  Idiot white supremacist Phillip Arps arrested
Posted by: Lilith7 - 14-02-2022, 04:26 PM - Forum: Covid-19 - Replies (17)

He was arrested in Picton, en route for Wellington in order to witness a 'public 'execution.' 

I don't often  enjoy schadenfreude at all - but in his case, I'll make an exception. It brightened my day considerably & I sincerely hope he gets a lengthy prison sentence; he's an evil twisted white supremacist who gave the impression he was happy about the terrorist  attack here.


https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/1...on-comment

"Christchurch man Philip Neville Arps, 47, was travelling up the country when he was arrested in Picton on Friday afternoon and charged with threatening to kill and using offensive language.

A charge sheet said Arps was at a BP petrol station in Linwood, Christchurch earlier that day, saying there was going to be a ÔÇ£public executionÔÇØ. ÔÇ£IÔÇÖve been promising it, IÔÇÖll see you in seven to 10 years,ÔÇØ he was quoted as saying on the charge sheet.
He was also accused of threatening to kill members of the public and police."

  What will it take?
Posted by: Oldfellah - 13-02-2022, 01:30 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (172)

I know people are allowed to protest but are they allowed to abuse others, make death threats and blatantly break the law by being there after they have been trespassed.
So what the hell will it take to get rid of this vile scum and tell them to fuck off back to holes they have crawled out of? NZ Police get real do something these bastards are breaking the law and laughing at you , so come on its time to get heavy handed and disperse these poorly informed fuckwits that get all there information from Facebook, if need be call in the Army with hand grenades lol But seriously DO something!

  Brits told to leave Ukraine

The UK says it won't be able to fly people out if Russian invades, & some of the UK embassy staff are being withdrawn but some Brits are saying they can't leave immediately.



https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-60361911


Surely Putin wouldn't be that stupid, to invade Ukraine - he must know the Americans would wade in immediately.

  May as well forget scanning in

With numbers of cases now over 400 a day contact tracing breaks down and is virtually impossible.  The government has previously said that cases more than 200 a day strained their ability to trace people's movements.

  The way to beat inflation?
Posted by: Wainuiguy - 12-02-2022, 10:48 AM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (25)

How about increasing minimum wage to the same level as inflation creating...................more inflation.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/gove...QJNJMM7HQ/

Adding  more costs for businesses,  who increaee the costs of their products creating more inflation.
Forcing other peoples wages up in line with this increase creating more inflation.

Interesting that many union negotiated wage increases in the same period were for sometimes less than half of this increase - my staff for example received a 4% increase - only 2/3s the actual value of "official" inflation.

  They havent changed

anybody's mind about Vaccine mandates, they havent even had discourse with authority.
because theyre a confused, disorganised rabble that doesnt know they want either. no one wants to hear their line of shit, same old lies, misinformation and garbage
what a joke.

they say they will stay until the mandates are gone.
lol, hunker down losers its not going to happen on your schedule, its going to happen when its deemed safe to do so.
seeing them in action was good, it confirmed to me who and what they are. just a ragtag bunch of basement dwellers and walter mittys, conspiracy driven morons we would be better off without ta covid.  so i feel better about that.
im not picking on innocents.

they think they are the tip of the iceberg. maths as we know not being their strong suit. 4% 0f 5,000,000 is 200,000.
that seems substantial, (even though that number includes kids and those precluded by health to take the vaccine) as a voting bloc possibly so. but its only four deluded reprobates in a crowd of 100, bahahahaha, delusional fools. no, not the tip of an iceberg, more like a turd in a birdbath.

  Etiquette Matters
Posted by: Oh_hunnihunni - 11-02-2022, 06:48 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (12)

A recent conversation raised the subject of table manners, and it has always intrigued me how different we all are on the subject. My Father was strict on the correct way of doing things, I suspect because his looming Victorian Father had the same attitude to matters of etiquette. His insistence on 'the right way' did make a shy child more confident when faced with potentially awkward social experiences and the recent conversation around a child without that benefit was a good illustration. This kid, at age eleven, cannot handle a knife and fork, and is uncomfortable with eating in company outside the family. The question between friends concerned the 'do we teach him or do we leave his parenting alone lest we offend' conundrum...

So to then come across this little piece on Stuff about buttering bread at the table made me smile, and explained a little habit I have, obviously another of my Dad's bits of childhood brainwashing...

  Cutting neighbour's tree without permission
Posted by: Underwhelmed - 10-02-2022, 11:39 PM - Forum: Real estate - Replies (15)

Our neighbour is unhappy about the height of our trees which cast shade on some of his garden. We planted mature trees that are now about 3 metres tall but don't overhang his side at all.  Without the trees, he can look into our garden and into our house.

He's not the sort to go through the legal process (District Court) to get the trees trimmed so what's the likely criminal charge (if any) if he decides to jump the fence and lop them off himself? It would be useful to have something to mention to him before he does anything. We do have security cameras aimed at the boundary and we will go to the Disputes Tribunal if he kills them (they cost a bit). 

No posts encouraging me to be a good neighbour, please. If you lived next door to this guy, you'd be planting big trees too.

protesting outside primary schools.
are they doing it at primary schools because thats the only demographic that wont kick the shit out of them, and still might be gullible enough to buy their line of horseshit?
why would they pick this as a battleground? just what kind of imbecilic antisocial tosspot thinking leads to this?
i just cant fathom it. how much of an ignorant arsehole one has to be to make this seem like a good idea.?
