Hilary make great America great again? You've got to be kidding. Like you say, she's an establishment candidate and just look what the establishment has delivered to date: Internally the US is in a mess and externally involved in several wars and ...
The excuse is actually wrong. It's a myth - in both senses of the word. Well, not entirely a myth - there are cultures that are cruel but there are also a great many stone age cultures where everyone is treated with the utmost respect and where (to quote ...
So now we know what ACC's ridiculous surplus was all about.
The way we discuss the economy in this country is so profoundly stupid I struggle to find the words to describe it. No one should ever talk about what the government "can't afford" because the government isn't a little thing like a household with a fixed ...
I have read estimates of 25,000 in the main march while others were creating blockades elsewhere so it's just basic maths. I suppose if I had a methodology it would be summarised as; the MSM routinely understates protest sizes so we need to multiply their ...
After looking into this issue over the last couple of decades I've come to the conclusion that the MSM routinely downplays protest numbers - and the Herald does it more than anyone else. I remember the world wide protests before the 2nd Iraq war. On TV ...
You just prove the point of wilful prejudice...where do you get the idea of social science being less a science and therefore less valid ?! Try arguing that point with any university .
That about sums it up.
I'm with you there shorts, when France bombed Syria straight after the Paris attacks i was worried innocent cilvians would be killed. Turns out they just bombed places where ISIS had been but were now empty - so the civilians got lucky. Anyway here's ...
A lot of people seem to get lost in the detail and lose the big picture on these issues. For me I just have to answer these questions: What was the consequence of a journalist openly breaking the law to prove something was possible? Additional clue - does ...
Don't get me wrong I think this article is an excellent idea and I keep coming back to se of anything new has been added. I don't consider myself well enouigh informed to contribute my own list but am finding the lists by others to be fascinating. I was ...
Thanks for tracking down that link TRP, I should maybe review my posts a little better :-)
For anyone wanting to get more of a feel for the characters involved thsi transcripts of a Skype call between Lou Vincent and Cairn's original lawyer is quite useful. For my money, I think all we can say for sure is that the available evidence wasn't ...
Was he proven innocent or was he merely proven not guilty based on the available evidence?
Maybe we could have a second posting for people's votes on who gets put on the raft and pushed out to sea? That we can the finger pointy stuff out of our system too :-)
The other thing about Kelvin is that he got rid of Hone Harawira so the establishment in NZ will have taken note that he can be trusted.
So can I just check that I've got this summary right: The governement has pressured the Herald to change what it wrote about the government pressuring the MoE to change what it wrote. Is that it?
Why do you think this report came out today? - A report critical of the SIS came out yesterday and now this today - they're not even trying to be subtle!
I'm glad you posted this - I couldn't get past the part where they put Slater and Nicky in the same sentence!
If he turns up after we win the final I ...... actually I dont' know what i'll do, but it's getting out of hand
"a small state up against a federation of states" Yes in EITHER case we're a small state up against a federation of states. I guess if you think the EU worked for Greece you might think NZ joining Australia a good idea.
If I were Ritchie I'd be going for a restraining order since the PM seems to be actively stalking him now.
Your probably right. But as a coach you have to accept it as being innate because you can't change it in the short time you have with them. You can set limits on unsporting behaviour but other than that any attempts to force them to be who they're not ...
Sport has alwasy been a significant part of my family life and I've found that it's a great meeting place for different generations. I'm coaching my kid's teams just as my father coached mine - Dad died 4 years ago (during the 2011 Rugby world cup actually...
The first thing we need to do when discussing competition in kid's sport is recognise that the we're actually talking about two things as if they are the same. One is the inate competitiveness of each child which varies from individual to individual and ...
That is a problem in New Zealand the sports journalism is very poor. Only Andrew Alderson who writes about cricket for the Herald is any good and it's no coincidence that he's the only one I've seen who gets published internationally.
Exactly what I thought. I can just see Key and Turnbull in private having a joke about all the silly stuff that the media thinks they'll be discussing - meanwhile the staff do the work and give Key a few lines to read at the end of it all.
I know of a women who's husband died when she was aged 64 years and 11 months. He was their only source of income and she had to go on the Jobseekers benefit for one month. During this time she was forced to go to pointless seminars about how to look for ...
Usually a false flag kills ordinary people not ethnic minorities and left wingers. A likely outcome of this event is sympathy for the Kurds, plus 128 new martyrs. I can't imagine this is what establishment powers like the Turkish government and it's allies...
There's a point I'd like to make about irony but I think the moderator would probably have to ban the comment...
The difference in Cuba was they had strong central control and were able to distribute food equally while the change over to organic happened. Everyone lost weight for a while there but they got through it. I'll leave it to you to figure out how our ...
