"giving the presidency to Trump. Which would be worse than Clinton" It appears Ms Stein does not agree with your analysis, at least in respect of who is likely the more dangerous war-mongerer of the two. She clearly sees Trump as the safer option. From 2....
"Neoliberalism, it could be argued, has been a disaster for most New Zealanders." I love the smell of nostalgia in the morning, the witterings of those who long for life as it was before David Lange's Labour government of 1984-1990 interjected in NZ's ...
"Indian weavers had their thumbs cut off" That would be a myth, based on a metaphor. The British East India Company did not physically cut off thumbs, they copped blame for a terrible recession in the hand-loom weaving industry in India circa 1810-1850 ...
You're now banned from this post. The guts of why, is your clearly deliberate misrepresenting a multitude of climate change events. For people who want to find out more about why this commentator is full of shit, please refer to this link: https://www....
That's what (relatively short) modern records show, proxy records don't agree. "reconstructions based on only the longest records (R2 and R3 networks) indicate that single 30- and 10-yr periods of similar or slightly higher temperatures than in the late ...
Yep, ok Pat, fair point. Let me try again; Labour should not pretend to be house-builders, they should concentrate on supplying developed sections which could then be leased back to lessees based on the capital value of the building above the ground (...
Not so far Pat, but I'm open to offers. Seriously though, Labour should be considering this. Forget Kiwibuild and think Kiwisite. Government should not be involved in house-building in a big way, not with all the legal requirements and related whoo-har of ...
I appreciate what you're saying Andre, that there are horror stories, and I accept that, but there are also numerous good stories, yours could be one yet to be told. Don't be afraid of a lease-hold section...check out your landlords by all means, and if ...
Well then Pat, drop that property off your list, there are still 255 others to look at, and time waits for nobody...
Yeah, I've got some idea. Large areas of Karori and Newlands, here in Wellington, are leasehold sections, owned by Manchester Unity and other trusts. My in-laws house on Wrights Hill, Karori was a leasehold section, they didn't die under pressure of ...
Fair enough, but in what way is it not affordable? You are not "totally helpless" when it comes to rent review time, you have options including selling the property, using your (hoped for) capital gains or property improvements to take another small step ...
So, what's your point?
So what, muppet? [Focus on ideas, not personalities, please. TRP]
Hmmm, well it's not my list, it's Trademe's, and they are not CV's, they are the asking prices, but say we reduce the list to 3 and 4 bedroom homes; there's still a choice of a mere 256 places for sale in that range in the Auckland area, is that not enough...
According to Trademe Property there are currently 775 homes for sale in the Auckland market at your "affordable" price, that is a huge number to choose from, how much more choice do you want? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/CategoryAttributeSearchResults....
Good points, well made.
Who knows, you might be right... "Websites pour forth heated arguments between liberals and conservative about almost everything—or, as is becoming clear due to brain research, what seem to be arguments but in fact are genetically determined reflexes. ...
No, I'm saying that neither disgusting language or disagreeable employment practices are acceptable to today's public; they are equally ugly, there is no future for either of them. Communication without profanity, Employment without exploitation, Evidence ...
You have reasonable enough grizzle about your daughter's predicament but include such disgusting and unnecessary terms, how disappointing, it demeans you. Do you have any evidence at all, anything, to suggest that the operators of the business are in fact ...
Couldn't agree more, good on you Mr Little "Labour leader Andrew Little has described the national anthem as a "dirge" http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11488272
Now Rachinger has disappeared his blog, within days of begging for funds and The Standard calling on readers to support him.... Crikey, what are the conspiracy nutjobs going to make of that? https://medium.com/@benrachinger
Correct. Original here: http://i.imgur.com/wT4XtDj.gifv
No. "With per capita GDP around $100,000, the Norwegian lifestyle has become such that the work week averages less than 33 hours, one of the lowest in the world, and while unemployment is low, there is large underemployment, made possible by benefits. In ...
Who knows? You're possibly on the right track Jenny. Why have these allegations (allegedly) really been hanging around since 2011? The fact that they haven't been dealt with adequately in this amount of time speaks of massive political incompetence or ...

Apologies to you Rosemary, I hadn't clarified my point...that your writing had lovely rhythm, like an AR Ammons poem, that's why I put the line breaks in. I wasn't trivialising your point or embracing breakneck speed by timber jockeys. I believe life is ...
I'm not sure about that Rawshark, you are presuming that the price of electricity will remain stable, there's no guarantee of that, that's only possible if it's "subsidised". What's not to permit the barking dogs of cronyism from running to your door and ...
'Well Rosemary, if "this is absolute lunacy.", bring it on: Good god almighty! We headed out of Gisborne heading to Tolaga Bay, and in a 30 minute drive met 24 fully laden logging trucks heading for the port. Boy, do those puppies motor.

You are hilarious Draco, really hilarious. And so smart; imagine if only Toyota, Mercedes-Benz and BMW could hire you, you could save them fortunes in development costs with your innate brilliance: "It’s still useless as an everyday fuel as it loses energy...
"We’re actually pretty limited as to where we can get hydrogen from." Ever heard of a mysterious liquid called Water? It's around here, somewhere, apparently: "The chemical mediator they used is called silicotungstic acid (H4[SiW12O40]). Water is split at ...
