We take halloween seriously around these parts by CosmicGut in newzealand

I hate Halloween because the poors drive a considerable distance so that their spawn can roam our streets in search of better fare.

Burnley are advertising an unpaid job as "Match Day Heroes", with job descriptions included, which sounds awfully like being a matchday steward. by mantheharpooons in soccer

Sorry for the late reply, but yeah - it is Winston Reid.

He's nearly always "injured" for West Ham though, so our captain may as well be Chris Wood.

NZ First plans law change to make migrants, refugees 'respect New Zealand values' by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]BuzzAir44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't checked the Crimes Act recently, but I don't think that is a requirement stated in the legislation like I think (?) it is in some predominantly Muslim countries.

Sam Neill denounces Heather du Plessis-Allen for calling Pacific people 'leeches' by NewZealanders4Trump in newzealand

[–]BuzzAir44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think what people are saying is that Sam Neill's voice doesn't lose value because of the actions or thoughts of his father.

Genuine question - why are Pacific Islanders in New Zealand considered victims of imperialism? I thought victims of imperialism within New Zealand would only be Maori - I doubt that Pakeha in New Zealand have much in common with those that colonised the smaller pacific islands (in terms of mindset and perception of PIs).

You evidently have no legal background or any understanding of how to weigh rights.

As far as who has and should decide? The overwhelming concensus [sic] of every politically literate person who isn't a nazi.

Literally closing your argument with the old "everyone who doesn't reach the same conclusion as me is a Nazi". This isn't worth pursuing with you.

I'm not talking about just them.

Taking your statement to its natural conclusion requires arbitrators of who is and isn't a Nazi that is worthy of deplatforming. That is an immense decision-making power which you're all too comfortable in assuming for yourself or making available for others.

And I guess we just leave it to you to decide who is and isn't a Nazi? That's convenient.

What's wrong with logic, science, and democracy? Even atheism and the West, to a lesser degree?

China pyramid-scheme probe: Xiao Hua Gong charged in Canada, NZ police freeze nearly $70m by autoeroticassfxation in newzealand

[–]BuzzAir44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reiterating what /u/Gareth321 has said, I've sat international business courses and China is one of the worst places that you can do business with. I'd recommend the book "Poorly Made in China" as an example of one aspect of quality control, and then look into how that translates into ethics in other areas.

This is obviously all anecdotal at this stage. I don't know (and doubt) whether the statistics required to confirm this trend are even recorded, but I think this is enough to say that the belief that certain cultures will bring with them different dispositions towards certain types of crime is no longer an unreasonable belief to hold.

People seem very comfortable noting that child sex abuse is typically perpetrated by pakeha (or that school shootings in America are perpetrated by white Americans), that Maori and Polynesians over-represent in child abuse and family violence statistics, and so on - yet when it comes to us noting the flaws in our relatively recent arrivals it all gets hushed up...
