The first thing to change peoples perceptions is on where to buy, to do this we would need an easy to access map with sea level rise shown. This would lower the value of coastal property as who would buy a house that might be submerged in 30 years, thus ...
The people care, the people just need a sanders type of voice to get behind.
Sanders is doing well because people are realizing democracy does give them power to say enough is enough. People world wide have had enough, the nz labour party should listen to bernie sanders. People are not stupid, they just need to beleive that there ...
If there are riots against the tpp it will damage bernie sanders as well, at a very crucial time.
How many children live in housholds of extreme wealth? How many of those children have third world diseases? How many of those children go hungry, have holey clothes, and are naughty kids at school? A team is only as good as its worst member, if you focus ...
I disagree with your comment that most households in nz would be happy to pay $1800 per year to help this. Not sure where we would find that money, its quite a bit. I would be happy to pay it if we had it spare though.
What labour need to do is to win the next election as a left wing party. If they cant get at 40 % of the vote, nz will continue with trickle down economics, will continue to ignore climate change, and will continue with all the big brother stuff. When i ...
The walking tracks down here on the west coast are in a bad state of repair. One only a short distance from a main town has numourous spots with danger tape covering parts of the track to warn people, in many cases its been there for 6 months or longer. ...
Can someone check to see if they hired velcro gloves aswell. If it was a kids xmas party why were there sex toys there????????
In my opinion Matthew Hooten is correct in his asertion that people think the left hate rugby and sport. The typical image of a lefty is an arty farty type with a glass of red wine in one hand, nose stuck in the air and a condescending tone to the voice. A...
Kiss, keep it simple stupid is one of the best pieces of advice you can give in many situations, This is what she is saying. For a long time left leaning partys have tried to look like the right, speak like the right and dress like the right. Its time to ...
Someone stuffed up and didnt read the fine print about starting benefits at winz, lol, maybe if they hadnt sacked all those back office staff 6 years ago it would only have been a 12 year stuff up.
Ffs, its an older style bike. Whats wrong with riding a bike?,at least he hasnt got cycle pants and fluro lycra on.
When you have to start arguing about the definition of poverty, youve already lost the argument. Its realy very simple, would you be happy living on 60% or less of the median wage?. If not, its probably immoral to expect others to.
The hobbit trilogy was crap anyway, nothing like the book.
He wasnt an mp at the time, give him a break, we all have to let our hair down occasionaly. Its just like zak guilfords naked a bloody drunken romp in raro, he wasnt an alblack at the time so he didnt get into trouble with the nzrfu now did he. And did ...
It would not surprise me to see more legislation excluding other groups from the right to vote. beneficiarys. those of lower than a certain iq threshold those on low income those with terminal illnesses (they could justify that by saying the wont be around...
Everytime this is mentioned the first image that comes to mind is the villian from the charlies angles movie with the hair festish. Having a hair fetish seems to be a standard go to for villians and serial killers in tv and movies.
You wont win this argument unless you can compare apples with apples, if there is a wage difference between sexes in actual jobs it is an issue. But if some industries pay less, then that low pay should apply no matter what sex you are.
Whale oil is a hate blog in my opinion, but then im just a west coast feral, what would i know.
maybe funders was a typo. that is a very well written letter that shows compassion, ive never seen anything like that on whaleoil.
As a commentor on here, its scary to think that those on the right who beleive anything goes could be wanting my name and email (no matter how far down the list i am ). It does make you consider commenting or not. Its like running past a known gang house, ...
sigh. i tried to explain that ive seem things get worse over the last 2 years( on the ground, not in fact and figures), in particular with hungry kids. the standard reply (from good people) is that its the parents fault and if start feeding kids it will ...
thank you to the authors, moderators and organisors of the standard. We are lucky to live in a country that we can voice our views, even though it does feel the ability is under attack at present. nz is a great country with great people, we are not a ...
From a parents perspective the reports you get under national standards are horrible. Im not sure about other parents, but please bring back the old reports that include effort, and comments from the teachers. i dont give a toss about a rating system at ...
how did we get to this state?, by slowly making incremental changes, its like when you reach a certain age, you become slighlty less active, you dont notice any immediate change to your body, but one day you look down and realise you cant see your feet ...
it could work commercialy if the targets arent to hard to achieve and somehow we can increase the numbers of people needing the services. increasing alchol consumption, smoking, gambling etc could help increase numbers requiring the social services thus ...
this can be lead from the ground up, but no one has given realistic ideas for the average person. ive heard stop using your car, reduce your electricity usage , stop using your fire to heat your house etc etc. all fine ideas, but that would mean giving up ...
theres lots to discuss, its just so big. trips overseas seem to be the domain of rivate schools. huge numbers of kids have learning disabilitys that are undiagnosed (officially) because there parents cant afford the cost for an assessment, thus the schools...
its not the donations that are the issue, its the courses that have cost component that parents dont legally have to pay for, in particular with the rules clarifications over the last 2 years. hard materials tech requires components ( wood for a chair ...
i watched the nation this morning, as usual only half watching as getting things done takes precedence (probably like most politically uninformed people in nz) and i got the feeling that the new leader implied that the greens could work with national (im ...
