  1. So killing the unborn isnt murder? Easy to say when it didnt happen to you. You gonna die? then fine get an abortion. You dont know how to own genitals without having abortions then maybe getting fixed, if you want any abortions, is the better way to deal with it. To me its like drink driving. People will keep doing it with no punishment. We stop people driving for drink driving with no injury. Why cant we stop people breeding if they have to kill all their successfully conceived children?

  3. You're lucky if a raid isnt armed and based on false pretenses. Its nothing short of a miracle if you get an apology. Normally they say you are lucky you arent all in jail. Cops been raiding my houses since I was a kid and they always bring guns. They never apologize. They never clean up. They hardly ever charge you with anything relating to the warrant. The judge believes everything they say to get a fake warrant and the fake charges they put you on, all the based on bullshit bail conditions or remand in custody. Its amazing the actually catch anyone when they are busy tipping people out on "tip offs" or known cannabis users. How many unsolved murders still?

  4. Ban the bag? How about reuse the bag. Instead of costing people money convince them to save money. If there arent bags you will find another thing to complain about, feeling justified if some how this crazy idea goes ahead. Go worry about fixing it rather than avoiding it. If your car breaks do you ban cars? No you fix it. Drains blocked, shall we ban it? Come on life gives you a problem you dont ban it and blame someone else.

  5. Maori seats or Maori representative seats? Just being Maori seats would mean any peoples of Aotearoa. Maori representative seats would mean anyone representing Maori culture and or heritage. You need to put your best foot forward not the prettiest or oldest. That being said if they are the best they will take the normal seats as we have seen happening. Reserved seats just screams corruption. Earn it, learn it or work for it. Its the Maori way now. Nothing can stop the willing to achieve. Only themselves. Even health or consequences cant stop the truly willing. I cant see any reason why Maori dont already dominate politics, other than the fears of people who haven't made it out of the 60s. The natural want to get ahead which many other nations lack should be enough to push them well ahead of immigrants who had to have the same drive to get here. As the Maori NZers have family and networks to help them they should succeed before the imports. I think having Maori seats is a cop out personally but I wouldnt cast a vote either way. I dont want to take or give to one people based on gender race culture or heritage. I dont want to have a divide between one person and the next based on perceived differences or indifferences. Which dont actually exist. Just different faces different races same country same people same culture.

  6. High security? So no rehabilitation? Thats the classification you dont want. Better to go for a maxi classification go to a maxi prison. Low, low medium is bad as you can still stuff up through others actions or law changes. Resulting in being reclassified and moved from where you were doing training and counselling or courses and jobs. High security means you arent bad enough for the big bad boys yard but too bad for the usual mainstream prisons. No cabins no courses nothing but maybe a cage with a dozen people. How is that going to fix or punish them?

  8. So instead of a charge or no bag, make a saving per bag. Get $3 off such and such if you bring your own packaging/container/bag. Or a % off your bill for bringing your own etc. It is silly to just ban things. That cost jobs take up thousands upon thousands of hours of peoples time rearranging their life to suit the 65000 signatories. Im sure we could get closer to 500k to sign a bill to classify cannabis and hemp plants the same as apple trees and kumara. To classify cannabis plant matter and products the same as tomatoes and tomato sauce. But hey another day for that right? Who lost their whole livelyhood over a plastic bag or even 1000 plastic bags? But that guy that lost scholarship career business family freedom for a plant doesnt matter? People need grow up realise there are bigger things. How about them pumps killing all the eels? They kill more than these bags and we have to fund them!!

  10. I dont like Don Brash but that doesnt mean I think he is wrong in holding an opinion. What he is saying from what I can see is; That Maori and non Maori are afforded the same rights based on citizenship and that no one should start making race bases anything. Sure "cultural" funding is obviously directed at preservation of Maori heritage, but we arent going back there. We are all going forward together. Having things like treaty settlements 150 years late is a rort. They stimulate the economy by giving money to people who already paid it in tax and spend it again paying more tax. It is divisive at best. A buyout by stealth of the history of the land, to accompany the land already seized. We still have 1000s of embargos they could pull out later and produce a "new" clean history of New Zealand. Like some sort of Jurassic Park story of adventure and discovery. With the story ending circa 2019 where the clean green inage is preserved by just not letting anyone talk about. Green Peace will be like some gang of secret thugs, labour will be the minimum wage party university will only be offshore, cars banned, smoking banned, who knows when we will get banned for, want a bicultural society that welcomes others to join in ours. Yet means they bring theirs and enforce it when we just enforce the laws of the lands.
