"Patriarchal societies a social system in which males hold primary power and predominate in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social privilege and control of property." In NZ men do hold primary power. Men dominate politics. With only now ...
Again, you have misinterpreted my words. I choose my words very carefully. Picking when a market MAY crash is something that technical analysis can do. But it cannot do that before it begins, only after it has begun. After the high, after some downwards ...
To be clear, I did not say I can predict a crash. I said that I can identify a potential crash after the markets have turned. Once price begins to come down there are many indicators which can point to the probability of a full bore bear market continuing ...
Where I live theres a wee subdivision right by the water, an estuary. Very close to a surf beach. The last sections to be built upon are less than 1m above the high tide mark. The lowest section barely 30cm above. And its right by the water, right there! ...
I still see councils allowing subdivision right beside the sea. And people actually building houses right beside the sea. Clearly, too many people either don't think the earth is warming, don't care, or don't think sea levels will rise in their lifetimes. ...
FFS BM that's just bloody offensive The fact is that whenever and wherever women are given cheap or free access to contraception and access to abortion on demand, and allowed the respect to make their own decisions on how to control their fertility, the ...
Okay, thought about it for a few days, and have to weigh in with my 2 cents worth here because the OP covered two markets of which I am intimately familiar; US indices and the Gold cash market. I've been analysing these markets daily for 10 years now. I'm ...
Interesting how non GP members like to tell the GP and it's members what they "should" do. Pretty sure that I and most other GP members disagree with you. That's how the party works dude. The GP decisions and actions are decided by it's membership.
The backlash to #metoo is well underway.
One glaring common denominator of the places Trump called shitholes, is they're predominantly populated by non white people. And Trump has spouted plenty of racist crap. Remember the Mexican immigrants as rapists? And Africa is a continent. Not a fucking ...
FFS plenty of women who attend music festivals and concerts get sexually assaulted it's a thing, and women know it very few of them will make public what has happened to them and so as a man instead of telling me my risk assessment is wrong, how about you ...
this is a big reason why I'll never attend a music festival, and in fact will very rarely attend any pubic music anything it is simply not safe for women to do so I'd like to think I'd have the courage to thump any man who tried to grope me, I sure do have...
Also those getting National Super while having plenty of private wealth and income. While those of us now working and paying taxes are told there will be no National Super for us when we retire. They seem to think it all went into a big kitty to be saved ...
"Finally! In fact…only persons who are now, or have been in the past, capable of pregnancy should be allowed to discuss this issue. So, if you haven’t got, or had at some stage a womb…butt out. Its really none of your concern." I totally and completely ...
There's a new few sections down the road from me, one of them barely 1/2 a metre above sea level and right by the water on the estuary. Close to a big surf beach. The people building these homes on these sections must surely deny the evidence of climate ...
Thank you. For giving us some space. Usually our voices are silenced with hatred.
I don't think so. I was a victim of pedophiles at Centrepoint in the '80's. I see it's happening again right now in a commune in the south island. I've had instances of sexual harassment as recently as a year ago (I live in a very small town and don't ...
Well, I think that the responsibilities to provide a habitat fit for purpose is more important than the rights of property owners to do as they choose with their properties. Or, another way to put it, you and I can do whatever we please with our properties...
while you are right in that a landlord giving a tenant notice to leave after the tenant complains by issuing a 14 day notice would be considered retaliatory by the TT, the reality in a market where long term rentals are hard to come by is quite different ...
I'm tired of watching the "great art" of men who are abusers. I'm speaking here of movies. Outside of movies to me it really doesn't matter. I'll still enjoy Picasso for example. But the older I get the more I notice the movies put out by these Hollywood ...
"Abuse is not the end of the world.It is how you deal with it that matters not the fact that it happened." Way to go to minimise the effect of sexual abuse of kids. Nope. Not bloody buying it Shona. No, it's not the end of the world as you so blithely put ...
"His victim was sexually experienced" should be: "his 13 year old victim was already abused" There. Fixed it for you. FFS 13 year olds are CHILDREN. Adults having sex with children? Pedophiles. And you don't have to have that 13 year old grow up and ...
FFS what a shitty trivialising comment to make to the many victims of sexual abuse and harassment
I've seen this comment before, and I just can't tell you how much I am vehemently opposed to this idea. Debt is taken on as a choice. Willingly. No one is forced to take on debt. Every time Auckland valuations rise (now happening in other parts of NZ too) ...
Sav Cab in my case... also without due appreciation....
True. Except that generation needs to take up the reins and engage. It's right there guys... right in front of you for the taking. If they don't go and bloody well vote then they'll get more of the same. If Jacinda Ardern with all her youth and positivity ...
I think it may be more like half that. If this data is correct then we have a net gain of 214,200 over the last 9 years. Mostly from India and China. I like data. And I like accuracy. So I'll provide the link.
Oops! Sorry folks. Mixing you up and all. And when I see Katipo... I keep thinking Kakapo :-)
I'll donate it to Women's Refuge thank you very much. We're not all assholes. But yeah, many of us are. A nasty small mean minded lot I see around me. Thanks internet. I can now see what my neighbours really think. And its not pretty. We will get the ...
Have you read Neil Postman's "Amusing Ourselves to Death"? It's a great little read about how technology changes public discourse. From pen and paper and snail mail, to the telegraph, to radio, to television. It stops there because it was written in 1985. ...
"The real problem is lack of civics teaching" But that's just not true Weka. I used to teach high school; senior biology and geography, and social studies to years 9 and 10. I know our electoral system and government systems are taught, because I taught ...
