Yes, to quote Clemgeopin, what are you talking about?
Oh dear. I missed this because I was out, but from the sounds, it was a good thing to miss. I have become very disillusioned with the aptly-initialed W.C.
"Nope. Polls show something like 90% of Israelis fully support the current bloodbath in Gaza. And the poll figures were very similar for Israel’s previous massacre in Gaza in late 08/early 09 and for its carpet-bombing of Lebanon in 2006." Oh how I wish ...
"Many would-be volunteers are currently turned away by the usual agencies which can afford to pick and choose and not even bother ringing back those offering their help for free." That's what I found until I finally ended up at Literacy Aotearoa and ended ...
"Why turn out when nothing changes for you, but the names of those in Parliament." I am one of those at the bottom (high education, but no permanent work for 6 years) - but I still vote for the sake of a little bit of hope...
"Not getting to partake in Colon’s missive deprives me of the chance to stamp,stomp, spit upon it, with the final act a grand little display of pyromania as i burned it on the front lawn all the while laughing like a loon…" I had the fun of doing pretty ...
This is a good place to hang my ire at Petrick Gair (as he calls himself) creaming his jeans over Labour's absurdly low figures on the 3 News/Research poll. I used to work for Reid's on the phones with that poll, so I know how biased the questions are. ...
"He is not a christian. He thinks he is Moses. Jesus gives people the option. Craig is disposed to TELLING people what to do." Agreed!
"“Colons Conservatives are said to be having the first’ nationwide letterbox drop’ this weekend” In the middle of wind and rain! :) I found one in my letter box and others which had blown down the street. A lot of money spent for very little. Vicky
" they have rained on them a deluge in a ratio of damage of 1000 to 1." As shown by the casualty figures which as of today are 235 Palestinian dead to 1 Israeli. This is appalling.
The other day I got a survey invitation from Roy Morgan using the Worm, and it wouldn't work, the video wouldn't play - I had clicked on the slider in an attempt to make it play, and then wondered what I had accidentally said I liked! I emailed them, and ...
"The only answer that I can see is that we remove all religion from Parliament and the School system" AFAIK, it's already been removed from the school system - unless there've been changes to the Education Act that I don't know about!
"p.s. you made a comment above about a quote function – what function do you refer to?" Something for the non-html users among us, it was a clickable set of quote marks that would but what one cited in an offset box...
Yes, you are right, Colonial Viper... I am back as the election is coming up, and I am on tenterhooks! :)
"Perhaps what you express is more widespread than ‘secularists’ would care to believe?" I think so! (This board used to have a good quote function, it's a pity it's gone). I remember being very surprised when I saw my non-Christian son say on a website ...
I made my comment before seeing yours, Blue Leopard... as a Christian, I felt very excluded. It's always bothered me that Standardistas seem to, most of them, despise religion. They also seem not to understand that many leftists are Christian (or Muslim) ...
"Tell that to John Key, Bill Gates, et al." I am sure they know that! I do keep reading about the power of the pink dollar, after all.
"Christianity has around 41,000 different denominations." Er, 41,000? Where did you get that number from? That's bizarre.
"I’d say the protocols of parliament should leave religion, of all stripes, out in its entirety." I have just been reading the last 10-15 or so comments and feeling that the left really wants to exclude people such as me... Thank you for reminding me why I...
"wealthy white males tend to be the most homosexual (and those other things) of the lot " True, odd but true... :)
"I sent Jim Mora the following message during the show…." Was there any response or acknowledgement?
"I’m sure Amanda Gillies wouldn’t have lied." Seriously? Amender Gullies as she used to pronounce her name, would need intensive education in order to become a moron.
That's very depressing - 3 News stinks! How much of it is involuntary? Until I got a new TV a few weeks ago, I could get ONLY ONE CHANNEL for nearly a year - yes, the awful TV3. Lucky I can now avoid it as much as possible.
"so..suddenly..if you support free-education.." Despite, it seems, what the Education Act says! Education must be "free, secular and compulsory"...
3 News partisanship is very blatant... Vicky
They are deffo putting up a pay wall, I had an online survey about it the other day, asking which perks I would pay for, and what was the lowest price I'd pay for a monthly fee... Vicky
That would not surprise me idlegus, as TV3 has always given the impression that they're in NACT's pocket, Vicky
Yes. Decades ago, he had a column called "From the Right" (don't know if it still exists.) Rather blatant I thought! Vicky
Oh, is Sabin someone's relative? I didn't know... For nearly a year, my TV didn't work and the only channel I could get was TV3! Thankfully that's changed, so I must get out of the habit... :) Vicky
She and Brooke Sabin are Dumb and Dumber. She infuriates me. Vicky
"That’s because Labour don’t give a damn about beneficiaries, even the ill/disabled ones. That was made crystal clear to us during their reign in the 2000s" That has not been true in my experience, Kaye. David Shearer as my local MP and his staff, have ...
