and so heralds the end of new zealand
as of 10 minutes ago, i became eligible to both buy alcohol, take out a loan/overdraft, join the armed forces and vote. in that order if i so wish
funnily enough, i don't intend to join the army/navy, have got the papers for my student loan lying on my couch, already have a beer fridge, and would only vote if looked like the greens/maori/christians were going to win
When it comes to computers there is a difference to what you need and what you want, the former being less than half the price of the latter.

It would seem that someone's up themself. Maybe you'll learn to grow up and mature more gracefully than the rest of us did.

The "green/maori/christians" would definitely win if you and everyone else decided to vote. Just think positive!and would only vote if looked like the greens/maori/christians were going to win

1] Don't vote, then don't complain. Earn your right to ***** about government. Otherwise you no better than the Exclusive Brethren.and would only vote if looked like the greens/maori/christians were going to win
2] No point telling you not to get drunk (I never listened either). It will be another 15 years before you realise being smashed off your face isn't all it's cracked up to be. In the meantime, always keep $40 in your pocket and don't spend it. That way you can always get home at night without getting in a car with a drunken idiot. Better $40 out of pocket than being fitted up for a pine overcoat. This approach helped me survive my 20's.

How would this be a "positive" scenario if the "green/maori/christians" were in power?The "green/maori/christians" would definitely win if you and everyone else decided to vote. Just think positive!

Re: and so heralds the end of new zealand
Sorry - must have been a bit too subtle for some.
What I was saying was a subtly deliberate minsterpretation of the OP's suggestion - that he would only vote (for the Greens/Maori/Christians) if he thought his vote would be a successful vote (and bring the Greens/Maori/Christians into power. And that if he only thought positively, he would have his dream. I wasn't suggesting that a particular arrangement of political power blocs would be positive or otherwise.
It was a (unsuccessful) attempt at some subtle humour, based on how I read the OP. Plus, it's a quiet day at work. <sigh>
Never mind.
