    David Shearer is challenging Key’s intention to send troops to Iraq, saying that the Iraqi Minister is not asking for troops, but “softer” aid. Quibble, quibble. I believe Shearer, not Key. Shearer, call it quibbling if you will, says Key is not responding to the Iraqi request, but to America’s and to Australia’s – it’s they who want troops.
    Not healthy, Mr Key. Not healthy for New Zealand.

    What is it about America that makes John Key willing to send young New Zealanders into a war in the Middle East, Jabba? A war we have no business being anywhere near, eh, Jabs?

    so if ISIS control more of the Middle East which means they will grow bigger, stronger and indeed richer, they will be content and leave the rest of the world to live in peace eh Mr G, I mean bOb?

    Jabba fears ISIS are a Global Threat. Jabba has been taken in by the warmongers. America is home to specialist warmongers. Jabba likes America.

    Jabba – I am certain you are wrong about Gwens. I know a woman named Gwen and she doesn’t hate any country. I am betting that there are few Gwens, if any, who are as you describe them. In any case, why do you anguish over Gwens? What about Cynthias, Rosemaries and Dorisses? Do you lie awake at night worrying about how they, and Lyndas, Catherines, Winsomes and Florences think?
    I suspect you might just do!

    ohhhhhhh noooooooooooooo. I missed out an e. Wow, now I know how it feels to be as stupid as you when you got to and too mixed up a week or so ago.
    How about we move forward like this:
    1/ I think the international community tries to prevent ISIS from murdering more people all around the world.
    2/ you let them do whatever they want

    And America. I think they are an interesting people who helped save NZ from being being another offshore Japanese group of Islands just 70 years ago. You would have been alive back then but I guess your memory has faded a tad.

    Dizzy thinking from you, Jabba. Claiming to speak on behalf of women named Gwen is one thing but claiming to think is another!
    In response to your No. 1, yes, me too.
    In response to your No.2, it’s a well chosen title for that sort of thinking, Jabba. I don’t “let” “them” do anything at all. Your claim makes no sense, just like your “I speak for Gwen” nonsense earlier.
    You think America “are interesting people”
    That’s nice. I think they are interesting people too.
    It’s difficult to follow your argument, Jabba, (I’m presuming there is one in there somewhere). Perhaps if you were to use an internationally recognised language for the purpose of this debate?

    Gee, it must be hot in Riverton today and possibly windy. They say heat and wind can cause serious mental issues with unstable people.

    My membership has lapsed, leaving me free of all obligation. In any case, I don’t believe that one of the Green Party’s aims is to snigger, as you have claimed. That’s all for today, thanks for playing.

    You are free of all obligation just because your membership of a political party has lapsed? Be quick and join another. You should not be on the loose.
