Are they going to be putting the interview up on the RNZ site soon? Small niggling concern that they may not put it up.
@dale It might be difficult with ones natural inclination to defend ones own privilege, but this video might be useful for understanding why reverse racism is bullshit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw_mRaIHb-M It might also explain (with modifications) ...
The irony is they made fun of the multi colour/ multi ethnic life boat, the inclusive one. National, side with Aryan superiority . . . . It's pretty damn close to self satire.
No Pleasants name was not in the public arena in connection with non existent leaks to the Labour party until Collins gave it to Slater to use in baseless accusations. But keep arguing theoreticals, that have nothing to do with the examples like Lier Key. ...
Yeah there are a lot of countries with varied implementations of inquisitorial law as it is the most wide spread form of "Justice." It is serviceable and has a number of advantages for rape cases. Due to it's wide spread nature there are inherently more ...
Yeah besides France and Italy's mixed system only back waters such as Germany, Netherlands and Japan practice Inquisitorial courts. The most wide spread form of Justice is obviously in the minority as we don't really count the world outside of the English ...
The GCSB has been allowed to run riot under a crony, while it seems also to have had a major shift un focus under the current government to act as a poodle for the US NSA. Serving several masters is obviously deleterious to effective conduct: And in this ...
I'm sure you can provide a citation when and how saudi style shariah law is applied within a commonwealth state that follows a tradition of British common law. So British that it is fact in a time warp where rape is defined as only vaginal penetration. ...
@Ennui Yeah you sort of miss the point that in combating insurgency we have to be seen, perceived and actually win hearts and minds by avoiding shooting randoms, detaining randoms and generally avoid pissing off the people we're obstinately helping. I like...
@Ennui Winning hearts and minds, engendering Civilians to look on our presence as a "good" and for them not to switch to insurgency and kill UN and NZ defence force pers. Being the Good guys in fact as well as name, being a "New Zealander" should not stop ...
It might be a expansion to include the GCSB, but the NZ army has previously operated overseas with it's own Intelligence pers and Electronic warfare detachments from the Signals Corp as part of "peace keeping forces." Uniformed "spooks" have been integral ...
Your bigotry is as horrific as your Misogyny and pathetic as your chicken hawk tendencies. Not all Muslims are bad just most of them according to the misrepresentation of them with in Gosmans odious little mind. wiki surface primer on how divergent and ...
No that's a projection GOS, Islam is not a monolithic entity anymore than Christianity, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism (any religion is) ect ect is. Like Christianity and Buddhism any single interpretation basis of belief does not long survive the ...
The Ottomans had the first Kingdom of saud (Salafist or whahabi) destroyed with the execution of Abdullah bin Saud after his capture by Egyptian (only nominally under control by the pasha in Istanbul) forces in 1818. Your points are not relevant stepping ...
You are conflating the Ottoman Empire with the early Caliphate under Abu Bakar, Umar or Uthman and the Umayyad Caliphate all in two sentences. . . A magnificent butchering of history, well done. You have just as much grasp of the complexities of the region...
@Colt45 Are you inferring a link between those in poverty being shafted from multiple vectors in a society that is increasingly predicated on inequality? Mate welcome to western thinking/discourse in the 19th century[and present day New Zealand]. Haere mai...
Did they stop teaching comprehension when you were at school? Or did you just not pay attention then or now? "I have never donated to the leadership race of @DavidCunliffeMP or to Labor, or the Greens, or NZ First. I support the #InternetParty!"
So we should just not pull up liers. One should never confront a lier at all . . . Sod that if some one talks bullshit like BM he should be pulled up on it. Tracey bothered to and highlighted how much of a lier BM is, it is proper and right.
So emulating Crassus stand over tactics to gain wealth/land most of which Plutarch declares Crassus got "by fire and rapine, making his advantage of public calamities". Is thinking outside the box? Or it's a goddam attempt at rort just as it was during the...
Boot camps are asinine as they are drawing from a experience and a solution to integrate traditionally boys and young men into military organisations. A boot camp leading to nowhere is utterly vestigial. The fact that PTSD troops are finding it less than ...
Nothing you said proves that running hospitals as businesses "keeps costs" down. The American/USA experience with free market health does indicate that health sector as profit increases costs without a corresponding increase in efficacy.
One of the constant refrains against allowing women equality is the use of the language of meritocracy. It's paradoxical until you realise that the concept of meritocracy is used as a fig leaf for structural inequality. You'll see things like biological ...
Meritocracy was coined by Young as the process which the oligarchy would redefine (and in the 50s were in the process of) it self as one based on merit, really through structural inequality. The 50s of course being an era of white masculinity. The word ...
Meritocracy was originally a description of the negative outcomes on Western society. Please read The rise of the meritocracy, 1870-2033: An essay on education and inequality M.Young 1958. Meritocracy was and is dressing up inequality with a veener of "I ...

The shape of a general item was not what the litigation was about or the patents that Apple is suing for. . .
Sorry 1/a is personal not logistics the entire point of Staff officers and the professionalisation was to counter act the "amateur" nature of Battalion/Regt/Brigade command officers who tended to be landed gentry/upper class. Simplistically it's a parallel...
The American political system does not have it's origins informed by Prussian deployments of a professional officer class and the standisations used by Staff officer institutions and concepts. Prussian staff designations a=Logistics b= Intelligence c = ...
How does apples GUI innovations crib from Amiga's GUI when Macintosh's and it's OS ( indevlopment since 79 and in market 84) predate the Amiga 1000 (85)?
This is a bit of a straw man as the Samsung emails presented in court show Samsung was copying Apples UI, even more damning is the Google emails to Samsung pointing out they need to differentiate their stuff as it is too similar to apples designs. Windows ...
Within NATO, friendly units are represented as blue, so USAF units shooting up British army units due to friendly fire is blue on blue. (NZ also uses NATO map symbology inspite of not being a part of NATO). That allies such as the Afgan government unit are...
