100% correct Ed. I am totally sick of him. I do not understand why people hound you the whole time. At the very least you have much more to offer. I’ve ready many of the bullshit comments where they try to justify the constant, meaningless criticism. Keep ...
Rachel Stewart has been called a TERF. Is she a radical feminist? Has she identified herself as radical feminist? How do you define a radical feminist? And there is TERF movement. How do you join the movement? Is it voluntary? Can you find yourself part of...
Use a word or a term as a slur often enough and it becomes a slur. Any attempt now to argue TERF is not a slur has zero credibility.
Why use the words “radical feminist”. When used in TERF it appears to mean Lesbian. Are all lesbians radical feminists? Are all radical feminists lesbians? If it does refer to lesbians only, and I still don’t know if that is so, why not use that word? Why ...
“I can’t see how there can be a teacher shortage” - are you saying there isn’t one? If so, where is your analysis to back that up? If you don’t have that analysis - and I’m sure you don’t - or you are not saying there isn’t a shortage, then stop ...
Indeed. There is much in your post that is “vain, sterile and conceited”. Also woefully ignorant and full of hyperbole. You obviously know very little about vegetarians and vegans if you think they all live like Byzantine monks. As well, you obviously have...
Love your work. A much needed credible voice of sanity in a world of fake news, manufactured outrage and general all round bullshit. So much appreciated.
Please address the issues raised. 1. Where is the proof of lost jobs? 2. Why is the reference to “expert” valid in this case? 3. Simple questions to which answers would give validity to your comment 4. Again, provide proof.
I don’t agree a separate thread is needed - improved commentary with less abuse would solve the problem. It is Open Mike and these are important current issues. Anybody should be able to post contentious, but polite, views. Impolite and abusive comments ...
And good old selfishness. I didn't get it free why should they. Found it myself from older women when pregnant. I didn't get paid maternity leave, neither should you.
Actually, just drop your completely flawed argument.
Stupid question. They can apply for a benefit like everyone else if they have insufficient income to avoid starving.
Business owners have a choice. They willingly go into business. They have funds sufficient to go into business. And don't try the beneficiaries have chosen a "lifestyle" line. If life on a benefit was so cushy and attractive, everyone, including the small ...
Nah. It's nothink that gets you banished.
Me too. Depressing really.
Love your work weka.
You understand scale eh Tuppence?
Unlike you, I understand complexity and reality. Take whatever righteous stand you want, we all live in the same society. We all suffer the consequences when children, who through no fault of their own, are not supported to achieve their potential. And ...
No Meteria Turei wasn't "wrong", it is the system that is wrong. A system that is as petty and sanctimonious as you are. Anyone who is fully financially responsible for a child should be entitled to state financial assistance to adequately look after their...
With you there. But take the media out of mix. Labour can't control them. Only themselves. They should have supported Little right to the very end. Helped him deal with the media. This was the last straw and I hope they implode - along with my donation. I ...
There goes my vote for Labour. Disgusted with caucus. Wish I could get my donation back.
Seem to be hell bent on turning NZ into a one party state
"Demand"? No, dreaming of real journalism and admitting that is too much to ask. Then, accepting we sadly live in a time of crap msm, further horrified by the awful bias. Simple really.
Thanks for the great link. I would have missed the best rebuttal I have read to Mclauchlan's review, and I discovered Kiri Allan (better late than never). Both far more inspiring and hopefull than Mclauchlan. Even if not as funny.
Weka, Well the conversations have moved on somewhat, but I want to at least pay you the courtesy of a reply. We will have to agree to disagree on the use of the word "bash". I continue to see it as an implied accusation of aggressive behaviour from Labour ...
As is usual with discussions/arguments, it is often the tone and the language used that reflect the view being expressed, rather than the exact words written. To me, when you say things like "It looks like Labour are willing to bash those they see as being...
It gets complicated when other people decide if "you support civil rights or not".
