Many of the comments and the article itself are disgraceful, and if there is such a thing as karma, then a few might now have cause to look over their shoulders. It ain't lucky to gloat about the misfortune of others, and to do so publically makes it far ...
Yes the casual racism is nauseating, but let's not pretend that this very thing isn't rife in our public sector, or that it isn't a direct and predictable result of affirmative action and the like that many of us might support. We might find it distasteful...
Thanks, sums up my experience with them too. They didn't do the slightest thing to help a struggling inventor of my acquaintance with a fantastic invention he had. It was just endless bureaucracy and little hope of anything in the way of actual cash. ...
The science actually shows there are risks, so to call WAVES anti-science does yourself no favours. Many people have died throughout history due to vaccination and they have actually spread disease and many recalled. Don't throw your toys out the cot due ...
I saw those witches flying into the air; shouting "ME TOO", and trailing words: "Your jokes are not funny", "Your innuendoes are stale", "I will not have sex with you on the board-room table". From a dark, dark place, with words swirling around me: "Touch ...
That is exactly what will happen
Quite a few of my national voting friends were hoping for this result as going with NZ First seemed awfully risky. So I understand how you feel. I was certain the last government would do a full term but I'm not certain at all about this one.
Congratulations guys. I voted National but I like Miss Adern and think she'll be a popular Prime Minister. I truly hope this government is successful and can deliver what they want to deliver and make NZ a better place. Hopefully in 3 years I'll be ...
Yes I totally agree, this circus is highly undignified. Anybody who does that will surely come out the winner in the long run
Exactly
She's real. Got good manners, not awkward, very likeable, empathetic, and pretty cool. She's a lot like Key in my opinion, and his likeability was great for us when it came to the world stage and dealing with other leaders, so it's a very important thing. ...
I understand the Greens feel MT has been terribly wronged, I understand that they feel very loyal to her, and I understand they feel the need to stand up for what they feel is right, but this is politics, and if they continue to beatify MT it seems to me ...
According to one journalist MT's own extended family weren't happy and had been in touch with media to express their outrage at her claims. So perhaps that played a part in her decision as well.
I have no idea whether she has more or less than me, I have a twenty year career in the public service behind me, and a bit of money in the bank so I'm not jealous of her at all. I'm just saying that in my opinion if her need was so dire she needed to ...
Nope. After. The cuts started in early 1990, and we were on a benefit for at least three years. And she had must have had her mum, mother in law and maybe even the father to help out. We all know her mum lived with her, are you saying her mum didn't help? ...
My gf and I managed both on the dole with a new baby in 1990. I learned to cook stew and not buy stupid luxuries, and we never had to cheat the system to survive. This idea that welfare wasn't enough to survive on at that time is just rubbish - and from ...
So everyone committed benefit fraud at the time she was on a benefit then? Or stole? Or sold drugs maybe? Otherwise I imagine there would have been alarming stories of people starving to death after the cuts which were apparently not conducive to life. My ...
In the late 80's I got my girlfriend pregnant, we were both 17. At that time many people in our situation cheated the system, usually by the mother going on the solo benefit, the dad would go on the dole, and then they'd live together anyway. We chose to ...
I think you're right. Even if it was through gritted teeth it would have come off very well. As it stands Mr Key looks very fair and inclusive, whereas some may view Mr Little as ungrateful.
Exactly. And it's no different in nz in my opinion
Non sworn staff do do it. In fact most who attend burglary scenes are non-sworn.
Rubbish. Has a single third strike been handed out yet? No. It's working.
I usually agree with fisiani but he/she is wrong this time. "Prevention first" and "victim focus" are in the process of backfiring badly. The police is losing the culture of arresting offenders, and now has a "warn wherever and whenever possible" attitude....
Correct
You are absolutely right mate

In fact many "primitive" cultures considered theft, rape, cannibalism, slavery, murder, infanticide and deceit to be virtuous. Native Americans and Polynesians to begin with.
Because rents will drop.
I never said I'm Christian. Because I'm not. I don't agree with much of their doctrine, but I do believe in a higher power. Sometimes a serious illness and/or the loss of someone close to you is enough to awaken a sense of the existence of something more ...
Scientists recently discovered why our fingertips wrinkle when held under water - it improves our grip and facility when carrying out tasks with wet hands. And this was perfectly obvious and right at our very fingertips! It made me think, what else don't ...
Denouncing it is moralistic soap box shit? Do you realise that these are real people who have been killed in horrific and terrifying circumstances? In denouncing it I'm showing them the respect they deserve. Yes, in my view running over men, women and ...
