"The biggest risk is that Ardern may well overshadow Little over the next few months." I'm sure he wouldn't be nominating her if that was the case. Come on, give him some intelligence.
Subject -> use "who" Object -> use "whom".
Depends if the Dominion Post is left wing or right wing. If they are right wing then the use of the term "tory" isn't intended to be derogatory. If they are left wing then the use of the term "tory" is intended to be derogatory. Logic.
I know you weren't and neither was I. My argument is that if alcohol, given that it's a dangerous drug, would cause more harm if it was prohibited, then surely by prohibiting a less harmful drug like marijuana, more harm is caused than if it were legalized...
I regard alcohol as a very powerful drug. In fact I would go so far as to put it the same category as class A drugs like heroin. Its just that we use it highly diluted, it's very difficult to consume a lethal amount (unlike say heroin) and we have social ...
Far more people die from prescription drugs that all illicit drugs combined. And since it appears a requirement on this site that statements intended to be statements of fact are backed up here's some backing up: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/wicked...
"That number again – 22 out of 8,001. From 2016 – Few beneficiaries hit by drug testing" Yeah, well our entire drug laws are based around the same faulty reasoning. Some idiot or usually idiots kill themselves abusing some new drug and it's all woo-woo-woo...
I'd say that ACT is content with being a party of influence.
We can start by looking at a successful example of leftism and progressiveness, like for example, Venezuela. Oh wait. How about North Korea? Nope. Sweden? France? Um, perhaps last century. How about, um ... somebody help me out here.
Quite. If the Labour Party was a company board of directors the company would have gone into liquidation a long time ago with debts in the billions.
Nah, I'd love to see Jacinda as Labour party leader. It'd guarantee that they'd never come anywhere near getting elected even more so than keeping Andy on. Jacinda's win is a win for National. Thanks Jacinda!
You have a strange definition of misogyny.
I never knew smiling in photos for the Woman's Day was a talent.
Except Jacinda is a major populist threat to Andrew Little. She's got an electoral seat which more than what Angry Andy has. If she wants to she can leverage her seat against him and force him out.
Congrats to all you Labourites who think what's between your legs is more important than ability. :)
The Don bans FAKE NEWS outlets. TOO BAD!
Ok, this may be a little late but anyway ... Greg, would you be in favour of taking the Belgian approach to drug reform where instead of facing a jail term users are given at most a fine for possessing small amounts? Would you be in favour of allowing the ...
+100 dude.
So given what it's saying I take it that this is one of those "accurate" polls then? Anyway Labour is up. Congrats. But you're still faced with an unpopular Labour leader with all the charm of soggy week-old weetbix. Honestly, given the Willy Jackson ...
"Nikki was the key person in getting the govt to sign up to the CRL much earlier than originally envisaged. If that's not a reason NOT to vote for her, I don't know what is.
Not a deal, a favour. And as far as I'm concerned anyone but Dunne.
Yep. Businesses fail because of bad management not bad workers. This is why we have (or should have) things like redundancy and other compensation payouts, and why workers should be at the head of the queue when it comes to getting paid.
Trump wouldn't have let it happen.
I bet she wouldn't be getting this attention if she was white and male. Zing.
"How would that work with disability if you don’t address disability -specific issues?" That's not what identity politics is about though. Identity politics is for example voting for someone just because they have a vagina. Or having a policy that says ...
" you know you’re an outlier, how do you propose to address the dead weight of privilege holding people (and society) down?" Credit where credit is due. That is a very good question. In short the answer is equality of opportunity. For example ensuring that...
Peter Leitch would attest to that.
How is the anti-IP position exclusive? I don't care whether you are left wing or right wing, male or female. I don't judge you by what you identify as but by the merit of what you say.
So everyone who voted Trump is a bigot then?
Yes, unearned privilege is a problem, and that's one reason I'm opposed to identity politics.
"The main finding is consistent across the three studies: when an organization is explicitly presented as meritocratic, individuals in managerial positions favor a male employee over an equally qualified female employee by awarding him a larger monetary ...
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
