacy of representative democracy as a fair method of government at all. In my view, it concentrates far too much power in far too few hands. |

"multinationals bad"
"unions and churches good" Thanks for the insight Bernie! |

Watched the first 2 minutes, skimmed through the rest. Sounded like old fashioned protectionism.

If it was a secret deal... how does Hayley know about it?
Stick to what you're good at, Hayley.

However, Australia has signed up to such an agreement, and their government is currently being sued by Philip Morris International for passing laws requiring cigarette packets to be labelled with health warnings.

Anyway. Every one of the 3164 international treaties signed by NZ so far places limits on our sovereignty. Each one of them is an agreement with a non-NZ entity to do or not do certain things. |

Extra-judicially as in suing our government in a process that does not in any way involve New Zealand's own judiciary.
It's one thing to have an agreement that says we can or cannot do specific things. It's another thing entirely to have an agreement which gives power to a foreign tribunal to pass rulings on whether or not our government should have to pay compensation to the tune of billions of dollars for 'loss of future profits' to multinational corporations that have decided that some law or other that we recently passed will hurt their bottom line. |
