You may find it an awful world view, but if you were honest with yourself, you yourself spend more time focused on the negative than the positive, well you do if your posts on here are anything to go by, this is not a dig at all by the way, but if you see/read a post that you disagree with you come...

They cant control their "flocks". This reaction from angry young middle eastern men isnt totally uncommon. Fighting with police who where there to get the stabber just shows it takes anything to set them off on the right situation, luckily it didnt escalate too much but a number of police in hospit...

Rilley has been calling out left wingers in the UK for their Anti Semitism for a number of years. She won a couple of libel cases against supporters of Corbyn. She has become more vocal and forthright in the last year. She was pretty dumb to make assumptions about what happened in Sydney before mor...

My living circumstances are perhaps an example of the dog eat dog world, who missed out so I could come here, there must be a finite number of people who are allowed into NZ, why me and not someone else. My very employment meant someone else had to miss out, maybe it was a kiwi who I took the job o...

UncleFB

It being a dog eat dog world has nothing whatsoever to do with NZ’s world view and I think you know that. That was a terrible attempt at deflection. There's no deflection whatsoever. I really have no idea where you're coming from here. You're clearly living a comfortable life in a country you rocke...

UncleFB

You disagree? Yes, the fact that you're happily living in NZ after leaving the hellhole of a country caused by your ancestor's racist policies would surely make you think it isn't all a dog eat dog world? If NZ had your world view as expressed in the most recent pages of this thread you wouldn't be...

I thought National wants us to be aspirational ? Obviously not that way , too ‘unrealistic’ and utopian.

Aren't most mass shootings in the US done by home grown wacko white boys? Why not jump to that conclusion in this case? Or you know, wait for the facts before making an arse out of yourself. Equally, looking at the list of all mass murders (more than 4 being the threshold) in Australia shows no Isl...

UncleFB

Unfortunately, it's an easy conclusion to jump to, and sadly, it was my first thought as well. I did, however, have the sense to a. keep it to myself, and b. Remind myself that it could quite easily be the situation that it was, ie. the act of one deranged individual. It was in 2021, that a man, in...

I don't know who or what Rachel Riley is or does but she seems to have been a right wit kant on Twitter. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLJmiixW8AAqJdg?format=jpg&name=medium She's "apologised" but only because she was told to.

First day on the job too, no? Really feel for this guy and obviously his family in Pakistan. I hope his death sticks in the craw of some of the online 'terrorist posters' (and the one here).

Maybe we've met after all. Do you know David Stone? Former HP student approximately our age. I was at Vic as an "adult" student in the early 2000s .

Not a fan of Ryle Nugent. Irritating voice and don’t like his style. I never had a problem with Harrison and Barnes. In fact we switched to them (Sky option) during the 2005 Lions series.

I still maintain that the majority of reporters and such are left leaning, you have done nothing to persuade me otherwise, apart from asking me who owns the newspapers, which actually answers nothing.

On the journalists swallowing their bias and doing the job.

I thought Selby Rickett has played well but nothing to suggest All Blacks. Interestingly the Blues have the most successful lineout in Super Rugby so far. McWhannell and Sotutu are the two NZ players to win the most lineout. Not suggesting they should be in the mix. Just that I would expect Selby-R...
