the reception of some 300 people (i knew maybe 10??) was held at the Hotel Sofitel in Redwood Shores.

i have been on my best behaviour ever since, because i didnt want to fuck everything up by being a dick.
i have never done anything for longer than thirty years.

Sad Died "with" Covid....
Posted by: C_T_Russell - 01-04-2022, 10:53 AM - Forum: Covid-19 - Replies (24)

How much more misleading can it get than that?
Did anyone hear on the TV the other night how they were trying to explain the "jump" in deaths where we had 35 deaths reported?

Then they went on to say how some were found to have covid19 during the post mortem.
As we have already seen, if you are murdered, but have covid, it goes down as a covid death, same with car accident, heart attack, cancer, etc, etc.

Not only is it misleading but its corrupt politics, and I believe this is laid down by the WHO guidelines, so not blaming Jacinda on this, as they are simply following orders, but she should still know better.

Obviously the agenda is to make this virus look more dangerous than it really is to justify the amount of draconian measures taken.

JACINDA ARDERN - A TSUNAMI OF CHANGES IS COMING 
Hi to all concerned New Zealanders,
Has Jacinda Ardern become a puppet to the tribal elite? After the opening paragraphs we list some facts from the Government's He Puapua 2040 plan! By deliberately concealing the He Puapua agenda for tribal co-governance from voters during the election campaign, Jacinda Ardern has knowingly orchestrated an illegitimate abuse of power. As a result of the rollout of this illegitimate agenda, a cultural takeover of New ZealandÔÇÖs most fundamental social and constitutional values is underway.
Our established democratic order is being swept aside by an incoming tide of race-based tyranny. Following is but a sample ÔÇô remember these are taken from the GovernmentÔÇÖs own plan. Some parts have already been enacted.
1. A SEPARATE MAORI HEALTH AUTHORITY;
o          Funded by the Taxpayer.
o          With veto rights over the entire health system
o          Maori patients are now being prioritised over non-Maori.
2. DEPT OF CONSERVATION LAND:
o        Government documents have now emerged showing a plan to transfer the ownership and control of the  entire Conservation Estate to Tribal Authorities
o┬á ┬á ┬á ┬á The Dept of Conservation has now formed an ÔÇ£Options, Development GroupÔÇØ (ODG).┬á This group has made a recommendation to give control and governance of DOC to Maori.
3. LAND & BUSINESS:
o          Exempting Maori land from the requirement to pay rates.
o          Iwi businesses now worth several billion dollars do not pay taxes.
o          Taxpayer funding to upgrade maraes.
4. EDUCATION:
o          Rewriting the history of this country to suit a Maori agenda in the Education curriculum. The rewritten curriculum shows pre and post European Maori to be a different person than what was observed and recorded by early Europeans.
5. LOCAL GOVERNMENT:
o          The abolition of the right of local communities to hold a binding referendum on Maori Ward Seats on Councils
o          Local Government Minister Mahuta is now undertaking a review and it appears likely to lead that 50% of Council seats will be held by Maori.
6. GOVERNANCE:
o  Two complete Governments that overlap.
o  A new written Constitution based on a new interpretation of the Treaty of Waitangi.
o  At least five per cent of all Govt procurement contracts must now go to Maori businesses. All government departments/agencies must now provide a report that shows at least five per cent of the procurement for goods and services was from Maori businesses.
7. JUSTICE
o  A Maori Court system, where offenders with a Maori ancestor will be treated differently from other offenders.
o  Maori Jails, where inmates with a Maori ancestor will be treated differently to other inmates.
o┬á Western Common Law being replaced by Maori ÔÇ£tikangaÔÇØ (Maori customary & practices). See Justice ChurchmanÔÇÖs Decision May 2021
o  Where people of Maori ancestry will have greater legal rights
8. WATER
o  Granting Maori rights to ALL fresh water
o  Giving Maori access to funding for their legal costs to claim the Seabed & Foreshore, from mean high tide out to 12 nautical miles.
o  Opponents to Maori claims must fund their own legal costs.
9. MEDIA:
o  Maori language and culture are now being forced into Government Departments, Local Authorities, and state funded media.
o┬á The guidelines for the media in the governmentÔÇÖs latest funding of $55 million dollars to them, now prevents an opposing point of view to the governmentÔÇÖs race-based program being aired.
THE ABOVE IS JUST A SAMPLE OF WHAT IS IN THE HE PUAPUA 2040 PLAN.
New Zealanders across the land are being falsely accused by radical separatists of racism and discrimination against Maori when they question what is the He Puapua plan about.
ÔÇ£If we are to salvage our democracy, we have no option but to get out of our comfort zones and engage in protest by means that may not come easily to us.ÔÇØ
Spread the word. Do not be afraid of being called a racist. Speak out. We want equality. We need to stand up and fight this plan.

Doesn't actually say the money's gone but surely the protest organisers would have had the forethought to pick a better steward for the donations...

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has officially declared open the Transmission Gully motorway, while the road has been named Te Ara Nui o Te Rangihaeata.

Can you imagine if there was an accident and you dialed 111 and you were asked where it was, shit that would be a mouthful to get out in a hurry.

I know its a cultural thing but shit how about naming something that is inline with European culture for a change?

  How do children of 9 know they're gay?
Posted by: Outsider - 30-03-2022, 08:04 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (12)

I'm asking because I'm genuinely puzzled. 
I remember being 9 years old and my children being 9 years old, and there's no way any of us would have had the maturity to know that then.
I've heard people say they knew at a young age but why were they even thinking about that?

Here's the link I was just reading: https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/gender-and-society/300551963/auckland-mum-sets-up-social-group-so-younger-queer-children-can-be-themselves 

If you were to ask a child that young if they prefer their own sex to make friends with, of course they would say Yes, because they more often than not have more friends of the same sex before high school, from my experience. Some boys may have friends who are girls, and vice versa, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are gay.
And because they have no knowledge of sexual relationships at that age - how do they know they're gay?

If anyone has any personal experience of this that they wouldn't mind sharing, I'd really like to learn more.

I myself was never a 'girly-girl' who liked playing with dolls or dressing up in frilly clothes and I did think boys had more fun.
I was also more interested in Maths and Science, and still am.
But when I got older I wasn't attracted to females for sexual relationships - only men. And I'm married with 2 children.

*Edited to add* I went to an all girls school and as a teenager did have 'crushes' on older girls at the school but I think that's different, and maybe everyone has that experience as a teenager as they try to figure out who they are?
