Christchurch Treehouse of Awesome-Where everyone knows your name

Maybe it was the only way they could deal with all the whiny bastards who make up such a high percentage of the NZ population.

Watching the Cathedral debate hasn't been edifying.

Concentrating the decision-making process was necessary in the stage immediately after the earthquakes, I agree.

However in terms of re-build rather than recovery, it simply will not work. Yes, a great deal of power will need to be vested in institutions which confront problems not before seen in this country, and all decisions result in sides being appeased or opposed. However, considering the significance of CERA legislation (particularly in terms of how our constitution is affected) it is a legitimate concern that it may become a leviathan.

Of course there's lots of whingers and whiners out there - and moreso when their houses and communities are totally devastated or destroyed - but the solution is not to continue excluding them from the process; if you want it to be legitimate, they need to be included.

I don't know what extent you are involved in Canterbury affairs Zarkov, but I would further remind you that the Cathedral issue is a drop in the bucket really - no doubt it gets press because it's a national icon, but in context of the ongoing issues with democracy and expenditure of public funds in Canterbury: it's a complete side-show.
Forget the Cathedral, look at the way our 'City Plan', our schools, our local representation processes are being changed - where's the consultation? where's the input from local people? It's Wellington telling Canterbury how best to operate; and they simply cannot know what's appropriate for our environment better than we do. It's also quite ironic how democracy has been undermined in the home of universal suffrage.

Call me one-eyed.

Zing!

Also; git.

Saw the wizard yesterday. He was standing outside getting mad because hogwarts was getting demo'd.
Found it retarded that people protest a buildings demolition when it's already torn into. "SAVE THIS BUILDING!" - BIT FUCKING LATE NOW ISN'T IT?
Where the fuck were you BEFORE the demolition began? It was on the cards for MONTHS, yet only the day they actually start work does anyone suddenly give a fuck. TOO LATE BY THAT POINT YOU RETARDS.
Your toots fall like golden teardrops of oil onto the bulldozer, fueling it's insatiable appetite for stone masonry.

EQC work almost done except for some interior paint fuckups.... hopefully i can return to normal alcohol consumption.  Generally the crew doing our place has been pretty good but we found giving gentle reminders on little shit helped as the crews are usually doing multiple jobs and shit gets missed naturally.

I think my video card doesn't like my motherboard. I've had issues with it since day one.

Everything has been tested and replaced along the way but problems persist.

I had that problem once, except i went into computerlounge to get the card checked, and it was fine, i felt like such a fucking retard.

Turns out it was my monitor.
