Rather than giving Slater a chance to actually defend himself, just put him in the nets for an over with Adam Milne, it'd be more humiliating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ePx61TkXKY

Slavvy posted:I am. Everyone should be. If more people rode motorbikes, there would be less traffic congestion and greater driver awareness of motorbikes which would cut down on accidents a lot. It's the same argument as the cyclist ones except motorbikes pay tax, have warrants, require a license and are able to stop/turn/accelerate like a normal vehicle. Plus 50 people on scooters and motorbikes at a set of traffic lights looks insanely cool.

Are you actually saying you believe the majority of people in the NZ military are there because they're sociopaths rather than because they are in it as a job, or am I just tired and reading this completely wrong?

Yeah this is why I'm confused by some of the things people are saying, given the work that the NZ forces usually does is disaster relief, and peacekeeping as part of our obligations in the pacific and SEA regions.

Given that I know people from rural areas who, as teenagers in the 90s, had upwards of two friends die a year from preventable crashes with other NZ drivers aged 16-25, I'm going to remain slightly sceptical that this tourist menace is really as big a deal as people are making it out to be, in comparison to the problems we already have...

The real story here is not that Key hosed up by harassing a waitress, it's how the National PR smear team leapt into action to target the victim, allowing Key to walk away from the whole situation after apologising and sending the waitress wine, happy in the knowledge his underlings are going to loving destroy her.

Ghostlight posted:The Master's tools cannot dismantle the Master's house, which is exactly why I advocate for violent Marxist revolution of the proletariat instead of participating in society to make it better. If anything, I actively try to make society worse so that others can realise the only real option for change is not by democratic participation but through armed and violent resistance followed by systemic purges of the upper class. Come now we all know, as citizens of the country that embraced Thatcherism with open arms, that society doesn't exist.

Ratios and Tendency posted:The prime minister isn't supposed to be a president/king position. He's the lead/organising minister of a group but it tends to regress back to a quasi ruler due to laziness and stupidity. Which I feel is one of the best arguments for republicanism in NZ, so we can elect a mainly ceremonial president with a similar set of responsibilities/powers as the Governor-General. Then maybe we could move on from this stupid idea of our PMs being de facto head of state. Even if it didn't really change anything, at least you might not have to listen as many idiots talking about the only reason they vote for a particular party is due to none of the other party leaders 'being good/strong enough to lead our country'.

Ivor Biggun posted:NZ schools should (probably) teach more civics, people are usually surprised when I tell them that the head of state is the Governor General acting on behalf of the Queen. Anecdotal, but a lot of people I know who finished high school in the last few years have told me they received zero civics instruction (ie. at no point during their education were they even taught the basics of our parliamentary system, or about MMP). Are high schools not allowed to teach kids about our voting system in case it ~*~influences~*~ their political leanings?
