water water everywhere....

something rotten in the state of Kiwiland.
the local rag fill of dire warnings about drought and imposing water restrictions and at the same time the parliament is being told that it is not possibble to impose a tax on water exports.
There seems to be a disjunction here that i snot being explained to the people of this country.
Any explanation is wrapped up in double talk that is not possible for the ordinary person to decipher.
Are we masters in our own house or are we not?
That is the question!







This woman is Jennifer Sara from the world bank who is an expert on water.
Maybe we need her to come to New Zealand and sort out the problem of who gets what how and why?

memo to Linda Hallinan...

Sorry Linda but talking about doesn't do a damn thing.
Kiwis love talking.
flapping their fucking gums to no avail except make themselves appear caring knowledgeable or innocent.
People who talk about it are not doing anything except trying to excuse themselves and deflect any suspicion of blame for isolating or traumatising their own children.
Or making a living by purporting to know something they dont.
Suicides are killers who cannot kill the one they love so they have to kill themselves.
Until this fact is realised and steps are taken to investigate child rearing practice in New Zealand then the breastbeaters are going to have a field day.
Kids who kill themselves have been USED till there is nothing left.
GET IT?

dunnycan f*cking garner, mark f*cking reason and tom f*cking scott...

looks like I am on the wrong side of this argument if yoou read the press.
they all busy telling us how to behave and indulging in faux outrage because someone has told them to fuck off.
the only on who got it right was mark f*cking reason.
if Michael Cheika is a bit loose with his tongue then so be it.
but the IRB has the remedy.
forget cheika.
he is a loud mouthed oaf of that there is no doubt but t the same time who is anyone esle to tell him what to do if he has not broken the law or the protocols of his sport.
there are remedies so I wish the meedja would stop whining.

Jurgen Habermass tells it like it is...

“For the normative self-understanding of modernity, Christianity has functioned as more than just a precursor or catalyst. Universalistic egalitarianism, from which sprang the ideals of freedom and a collective life in solidarity, the autonomous conduct of life and emancipation, the individual morality of conscience, human rights and democracy, is the direct legacy of the Judaic ethic of justice and the Christian ethic of love. This legacy, substantially unchanged, has been the object of a continual critical reappropriation and reinterpretation. Up to this very day there is no alternative to it. And in light of the current challenges of a post-national constellation, we must draw sustenance now, as in the past, from this substance. Everything else is idle postmodern talk.”

the real deal on tourettes, profanity,micahel cheika and tom scott...

Michael Cheika you are my man.
A good profane man.
Profanity use to mean lack of respect for the sacred but has now come to mean anything that anyone else objects to or if you are a cheap cartooning hack for a daily rag it becomes tourettes syndrome.
Check out wikipedia for this definition:

Tourette's was classified by the fourth version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) as one of several tic disorders "usually first diagnosed in infancy, childhood, or adolescence" according to type (motor or phonic tics) and duration (transient or chronic). Transient tic disorders consisted of multiple motor tics, phonic tics or both, with a duration between four weeks and twelve months. Chronic tic disorder was either single or multiple, motor or phonic tics (but not both), which were present for more than a year.[7] Tourette's is diagnosed when multiple motor tics, and at least one phonic tic, are present for more than a year.[8] The fifth version of the DSM (DSM-5), published in May 2013, reclassified Tourette's and tic disorders as motor disorders listed in the neurodevelopmental disorder category, and replaced transient tic disorder with provisional tic disorder, but made few other significant changes.[9][10][11]
Tic disorders are defined only slightly differently by the World Health Organization International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, ICD-10; code F95.2 is for combined vocal and multiple motor tic disorder [de la Tourette].[12]
Although Tourette's is the more severe expression of the spectrum of tic disorders,[13] most cases are mild.[3] The severity of symptoms varies widely among people with Tourette's, and mild cases may be undetected.[7]

Characteristics

Examples of motor tics
Tics are movements or sounds "that occur intermittently and unpredictably out of a background of normal motor activity",[14] having the appearance of "normal behaviors gone wrong".[15] The tics associated with Tourette's change in number, frequency, severity and anatomical location. Waxing and waning—the ongoing increase and decrease in severity and frequency of tics—occurs differently in each individual. Tics may also occur in "bouts of bouts", which vary for each person.[7]
Coprolalia (the spontaneous utterance of socially objectionable or taboo words or phrases) is the most publicized symptom of Tourette's, but it is not required for a diagnosis of Tourette's and only about 10% of Tourette's patients exhibit it.[2] Echolalia (repeating the words of others) and palilalia (repeating one's own words) occur in a minority of cases,[7] while the most common initial motor and vocal tics are, respectively, eye blinking and throat clearing.[16]
In contrast to the abnormal movements of other movement disorders (for example, choreas, dystonias, myoclonus, and dyskinesias), the tics of Tourette's are temporarily suppressible, nonrhythmic, and often preceded by an unwanted premonitory urge.[17] Immediately preceding tic onset, most individuals with Tourette's are aware of an urge,[18][19] similar to the need to sneeze or scratch an itch. Individuals describe the need to tic as a buildup of tension, pressure, or energy[19][20] which they consciously choose to release, as if they "had to do it"[21] to relieve the sensation[19] or until it feels "just right".[21][22] Examples of the premonitory urge are the feeling of having something in one's throat, or a localized discomfort in the shoulders, leading to the need to clear one's throat or shrug the shoulders. The actual tic may be felt as relieving this tension or sensation, similar to scratching an itch. Another example is blinking to relieve an uncomfortable sensation in the eye. These urges and sensations, preceding the expression of the movement or vocalization as a tic, are referred to as "premonitory sensory phenomena" or premonitory urges. Because of the urges that precede them, tics are described as semi-voluntary or "unvoluntary",[14] rather than specifically involuntary; they may be experienced as a voluntary, suppressible response to the unwanted premonitory urge.[2] Published descriptions of the tics of Tourette's identify sensory phenomena as the core symptom of the syndrome, even though they are not included in the diagnostic criteria.[20][23][24]
While individuals with tics are sometimes able to suppress their tics for limited periods of time, doing so often results in tension or mental exhaustion.[2][6] People with Tourette's may seek a secluded spot to release their symptoms, or there may be a marked increase in tics after a period of suppression at school or at work.[15] Some people with Tourette's may not be aware of the premonitory urge. Children may be less aware of the premonitory urge associated with tics than are adults, but their awareness tends to increase with maturity.[14] They may have tics for several years before becoming aware of premonitory urges. Children may suppress tics while in the doctor's office, so they may need to be observed while they are not aware they are being watched.[25] The ability to suppress tics varies among individuals, and may be more developed in adults than children.
Although there is no such thing as a "typical" case of Tourette syndrome,[26] the condition follows a fairly reliable course in terms of the age of onset and the history of the severity of symptoms. Tics may appear up to the age of eighteen, but the most typical age of onset is from five to seven.[7] A 1998 study published by Leckman and colleagues from the Yale Child Study Center[27] showed that the ages of highest tic severity are eight to twelve (average ten), with tics steadily declining for most patients as they pass through adolescence.[22] The most common, first-presenting tics are eye blinking, facial movements, sniffing and throat clearing. Initial tics present most frequently in midline body regions where there are many muscles, usually the head, neck and facial region.[26] This can be contrasted with the stereotyped movements of other disorders (such as stims and stereotypies of the autism spectrum disorders), which typically have an earlier age of onset, are more symmetrical, rhythmical and bilateral, and involve the extremities (e.g., flapping the hands).[28] Tics that appear early in the course of the condition are frequently confused with other conditions, such as allergies, asthma, and vision problems: pediatricians, allergists and ophthalmologists are typically the first to see a child with tics.[7]
Most cases of Tourette's in older individuals are mild and almost unrecognizable.[29] When symptoms are severe enough to warrant referral to clinics, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are often associated with Tourette's.[22] In children with tics, the additional presence of ADHD is associated with functional impairment, disruptive behavior, and tic severity.[30] Compulsions resembling tics are present in some individuals with OCD; "tic-related OCD" is hypothesized to be a subgroup of OCD, distinguished from non-tic related OCD by the type and nature of obsessions and compulsions.[31] Not all persons with Tourette's have ADHD or OCD or other comorbid conditions, although in clinical populations, a high percentage of patients presenting for care do have ADHD.[22][32] One author reports that a ten-year overview of patient records revealed about 40% of patients with Tourette's have "TS-only" or "pure TS", referring to Tourette syndrome in the absence of ADHD, OCD and other disorders.[33][34] Another author reports that 57% of 656 patients presenting with tic disorders had uncomplicated tics, while 43% had tics plus comorbid conditions.[15] People with "full-blown Tourette's" have significant comorbid conditions in addition to tics.[15]

Causes

The exact cause of Tourette's is unknown, but it is well established that both genetic and environmental factors are involved.[35] Genetic epidemiology studies have shown that the overwhelming majority of cases of Tourette's are inherited, although the exact mode of inheritance is not yet known and no gene has been identified.[6][36][37] In other cases, tics are associated with disorders other than Tourette's, a phenomenon known as tourettism.[38]
A person with Tourette's has about a 50% chance of passing the gene(s) to one of his or her children, but Tourette's is a condition of variable expression and incomplete penetrance.[39] Thus, not everyone who inherits the genetic vulnerability will show symptoms; even close family members may show different severities of symptoms, or no symptoms at all. The gene(s) may express as Tourette's, as a milder tic disorder (provisional or chronic tics), or as obsessive–compulsive symptoms without tics. Only a minority of the children who inherit the gene(s) have symptoms severe enough to require medical attention.[40] Gender appears to have a role in the expression of the genetic vulnerability: males are more likely than females to express tics.[25]
Non-genetic, environmental, post-infectious, or psychosocial factors—while not causing Tourette's—can influence its severity.[26] Autoimmune processes may affect tic onset and exacerbation in some cases. In 1998, a team at the US National Institute of Mental Health proposed a hypothesis based on observation of 50 children that both obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) and tic disorders may arise in a subset of children as a result of a poststreptococcal autoimmune process.[3] Children who meet five diagnostic criteria are classified, according to the hypothesis, as having Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections (PANDAS).[41] This contentious hypothesis is the focus of clinical and laboratory research, but remains unproven.[2][3][42]
Some forms of OCD may be genetically linked to Tourette's.[22][43] A subset of OCD is thought to be causally related to Tourette's and may be a different expression of the same factors that are important for the expression of tics.[44] The genetic relationship of ADHD to Tourette syndrome, however, has not been fully established.[34]

Pathophysiology

The basal ganglia are at the brain's center; related nearby structures are the globus pallides, thalamus, substantia nigra, and cerebellum.
Brain structures implicated in Tourette syndrome
The exact mechanism affecting the inherited vulnerability to Tourette's has not been established, and the precise cause is unknown. Tics are believed to result from dysfunction in cortical and subcortical regions, the thalamus, basal ganglia and frontal cortex.[35] Neuroanatomic models implicate failures in circuits connecting the brain's cortex and subcortex,[26] and imaging techniques implicate the basal ganglia and frontal cortex.[36] After 2010, the central role of histamine and the H3-receptor came into focus in the pathophysiology of Tourette syndrome.[45][46][47] Also the striatum is involved because histamine and the H3-receptor are "key modulators of striatal circuitry".[48][49] Studies suggest that a reduced level of histamine in the H3-receptor is an important link in the neurological chain of Tourette syndrome because it disrupts the working of other neurotransmitters, which causes the tics.[46][50][47]

. thus tourettes becomes a handy label for anyone who wants to say fuck you.
In essence a tic is a repressed wish to masturbate and tourettes is obviously a trauma sustained in infancy  from excessive sexual stimulation by parents siblings or caregivers that is repressed and when the unconscious breaks through into reality then it manifest itself  in ways that are not acceptable to mainstream society especially if it involves obscene or rude language.
There is no evidence that Michael Cheika exhibits any tic or uncontrollable outburts of language with excessive sexual content beyond that used by any bloke who is really pissed off.
The wallabies are a bit wobbily at the moment and I dont blame him from swearing and good on him.
There are too many twerps like Scott who want to tie down all of society into this neat little hierarchy of civil, servile,forelock tuggimg proles and I am glad that Michael Cheika has got up his nose.
You see Scott has used a specialist definition to cast a slur.
Scott once got his ticket punched at a bohemian soiree on the Terrace in Wellington in the late 1960's and now has an abiding hatred of Jimi Hendrix, { tuff titty, suck it up} and has written books on the supposed malevolent effects of DRUGZ in all of society without ever troubling himself to find out why people take  drugs in the first place.
Opiate users want to commit suicide slowly
Alchoholics are using alchohol as a defense against paranoia which in itself is a defence against passive unconscious homosexuality.
LSD,  amphetamines and cannoboids are used to give th euser the illusion tha tthey can control their own depression. which of course they cannot in the long run.

As Freud says all exhibitionistic acts are accompanied by a wish for reciprocation and while the pill rollers and the gene crunchers say they can cure it or are going to find a cure for it shortly tourettes is an affliction of behaviour that is caused by behaviour and will always be resistant to chemical treatment or gene manipulation.
IN the meantime Michael Cheika tell them all to blow it out their arses and fuck em all with a rag dick.

I've heard you say many times
That you're better than no one
And no one is better than you
If you really believe that
You know you have
Nothing to win and nothing to lose
From fixtures and forces and friends
Your sorrow does stem
That hype you and type you
Making you feel
That you gotta be exactly like them

life in the fast lane...

first things first.
If you are in pain do NOT go to the Greytown Pharmacy.
They would not sell me any panadeine because I did not have photo id.
what sort of society is this when you have to walk around with proof of being your self.
second, what sort of immature people are these who would rather live by the RULES instead of tending to their duty.
The Pharmacy Guild, were not much better. They suggested I apply for an 18+ card.
well fuck you.
I dont drink booze.
I have a gold card and that should be sufficient.
It seems like it is easier to obtain blackmarket drugs than legal these days.

anyway. It was J&K's 60th wedding anniversary today and J bought along a plate of her delicious sponge drops for morning tea after our Thursday oldies service.
They were married on this very day in this church.
Jenny L said to me afterwards she has been married for 57 years and her husband says you get less than that for murder. hehehehe

Ralph Linton
Pity about Ralph.

"

Work

The Study of Man established Linton as one of anthropology's premier theorists, particularly amongst sociologists who worked outside of the Boasian mainstream. In this work he developed the concepts of status and role for describing the patterns of behavior in society. According to Linton, ascribed status is assigned to an individual without reference to their innate differences or abilities. Whereas Achieved status is determined by an individual's performance or effort. Linton noted that while the definitions of the two concepts are clear and distinct, it is not always easy to identify whether an individual's status is ascribed or achieved. His perspective offers a deviation from the view that ascribed statuses are always fixed. For Linton a role is the set of behaviors associated with a status, and performing the role by doing the associated behaviors is the way in which a status is inhabited.
Throughout this early period Linton became interested in the problem of acculturation, working with Robert Redfield and Melville Herskovits on a prestigious Social Science Research Council subcommittee of the Committee on Personality and Culture. The result was a seminal jointly-authored piece entitled Memorandum for the Study of Acculturation (1936). Linton also obtained money from the Works Progress Administration for students to produce work which studied acculturation. The volume Acculturation in Seven American Indian Tribes is an example of the work in this period, and Linton's contributions to the volume remain his most influential writings on acculturation. Linton's interest in culture and personality also expressed itself in the form of a seminar he organized with Abram Kardiner at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute."

have just finished re reading his premier work 'the study of man' where he outlines the basic mechanics of culture in a readable and easily assimilated way.
There is no room for individual interpretation.
Linton had been a warrior and a no-nonsense type of guy but he did not like "communists"  and apparently he informed against some of them in the mccarthy era which is sad and tarnishes his otherwise stellar reputation.
no wonder my professor of antthropolgy tried to discourage me from reading him without telling me why which is just as big a crime in my book because by ignoring Lintons work he and others  left the door open for the obscurantists [french] and the show and tell dweebs.
very sad!

In the meantime New Zealanders have to put up with the childish infantilisms of the mainstream news media in the form of one Jack Tame.
Tame is lame. hired for his hair and teeth he had a brief intro to the punters on NZTV then shipped off to th eUSA for a bit of polishing but like many others they never took to him much and he was shipped back home.
People like him are hired on the strength of their looks and not their mental equipment which is sadly lacking.
Tame is about as bright as a bunch of schollgirlsx comparing pimple cream.
He has been reared in a time where post modernistic tropes like only your own truths count have invaded the school system and this leads on to the conviction that ones own truths are facts.
