The New Testament expresses the thought: "whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." That is also what karma means "a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution...

Tragic and scandalous. And completely avoidable, but we were deceived by Rogernomes and the Business Roundtable. Typical theft of the commons by greedy elites. IMHO Asset sales have been the #1 political issue over the last 35 years, but we were ...
The silly old git was looking for trouble and trying to make a scene. Obviously succeeded in making a viral video and stirring up festering resentment in the USA. He wanted to put a big target on some white boys who had done nothing to him.
The schoolboys WERE respectful.. the elderly Native American gent went out of his way to get in their faces. They were kids on a school trip, targeted by crazy activists on two separate occasions. Or is it OK to get a free shot at school children because ...
Peter Fitzsimons is horrified at the crackpot rantings of David Moffett David, get a GRIP. You are an intelligent man. Global warming is a "UN conspiracy."??Jacinda Adern is a "traitor."This is embarassing loony-tunes twaddle, and I can't believe the man I...

Bruce is excellent, and he's challenging the Government on its own terms. Doesn't go far enough though. I would prefer it if all land was nationalised and economic rents accrued to the people rather than landlords. Income tax is inherently unjust. We ought...
Hey can you please share this with your WO pals, if you are genuinely concerned about commie infiltrators https://twitter.com/555333Phil/status/1086124613296246785
A lot of these so called mixed ownership models are socialism for the rich - pocketing subsidies from the taxpayer - e.g the accommodation supplement caused rents to jump by $50 overnight - immediately siphoned off by landlords
@wrathofgnon is awesome for those interested in human scale urbanism... https://twitter.com/wrathofgnon/status/883181352933236736
Ahhh.. gotcha.. 👍🏼
*hypocrites Also be careful of that diet: xExcess consumption of red meat has been linked to an increased risk of cancer, diabetes type 2, obesity and heart disease. But now we can add stroke to that list which is the 3rd most common cause of death. All ...
(FYI TRP it's "chameleon" you might wanna tweak the heading of this post) Sympathy to Slater and his family, here's a wonderful TED talk on stroke https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyyjU8fzEYU
The influx of credit and especially overseas capital with minimal regulation has made a lot of people (Auckland property owners) very rich - a lot of millionaires have been created in the last 20 years by deliberate government neglect - especially the last...
The problem with Auckland's Unitary Plan and governance in general is that it's captured by a noisy, well-resourced NIMBY minority https://twitter.com/BenThomasNZ/status/1087074984457981952 Bernard Hickey and Tau Henare rightly criticise the Coalition ...
the GOP still mainly supports Trump and pundits rate his chances of re-election at 70% ... the gutless Dems have to start impeachment proceedings, to restore any semblance of democracy to the beleaguered population. Most likely the US political elites will...
Maybe Trump doesn't know about the Southern Hemisphere Australia swelters in record temperatures with warmest ever night Roads melting, fish dying and bats falling from trees – this is what global warming looks like. Many records have been smashed during ...
Pavletich thinks endless sprawl is going to be a silver bullet. I respect his motives, clearly he wants houses to be affordable, but his solution is wrongheaded. No doubt most advocates of infinite sprawl are financiers, land bankers and capital gain ...

Or feminists could celebrate traditional marriage and motherhood rather than trying to be men. Most women tend to be happier that way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js20LWLbgCA
gws, I usually like your contributions. Forgive me for being harsh lately. But arkie's link implies that FF is a hate group: /fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/world-congress-families and then you started going on about Chinese re-education camps, the ...
You are making things up dude
Have to agree with Bernard Hickey on this. https://twitter.com/bernardchickey/status/1086493929833283584

Sad. I have seen only 1 monarch butterfly this summer. New Zealand is not immune to these issues
"they" being National, which is by now a fairly blatant vehicle for PRC commercial interests, authoritarian censorship, and election stuffing
I have a very critical view of Labour's neoliberal tendencies... Grant Robertson parsimoniously claiming fiscal responsibility was a serious misstep. His top responsibility is to the people of Aotearoa not his crummy little spreadsheet and certainly not to...
Doesn't negate the value of arguments for impeachment, my reputation is already shot so no worries on that front :)
No I am accusing all Governments of negligence in allowing immigration to spiral out of control in the middle of a housing crisis, making inequality even worse, and needlessly throwing thousands of Kiwis into hardship
