Im fed up with articles like this. What want to know is what do these people do with their money. After all they are getting more than me. I also want to know what they are doing to help themselves. I had to take a night job packing bread to make ends meet so what are they doing? It seems to me that many of them just want to be eternal victims with a gimme gimme more attitude.
Why on earth does it have to be yet more Maori stuff. Why cant it be something of universal interest such as the Angel of the North in the UK, the Kelpies in Scotland, or the Statue of Liberty. They are things of universal appeal. When I went to the USA I was not saturated with Native Indian culture so why do we do it here?
How do vegans change. It makes them arrogant, defensive, very fussy and in my opinion plain silly. They prefer a restricted diet whilst the rest of us eat anything. Im not going to give up a wide ranging diet for anyone least of all those that ascribe human attributes to animals.
If you need to know how pensioners are coping then ask them. Academics and university researchers havent got a clue. I can tell you by personal experience that you can live on the pension and have the odd luxury as well. I manage to set aside $20 per fortnight which even gives me a trip somewhere every 2 or 3 years
Last week you had all our beaches and all the seas in South Asia, littered with rubbish and plastic. Checked your hypothesis several times since then and it just isnt 1. How much of what you claim can we believe. Very little methinks.
Seen it have you? I have dived all round South Asia and especially in Bali very extensively. Have never seen any such thing except in fake movies put out by greenies. Take up my invitation and go out from Tauranga and look for yourself.
Well Mac Im no android fan. Im a fan of cheap phones which counts apple out. For your info the last time I made a phone call it was exactly the same as ripoff phones. For the info of six I also happen to have the ANZ banking app which I almost use on a daily basis. Works just fine. But six is very blunt an thinks that cant be done.
There is not one single house in NZ that has a Code of Compliance. Such a thing doesnt exist and the words make no sense. In suspect the cadet reporter who wrote this is thinking of a Code Compliance Certificate, sometimes called a CCC.
Bit over the top a la greenpeace. Ever been to sea just to see how much trash there is around. No I thought not. Take a trip out from Tauranga our busiest port and a large urban area. Cruise around for a week cover as much sea as you can. You will be lucky to see any plastic at all.
So you admit that you make wild assumptions about other people just to massage your own ego. I live exactly how I want to and that includes lots of social, sporting and volunteering activities.
This building is in a commanding location and should be a landmark of national interest. Unfortunately its not that, its simply just a drab oversized church made of inappropriate materials. If Nelson aspires to be a city of progress and interest then it should start by replacing this building with something truly imposing and with architectural merit. Then whilst at it level that hideous post office building at the other end of the street and build an equally imposing new structure to book end what could be the start of some modernisation in a city that badly needs it.
Archer. His good that you agree you have a gimme gimme more attitude. Now I understand why you support those who just arent prepared to help themselves.
Animals get killed for my food. Great isnt it. Wont ever stop me eating a wide ranging diet. I often kill my own food when hunting ranging from wild cattle and deer down to quail and rabbits with all sizes in between. Havent had one yet that wasnt delicious. If vegans are trying to make me feel guilty about the animals then dont waste your breath, I enjoy it hugely.
Cant beat seeing for yourself. If you dont want to see the truth around Tauranga then go to Bali and tour the beautiful pristine beaches there. Better than reading à nd believing Greenie propaganda
Its great to see that Dunedin is at last thinking about modernizing. This will be a good asset. Unfortunately it wont attract visitors until Dunedinites shed their cold unfriendly attitudes and their hatred for North Islanders. It would be a great help if they stopped telling themselves how friendly they are and actually became friendly.
Pauline thinks that the Waikato and Taranaki dont burn off in the summer. Like all greenies she needs to get around a bit and see the rest of the world.
I think you should read my comment again. Then you may actually get a real handle on my situation. There are no ivory towers in my world and I get off my backside and do things to keep my family in food and warm. What is it you do except whinge, whine and ask for more?
Most of what Gloomy Day says most of it is incorrect and boy what a morbid life he leads worrying about what everyone else is eating and trying to get them to stop eating meat.
Sunny day wants to live in a society where people are not free to do whatever they want to. Such as eating meat. His view seemingly has more importance to him than the rights of others to d and eat what they wish.
Your logic regarding costs is nuts. How many fully functioning el cheapos can you get for the price of one apple? A hell of a lot I reckon. I can ditch my phones every 3 years or so and be quids in on you.
Freevrange and organic are the two biggest cons of all time. There are no more free range chickens than the 4 I keep in my back yard and they taste no different from any supermarket frozen chook.
As Apples significance and relevance in the world continues to drop I think the only people who are worried are the apple fan boys who just cannot see past the end of their nose. Just look at how many posts some people make to discredit anything but apple but forget that apple is in advanced stages of rot.
Six usernames thanks for confirming that your overpriced phone only does what any el cheapo does. My knife drawer is full of blunt knives but one is especially blunt. Makes me think that you might equate to that knife.
Im no Android fan either. I am anti exorbitant pricing for something that does the same for a tenth of the price. Before six jumps back in in, his usual manner, yes they all do the same chum. Buy a $100 phone and try iy it. You may get a surprise.
I simply cannot believe that anyone is silly enough to pay this companies exorbitant prices when they can get other products that do everything just as effectively or better that their products do at 10% of the price and less.
I lived in Blenheim for more than 15 years and found the people there just great to work, play and socialize with. Plus the weather is the best in NZ if a bit cold in winter. So its very likely that it is you that is the problem especially if you think Dunners people are friendlier.
Please do there are heaps of jobs around they just need a swift kick you know where and to stop feeling sorry for themselves when the solution is in their own hands.
I go to Howick regularly. Explain how this train will get me there in reasonable time and at reasonable cost. No, I will answer it for you no it wont and it never will.
Yep you are quite right The antis, the very same one who always prattle on about making sure they leave things right for their grandchildren, take a different line totally whenever the whim suits them. Total hypocrisy.
Its the same old anti development whiners that appear in every article about any development or activity in the Nelson Tasman areas. I think they all need a change of water.
People who are silly enough to go to Dunedin will regret that as soon as they realise its a decaying, dull, grey, cold, unfriendly place, and they will want to move back to Hamilton or Tauranga but then they wont be able to afford to get back. You wouldnt get me to Dunners with a free house and a million dollars. If people want to move to a nice place with a great climate then Blenheim is the place.
Thats will be a shame. A good chance of some real development in a depressed place missed. It must be depressed because many of the locals oppose anything and everything in a depressed manner.
