So: 1) It's not OK to jet around the world burning up fossil fuel - except when you're Al Gore of course 2) Working harder isn't a good thing, it's neoliberal 3) Being multilingual is neoliberal 4) Federer's a high earner, so is George Soros - does that ...
You'd rather the workers in Vietnam were out of a job, Macro? And what about the laptop from which you sent your post? Are you certain that wasn't put together in a sweat shop?
Mustn't criticise the Greens.
The Jerusalem Embassy Act was signed into law by Bill Clinton in 1995, passed in the U.S. Senate by 93 votes to 5. All Trump has done is act in accordance with the will of Congress, which his predecessors lacked the spine to do. It was meant to be actioned...
Go for it then, guys! Everybody here take a Manus Island refugee into your home and act as a sponsor for them until they have been taxpaying New Zealanders for a year.
It's all right Rosemary, Clark and Cullen have installed their puppet as the new leader. [lprent: Trolling and adding nothing to the discussion. Banned for 4 months ]
Of course Labour would never do that...
Perhaps this whole story is fake news...
Cunliffe was clobbered by the voters - utterly rejected, if you recall.
"I’m all for draconian and even more for very draconian when it comes to levelling the playing field." So you support forced equality of outcome, regardless of effort?
A crackdown on something that's legal? What's next - a crackdown on Mars Bars?
"smegma is the detritis that collects under foreskins" ... and vulvae.
I pay plenty of income tax. Not sure how you can 'pretend' to pay tax. IRD will let you know if they think you're pretending
"Did you realise that it can take longer getting a phone today than it did then?" Oh Jesus what planet have you been on? Today anyone can buy a cell phone and have it working a few hours later
I'm sure Mr D and the rest of us have been paying taxes for years, yet no hospital has been built... why not?
God what a trough the EU Commission is.
Trickle down, anyone?
So GG you'd spurn his offer with utter contempt, would you, because it was made by a greedy old white man?
Just gobsmacked at that comment, ropata. You probably think all business owners should be hanged.
Exactly - this is a private act of generosity, the politicians should stay in their trough and STFU.
Isn't it great that they burn all that filthy thick residue rather than leaving it to pollute the countryside?
So for you it's more about dragging down the successful, for being successful, by blocking hydrocarbon use, than raising living standards in the Third World.
Joe, according to the article you cite, she wasn't a state senator; she was a representative in the legislature (i.e. the lower house). Adrian - the same article doesn't mention her jumping to the Democrats, though her predecessor as minority leader (...
We do - it's children killing children
I hope it advances discussion - but it's only relevant if you drill down and focus on gun-mediated homicides in 'children', which in many studies includes juveniles under age 18, and thus counts gang shootings.
And Hawaii has the second lowest rate of murder (including non-negligent manslaughter) of the U.S. states... but the lowest rate is in New Hampshire, which has extremely liberal gun ownership and carriage laws. Similarly, the District of Columbia (with ...
Can't help being nasty, can you McFlock? "...most of the child deaths are suicides, not even homicides" Actually, most child deaths would appear to be due to medical conditions, gestational and neonatal problems, or unintentional injury. https://www.cdc....
"And last week the only Republican Senator jumped ship to the Democrats." Really? I don't think Hawaii has had a Republican Senator in its legislature since 2016 when the last one was defeated in an election. And there hasn't been a U.S. Senator from ...
I would bet the vast majority of these "child deaths" are teenage gang members killing other gang members.
"Moderator note – zero tolerance for climate change denial in comments. Bans will be given without warning." You heard it here first - healthy scepticism will not be tolerated!
...and would it be racist to criticise Hone Harawira for his call for the government to execute Chinese methamphetamine importers? Are drug dealers being racist by selling methamphetamine to non-Pakeha users? It's all so confusing.
