All this talk of Kiev, and the Russians being to slow to take it……mean while Berdyansk falls…. Hummm… Due to its important geostrategic location, Berdyansk was chosen as the site for the Ukrainian Naval Forces’ new naval base “East.” The eastern branch of ...
Agreed ! Especially Goldsmith. He absolutely lost me when he admitted to being an ardent admirer of Don Brash. I've always been of the opinion that NZ should have a "Don Brash Day" where everyone gets down on their knees and thanks whatever God they follow...
Who cares ? Is it really all that important which way JA votes on Cannabis. Just at the moment we seem to have far more important issues at stake and yes, it's none of our business which way she votes. It is a private ballot is it not ?

Good comment - in the long term CCP influence over the NZ Chinese community does not bode well for how that community is perceived by the wider population.
Mark Richardson, subject matter expert in the field of: being good at hitting a ball with a stick across a field....and lately being shot down by the PM with a wave of her finger. He just needs to left under the bridge and ignored.
I mentioned trains zero times Tuppence. Zero. So your counter argument appears to put bus lanes on 100km of expressways(RONS) on the fringes of cities to move commuters at 90-100km/hr? Where exactly? It seems like you haven't really thought this through. ...
Really Wayne, key to our prosperity? Would that be our shit GDP compared to other nations with the same or similar population in the OECD: Norway, Ireland, Finland and Denmark? Pretty sure public transport, efficient urban design and a diverse economy that...
Why the ideological commitment to motorways and RONS? It’s stuck to certain routes, is prone to pork barreling from local politicians who want racetracks in their area when the best use is expressways to the holiday home and is an enormous sunk cost that ...
Incrementally alter the structural settings over time to aggressively deny access(insurance, culpability, life bans, regulating private sales) to the purchasing and operating of cars as private transport vehicles(90% of kiwis are urbanites), a little bit ...
There was once a devil in Hell named Carnifex, who liked to eat small children. Sometimes he would take them alive and crush all the bones in their bodies. Sometimes he would pull their heads off, and sometimes he would hit them so hard that their backs ...

It's all about a long unchallenged history of male entitlement and ownership, nothing else, not shame, not victims becoming offenders. I've been around men and male dominated workplaces my whole life and heard all the bullshit conquests, stories, and ...
Without a massive platform(the above individuals all have one) walking the talk is merely going to get you heard at the local bar/church/blogsite, it's why so many personalities with platforms get elected as heads of state and the honest sorts are ignored...
Firstly you clearly didn't read the statements I made or counter answer the argument but just doubled down on a non-existent ad hominem attack, which you then proceeded to rebut with an ad hominem response yourself, 'key broad warrior' I think you wrote, ...
So that bullsh*t ad hominem argument somehow invalidates their point?? Peter Dinklage glorified dragons, he so can't criticize the illegal trade of komodo lizards the hypocrite as he somehow benefited, I heard Beyonce benefited from glorifying 1970's ...
No, it's an easy one. Considering the vast majority of corpses(that have died in a traumatic manner) the police encounter, are killed via suicide or murder box collision this makes the necessity for being constantly armed questionable at best. Remember ...
Let's see if boggis's rational argument works when we substitute a couple of words: The issue is societal, I think. Our culture produces damaged people. Southerners/Nazis are conditioned to be ‘in control’ and so anything that undermines that expected ...
Too true, the following provincial cities are blue: Hamilton(both sides), Tauranga, Nelson, Rotorua, Whangarei, Hastings, New Plymouth, Whanganui, Invercargill, Oamaru and Timaru. Going after the small businesses, working voter, students, unemployed and ...
So... Why is no-one talking about the geoengineering which is so evident in our skies around the world?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNeOTOytEeA [TheStandard: A moderator moved this comment to Open Mike as being off topic or irrelevant in the post it ...
44% out of those who voted, 35% out of those enrolled, and 32% out of those of voting age, the Nats have never captured much more than a 1/3 of the adult population this last decade :-) http://www.elections.org.nz/research-statistics/enrolment-statistics-...
That means the Road Transport Forum and the AA are our equivalent of the NRA, I think all three should be labelled a terrorist organisation for lives cost annually, arrest all members and hold without charge in gitmo :-)
Nz first has to consult their caucas before agreeing to a coalition, Labour has to seek approval from a committee, Greens have to get agreement from their members and National has to run it past Satan....then the public gets to know😊
https://www.politicalcompass.org/nz2017 Seems a little left to me....in all fairness Labour is closer to National
It's not bad if you're an undertaker, coffin manufacturer or private hospital? More motorways without making arterial or rural roads safer will lead to the continued increase in the road death toll, I believe the road transport forum is probably receiving ...

Political pressure is only effective if it's going to cost votes for the incumbents, for example National dragging its heels over the CRL in Auckland. There has been constant demand for this service from the Waikato, including Labour, NZ First, and Green ...
My god there is a massive disconnect between some of the commenters/concern trolls and reality in this blog. Firstly, people commute from Hamilton to Auckland because THEY CAN'T AFFORD A BLOODY HOUSE OR THE RENT THERE, and there are more jobs there too. ...
Where are all the RWNJs defending National's 'do nothing approach' on this thread?? Oh that's right, they don't give a sh*t about suicide as the depressed and other mental health sufferers don't really buy into the brighter future narrative, I guess the ...
