The real issue is that relatively very few people speak maori or te reo. Many, many more people speak English only. Also, for those of us who left school prior to the mid 1990’s. And depending on how good/bad the state school we attended, weather or not ...
Please don’t link to anything Liz Gunn has to say, it’s been a long hard year, and they seem to get harder as the years go by. But anything that she says, reinforces that the people are becoming more stupid with each passing year. I’m going to listen to ...
Hi Anne, one of the indicators of a newish employee not being able to come up to speed so to speak, is their unwillingness to accept responsibility for their actions and to blame others or our systems. They also have trouble understanding differing views ...
Anne, I can only go on my life experience and from what I hear from others. I manage a team of people who are leaders of other teams. I have regular 1 on 1 meetings with my direct reports. The way I run these is a bit like a confession. What we discuss is ...
I genuinely haven’t worried about what people have said in the past. However recently certain types of people complain about what other people do/say etc and unfortunately HR start talking an interest. Even for me with my experience with employment issues,...
It’s for his daughter, bat for girls, bar for boys, I believe, and the variety of types of Jewish religions, is as varied as Christian religions. I’m not Jewish or any other religion so my knowledge is limited, along with my spelling abilities
Anne, I think that the right wing politicians spite is actually only matched by the left wing politicians spite. The most vile individual I have ever met was a PSA activist when I worked for a government department. He was almost matched by a cousins wife,...
The landlord can in some instances expect the tenants to remove anything that is overly political, like election advertising. I don’t think that we would be concerned if a tenant was asked to remove a “MAGA” display for instance. I’ve been invited to a bar...
Tobacco contains an addictive drug. We should have learned by now that prohibition on drugs leads to a uncontrolled black market. I’m absolutely sure the gangs, aka the mongrel mob, black power etc, will fully support the absolute banning of tobacco, ...
Well the Palestinian regime in Gaza did start this latest round of violence. They did so in a manner that would make even the most hardened Nazi SS feel a sense of pride. If we go back in history the Palestinian leaders have refused to agree to the ...
I really don’t understand what you’re issue is about this plenty of white middle aged men have had derogatory comments made about them, due to their race, age and gender, especially if someone believes they are on the right of the political spectrum. It ...
Israel are not murdering anyone. It’s the responsibility of the Palestinian regime in Gaza. Just like with WW2, both Germany and Japan continued to fight on until the bitter end, resulting in massive casualties of their own civilians and military. But ...
I’ve always found it interesting that certain types of people (eg bullies etc) insult people, then get upset when an insult is returned. Some people then get upset when the recipient of an insult, takes ownership of said insult and makes fun about being ...
If it’s okay to be called “A stale pale male” then surely if you actually are one, and you win an election, then you can celebrate it and describe your self as a stale pale male. But we know that is not the point. The intent behind calling someone a pale ...
I’ve been openly described as a “pale, stale male”, by several younger activist types at my company. I think initially it was because I stopped them from getting into trouble with a project that they were working on. Do what’s the issue?
NZ takes in a number of refugees from different countries. There are refugees from the Middle East and North Africa streaming into Europe. Likewise refugees from Latin America streaming into North America. Hundreds, if not thousands of refugees from Asia ...
Don’t you mean the outlaw Palestinian Hamas regime? There is no doubt that the Israeli government has done some shitty things, but if we compare the Israelis to the Palestinian Hamas regime in Gaza, the Palestinian Hamas regime are by far way worse. The ...
I have felt that something like the truth and reconciliation process that has happened in both South Africa and Northern Ireland may be the only way forward for the Israelis and Palestinians. It is 2023, millions of Jewish people and millions of ...
Hamas along with the people of Gaza, are an abhorrent society similar to Germany from the 1930’s to may 1945. For all of Israels shitty behaviour, they are the good guys in this. Unfortunately many Palestinians do not want to live in peace with the Jewish ...
Questioning Israelis right to exist, in other words, we need to find a final solution to the Jewish Israeli problem. The Germans tried that one, we bombed Germany into the ground & hung the leaders and perpetrators for their obscenity to mankind. ...
Ok so pre the formation of the state of Israel, there have been clashes between Jewish villagers and Arab villagers, including killings on both sides. There were many Arab communities in Palestine who were happy to live with the Jewish community, there ...
The Palestinians do not want to share a country with the Jews. They certainly do not want to share power with the Jews. The solution that you suggest would lead to hell on earth for the entire population, both Jew and Muslim, of that region. The Jewish ...
Back in the day, vintage windows 95, my pc keep on running slow, the tech geek told me that my brain had become so accustomed to my pc being so fast, that I was more productive, so I actually believed my pc was running slow…
When the tech geeks try to tell me why my laptop isn’t working, as I want it to, my eyes just glaze over and I go and get another coffee. But thanks I think it’s now working like it should, so don’t mess with it…..
Okay so we all know what is happening, Israel is attacking Gaza in retaliation for the attack in early October, which was in response to prior Israeli attacks on Gaza. Those earlier attacks on Gaza were in response to Palestinian attacks on Israel, because...
Well given that both Hamas and Iran have more or less said that they want the destruction of Israel, which could then mean the death of every Jew, along with Muslim and Christian Israels, numbering in the millions of people. The use of this phrase could ...
Certainly there are intolerant people, in all countries. From my experience much of the Jewish Israeli people I came into contact with, just want to live in peace. They have their religion, while others have their religion, weather it’s Christian or Islam....
I'm not too sure what you mean by your comment. I found his article very interested and informed, on both the Israel/Gaza conflict and the Ukraine/Russia conflict. I can only assume that is because the writer is not explicitly blaming the Jews Israeli's, ...
The German Nazis started the war in Europe, the Japanese started the war in Asia. The Allies finished the war, using some of the barbaric methods and worse that the aggressors used. Hamas have started this particular war with a barbaric and deliberate ...
In my view, Hamas are the Nazis, Hamas have deliberately targeted and Killed innocent civilians, just like the Nazis did during WW 2. My sympathy for the civilians in Gaza, is on the same level as the civilian victims of the bombing campaign of Germany and...
We live in a society where violence and trespassing is not considered serious. I was assaulted by a couple of guys, they got off with a police warning. I was off work for 6 months recovering from concussion. Given the states response to what happened to me...
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
