"Likeable". Jesus wept.
I want to agree... Somewhere... But I can't seem to find the point you're making. Can you clarify? (Genuine q)
I thought it was pretty unauthentic to have American-accented kids banging on about how "kiwi" they were. Piss off, you haven't bothered to live here long enough to make an attempt at the accent, you have no idea what you're talking about. (And no, this ...
It's amazing they can run a whole article without bothering to ask if there's any truth to the statements. Not that Nats would admit that there is, but it would be journalistic to get them to deny it. Surely?
Holy heck, that's huge. And yes, I'm surprised the Herald ran it. Imagine the risk of lost revenue for them.
Is that real???
This is an excellent and crucial watch. The doctor in question argues only facts. The scariest bit is that these clinics place the onus of medical knowledge on the confused child. It's a vicious ploy for money. -meant to reply to comment 1 -
Navigates, not negates
It's that a point in favour of Nats or against?
I feel for you Barfly and others. The anxiety is horrible, I remember it. Often it is worse then the reality, so please try to take some solace from that. I'm fortunate enough to have transcended worrying about money now. I had a massive life-and-death ...
Russell Howard, proper comedy. Weka's right, it is worth it. He even negates the trans discussion pretty well.
They may even try to use the mode, or a modal band. That is, the brand with the greatest number of individuals, becoming the average. That would girls a vastly lower income that any unrepresentative mean.
Of course the Nats are betting on ignorance and greed. It's all they've ever done and all they are capable of. That's why we need civics education. If people actually knew what they were voting for, the Nat voting base would be in the teens, if that. A ...
God forbid this country's natural beauty is left unspoilt for the people that live here. I'd go further than unbelievably stupid and say it's catastrophically malevolent. It's like they truly want to ruin the place, they obviously see that. They simply ...
How likely is it that LP would side with the Natz to block any serious attempt at radical reform? Serious question. Mickey? Ad? Is this where it's at or...?
That's exactly right. Labour needs taking down a peg, given they do nothing fast when they're in, and we're out of time. A LP, GP and TPM alliance would be just the ticket. The minors to demand policy and the old LP to know how to make it happen
Thanks so much Weka! This is the post I've been waiting for! Not to mention that young people and Māori, PI and other non-white middlers don't answer polls and will outnumber boomers this year. Don't believe the idiotic right wing predictions, theyalways ...
Genuine question: Is Winston a red-herring for Right voters? Eg, the Professor Snape of NZ politics? What I mean is, campaigning on issues that attract rabidity, heat, ire, vitriol and hate - with no intention of ever implementing them? Look at immigration...
And the ‘what is a woman' question. Don’t forget Phil Goof’s ‘show me the money’ moment - even I laughed out loud at that!
I love it. I’m in Welly, where I wish we could instate Tmatha Paul’s idea - pull up the roads and reinstate the rivers. Canals for transport, local swimming holes for eeling and bathing. Better than Venice.
Just got an email form the GP in this very thing. What’s not to like? Even righties like this, don’t they? Today we are announcing our plan to redesign cities and towns so they work for people and the planet, rather than cars and corporations. But I need ...
Beautiful idea. In fact, if anyone has ever been to Switzerland, that’s how they live anyway. It’s brilliant, you don’t even need a car (but they have one for holidays etc). People are happier, healthier, thinner, more relaxed and generally ‘better’. I ...
Could we have more stories and posts which counter-narrate the idiotic “death spiral” rubbish that’s infected the MSM? We all know too well how self-fulfilling these kinds of ‘prophesies’ can become. Good stuff MS and TS!
Can someone explain: The whole media is tending toward some kind of fait accompli that Labour et al will lose. Based on polls. Then they say that the polls will influence the vote anyway and make it a self fulfilling prophecy. I remember they said it last ...
That’s the clapback I’ve been looking for for years! Great answer WEKA, I’m stealing it! Us vs winners and losers. Brilliant.
Need? I said they deserve. Everyone deserves more than 'basic' anything. Would have thought you agreed with that.
I meant us commenters, but may as well apply to everyone. It's a bit spurious to claim that I don't know all, I probably know more than you'd expect.
I went to a citizenship ceremony last night, and the depth of new kiwis was humbling. I thanked them and welcomed them home, they are more deserving than almost all of us.
Nope. Winston loves Winston more than he hated Seymour, you'll see.
This is beyond sick. It's not 'interesting', it's catastrophically hazardous. It's the reason aliens don't bother to contact us – we simply aren't worth it.
All true; even so, all they were ever going to be is slightly better than petrol, and that still stands. Kicking the can slightly further, yes, but even if microscopically, still better.
