A week at NZ Conservative (25 Oct 2008)

Here's a summary of the posts made over the last week , 19 Oct 2008 to 25 Oct 2008 at NZ conservative:

The effects of divorce and a book review [Lucyna]
Family First release a study with more reasons to show why supporting families needs to be an important component up for discussion in an election year. A book review shows that the damage to children of divorce is far reaching and more harmful than many care to admit. Another post by Lucyna that raises many comments, often by infuriated defenders of liberal values.

Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity [Lucyna]
Political activism in schools is not just limited to Greenies. Seems some teenagers are prepared to voice an opinion on the sanctity of life without saying a thing.

The Obama Votive [Lucyna]
Obama dressed as a saintly Pope, complete with halo and crucifix. Don't you think some Democrats are taking things just a little too far? He's not the Messiah, he's just a naughty Chicago Lawyer.

Helen Keys John II [ZenTiger]
Helen justifies dirty campaigning as "just a bit of a joke". From the great tradition of flinging enough mud and hopefully, some will stick. We have to ask though, is why does Helen have so much access to mud? And the ugly H. word rears its head as yet another left wing tactic. It seems ethics is also "just a bit of a joke" to the Labour left.

Most donors still alive when organs removed [Lucyna]
Organ donors are best alive when sliced and diced. Varying definitions of brain dead have resulted in the occasional person waking up when the most charitable cut is first made. Here is a comment from a Doctor that thinks people should be made aware of the mechanics of donating your organs.

MMP Law Change Needed [Fletcher]
Fletcher muses on the injustices of MMP. Is it fair that minority parties might be able to form a big enough coalition to out govern the single most popular party? Hey, don't ask me, I didn't vote for MMP.

Garth George calls election for freedom
[Lucyna]
Garth George is sick of the last 9 years of Labour. He represents the many that think it's time for a change, one that ultimately will be a vote for freedom, and a blow to the unrestrained growth of the left wing bureaucracy.

Maori Party History Lessons
[Lucyna]
The Maori party want mandatory history lessons to immigrants on Maori culture. As long as that doesn't include the culture of blame, we all might just be able to live together.

The criticism of the welfare state by JPII in 1992 [Lucyna]
Charity is a responsibility of all people, and has to be personal. Appointing the state to take over charity has it's own dangers, and explained by John Paul II. A clear explanation that socialism and big government can be bad for the character of our nation.

Friday Night Free For All [ZenTiger]
I kick off the Friday chat session.


A Forest
[ZenTiger]
Come closer and see...see into the trees...find the girl..while you can.
Some Friday music. The definitive mix for Cure fans.

On the Fritzl [ZenTiger]
The Austrian Abomination, Mr Fritzl confesses to raping others and explaining away his lack of compassion to his children. "Hey, I could have been worse" he says. What, he was hoping for bonus marks?


Suicide in New Zealand
[ZenTiger]
Suicide rates are the leading form of violent death in New Zealand. How about we all take an effort to reach out to people we care about? There are a lot of lonely and unhappy people that don't realise just how many people will come to their funeral.
