Friday morning, March 4, 2011. There's been an earthquake in Christchurch, and many people have been devastated. Some people are still stunned and grief-stricken by the fact they've lost their homes and (in hundreds of cases) family members. That's WEAK, according to one tough-guy broadcaster...
"NnnnnewwwstalkZB… It's eight minutes after ten. Ummmmm, ahhhh, look. There are some things counsellors are good for, but they have, let's face it, outlived their ummmmm, ahhhhh, ahhhhh, usefulness. If you're still seeing a counsellor days, weeks, months and YEARS after an event, there's something wrong. We're just not RESILIENT any more. People need to get over things. Ahhhhhmm, ahhhhh, whatsisname ummmmm, ahhhh Anthony Robbins ---between him and Wayne Dyer is where I formulated MY philosophy on this. You need to get over it and move on."
Later....
"Why is it some people INDULGE themselves in their MISERY? We're all different in lots of ways. But our education system where you play sports without a winner, where everyone participates... The socialization of sport and attitude... it means people aren't RESILIENT."
The ranting, including his contempt for the victims of the earthquake, continues even as we write...
FACT: Earlier on in the programme, Smith condemned "Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Moslem Nation" as a "ranter of the first order."

He's right though. Our parents went through one great depression and
two world wars, they went from riding a horse to school to seeing a
man land on the moon. They still had a sense of humour. In fact the
humour of that generation can't be found now, now its more often
cynicism than real humour which gets people smiling.

So have the victims of this quake. They are just as stoical and
resourceful as people anywhere else.

Complete nonsense. Your willingness to scorn the victims of
Christchurch is matched only by the wooliness and vagueness of your
thinking.
