Debating doesn't require ridicule. You can correct someone for false beliefs and not be nasty. It really is possible! In addition, sometimes there is grey where you may be certain the belief is false but others disagree with you. Therefore, debate is ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism Feel this is not evident in his post and therefore it might be a bit mean to call him that.
Are there any kids seriously hungry because of poverty, or do their parents just have other priorities. I would be skinny as a rake before I sent my kid to school without breakfast and yet the parents tend to be huuuuge. If I didn't have an emergency fund ...
Great posts.
He's right that there's nothing good about losing the party vote.
An intelligent point without vitriol - so refreshing!
It didn't state that it was an opinion did it? It stated it as fact as far as I can see. Insulting me does not add to your argument. Personally, I think it drags this blog into the muck and shows a lack of decorum and a degree of childishness. Why not just...
Yep. I wonder if we know the same QC? Or if there is more than one QC who thinks same. Not that I'll be naming them here of course ;-)
Wow - just wow!
Did you just say something defamatory?
I'm not commenting on whether his extradition is right or wrong, just that given the very limited grounds for refusing an extradition request legally, there's a high probability he'll go.
I'd believe you, but imagine if John Key had a suspended prison sentence for embezzlement and insider trading (which he hasn't) even as, say an 18 year old - surely you'd be all over it. Or are you saying you wouldn't hold that against him (if it in fact ...
Is that why the left never seem to have any unless it's come from the state - either teaching, lecturing or welfaring? Makes sense now - thanks!
Yeah, it's not like getting all your emails stolen is reprisal. It's not like having people threaten your family is reprisal.
The difference is that they don't have convictions and a colourful past and aren't working to avoid extradition.
Lol - a high probability is he will get extradited surely? I don't think it's worth spending too much time speculating until after his extradition case in Feb. I think the best thing for him to do is make the best of what may be the little time he has left...
Does anyone have any idea what this post is about? Hard to understand the comparison with Paula B. I just don't get it.
Ironically in the same speech Cunliffe also said money can't buy elections. Which is it. Just like he said the economy was great yet all election implied it wasn't.
Could you perhaps just make the point without the name calling though?
Lol. Living in Clendon (just down the road from where the Kahuis used to live), being in the South Auckland health system and volunteering in South Auckland schools not sufficient for you? Fact is, if you increased benefits by 1/3, 1/3 more people would be...
Yes.Thus why these stats are next to useless. Not sure why anyone would choose to break them down this way. Far better ways to work out what students think.
Yes. Have been an accountant at one point, so not completely unable to read a balance sheet :-). I think we'll agree to disagree. Specifically, what has Bill English stolen (you call him a thief) and what has Key done that is corrupt?
I lived in Clendon Manurewa for many, many years and quite recently. I have worked in healthcare and volunteered in schools. Unfortunately, there is often poverty of spirit (can't be bothered getting the kids free glasses from the free service, drinking ...
Which bit did you feel was incorrect - just so I can get some idea of your perspective which is difficult to determine from your comment above.
Absolutely. I'm pretty sure if it had been key though the left would have gone nuts.
It will take a flax roots, bottom-up, community-based movement to rebuild democracy and a fair, caring and sustainable society. Yes. That's why people voted National. They care, and they won't make us bankrupt. Yay.
It was the dirty politics of the left that killed it. Look at how the right ignored the Cunliffe rumours. They know dirty politics does not work.
Agree. If that's the standard for success, it's no wonder Labour weren't elected. As a country, we want to do well, not do close to the worst ever and pretend we're doing well.
Don't blame National for WINZ. Blame those who take what they don't need from the state meaning we have to put additional barriers up for the deserving because otherwise the undeserving will swamp us and there will be no money for hospitals. Everyone wants...
Bit over-hysterical here. Detracts people from the left's cause when we exaggerate (I use that word politely - exaggerate is an understatement reading the posts above).
As the case may be, you're more than welcome to make an additional point that has nothing to do with the one you replied to. However, people will be confused if you make points unrelated to theirs in response to them. You seem a little upset, perhaps that ...
