Wtf is wrong with us, we sound like the Irish, only worse

I have a theory but it will trigger a section of the forum.

a little birdie in courtney place said she’s replaced the drinking habit she never kicked with pokies.
i wouldn’t trust the person who said it, but i’ve seen the type before.

either way ill be surprised if she makes it till next election.
as ive said before i have business interests in the areas shes frequents. she’s a known problem.

i’m surprised way more video of her hasn’t come out.

It's not going to end well is it

NZ is a tiny country that punches far above it's weight economically, sport, culturally.
We really don't demand medicority at all.
There are māori absolute thriving in NZ also.

We live in a country with a totally unique indigenous culture - that has some of the most dire statistics going. This is not unique to countries that were colonised at all
but any efforts to address the topic bring out the ugliest side of who we are.

Even you were more butthurt that I called out a private school boy rather than a poster saying the social impacts are an IQ issue.

shit, sorry i didn’t mean to be talking about māori haha. just kiwis. māori with poor health outcomes and targeting māori through cracking down on gamgsZ sorry for that, that wasn’t how i meant it.

i had no issue with your problem with private school kids. i just pointed out what a wild concept it is that we as NZers would rather tear others down than aspire to be better.

it’s not, and i feel for her. but she’s had far more grace than others have. she’d do well to bow out just before election time id say.

I find your obsession with where I went to school a quarter of a century ago rather odd. A perfect example of tall poppy syndrome

You should take that chip on your shoulder sometime. It is holding you back

Just to clarify my point on the private schooling is statistically it's twice as likely to make you conservative & he was straight up posting Act Party PR.

Just as a disclaimer my Mum sent my little brother to private school & I certainly take the piss about it to him.

i know, i read it.
we all do. that’s the issue.
it’s a go to here.

It's a much bigger thing in the UK.

They obviously didn't have the treaty of waitangi on the curriculum

not sure i agree, but fair enough.

anyway my plan for the evening wasn’t to argue with anyone, it was to put my feet up and drink some beer after a good day out running.

i do stand by what i said though. NZ is NZs biggest problem and we thrive as soon as we leave.

and just wanted to reiterate;
what i said about gangs, poverty and beneficiaries was not about māori, just the benefit and gangs being a toxic safety net.

have a good one and FACTS OR IM GOING TO WATCH THE CRICKET.

That got me thinking.... I can't remember at all studying the Treaty in either social studies (forms 3 and 4) or in history (forms 5 and 6). I can remember being taught about the māori Wars, King Dick Seddon, the Depreciation and WW 1 and 2 but nothing on the Treaty. Then again, I left school over 40 years ago so I may have forgotten (like most of the stuff I learnt there).

And stop ignoring facts Frank!

Will, it's time I concentrated on these HIRB calculations I'm supposed to be doing so good night Ladies and Gentlemen, and Bruce (where ever you are).

No doubt he's tucked up in his lazyboy watching his Bangles and Stevie Nicks videos, bottle of triple malt and box of tissues at his side.
