TROLL Jimmy boy. The biggest Billy Goat Gruff is coming.
Amen to that Incognito. This is the disposable society and people are part of that callous and unfeeling approach. If we continue to treat others as if they are a used nappy then we will move in ever-diminishing concentric circles, finally disappearing up ...
By a country mile!
I am heartily sick of people, Nat supporters or not, who come on to this blog with the express purpose of dumping a pile of turds and letting the smell drift over everything. These are people who are never happier than when putting a stick into someone's ...
Ok Duke, but, to be fair Biden says everything about Trump without actually mentioning the name. Click off the front page and it's all there in red white and blue.
Nicely put 'unknown'. The Dodo is a fine example of what could happen if you are too trusting or too exposed. However, the level of sophisticated understanding of relationships which we humans are capable of does put us outside the poor Dodo's plight. One ...
And then there's kindness. A word which is often dropped in or even sprayed around, mostly be people who don't know its true meaning, and who rarely if ever display it in their lives. Friendly, generous and considerate - that's what it means, and is the ...
Amazing how far a thread will move, meander and drift from the original post. It's like a craft, pushed hither and thither on the tide of vicissitudes, anchorless and vulnerable to forces from all points of the compass. Very little of the 90+ comments ...
Yeah, I've heard Paulo speak. He came as a guest speaker to our organisation - in West Auckland - and he's a boring, conservative, religious, light weight flunkey with just a touch of self promotional arrogance. Not sure they'll go for him down there. It's...
Hmmm . . . given the margin for error we could be looking at 51 vs 37, and the rest don't matter at all.
The bus boys at smoko time.
I tear my hair out GWS There are 2 sentences here. 1. Those who can do. 2. Those who can't preach. This how it could or should be written to give the best clarity. "Those who can, do - those who can't, preach." or "Those who can, do. Those who can't, ...
Well Gosman, law changes need to happen, despite the fact that we appear to have fairly stringent ones already. This guy came from Australia, where he couldn't get the weapons he needed, then obtained them here and did his ugly business in our country. I ...
With reference to the recent tragedy in Christchurch, I highly recommend the following article by Paul Brislen. https://www.newsroom.co.nz/2019/03/17/492557/how-to-make-big-tech-do-the-right-thing These people are the real ogres by standing passively by ...
Far-ka-nora!!! That interview was pure entertainment Cinny. Or it would be if he wasn't so serious about what he says. And he calls Cullen sly! I don't know . . . the worry is about the sheeple who will swallow that as gospel. He may well get enough boss ...
Not a memo - a subjective comment by a journalist on Newshub . . . Newshub FFS. The wonderfully rational and objective employer of Richardson and Garner. Oh . . . BTW, did you read the link? I read yours.
OK James, I had you pegged as someone of intelligence, but you keep denying me that view by your constant undying loyalty and borderline sycophancy in terms of the National Party. 1. The government has done nothing yet but has clearly signalled a time ...
Many people on this thread have said it in different ways. The way ahead for Mark Taylor is fairly straightforward. 1. Recognise he is a NZ citizen and acknowledge that we are responsible for him. 2. Make no effort to repatriate him at our cost. 3. ...
'Misandrist' - no wonder I couldn't find your spelling in the dictionary.
Wowee! Having seen the 2 posted interviews by Chris Cuomo and Larry King, and also having listened to Kim Hill interviewing Christie, I have to say as an overall comment that if I had done something really bad, and I was in a whole heap of shit, I would ...
Take a broad view Mr Gosman and think of Kiwibuild as a cog in the whole gearbox of society where all things interface and operate smoothly for the good of all. This government is about fairness and a good suck of the sav for all. Trouble with neo-...
It's a fact. Look it up if you don't believe BM. Don't be lazy.
No Tamati, this ain't fog. He is to be admired for his acuity. What a shame it is so one-directional.
Don't know why you're having an argument between developmentalism vs. neo-liberalism. Neither seem particularly appealing to me. I looked up the former, and it isn't what it first appears to be when looking at the word in face value. 1 Any of various ...
Well OneTwo - One thing's for sure, he's a helluva lot funnier than you.
Scott, I have to say from agonising personal experience that dealing with our dearly beloved Auckland Council is not something i would wish on even my worst enemy. Having dealt with them over a personal subdivision I was creating by knocking a piece off ...
I am left Ad, and I have no sympathy for China and the way it operates in the world. China is a self-professed 'world leader', in that it intends to be top dog in every aspect of world interaction - politics, sport, commerce, technology and I suspect in ...
I am often able VV, and sometimes listen. There's something about Jesse that grates with me, and for the life of me I cannot put a finger on what it is. He is better on The Project, probably because he can be himself more in that medium. Why you abhor Jim ...
Somebody needs to put their finger in the dyke!
Delightful summary of the reality of National, Sanctuary. You have encapsulated the ethos and the MO of these unappealing people. My only criticism of your summation is that I believe the core support for these arrogant rejects is closer to 40% - ...
I have similar thoughts and experiences as you Marcus in regard to our dear Maggie. I have to say though that arrogance never arrives out of nothing. There's no doubt that exposure to adulation over time can lead to an arrogance and feeling of entitlement ...
