So why did the cakemaker feel the need to refuse service outright spelling out their human rights violation? Plenty of other time-honoured excuse options out there. Reeks of manufactured outrage and an agenda for publicity. Perhaps they noticed the recent ...
Nothing wrong at all. The store's FB page and social media posts should definitely include the truth about their ethics, so everybody can choose when they shop, not retrospectively. Honesty is ethical, and I'm sure the word will spread. There will be ...
The cake design might have celebrated their relationship visually, as so many straight cakes do? You know, with the 'figures' on top. Or maybe they just wanted to attract negative attention for their wedding. Those crazy gay folks! Edit: snap mickysavage ...
Right, wrong, such wobbly words! But "No homosexuals served" must be added to all store advertising, to be ethical and honest. Just like the old days when those OTHER folks sometimes didn't know their place, you know? Then the free market will decide...
TOP/Morgan had unrealistic expectations of quick political success as well as all the other personal issues - look at the histories of existing political parties (eg Greens) and see how long they took to establish themselves, and with how many parties in ...
If you want to feel disturbed, go check out the comments on Phil Goff's FB page post where he starts 'Auckland Council venues shouldn't be used to stir up ethnic or religious tensions.' One, to me, says 'Too little, too late. The awakening continues, and ...
So much deliberate misunderstanding in one reply :-D
I'd say the same thing about every single one of Gosman's posts! But I'd decline the application for the visit based on our duly-agreed laws and avoid the media (and possibly real-world) shitstorm that benefits nobody in NZ, even the people who may agree ...
Simon's 'humour' appeals to the same audience as Gareth Morgan's 'lipstick on a pig' jibes. There is a surprisingly big audience who applaud the jokes as plain speaking and anti-PC, so not even ashamed of their regressive attitudes.
Of the food available at any regular store, 90+% of it is packaged, salty sugary fatty refined food - although it should be only a vanishingly small part of our diet. The 'healthy' versions are usually twice the price and the fresh produce is often not ...

I agree about promoting fruits and veg via cost breaks, but I wouldn't trust the Institute of Economic Affairs to judge whether it's time to give up on taxation as a method of moderating consumer behaviour. Your linked article only indicated that currently...
1. Bi-partisan means two parties. National wants to regress to Nat vs Labour with Nat as the bigger party, instead of a coalition. Or if they really see Govt and opposition as two parties, their perspective is going to be no help whatsoever (no surprise ...
Yes, that's at least one of the lessons NZ ought to be taking from this instead of intensifying dairy for export. Overinvestment and overproduction is another form of protectionism. The US govt forces cheese into the food stamp programmes and into school ...

Interesting that protectionism for the dairy industry is destabilising Western trade... NZ might want to learn some lessons! Of course, for most leaders, this would be unusual behaviour, but it's pretty typical for Trump.

Hooton and Wilde are both tools. Figuratively and literally. Previously, they were consistent and uncritical Nat govt media props and now It's their job to try to destabilise the coalition government, so it would be shocking if they had any other ...
That housing waiting list of "others" wouldn't be so long and desperate without you and National, Judith. But it's nice how much you care about them, now that you have another reason to kick those awful drug-takers onto the streets where they will die ...
'Marco Springmann, a research fellow at the Oxford Martin School’s Future of Food programme, tried to quantify just how much better: he and his colleagues built computer models that predicted what would happen if everyone became vegetarian by 2050. The ...
OK :-D
Pretty sure this is to the OP, not you?
You started by calling the claims nonsense because they don't seem to address the issue you want to debate, and you said it was reasonable to a believe that even if meat were replaced by plant crops, agricultural fossil fuel use could remain steady or grow...
You earned this disrespect honestly by calling the claims 'obvious nonsense' when it is just as obvious you haven't researched the claims.
The big picture of how to sustainably feed the growing population has been documented in its various forms since at least 1971 Diet for a Small Planet. Trying to play whackamole with the emissions figure as if that were the only point under discussion ...

'The point is that it’s perfectly reasonable to imagine that meat consumption could plummet and fossil fuel use in agriculture could stay steady or even increase off the back of that.' No, that isn't reasonable - it's wishful thinking from somebody who ...
We focus on National because again and again, they make Labour look so good in comparison. Don't strain any muscles while you stretch for any plausible justification for Bennett failing to do her Social Housing job.
...And ''However in several news stories at the time Bennett and English said they approved of the Housing NZ regime. English said the agency was "rightly taking a firm stance on the health risks posed by meth, and will continue to do so for as long as it ...
A heartwarming story about the trials (literally) of those hardworking rich folks... 'Elizabeth Huljich alleges her son Christopher Huljich and her grandson Peter Huljich failed to comply with the conditions of a $750,000 loan agreement she organised for ...
Just like the Republicans in the US, I am often stumped at what outrage it would actually take to sway a National voter away from blind loyalty to the party. Documented broken promises, profligate spending, racism and the whole darned 'ism' family; plus ...
