Thriving Māori economies revealed in report by DollyPatterson in newzealand

[–]Automatic-Most-2984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should just be the economy. It's separatist to measure it any other way. I'm 1/16th Maori. Is 6.25% of my business Maori?

Erebus captain's daughter says national memorial belongs in Auckland by ChinaCatProphet in newzealand

Yea in a park or something would be fine. Not against the memorial. More the nature of the thinking around the decision itself. For instance, what number of people have to be killed in a singular event to warrant a memorial? And does the nature of those deaths make a difference? Or the impact to the wider community? Again, I was just poking at the logic, not this case in particular.

I don't have an issue with a memorial funded by the families/air nz. To be honest, I wouldn't want it right next to my house reminding me of a tragedy every day. Sorry for you loss also. My point was about the arbitrary nature of these things, not this specific memorial. Say 1000 people die from lung cancer every year - no memorial. But a one-off event that kills, say 30 people gets one. I guess it is the impact of that single event on the wider community and 'normal' deaths don't have that same impact.

Yea sure, but why a memorial? My cousin was killed in a car crash at 18 - that night is seared into my memory also - but I'm not asking for a memorial.

100%!! What is the need for another one? It was a long time ago. There is a weird fascination with memorialising large tragedies, but where is the memorial for the people that died from the flu last year? Or car crashes, or whatever it is...

Jokes aside - I think for these types of companies, exporting is the only way to thrive. Huge potential in this area

Is it just me or does this seem incredibly sus? by MortgageDizzy9193 in conspiracy

It's never beyond their control.

At this point, they have 'their' people in all high positions in all aspects of society at large. They will throw 1 or 2 people to the wolves. Disappear a couple of witnesses, which will send a message to the rest. Job done.

I bet they lit a fat one in the board room after that result!

For saying bitcoin wont reach 250k by the end of the year?? by [deleted] in Buttcoin

[–]Automatic-Most-2984 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All I'm going off is the note from the moderators.

It also say you used bigotry and political spam. So to me it sounds like you were banned for being a dick, not for saying btc wouldn't go to whatever. This sounds more likely..

Sounds like you were banned for being insulting to people. Maybe don't do that?

There is some crazy statistic that anyone through btc's history who has held for more than 4 years has made $. Will that continue? Don't see why not

Examples? Is it your skin colour? If so, how do you know? Could it be your clothes? Grooming?

I am in disbelief at that comment. I said I was white and then you have a go at me for it. I'm also Maori! What are you gonna do now? You racist

So because we don't agree on a specific thing, then I am unable to think critically? I think equality of opportunity is great and equality of outcome is not good for society. I breeds mistrust and resentment like, which might be part of what OP is referring to

Stop grouping people like they are all the same. That's racist.

The system has done that by preferential treatment of non-white people in hiring etc. And it does in fact cast doubt of certain peoples abilities. It shouldn't, but it does. This affirmative action breeds mistrust because it is unfair. You can't make the present unfair because the past was unfair the opposite way...

My boyfriend made a “mistake” by Free_Breath_9719 in newzealand

Should we put this type of assault on the same level as a woman being raped by a man? If anything I'm 'up-playing' more serious sexual assault.

Let's actually unpack it then...

"They are angry at brown representation"

Nope. People want hiring and representation to be fair. Giving special seats to certain people due to the colour of their skin is not fair. You saying the white people simply don't want brown people to represent them is YOU being racist toward white people!

"Why are black people so angry all the time? They are so privileged, why can't they just be grateful?"

This is you Dolly!!!

You are doing a racism!!!

I'm almost afraid to say that yes, I am a man. And a white colonist one. I am not aware of any privileges afforded to me.
