It's good to be a guy
The NBR recently reported that the Nats have dropped a little support since the election:
While molesworthandfeatherston has been harping on about the accuracy of its latest rolling poll of.....whatever.
Now I ain't no political expert, but the election was two months ago, which begs the question: who gives a fuck?
Let it go.
In other news there's outrage that Air NZ and Qantas are going to ban men from sitting next to unaccompanied kids.
Can't help but agree with Keith on a few of his points - men are people, and human rights are important yadayadayada - nevertheless one underlying question remains.
Who the fuck wants to be seated next to kids, especially ones that aren't yours, on a flight?
Please Keith, let this gross breach of my human rights slip under the radar.
A National Business Review-UMR poll says the Nats and Labour are both down slightly since the election, but a new Roy Morgan poll shows them holding steady over the last month.The NBR-UMR poll, published today, is the second NBR-UMR political poll since the September 17 election.

"The airlines should be more down to earth and recognise that men are people too.
"This is clearly a breach of the Human Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex.

I think an important question on this one is why airlines are letting small children on unaccompanied in the first place?
