Re: Israel Gaza war and protests
I would have thought that given the western secular democracy supposed and absolutely supported by some posters here , that we might presume of them a higher standard of comparable morality ? Certainly I expect far more of Israel than that promoted and actioned by their current extremist government,...

Re: League players are no good in Union
Funnily enough I always wondered why Jesus of Nazareth who seems to be featured in the later part of said book isn’t recorded as saying anything about homosexuality whatsoever. Perhaps the message had already been branded in , or even quite simply because he didn’t give a shit ? What confuses me is ...

Odd for a team that says it 'out of respect to the other team', it doesn't seem to have been mentioned to Tonga or Romania....

Re: Irish arrogance stuns Springbok stars
Even when they hadn’t beaten us , the bravado was over the top .
I watched with about a dozen Irish fans and trust me confidence was their one shared attribute.
Even though they were gutted after they were extremely sporting . We brought them a few pints .

Re: NZ Politics Thread
Sure , but you can’t tell me that the government loved this little poll .
Almost unique in contemporary political history given its only 6mths into their term .
I can’t think of any new government that had slipped so quickly , surely this poll must be an aberration ?
It’s simply too soon .
