They Only Have Themselves To Blame

I went to visit my grandma at her home in Kelston yesterday. The only way I knew how to get there was to pass through Henderson. This clogged, rancid commercial outpost has been affectionately dubbed "the heart of West Auckland." Mum has always told me to wind up my windows and lock my doors when I drive through there. Henderson is full of mental people, she says. They allegedly have a potential to attack me. They do things such as talk in high-pitched voices, when in reality they don't actually sound like that. Some of them have darker skin than me. Worst of all, some of them are unemployed.

They have no jobs. Avert your eyes, Gary. They could pervert your mind into believing something stupid, like that there are actually things wrong with society besides all the unintegrated Asians. You've got to realise that every poor person on this street has chosen to be a bludger. They get plenty of money from the government, but then choose to spend it on drugs and... and pokies! All brown people who are in poverty are in that situation because of bad decisions that they have made themselves. It's not society's problem. You can particularly determine this by the fact that a lot of the people in Henderson are brown. Brown people have a tendency to do things wrong.

When I got to Grandma's, she started complaining irrelevantly about how if we had compulsory voting in New Zealand as Australia does, all the "meatheads" would be voting. Like the "Polys" next door -- who, she exclaims, "can't even put their rubbish out on the right day." Then she expressed her contempt for Tim Shadbolt initially becoming the Mayor of Invercargill -- apparently he only got in because he had so many "mates" down at the "local pub" who thought he was a "good bloke" and voted for him. Then she went on about how he's a breath of fresh air and a lovely guy, only to change her tone after a few minutes and mention that he lost the mayoral chains -- "which were gold."

If I'm going to be of one use to my family, it's going to be breeding prejudice ideologies out of the family line.

Yuk - this is the same as a forum, it really is. You just look at blogs for updates, including comments!

Maybe it's unfair that I say that here on your blog Gary, which I have enjoyed reading but !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I almost didn't notice the exclamation in your voice.

Was your Grandma saying its a good thing or a bad thing that the "meatheads" and "Polys" aren't forced to vote? I would have thought it was good; it means she's got more chance of a poor-hating government getting into power.

She sounds like a good time.

You're right Mr "Anthony" (if that is your real name), she is a good time. In fact, she was a great time last night ;)

Anthony: She believes that they are too intellectually deficient to exercise actual opinion, and will correspondingly tick random boxes or vote for Labour.
