The second is political support and donations from the supermarket duopoly.Dave Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05990096427496982088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-71765392955436233402010-08-24T22:37:51.886+12:002010-08-24T22:37:51.886+12:00How about Simon Power think of banning fat food th...How about Simon Power think of banning fat food that's available at every supermarket and four-square store around the country to fat-fuck like him.<br /><br />I am sure that fat-fuck Simon Power will become slim over time if such ban is in place.Pro-Freedomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-45269224514400134162010-08-24T20:55:53.993+12:002010-08-24T20:55:53.993+12:00Berend, should your neighbours have a say in what ...Berend, should your neighbours have a say in what sort of outdoor furniture you put in your back yard, what sort of people you invite over, or what colour you paint your house?<br /><br />Of course the people next to a bottle store are free to "get a say". They aren't gagged or silenced in any way. As PC has explained, they can vote with their dollar, by refusing to shop in the bottle store and persuade their friends and neighbours to join the boycott.Richard McGrathnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-48804234686280192852010-08-24T16:04:03.265+12:002010-08-24T16:04:03.265+12:00@Berend de Boer

Entrepreneurs, often from south Asia or India, come to New Zealand and open a small shoppe to get started. I wonder how many protests there'd be in South Auckland if the bottle shoppes were owned by folks whose ethnic background more closely matched the community's.Eric Cramptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15831696523324469713noreply@blogger.com
