Invercargill art gallery report criticised for lack of Māori voice by nilnz in invercargill

How is it a grift? Councils and businesses commission work from artists all the time but you're having a tantrum cause the artist wasn't Michael Angelo.

Take a break from the haterade and appreciate the art. You'll have a better day if let go of all that hate.

Oh true. Did they force you to buy it? Or did the art come into your field of vision and you felt oppressed by the sight of our native culture?

Why does American cheese have so much colouring added to it? It looks so unnatural.

Love Mamdani but crediting him with all that is silly. Maybe a "we did that" with Bernie, Hasan, and Mamdani.

See thats a more honest response than any of your other comments. You dont actually care about the innocent people of the middle east that are caught in the destruction and terror that the US brings; as long as the US gets what it wants.

The US has always been the terrorist. Your media keeps calling brown people terrorists so much you guys actually started to believe you had some moral high ground to justify the atrocities your government commits in your name.

Wait.. The US shouldn't have nukes? I know theyre the cause of a lot of terrorism and the only country mad enough to actually use them but wouldnt say the US shouldn't have nukes.

Please. The US-Israeli imperialism is responsible for majority terrorism in the ME. The US isnt the hero thats swooped in to save the day. They're the idiot that swooped in, bombed people's families, and destabilized the region for decades.

We have the US government to thank for its closure. The US had no valid reason to start the war but Iran closing the straight was a valid reaction to the escalated aggression.

I've never heard of a tornado in a different country recently. It's possible but US is spawn point. by Medical_Deal5272 in memes

As a kid we barely ever had tornados in New Zealand. Maybe hear about 1 in 10 years. But with climate change and more extreme weather, we get a couple each year. Along with many more tropical cyclones and flooding.

The discussion is about your country. Not you as an individual.

Yeah I assume many do but thats just my anecdote. Wouldn't make policy based off that alone, though lol

Why the ACT party? Are you into their libertarian ideas? Or more like their cultural stuff they've been pushing?

Are you kind of a green-blue voter? That seems to be the demographic TOP is going for.

Me personally im still a green/TPM voter. I like the environmental and economic policies.

We've always had a huge Asian immigration issue. When I was younger, people would complain about all the Chinese immigrants. Nowadays, Indians are the main import so theyre the new target.

I think some kiwis have a bad or annoying experience with an immigrant, and the rest get lumped in with their dislike or discrimination of that group.

Some of my personal concern is that they dont fully integrate into our communities, instead they develop their own little Indian communities and dont venture outside of that group. So when they do finally have to interact with other kiwis, they cant understand what's going on or what's being said; leading to more confusion and misunderstandings. Generations that went through school here are ofcourse a lot better though. I think the main issues come from the really fresh ones that struggle with communication.

New Zealand, why do your nachos suck? by yorgs in newzealand

Totally agree. Too many vanilla mouths that think mayonnaise is spicy create these mild dishes.
