Re: Not looking good for global warming

The gullible lap all this climate chance BS up, its just a excuse to take more money out of you with new taxes, always has been and always will be. No it isn't. It is a real phenomenon that will have real consequences. However, it has been hijacked by doom merchants and blown out of all proportion.

Re: Not looking good for global warming

At some future date - if the planet survives - climate change denial will be put in the same category as holocaust denial. No it won't. It's this type of comment that drives many people away from accepting the science as so much of current climate activism and commentary around global warming is dr...

Re: Alec Baldwin Kills Cinematographer

I don't see that live and blank ammo being kept together together is such a big deal. Its all ammo all if it can kill. Obviously you don't mix live and blank ammo in the same box, you keep it in separate clearly labeled boxes but when its locked away safe then it all ammo boxes go in the same store...

Re: Trans shows hate towards Christian preacher

Hasn't that been the overwhelming attitude in sports up to now? Certainly amongst good female athletes anyway. There is an obvious issue, society wants to reduce the divisions between men and women because in most areas it doesn't matter. The one area where it matters is physical prowess, which is ...

It makes perfect sense to educate kids on different sexual oriented people in SPHE class at second level. Nothing wrong with education in the topic, but just need to be careful it's not from some far left or fight right group with their own agenda. Teach not preach. Teaching would be some people ar...

I feel my reference to send them back has been taken as send all immigrants back but what I clearly meant was that somebody who is considered important enough to be under surveillance should be deported rather than waste resources 'trying' to monitor them.

Seems to have been ISIS inspired according to the reports. Carried out by a Sri Lankan. Came to NZ in 2011 and came to the attention of authorities in 2016.
