Hey Weka, I think there are assumptions in your human-focused response that aren't demonstrably true. You can hold the view that other sentient beings have no intrinsic rights that beat your desire to eat them but your reply has the effect of presenting ...
@ Solka Perhaps bullying not irony is the strong suit each of you
@ OAB and Psyhco Milt, Read what Solkta below is saying below about you, I couldn't agree more with her
Yeah, or we could just ensure better life options for them beyond unemployment.
it's funny isn't it... I was drawn to NZ's treatment, as it currently stands, of Maori.
@ James, and perhaps you should think about the implication in both Ed's and your own comment... that the reason they will never be charged is that politicians make the laws that willfully fail to illegalize profitable amoral behaviours.
The trouble with your rational assessment Ad is that again, it is only the discarded sector of the population- the untrained unemployed and under-employed- that must suffer the burden of 30years of cheaper options. let industry and its various hangers-on ...
will this be a case of the Attorney General, on behalf of etc; etc; etc; etc; etc; etc, having chosen to do the crime, now requiring the rest of NZ to have to do the time.
No. At least I would assume Ed refers to class as being the divisions that allow degrees of access to 'power'. Within that frame, it can be reasonably argued that both race and gender are subsets of class inequality.
Stand by for a 'Psycho 90' attack from 'Mars'
Is it time for you guys to address the apparent significant fall off in open mike comments. Have you successfully shut all opinions that look to challenge dogmatic and aggressively stated views of Weka, Marty Mars, Psycho Milt, Andre and less frequently ...
@Sacha 1.1 and 1.1.1.1 I notice you have offered this described benefit a number of times following Penny's comments on this matter. I can't help thinking that such curt blunt comments aren't so much intended to benefit other readers as they are intended ...
Do you read your own copy...
Perhaps it is also a last attempt to provide a legacy that was previously dependent on a continuation of much the same policies and strategies
Then I will leave it to others to form an opinion on whether this anti CV clique seeks to shut down rather than engage with dessenting viewpoints. I have no wish to be further dragged in to pedantic argument on the definition of an accusation while you ...
No Weka I don't, the meaning is clear enough, and they are observations not accusations. Your reaction is also clear... defensive and antagonistic. It is you that needs to consider more carefully what I might be talking about. There should be a better ...
The point is that there is scope for valid political debate outside of gender discrimination and by my observation this is where CV endeavoured to position the conversation, at least initially. It was you guys that seemed to insist the issue had to be ...
@MM Weka, PM, The Ex, J 90 etc, you guys appear to me to be just bullies who have undertaken an irrational, abusive and vindictive attack on CV who, at least originally, tried to discuss the matter of The Clintons, Trump and American politics. A discussion...
This is a good post, but it falls victim to a neo liberal insistence on discussing class issues in terms of race. While the racist implications are clear this is firstly an issue of class inequality. Being Maori just makes the class based inequalities ...
I am not sure that you or your two supporters know what your talking about...
Come back Paul.!!! I for one miss your reminders of what a shitty society we are.
This issue goes to the essence of democracy. Despite what you suggest RL it should at least raise our awareness of the importance of choosing when, how and if we should exercise a vote on issues that are not of great importance to us but can be of very ...
thanks Rosie
I find it really depressing that this comment, the subject of which is so integral to free citizenship, can't raise a single comment in reply. What does that say ?
@ weka, I think the number beside the month is the percentage not the date.
I agree with that, my comment related to the supposed "lazy sods who chose not to vote in a general election. Until there is an ability to vote for 'none of the options on offer' non voting is a legitimate action.
On a philosophical level. If you were forced to choose the exectution of one individual over another when through failure to choose they will both be executed, is it still weak to refuse to choose.
What rubbish, whose side are you on. To vote for the least bad option does little more than ensure the continuation the current range of bad options. Our responsibility is to continually voice our opposition to the choices offered. to try and force change,...
@Weka This issue appers to be an example of our discussion 1.1.1.1.1. above
Hi Weka, My point is basically one of solidarity in the pursuit of equality.Negotiated concessions to identity factions within the framework of neoliberalism acts to undermine the position of other disadvantaged in ways that make the concession politically...
Weka my point is: - that within neoliberalism the identity or any clique within the identity that gain success have not "won" that success but have been allowed it within a managed power framework. The extent and the terms of that success are always ...
