They are absolutely not entitled to their beliefs when they cost me - or you - money. And in the strongest possible terms they are not entitled to your custom - and so they are not "entitled" to their beliefs if they expect any self-respecting Kiwi to give them business. <br /><br />Would you buy petrol, say, from Shell if you knew they bought their oil from the "Islamic State"? I hope not - and that's nothing to do with your right to free speech (or their free speech either). <br /><br />On of the mods at Whale said to could end up like East Germany vs West Germany. Well - remember who won that one and on what terms. East Germany was the price we had to pay for West Germany; Cannon's Creek is the price we have to pay for Khandallah; South Auckland is the price we have to pay for Remurea & Orewa. <br /><br />And it is a price worth paying!<br /><br />This election feels like '84 or '91 - an election that will determine the future of the country. Whoever wins, NZ will not be the same on Sept 21st as it is on the 20th. <br /><br /><br /><br /><i> think we need to keep repeating what free speech actually means </i><br /><br />Free speech means precisely that you cannot be found criminally liable for speech that is not libellous, slanderous, inciting violence, sedition, or otherwise likely to cause harm ("shouting fire in a crowded theatre"). Free speech has absolutely nothing to do with supporting (or not supporting) business who in their turn support leftists or avowed terrorists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-69555862041798390042014-08-22T20:46:05.090+12:002014-08-22T20:46:05.090+12:00WO uses blackhat techniques to fake views and gets...WO uses blackhat techniques to fake views and gets most of its traffic from the media coverage of Slater's comments. <br /><br />Sort of a fake it till you make it success. <br /><br />I doubt very much that PnS will miss out on customers due to this. Whomever does their online adspend should learn to target URL's properly. What a waste they could have hired me instead.

This response by Pak n Save to the odious, and I use the name with great care, Martyn Bradbury has annoyed me. <br /><br />Foodstuffs will be losing about $30,000 of revenue from me now on. From what I can read on Whaleoil I think they are probably down over a $1 million now.<br /><br />I agree also about the Salvos.workingmannoreply@blogger.com
