"If anything, they reinforce them." - quoted for emphasis and truth.
Come to Christchurch, where they don't have to consult on resource consent extenstions because they literally threw your objection to the original consent away instead of filing it as legally required.
In your view is it possible to have a disconnect between sexual fantasy and the everyday treatment of women in non-sexual situations? And is civil treatment enough, or is policing peoples private thoughts necessary?
Children aren't property, but they are a parents legal responsibility. We should emphasise guidance rather than control, but at the end of the day a childs actions and wellbeing are a parents responsibility and parents are (or at least society says they ...
And yet trauma can be extremely difficult to talk about, and even more so sometimes with people you're close to. Taking it a step further a good parent in that situation might at most make their child aware that they know, and that they're there any time ...
So? So that makes it ok to continue to put all the "blame", for lack of a better word, on men? Males mature at a later age than females, so I have to wonder how many males are learning this behaviour as acceptable /because they've been taught by their ...
Actually Labour already promised to treat the weather (climate) like this eras nuclear issue. And there's a lot that can be done about recreational drug use: access, quality, education, health care, harm prevention - including reducing the social ills that...
You've ignored the context Lara, I was replying to Iprents position - not moderating in general. When people want to say something, and they can't, that'll lead to things like "dissembling to distance themselves from what they actually think." - otherwise ...
Legislation is written down, but often not in a layman accessible form - /especially/ given case law etc /also/ forms a basis of our legislation.
This sub thread is off topic, but, heavily moderating in itself dissuades people from frankness - you'll push people towards the very thing you dislike.
Men AND women need this education, and earlier than year 10. In my experience we didn't get taught much in high school in the 2000s, from what you describe it sounds like we went backwards. And the girls were just as bad for sexual assault as the boys, and...
Yeah, that was disgusting and that the police officers in his domestic protection detail watched him do it and did nothing speaks volumes.
"For some reason men are ok with the notion that they are all basically 3 year olds with no ability to control their impulses." - Wow. Most of the not all men backlash is specificly because men aren't ok with this blatant sexism. "What do you do when a man...
Alcohol is alcohol. Politics is politics. If you need alcohol to encourage people to a political event then is it really about politics? - and if you're attracting minors to a political event because of alcohol that's surely de facto being irresponsible ...
Well don't be sexist then and then you wouldn't need to correct yourself.
A) Shocked that they don't understand consent, usually followed by an attempt to return the favor to highlight the issue. B) Usually it isn't an attempt at sexual advance, but a form of harassment/assault. Still, sexual assault isn't the same thing as ...
Short of the those who are genuinely out to terrorise and control others for their own pleasure, the problem is immature selfishness and a complete disregard for others. This attitude can be amplified by alcohol, crosses the gender divide, and reaches into...
Electric heating costs way more than an extra $20 a week but ok, it's something at least, you've got me there.
As if saying "that's racist" makes it so. For a start either position assumes motive. We could be looking at concern for the sustainability of systems which require perpetual hand-outs - or indeed the sustainability of continuing to live on small pacific ...
Ditto vague ad hominems.
Funny, so far it seems to work like (leftist says) "You're a racist, and you're a racist! YOU'RE ALL RACISTS!", sound about right? It's what you've been doing so far.
A question on the long term effectiveness of the status quo coupled with a question on foreign aid at a time when nothing is done domestically? (see: everything else on your list and some)
And the left has done what??????????????????????????????
NZ should do it's part, but it's a blip on global greenhouse gas emissions. If the USA, China, Russia etc paid proportionately the same as us we could rebuild the entire pacific islands - and I mean the islands themselves. We've more than taken ...
*Yawn*, "blah blah fear, blah blah white guilt ..."
1000%
Ah but who do you care (let's assume you mean by this compassion) for? And what do you think help is? NZ is struggling plenty too, and is perpetual dependency healthy and helpful? But ah, there's no argument about this stuff. The left and the right just ...
Context unclear, genitals stuck in toaster.
It's either freedom of expression, in which case acceptable however distasteful, or there's a strong enough reason against to make it criminal. Either way "not ok" isn't an argument against or even merely expression of distaste, it's the idea that some ...
"Note complaining that an idea is stupid or offensive is not an attack on the freedom to express that idea." - But saying that something isn't ok is.
And has Labour done anything other than deflect? We already need more /quality/ prison beds, those half arsed container sweat boxes prove that. Arden would do well to throw some points and not just jibes.
