Now if you read the paper you are presented with a number of choices or you were at the last election anyway. I can only assume the next election will be similar in so far as you can choose where to put your two votes. Or you can start the Zippity Party which you failed to comment on. You can choose not to get out of bed that day and not vote but if you choose that option you get what you asked for. I would not be telling you how to vote or who to vote for.	Sweep (90)

Not "wishy washy" parties :) Sweep - you talk krap. Thanks for the personal attack. Once more you fail dismally to address the actual issues. Any one political party does not have to have a majority to form a Government as at the moment we have an MMP system of counting votes. Who would have thought that the National Party would have gone to bed with the Maori Party as they have. The Maori Party is making a difference in our day to day lives but perhaps you had not noticed. The Greens ( like the Maori Party ) were, and are, a minority but they got the anti smacking bill through did they not? Is ACT making a difference? Rodney Hide got enough votes to have 5 MPs in parliament and is the pusher of the "Super City" which seems to be annoying a number of people who reside in Auckland.	Sweep (90)

880395	2010-04-27 07:25:00	You would be crazy to oppose going from 6 Auckland councils to one, the annoyed people are mainly cranks. I assume then that some current Mayors are in fact cranks? Five of them will not be voted in will they? Just noticed that John Key has ruled out raising the excise on booze BTW to get back on topic.	Sweep (90)

Currently people go to the bar scene and willing to pay high prices for alcohol than stay at home with a visit to Pak N' Save. They would just absorb the price increase and have a big night. $9 for a glass than $7 is nothing. I am only a v casual drinker now, half of my Christmas and NYR I didn't have alcohol but back to my younger years people just drank to get high. Price wasn't a deterrent. As a student, we still bought alcohol, you may drink it up at home before going out to the bar scene and then you drink more. Many of them couldn't wait to Thurs, Fri and Sat. RTDs? We bought Johnnie Walkers and wines and beers and mixed them that way :rolleyes: Do they still target student these days like near exam times they say you get a special if you bring your textbooks to the pub? I don't think there is a solution. I also don't think it is about education. Even as students you get the good bunch and the bad bunch who gets into it a few times and those who gets into regularly. They wanna get smashed because they want to, education isn't going to prevent that. Maybe better inspecting the bars and supermarkets and convenience stores if they sell to under aged drinkers and those who are intoxicated? Maybe making it illegal to be intoxicated in public just by being there if the person cannot control themselves.	Nomad (952)

Why they want to spend money to get like that is beyond me, but it seems more widespread since the arrival of 18 yo legally in pubs. Ah well, the Gov't have a long tradition of penalising everybody to pretend to solve the problems created by a few.	R2x1 (4628)
880400	2010-04-27 09:44:00	I am not sure younger people today are any worse than my generation in the 70s for being pissed and obnoxious. I would classify myself as a happy drunk. Agree about govt penalizing everyone they did as you say with one person acting badly David Gray. Cost me my Russian built matching serial numbers SKS.	prefect (6291)
