<p>My colleague said her son (admittedly too young to vote) came home from school with a strong opinion on why we should keep our current flag, talking about our history etc. Influenced by his teachers views.</p>

<p>I think as my kids get older am going to really getting fucked off if they come home spouting political crap they have clearly been fed by a teacher.</p> -
You've got to start them young, my sons been referring to people like the tppa protesters as ferals for a few years now and he's 13 . I've still got a bit of work to rounding out his world view but suffice to say any leftard teacher trying to spout some pro disease bullshit or pinko nonsense is going to have their work cut out for them.

<p>I got my voting paper in the weekend and added my Lockwood tick to the tally on Monday.</p>

<p>Gave a total stinkeye to a chick at work, who not only liked red peak, but was voting to keep the current flag because the process was too expensive and starving children.</p> -

<p>I got approached by a Greenpeace collector outside Countdown on the weekend. I said no thanks and then asked why she was wasting her time collecting for a large corporation when she could have been helping in a hospice or collecting for child cancer? Was it all about image for her?</p>
<p>She wasnt very happy, and to be fair.. I was a bit rude in doing that. But .. meh.. I am getting old and more curmudgeonly</p> -

Not to mention the joys of Islam

<p>I think Greenpeace contracts out their collecting and those people are actually being paid commissions for signups. More likely to be desperate students and people willing to do anything for a promise of potential money so don't be too harsh on them. They are unlikely to actually believe in the cause.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you travel to work by train in Welly there is barely a day that goes by without some bucket being waved at you from collectors on the way out. I do like it when a grumpy morning coincides with the Catholic Support Services looking for money. Their pleas are usually answered with "tell the Pope to sell a painting'</p> -

<p>Oh I don't know, Crucial. When I was a student I believed all kinds of nonsense, usually based on nothing more than corroborating opinions from other equally deluded students and the logic of false premises. You know - "Rainbow Warrior sinking is bad, Rainbow Warrior belongs to Greenpeace, therefore Greenpeace is good". Moronic and embarrassing.</p> -

<p>I had two HOT foreign Greenpeace collectors turn up at my house last week. After mentioning how good the hill up to my place was for toning their bums, they asked if I knew about Greenpeace and liked their work. Things started to go downhill when I gave them the "meh" horizontal hand waver in response to that question.</p> -
