You can't. For much of NZ's economic history before 1975 we never paid our way. Our income was largely derived from support from the UK and the wider commonwealth. That ended in the late 60's early 70's, and both Kirk and Muldoon screwed around not ...
Not only will it not happen, it SHOULD not happen. Freedom of association, including freedom to CHOOSE whether to join any association or not, is a fundamental element of a free society. The days of unions enjoying a captive income from a reluctant ...
Not sure what brought on that psychopathic response. Perhaps it was that you learned something you previously didn't know? I have sympathy for all, including the many family businesses that went to the wall. But in the end, this adjustment was necessary. ...
I don't know their names, but it estimated around 800 farms were subject to forced sales (http://www.fedfarm.org.nz/files/2005---Life-after-subsidies---the-NZ-experience.pdf). The agricultural sector generally rebounded extremely well from the loss of ...
"No, it didn’t. " Hint: 1. Read the article. 2. Check the comment at the foot about when it was written. 3. Engage brain. Back in your box.
" I suggest you learn to live without either of them: facts and understanding are far more useful." I agree. The facts are as I stated. That's how I understand the extent of the issue we face breaking the cycles of some peoples lives.
There were also many supposed 'right leaning' people burned in that process, including farmers who were forced off their land. But the changes were necessary in order for NZ to move on from loss of traditional export markets, the and damaging effects of ...
So now you start on with this rape culture bollocks. "I’m suggesting strongly that if you disagree with someone here that you put up an actual argument." I have, but for the slow of mind, I will repeat. Trump is surrounded by accusations of sexual ...
Who argued there are no links? Do you do thick as a stand up? My argument is simply that this is a matter of personal responsibility. NZ has one of the most generous welfare systems in the world, near full employment, and near free education and healthcare...
It's data. You don't like the result, that's all. "A weekend police survey discovered only two beggars were actually homeless and the others were bringing props and even dogs to help them appear poor. The survey was conducted in Hamilton, on New Zealand's ...
No, doesn't wash with me. If someone touches my daughter inappropriately, they will feel the brunt of my response. I don't care who they are. If you would act otherwise, you are a pathetic piece of work. In all of this, you still haven't answered the ...
If they are true, they should (at least most of them) come out a long time ago. The timing is dirty.
"Um, Manuka just gave you an explanation in the comment you just replied to." No, he didn't. He spoke about a 'trigger'. He not only got the timing wrong, he failed to explain why the numerous historic cases against Trump were also not 'triggers'. Until an...
" Are you aware that one of “these women” was a 13 year old girl at the time?" One of them.
Sounds a lot like 'dirty politics' to me.
I have had no explanations relevant to this case. None. Your latest rant doesn't even address my point, which is the wording 'unexpectedly remind them'. You cannot argue that on one hand this has been a traumatic event, and on the other that something ...
And none of them wash. Why have they only come forward NOW? Days before an election, when there is no opportunity for him to defend himself in court?
"What are you talking about?" Your hypocrisy. For pointing out something that happened in 1993 when the most recent example was far more relevant (Kim Dot Com), but didn't sit you leanings. Chuck called you on it, and rightly so.
How can something "unexpectedly remind them of it" after such an event? Surely if they remember the incident so well they have been dealing with it all that time. Besides that, you're wrong. Allegations against Trump have been around for years. The first I...
"What hypocrisy?" Do i really need to quote you again? "NZers don’t take kindly to being told by rich people how to do democracy." Who were you talking about Weka? "If the rules currently say that rich people can donate to political parties, then I think ...
So why weren't they 'empowered' earlier? Why just a few weeks before an election?
Context? Like Clinton operatives discussing creating violence at Trump rallys? Perhaps we should be asking what was the context of Trumps touching up young women. Your obfuscation is sick.
"He predicted 1971 for peak US oil production and he was one year out hog." You haven't grasped the theory. The theory says production peaks and then goes into terminal decline. That hasn't happened. Hubbert was close, but his theory failed becasue it ...
Irrelevant. DId the incitement happen? Yes. Were Clinton operatives involved? Yes.
It happened. And btw PP did try to sell body parts. You might not want to believe it, but they are as corrupt as Clinton.
You aren't willing to discuss THIS case are you? No, I thought not. Address the specifics of THIS case. Why did it take an election for these women to come forward?
Agreed. So whats your point? That she should not be held at least partly responsible for her own predicament? You might need to read some more details of the case.
"The left isn’t an amorphous mob." I didn't say they were. But the left were salivating, including some on TS. "There was plenty of criticism of KDC and his involvement on TS at the time." Yes, there was. And there was plenty of support, driven by a sick ...
"...accurately predicted that US oil production would peak in 1970..." "...since then, actual production has been significantly greater than the Hubbert curve. " So his prediction wasn't 'accurate' at all. It was utterly false, because his theory was ...
So you have no comment on the data itself?
Fair enough. I'm not particularly hating on Hillary. She's corrupt, but will still likely be less dangerous than Trump.
