Why would anyone want to go to the USA anyway? It's looking more and more like a police state. Canada in contrast looks remarkably civilised.
I used to teach high school science. I will never teach again now, my practice certificate has expired and I have no desire to redo my 1 year post grad diploma. The main reason for stopping teaching was the disrespect shown by students. Who learned it from...
It's a total green wash by this cynical government. They won't put the money in to actually make it happen. And PFNZ ignores dogs and cats. So it's complete bollocks from the start. They have a nice website though.... The money spent on the website, staff ...
But does it really matter Weka? The difference between millions of years and 10,000 years is massive. Anyone who disagrees with evolution for reasons of ignorance or religion still disagrees with evolution. The end result is the same.
I think they can't see it JanM because the neo liberals that were part of it are still in control of Labour caucus. They're still there. Which is IMO why they have not addressed the problem. And that exactly right there is why I will never support nor vote...
Oh FFS Do you seriously expect 16 and 17 year old kids to have a reasonable understanding of the economy and what jobs are in demand? And do you really think that schools are supplying that information? Because you know what? They f***ing aren't. We used ...
Thank you Red Blooded. Thinking skills are a key skill in the curriculum. At least, at secondary level where I used to teach science and geography. This idea that national standards has removed that is concerning. AFAIK thinking skills are also central to ...
Me too. And they're hopelessly incompetent and arrogant. Ugh. Can't stand that aspect of Northland.
I have not once seen a man say the solution to the problem of overpopulation is to force all men to have vasectomies. Not once. That would work though. I don't think it's an okay solution, but it's just as invalid as forced abortion or contraception on ...
OMG I seriously do hope you're being sarcastic Richard! I see a couple of comments here from men about women's reproductive issues. How about you guys just go get vasectomies and stop even faintly considering the option of forcing abortion or any other ...
You do realise that ACC and the Super Fund can sell the shares in five years time? To anyone they like? Did you even read the OP?
You've left some ridiculously nonsensical comments here pdm I've used Kiwibank for all my business banking for years now. I love them. When I call with a query I get a Kiwi, here in NZ, who knows our systems and helps me. I hardly have to wait very long ...
Conveniently ignoring all the instances where women are overlooked and not selected because they're women. But then, we keep being told that never happens. Or rarely happens. Women just don't put their hands up, don't want to be selected or just aren't as ...
If everyone who comes up with a new idea, and in our new digital world apps are the big new ideas, has it taken away from them and made a co-operative or taken away from them and the government owns it, then I'm pretty sure entrepreneurs aren't going to ...
With two very horrible candidates I am bemused why so many Americans just switch off and don't vote. There are alternatives. Jill Stein? It's only a two party race because most people think it's a two party race. And because the media reinforce that view. ...
A fair point. I missed that. Probably because it was fairly low key as you say. And also because I've just had enough of this shitstorm that is the US elections. I wish they'd get it over with already.
I was always quite distressed to see my female students calling each other "bithes" and "ho's". I asked them if they knew where that word "Ho" came from. They didn't! I told them. They just didn't seem to care. It looked to me like they were aping American...
Exactly. And it prevents us from addressing the cause of the behaviour. Which is those who engage in it and the aspects of our culture which effectively condone it. It's a continuum. From sexist language and behaviour (which women engage in too to a ...
Oh FFS. You want to trot out one stupid bloody "study" which shows how women use language? And that proves what exactly? That women are worse than men? It wasn't women who have abused me in my lifetime. It was men. I've never been groped, raped, or ...
I agree, and I'm old enough to have the confidence to stand up for myself. I genuinely don't give one fuck what sexist men think of me, in fact I'd rather they dislike me. However, I have learned recently to my distress that when directly confronted by a ...
Like a great many women and a fair amount of men too, I'm disgusted (but not surprised) with the misogyny expressed by Trump. While he's trying to brush it off as "just talk" the media is ignoring a charge of child rape against him recently filed in New ...
"Now we are being forced by record low interest rates at the banks to become gamblers instead of savers" I absolutely disagree. No one is being forced into debt. If you can't afford it, don't bloody well buy it. That includes owning a home. You'll have to ...
Even if there were, consider this. If the child was a result of rape the mother may not know the fathers name. If the father was abusive and the mother needs to have no contact with him for her safety, then not naming him helps her to be safe. Naming him ...
I'd swallow that more easily if they were more upfront about it. I'm still to see Labour come out and publicly state that Rogernomics was a failure, and make any apology to their voters for their massive betrayal. I lived through those years as a Labour ...
Whoah. I mis spelled his name. It was a spelling mistake, not any disrespect intended to David. Who I like and would fully support... except I think he's in the wrong party. I never said infighting was reserved for neo liberals either. YOUR disrespect ...
Really? News to me. I thought their sabotage of Cunniliffe was rather indicative of the remaining neo liberal ideology within Labour.
Bagrie is right on that. The return for those who are prudent and trying to save (for a home? for anything!) rather than getting into debt is absolutely pathetic. I see the monthly interest payments on savings and wonder why on earth I'm risking it leaving...
You're right of course. The blame really lies at the feet of ideology in this instance. And human greed. Because Labour started it, National accelerated it. Which begs the question, why should we expect Labour to do anything differently?
Here's the thing though about our property market. It's in a big bubble. A very big very inflated bubble. Bubbles are driven by greed, and fuelled by debt. This one is fuelled by private debt, levels which are now higher than 2007 just before the GFC. Once...
Good vid. Thank Adam.
"gives the impression that I am questioning the integrity of her vocation and her choice around that" No. It gives the impression that you think she's lying because she's a stripper. Just a woman stripper. That sounds like a "sorry - not sorry" non apology...
