i walked away from this website a few years back cos the comments sections often had a way too aggro element. plus the partisanship got a bit tiring ~ by which i mean being partisan as much as reading partisan content. back when i was following the ...
They do get a refund of the overpayment, but it presents a very limiting position on anyone receiving a disability payment when the secondary job is their greater weekly source of income. Hardly a misnomer when despite an end of tax year refund, if they ...
I quit the standard about half a year ago cos I found it to be too toxic. left politics should be vibrant, creative and generous. there's way too much "fuck you" going on. which seems to reflect the state of left politics - in the place of a robust ...
temuka is awesome.
they offered to sell the couple anything in the shop except a wedding cake. so it's a bit different from the "no jews or irish" scenario. it's not a good idea to conflate these groups with the right. I really hate infanticide but I'm leftist. and the group...
zerohedge is a waste of time. sometimes they'll smack a nail so fantastically on the head that they get picked up in other media, but that's the limit of their appeal imo. make a lot of dud calls.
in related news, I live how that article about the woman who'd had her teeth smacked out for speaking Maori was quickly followed up by one that said she'd been telling porkies. I mean, gee, bar staff, cops, you're spoiled for choice about sources for ...
Could I move from the floor that the blog title be renamed "The Chinese stockmarket IS A crisis"?
well I was about to take issue with your mangling of shearer's name before seeing what he'd said about free trade being a foot in the door etc, which was vastly more mangly. door to door salesman logic doesn't quite rise to the occasion, welshman.
you mean there is no such thing as good.christians? or do you mean that the only good christian is a dead one, and therefore in no position to use violence?
that word, antiquated, that pops up in the first sentence of the post. it speaks an ethos of old is bad, new is good. modernizers are vandals.
I've heard Rudd talking on international politics and he was really good. smart and interesting - and we're talking international politics here. clark I can see good and bad in. she did kneecap alot of labour talent. but yeah, as has been noted, a clark ...
I'll be OK thanks.
economic productivity is a core need, although "making money" is a harmful, reductionist parody of it. i was on the dole in wellington and was hugely productive in lots of ways that benefited many grateful people. one afternoon i raised $2000 for a ...
slash and burn aint so cool. noble savage romanticism is about as primitive as you can get.
what happens after the housing bubble pops? the herd of clark-to-key swing voters won't be unified anymore by their fantastical pursuit of real estate investment wealth. i do hope that whatever capital they have left they'll decide to plough into ...
"best" and "1968" in the same sentence is more than i could imagine.
real journalism takes real money. which nobody in news has got much of anymore.
on a side note, if you have an interest in the dynamic of reflecting poor behaviour back at the perpetrator, there's a wonderful french philosopher called rene girard. while i'm rambling, the NZ pacifist Chris Marshall points out that the Biblical legal ...
horses may be more easily forgiven for shitting freely in public.
it's in poor taste. worse is that you'd take a troll so seriously. some lines off blake: mock on, mock on, voltaire, rousseau mock on, mock on, tis all in vain you throw the sand against the wind the wind blows it back again
on reflecting, the viciousness of these thugs is probably fueled by the waking nightmares they have of their workers turning against them and slicing themup into cutlets and such. their real skill lies in exploiting workers - should move on to another ...
I got this from one of my favourite movies: we weep for the cry of the bird but not for the blood of the fish. pity those who have no voice. liberals are for murder and they stink of death. not sated with the blood of a million children that were sliced ...
Do a straight piece. too much pisstaking rots the brain. if you wrote a decent "positives of the last seven years" that was, you know, grounded in fact rather than posturing, I'm sure the guys here would consider throwing it up as a discussion piece...
Open letter to Fisiani. Hey Fisiani, now that I've stuck up for you (see yesterday's comments) can you tell the truth on: A. whether you're a collaborative effort - i.e., actually more than one person. B. whether your average age is under 25. at the risk ...
yeah McFlock is blaming his poor netiquette on Fisiani's trolling. "you've earned the abuse" - sounds like the guy's done some time in prison.
so there's this thing called metaphor... in the divine economy there is no earning of abuse.
"you do it too" is no defense.
the point is name calling. people should be able to love key anywhere they want without being called names.
liberals don't need to read cos they're always right.
