They didn't stop crushing cars because the people changed their ways - it was never a good policy and was hard to enforce.

To be fair - we can't really blame Germany, there is not a lot any country can do about the misbehaviour of their citizens who emigrated already as toddlers, as Thiel did. Peter Thiel's character clearly has been formed in the US.
Quite different situation for New Zealand. It was our government which gave him citizenship rights knowing his questionable character and mindset. Thiel clearly had the right arguments suitable for our banana republic ... amazing what a large enough bank account can do to convince our otherwise so anti-immigration authorities.
Just to avoid doubts ... Peter Thiel was granted NZ citizenship in June 2011 after spending only 12 days in NZ and without any plans to keep staying here. While our current government is the most unkind and xenophobic I remember - we can't blame them for this particular mishap. Maybe the Key government was still more banana republic compliant ...

So law-abiding citizens harassed and intimidated by anti-social & criminal tenants of Housing NZ (or whatever the stupid name it is called these days) simply have to put up with the directive from Cindy that the tenants are untouchable.
You have a seriously warped sense of what's right and what's wrong with Cindy's government and race based policies. :t_down:
As soon as he withdraws this disgraceful comment made in 2009.The 1920s were the last decade in American history during which one could be genuinely optimistic about politics. Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries (??) and the extension of the franchise to women—two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians—have rendered the notion of "capitalist democracy" into an oxymoron... In our time, the great task for libertarians is to find an escape from politics in all its forms... Because there are no truly free places left in our world, I suspect that the mode for escape must involve some sort of new and hitherto untried process that leads us to some undiscovered country; and for this reason I have focused my efforts on new technologies that may create a new space for freedom.
The inclusion of women has been unquestionably good for most countries given the lack of world wars.
Sadly , his german family lived in apartheid south africa for a short time too.
Where did I say that was right?
You do draw some strange conclusions based on your biases.
For the record what those people get away with is just plain wrong.
How to fix it isn't simple though.
Kicking them out seems like a good idea but they still end up as a housing problem for the state (I think I posted an article on this previously).
Fining them wouldn't help - they just won't pay.
I don't have an answer but I suspect that the answer would be different depending on whether they had kids or not.
Maybe they need to be corralled together out of the way and left to annoy each other. :eek2:
