  • And this is a massive problem. Why is he continue to act like this without any accountability or consequences? This wound is going to continue to fester until we have own eruption of Christian nationalists storming the beehive.

    I mean I agree with you and I’ve already signed the change.org petition, I’m not sure what else I can do. I don’t know anyone who supports Destiny Church or Brian Tamaki. Like I said, I don’t think much will change with the current lot in power.

    I can’t make much comment about what the Police should do, I don’t really know all the details. Hopefully they get the right people who incited it too.


  • Nice. Mines an older Clara I bought about 5 years ago. I personally don’t have the use for a color screen, but for $10 I guess why not! Most books I read don’t have any images besides the cover

    I installed KO Reader as soon as I got it and never looked back. Not as pretty as the standard Nickel (?) OS but more customisable.

    I love having an e-reader. I read so much more because of it. Much more convenient, not having to worry about heavy books, holding open pages, no need to worry about proper lighting for reading. Light and small enough to bring everywhere. I will buy another immediately once this one dies.


  • To be honest there’s very few people posting here, so we can expect not everything is going to be posted. But I don’t think there’s anyone here that would be a Destiny Church supporter. I mean you posted it and now we’re discussing it, I’m not sure why it’s an indictment on the few people still active here that it didn’t get posted sooner.

    I agree with your sentiments, but this is nothing new for Brian Tamaki and his cult. The same issues get brought up everytime they’re in the news for something. I would love the Government to cripple them financially, but it seems unlikely to happen so far.

    I’m guessing the police have to work through the statements to figure out exactly who to arrest or something?











  • Agree with your points, stupid people still existed, but would be shunned from important roles once others realized they were stupid. Social media and the systematic underfunding of education and science also is a factor of dumbing down the general population and overall lack of critical thinking. It’s one of the reasons so many mistrust scientist or experts and think watching youtube or tiktok videos counts as “research”.

    Can you imagine, governments made up of highly educated people that are actually experts in the fields their role is responsible for? We might actually progress as a society.







  • Like, I’d love to be able to live in a nicely insulated home where the cost won’t exceed 25% of my income.

    If this is really your issue, then you’re focusing on the wrong people.

    Clearly something has to be done when a certain percentage are falling into arrears, but making them homeless is not the right tactic. Thinking they are all just withholding rent while having the ability to pay is a big assumption, and is almost certainly incorrect. There needs to be some discretion exercised and probably taken on a case by case basis. I have no doubt there are some taking the piss, but just painting all of them with the same brush seems wrong to me.



  • Luxon really does have negative charisma doesn’t he.

    Question Time also got heated around political donations with Hipkins questioning Luxon whether Polkinghorne had donated to the ACT Party, and if so, if that had created a conflict of interest when Seymour wrote to the police on Polkinghorne’s behalf.

    Seymour then weighed in saying he could stand up and say "there’s been no such donation to me, but I’m not going to do that, and I’d urge all members of the House to think very carefully about what the implications of every member declaring every possible donation, or not, at every point of questioning.

    “If you really want to go there then we could have a very different type of politics.”

    Seymour is such a prick. Some of us do want transparency in politics so we can see who your sponsors are jackass.
