There has never been a conspiracy theory in regard to Trump's possible control by either his financial interests in Russia or Russian collusion. There have been however, perfectly legitimate questions raised by the bizarre behaviour of Trump and people in ...
<i>"The fact that religion has been co-opted by the power of money and empire doesn’t make religion in itself bad."</i> Yes, it's unnecessary for the argument, there is a mountain of other evidence that can make the case.
Has nothing to do with racism otherwise ALL legal immigrants would be excluded. And they haven’t. I don't think you have been paying attention. Trump Admin's policy has been to make it as difficult as possible for LEGAL asylum seekers who make up the ...
One Two: There is no such thing as scientific consensus, Bollocks. Areas of scientific consensus, on many concepts, exist in most fields of science, for example. We have a scientific consensus on germ theory as mechanism explaining the causation for many ...
You really have to laugh when climate science deniers try to bolster their bullshit by invoking NASA. NASA have done the hard work in the field. The guys who can lower a car suspended from a flying crane onto the surface of Mars are quite unequivocal when ...
Well, since we are doing anecdotes. Of the total of 3 months recently in Auckland Hospitals which included three weeks in ICU following double lung transplant I found all staff, at every level, absolutely brilliant, bar one nurse on one night-shift in ICU ...
In addition, many hospital car parks [e.g. Greenlane Clinical Centre and elsewhere] were constructed many decades ago. It's not as if these require new funding to set up. Management deals by parasites like Wilsons cream off profits wholly disproportionate ...
However, rants do beget rants.
If exposure of suppressed information is the overriding objective, then it is an activity independent of further value judgement. Good or bad outcomes simply are not Wikileaks concern. That judgement depends on the observer's stance.
“What is eating Mike Hosking?” Who cares, but here's to hoping that it is insatiable.
Can somebody please spell it out for James as I'm not so good at single syllable explanations.
appleboy +100% except "If he gets deported I will abstain from voting Labour for the rest of my life" For me, Labour's stance on TPP has already assured that.
Sanctuary, you proffer a lot of considerations as to KDC's fate. Notably none of them are considerations of law or concerns about due process nor mention of consequences resultant from our state agencies repeatedly breaking the law.
Pity. This is a strategic win for Southern.
Fomenting religious violence is indeed a threat. It's just what religions do, it's part of their DNA. For some reason we seem to tolerate the practice.
I wish people would learn the distinction between America and USA.
Since the taxpayers are footing the bill to compensate Hager does anybody know the dollar figure of damages to be paid? Are taxpayers entitled to know? if not, why not?
. “but I’m sure that there won’t be” and that is why we can have no confidence that police culture ever learn anything from such abuses. It’s not those responsible’s personal money spent in commission of the abuse and for the subsequest payouts to ...
even if so it's wotaboutism
While good news, this does little to assuage my anger and outrage at the violation of Hager's rights nor reassure me that the NZ police wouldn't do it again, especially if they think the target is soft and won't, unlike Hager, fight back.
Muphry??
Notable to me is how few people have signed the petition. I haven't signed the latest of at least three on line petitions I've seen. Have the first two I signed suddenly become invalid? How many do we need? how many times do we have to sign? The only way ...
+1 Although I did give my electorate vote to a Labour candidate. Labour won't ever get even that support from me ever again. We've been waiting thirty four years for them to rediscover their values. I continued to generally support them until the end of ...
I have to admit that not even I thought Labour would pull something like this. well, more the fool you (smile). It was f*ing obvious this was going to happen, all the clues were there pre-election, torrent of weasel words every time Labour addressed the ...
hardworking net tax payers who are forced to support them. lol, it's either support them or die under their pitchforks. (or better still, make full employment a priority).
How about this for a bit of re-framing; how about we hear a few beneficiaries use the word “thanks”, and expressing gratitude to the ever shrinking pool of hardworking net tax payers who are forced to support them. Fuck off, the "hardworking" taxpayers ...
+1 Barfly The unemployed should all get medals, instead of vilification, for their sacrifices, sacrifices made in the maintenance of the low wage economy. Seriously. Medals. [if RWNJs want any rationality in their reasoning.]
The Nats will duly follow their instinct and line up behind the richest person in the room.
How about discussing the guy’s values? His strengths and weaknesses Sure, how about: clear diction is not one of his strengths. Garbled diction is one of his weaknesses. He has that aspect in common with his now absent hero, the Great Liar.
Spare a thought for USA. The entire Republican caucus despise reality as it is informed by science and demean the concept of intellectual elitism (where elitism = excellence in field, - I applaud most elites although many left leaning people use it in a ...
Organised crime and money laundering develop and flourish under certain conditions, Anne attributes those conditions to the activities of certain countries and or their agents.
