The NZ Women's Islamic Council Oxfam Opposition Parties and Advocacy Groups. Wow, you've really scraped the barrel to justify your headline on this one.
You mean like when Israel withdrew from Gaza? [TheStandard: A moderator moved this comment to Open Mike as being off topic or irrelevant in the post it was made in. Be more careful in future.] [lprent: FFS -banned for 16 weeks. I really don't have time to ...
"NZ left parties and individuals have been highly critical of eg: Ahmadinejad for years, including here on this blog." Where on this blog has there been condemnation of bans on Israeli citizens visiting the countries listed in the same manner as the ...
Draco posted a Twitter post. LPrent made it look all tasty. Problem was, it contained glaring factual inaccuracies. There...simple enough for you?
He's got a point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_rocket_attacks_on_Israel [TheStandard: A moderator moved this comment to Open Mike as being off topic or irrelevant in the post it was made in. Be more careful in future.]
"Now, he could declare all those nations an enemy of the US and he might have a leg to stand on for banning people from there." Why? His beef seems to be with some very specific citizens of those countries, not the countries themselves. Seems like s blunt ...
"He’s doing that, is he?" Debatable, but that's his intent. The hypocrisy Steve highlights is not debatable.
Just pointing out some facts, OAB. Your association with reality was always tenuous.
Steve Wrathall posed two questions. 1. Why should English condemn Trump for protecting US security when other presidents have also banned certain nationalities? e.g. Carter-Iran, Obama-Iraq, and 2. And where is the condemnation of the 16 nations that ban ...
Steve wasn't referring to anti-semitism. He was referring to the hypocrisy of criticizing the US policy and not criticizing the exact same policy exercised by other nations against Israeli citizens. If you can show where they have been called out, address ...
Then there's the 2006 UNC SUV attack by Mohammed Reza Taheri-aza - an Iranian.
Also forgot to quote this: "In addition, Iran,[31] Kuwait,[32] Lebanon,[33] Libya,[34] Saudi Arabia,[35] Sudan,[36] Syria[37] and Yemen[38] do not allow entry to people with evidence of travel to Israel, or whose passports have either a used or an unused ...

The lefts definition of hate speech is any comment they disagree with.
"I know that is what you think you are doing. But you are not." No, that IS what I'm doing. If someone makes a mistake and they're never told, how do they correct it? Did you go to school? To university? Do you work? Have you never been told you did ...
I'm quoting from official stats. You are spinning.
Also – if you check the reference above, you will see the graph that shows the unemployment comparison between 4 recent downturns. The graph shows that the downturns that occurred post 1984 have resulted in a far shorter period of rise in unemployment. I ...
You have made claims you cannot support. You have already been warned by the moderators for resorting to personal abuse. Go away, have a cold drink, and re-engage when you can behave like an adult.
" Ive called your bluff and find you full of shit." You haven't called my bluff on anything. I'm not giving personal information out. My question to you was not personal. You're simply evading. "First of – I wouldn’t waste my time chasing round after bogus...
"5% is certainly high compared to a full decade in the 1970s." Why chose the 1970's? In the 1930's the unemployment rate reached 12%, and that was a far narrower measure than today. And the rate of unemployment in 1983, just before this 'neo-liberal ...
So you can't support your claims?
"Despite an alarming drop in home ownership under the current government..." Cite? Home ownership in NZ peaked in 1991, and has been steadily declining ever since. http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/money/70240843/nz-home-ownership-at-lowest-level-in-more-...
"Oh yes… its ‘ weta’…getting a little touchy , aren’t we now?" No, but as there is another poster here called 'Weka', I'm just saying you should get the detail correct. But you avoided the question: "Perhaps you can explain to me the difference for a ...
"You still haven’t fronted up about ‘ who ‘ you do your ‘ voluntary ‘ work for and your material assets and cashflow that enables you to be a ‘ voluntary ‘ worker ." You haven't asked me. And I wouldn't tell you, simply because I wouldn't risk you turning ...
More ad-hominem bullshit. Still no actual evidence to support your claims.
"“Disdain” – a learned behaviour for some of those lifeforms." Yes, I agree Bloke does display that, and frequently.
"Yes." I would rather they know and learn, so they avoid making such decisions a second time.
1. NZ does not have 'neo-liberal' economic management. If we did, we would not have half the social spending we have now. 2. Unemployment was far higher in the 1930's than it is today. "At the depth of the Depression, New Zealand had approximately 80,000 ...
"But it is the most effective and efficient, particularly if it provides security of tenancy and is maintained well. " Says who? Security of Tenancy is guaranteed with private ownership because 10 year leases are taken out. Maintenance is carried out by ...
WETA, not Weka. (There is another contributor here who uses the pseudonym 'Weka'. At least attempt to get the basics right). Perhaps you can explain to me the difference for a person requiring social housing whether the state owns the house or you do.
"what a skewed attitude you have for the homeless," In what way?
