C'mon IV. I have seen enough Hollywood war movies to know that the Americans saved the world in WW2
Thank you David is safe National voters are reminded how important it is to get out and vote National will be celebrating!!!!!!
‘If voting changed anything they wouldn’t let us do it’ – Some one The state serves the economy/capital, not the other way around – doesn’t make a blind bit of difference which class enemy is steering the boat (titanic?).
What speech did you guys watch??? He needs to do a lot better. In John Keys reply Grant Robertson far far out performed Shearers speech with his interjections. Just an observation thats all
Randal, I think all politicians care about their careers and this is not necessarily incompatible with a desire to work for the greater good. Every politician is going to have their own ideas about the directions that society and their party ought to take ...
In order to become a top politician you are ultimately going to have to be ruthless about pushing your own career forward. I think that is what the quote is in reference too.
More jealousy of our popular and competent prime minister!
As long as Kelvin beats Hone Ill be happy
Yeah man, that trickle down effect, just flies in the face of human nature. But then again so does the idea of socialist utopia, we all know what a hell on earth those ideas created. What to do though? Seems to me the country (the whole world) is freaking ...
More envy and class war politics.
I was going to buy a ticket in the 32mil draw just recently, i hardly ever buy a ticket and they told me the cheapest ticket was $13!! I said forget it, I'd rather keep my money LOL I don't know anything about bourgeois or whatever, but for most people on ...
Rats? I thought they were mice.
This is terrible of course, but the media is reporting this without any context. I mean if kids are eating cockroaches because they are so hungry then what the hell are the parents and the wider family up to, you can't blame everything on the government no...
I earned the money, its mine. That's what it means. Not the governments. Working for Families is stupid. Why the overhead of all that bureaucracy? Just let people keep their money. Oh thats right, parties on the left like to use it as an election bribe, so...
I don't understand what you mean. Is that your idea of a reasoned response?
Why are you guys so opposed to people keeping more of their own money? I got a tax cut and i am certainly not rich. My family is atruggling to survive and the tax cut was much appreciated. Its more than the previous government ever did for us.
Can we define rich please?
Oh for goodness sake this policy offers free contraception (remember free condoms and the pill too can be obtained from family planning centres for just a $3 dispensing fee). I would, of course like 99% of New Zealanders, be against compulsory ...
I'm sorry I wasn't aware that such vocabulary was so out of date and offensive.
You are to be commended for your efforts. I have never stated a belief that children born to parentst on the benefit are inferior, just that children may be advantaged if their parents raise them at an easier time. I think raising children whilst relying ...
And perhaps having fewer children later in life will help people in the lower classes to produce high ability socially mobile children, as they will be able to devote more resources to each child.
So providng free contraceptive to all wont cause the NZ population to dissappear, but providing free contraceptives to those on welfare will ensure they do not leave any offspring in the next generation? You cannot have it both ways.
There is no reason I see to predict a massive shortfall in the fertility rate if this policy is implemented. Unless I am understanding it incorrectly. Providing free contraceptive is about as far from forced sterilisation as gay marriage is far from people...
As for your first point, I think it is quite magical thinking to think that poor people are going to die out if you give them free contraceptive. I mean, it just does not follow. This is a bit of a straw man argument. Your second point has no point. I see ...
todd First of all I'd just like to say I'm not particularly in favour of this policy. Your post however is way off the mark, this policy isn't advocating sterilisation - it is advocating contraception. Contraceptive use can be terminated should a good ...
Bbfloyd I do not understand yoru first sentence fragment. This policy suggestion is to provide free contraception. bbflyod: 1. disagrees with you 2. says something nonsensical 3. personally attacks you 4. blames you for people being poor 5. ??? For the ...
"wouldn’t you say that discouraging people from breeding because of inter-generational welfare dependency is targeting an “inheritable undesirable trait”. Eugenics isn’t simply limited to genetics, it is about ‘traits’, like homosexuality and ‘laziness’." ...
Labelling this as eugenics is a bit hysterical Marty G, the logic behind such a move has nothing to do with genitcs. It is first of all empowering, it enables the women in question to have access to forms of contraception that they may not otherwise have ...
What on earth are you on about Viper, ALL the staff in Spain on permanent contracts are incompetent managerial staff? Here I was thinking it was a generational thing, those already on permanent contracts (i.e. the middle aged +) and those who came into the...
I think you missed the point of my post.
The natural response to this is a satirical post, pretending to be an entitled worker who wants governemtn enforced infitite job security so they do not have to take responsibility, e.g. by account planning and budgeting, so if they lose there job they ...
