    Victor Meldrew NZ Politics

    @dogmeat said in NZ Politics:

    Overall as in most things more left wing than most countries.

    OK, I know I'm posing a question here not having lived in NZ for decades, but...

    Is NZ really more left-wing than most other countries? Or is what is perceived as left wing actually pragmatism The idea of the ACC Act is seen as pretty Left wing from a UK perspective, but in reality isn't it just a good solution to the problem of worker safety and injuries which cuts out the lawyers and ambulance-chasers you see in other countries and provides more certainty for people who are injured and their employers?

    Tax-wise, NZ looks remarkably right-wing compared to other rich countries. Is NZ a right-wing country economically, but a little to the left on some issues?

    ACT Crusader NBA Season - now 22/23

    Getting rid of Finney-Smith will prove to be the Mavs downfall. Sure he wasn’t averaging big numbers but it was his play on the defensive end and more importantly his attitude which is sorely lacking.

    As amazing as Kyrie is on the offensive end, players like Brunson and Dinwiddie are better fits for how Luka plays.

    Luka is a diva no doubt about it, damn talented but is high maintenance because Kidd wants to play a certain way but Luka’s style is not right for it.

    O The hot takes and unpopular opinions

    @Nepia said in The hot takes and unpopular opinions:

    Karaoke fucking sucks.

    You have obviously never been in a room full of 20 or more people all belting out Stand by Me at the top of their voices at the end of an all-you-can-drink party in Japan then.

    O Transgender debate, in sport, in general

    @Victor-Meldrew I'd add the connection of needing something to believe in. The vast majority of humans need a belief system in their lives. The rise in wokeness coincides with the lesser belief in religion. The similarities between religion and wokeness are quite scary.

    @Tim added that to my watch list the other day

    Finished Murder in the Pacific, 3rd ep mainly dealt with the French side of it, the internal 'investigation' and the French govt involvement (which as a pre-teen at the time, I knew very little of aside from the end result of the 2 spending f-all of thier jail time in jail) and the subsequent French media investigation into the Govt Investigation...

    Very good doco!

    Dan54 It’s Razor. Robertson New All Blacks coach.

    @gt12 Rather not have him, he seems a good coach, but a little hot headed at times. But we got enough good coaches here anyway, we don't really need to groom other countries coaches at test level.
