What would you suggest?
I just like to make the point that all wars are proxy fights for those in power and with money. None of the wars are for "democracy" or "decency" or "morality" or "for a better future" etc.... We are not learning seemingly, still haven't figured it out.
deleted https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Poland When did Austria divvy something up? Austria used to be a monarchy before WWI and was divvy'd up after the war ended. What do you mean? https://alphahistory.com/worldwar1/austria-hungary/ [please put...
Does this mean for the parents or kids - just being sarcastic mind you. We need somewhere to start and address this. Doing nothing is not an option.
Media is just going for sound bites. They are not trustworthy, I equate them to the same profession as car sales people. Anybody thinking they are, is very much mistaken. I don't even watch the news anymore. The language pattern used is sometimes ...
Arkie, this is very noble as a concept. But you do realise that NZ supermarkets are all Franchised? This means that the parent company demands every higher "fees" to satisfy their shareholders and this keeps the profit line always at the same % year in ...
2 wrongs do not make one right. How would you feel if you invested 20 years of your life working 7 days 12 hr weeks and some snotty kid destroy's it all for a thrill? That's all good? No, not at all. Solution: Why not get the army involved with stay in ...
Next step Burka?
Pat, if you drive through the French countryside you should pick up a paper in the next town. You might read about the concerns of the folks that have to live near the turbines and farmers who lose arable land. Also, the blades need changing on occasions ...

Do those who look constantly for handouts understand that it is tax money they demand? Who is going to pay? Or are we back to printing. https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/opinion-analysis/126261112/who-will-pay-the-price-for-the-54-billion-spent-on-...
Windmills generate extreme noise levels and you cannot escape this, it also devalues any property close by. This is for kids to discover alternative energy: https://kidsdiscover.com/teacherresources/whats-good-whats-bad-wind-energy/ N.B.: There are large ...
Abdominal pregnancy is defined as the partial or total insertion of the embryo into the abdominal cavity. It is rare, and can evolve towards the full term if it is not recognized in the early pregnancy. It carries a high risk of maternal-fetal morbidity ...
Temp ORary People who are born male and living as men cannot get pregnant. A transgender man or nonbinary person may be able to, however. It is only possible for a person to be pregnant if they have a uterus. The uterus is the womb, which is where the ...
So an "elected monarchy" then.
https://www.fishpond.co.nz/Books/Responsibility-of-Intellectuals-Nicholas-Allott-Edited-by-Chris-Knight-Edited-by/9781787355521? The USA is a hegemony not a democracy.
Religion, gets them every time.
Well, that is all fine and dandy. There were times where alleyways abortions and the trusty coat hanger method were used. So many deaths, so much pain and lifelong suffering. No one seems to talk about those realities as it distracts from the semantics. I ...
"tweaking" democracy its called. Democracy is changing, maybe to autocracy?
And who is to say that all that 3 water work is not in preparation for precisely that: privatisation.
Its not good for democracy either, but we are told that we have to "tweak" that because democracy is changing. Well, just in this country though and I don't know to what. Just as I posed I looked at Jimmy's comment.....hmmmm
I am not entirely agreeing here. What about a person that choses a trade, will the same principle of compensation apply? Are we looking for equity or equality? Because this can open an can of worms. I personally believe all education up to the age of 18 ...
This must indeed be worrying for you and I hope that you stay free of that insidious illness. We can all but cross the fingers that Pharmac gets the go ahead for better drugs to offer to all. My best wishes and stay well.
Anker, I hope you have recovered. It is quite difficult to get through this and I trust you had a support system around you. All the best.
Thank you for expressing so honestly and to the point what moves ordinary people out there. No political party clap trap. It gives me hope and made my day, I am a NZlander by choice for nearly 40 years. Talk about Universalism.....
Sorry Mike, all I see is higher costs everywhere that bite and government charges are about to increase too after FY22. The reforms that are being implemented without a mandate or even talking to those affected will cost another bundle. Who do you think ...
What has infrastructure to do with 3 waters? I mean what you need is: Skilled engineers, less red tape, including pressure points when laying pipes, choosing the right material, getting your hands on that material (!), getting the costing right, future ...
Because they promised their constituency particular outcomes and now have to deliver come rain or high water. Did I just say water? This is done even if they would lose the election. I honestly think that they know that very well and hence this lacklustre ...
That comment "tweaking democracy" or "democracy has changed" is for me the hands down motive to change to vote as far right as feasible, and I am to the core a democratic socialist. This is to make sure the pendulum swings away from those who do not ...
I think rather than tinkering around, 3 things could happen straight away with very little cost to the taxpayer: 1/ GST on levies and taxes that are payable to the government should go 2/ Trusts should be fully taxable 3/ Religious organizations are taxed ...
If you are personally confronted by it: You know the outcome. Theorizing for party appeasement counts for zero for ordinary folks that have to cope. But I challenge you to find comprehensive stats on cancer cases and deaths in NZ to date. Its like the ...
