“….Harriet at 1:22 pm
Children are taught what is ‘acceptable’ behaviour and what is ‘unacceptable’.

In and of itself, that’s always been the case, hasn’t it?……”

As I pointed out – what is being taught as ‘appropriate behaviour’ is getting more pointed.

Everyone I went to school with were taught “sticks and stones will break my bones but….” – all are doing well.

Kids at secondry school and uni now get ‘marked down, reprimanded ect’ for asking ‘the wrong questions or making statements’ on ‘race, women ect’ – or God forbid – pointing out the obvious, or what is seen as the truth, ect that doesn’t fit with the ‘proscribed narrative’.

And they pay for people to treat them like that? – there’s no dignity in communism or totalatarianism either!

NZ is becoming a nursery. Of the totalatarian kind.

@ Kowtow

The Brits also condone female genital mutilation.

Various state agencies (schools, health providers etc) know it’s happening. They know to whom it is happening. And they know where it is happening. But they don’t do anything about it for fear of being culturally insensitive.

It’s this sort of stupidity and gutlessness that led to what happened in Rotherham
and Rochdale
and Oxford
and God knows where else.

Some very good comments about the threat of Islam close to home in Australia –
“Most Muslims here want peace. But the hard facts remain. Of the 21 Australians jailed for terrorism offences so far this century, all were Muslim. Most were born overseas. Most of the rest are children of immigrants from Muslim countries. Add the following: some 150 Australian Muslims have enlisted with barbaric terrorist groups of the Middle East, notably Islamic State. Another 100 Australians thought likely to join them have had their passports confiscated, and some 200 have been pulled off planes. Meanwhile ASIO is investigating 400 other cases involving Islamist threats. This is an astonishing harvest of danger from a Muslim community here of fewer than 500,000 people.
Compare: we have more than 400,000 Buddhists, yet not one Buddhist has been convicted here of terrorism -offences or shot a hostage in a Sydney cafe in the name of their faith. There is undeniably something different about Islam, or at least the way many interpret it. Then there’s the other danger: at least five prominent Australian journalists and cartoonists have been subject to serious death threats by Islamists, requiring two to move home. If you wonder why so few journalists speak frankly about these issues, there’s a clue. But with the dangers now so obvious, it’s time to call out those who so blindly exposed us to them.”

Has it? Or pointed in different directions. Being a “pro-homosexuality” school student in the 1950s would have caused you a similar amount of grief as being an “anti-homosexuality” one now.

None of this teaching ‘appropriate behaviour’ is new. For example, communism during the McCarthy years (reds under the bed anyone).

I just wonder whether, along with the perceived increase in war and disasters, the current information age means we are more aware of what is happening. In the past we did not know much of what was happening so little ‘grooming’ by the MSM/Govt was needed to mould us into obedient vassals of the state.

As an example, my parents, who do not have internet, asked about the Sabin case (which I knew the details of thanks to Mr Google and friends) as they knew “something was up” without having any idea whatsoever.

The question is now about whether the state will succeed or fail in its attempts to control the public mind.

I’m not at all sure that kids are being taught what is acceptable and unacceptable. You’re not supposed to discern any more for fear of being judgemental.

There was an opinion piece on either Stuff or the Herald this morning by a woman who was brought up in a Christian community in South Africa. One of the things she faulted her upbringing for was that she was not allowed to watch gratuitous sex and violence on TV.

That sort of moral degeneracy makes me want to weep.

As I think about it, that’s a really good modern parallel to what I’m meaning. I’m sure what the school at Gloriaville (sp?) teaches as acceptable and unacceptable is just as pointed as anything in our state schools, just pointed in a different direction.

Has it? Or pointed in different directions. Being a “pro-homosexuality” school student in the 1950s would have caused you a similar amount of grief as being an “anti-homosexuality” one now.

—————————————–

‘…different directions…”

Homosexuality is just part of the sexual agenda. Homosexuality ect is purely a matter of social construction, while hetrosexuality is also a matter of biology, and much else. Children and teens are being distracted by the sexual agenda taught by progressives, and it is doing themselves and society damage.

Here’s something pointed – that would never see the light of day in a classroom:

“….What made the traditional family remarkable, a work of high religious art, is what it brought together: sexual drive, physical desire, friendship, companionship, emotional kinship and love, the begetting of children and their protection and care, their early education and induction into an identity and a history. Seldom has any institution woven together so many different drives and desires, roles and responsibilities. It made sense of the world and gave it a human face, the face of love.
For a whole variety of reasons, some to do with medical developments like birth control, in vitro fertilisation and other genetic interventions, some to do with moral change like the idea that we are free to do whatever we like so long as it does not harm others, some to do with a transfer of responsibilities from the individual to the state, and other and more profound changes in the culture of the West, almost everything that marriage once brought together has now been split apart. Sex has been divorced from love, love from commitment, marriage from having children, and having children from responsibility for their care.
The result is that in Britain in 2012, 47.5 per cent of children were born outside marriage, expected to become a majority in 2016. Fewer people are marrying, those who are, are marrying later, and 42 per cent of marriages end in divorce. Nor is cohabitation a substitute for marriage. The average length of cohabitation in Britain and the United
States is less than two years. The result is a sharp increase among young people of eating disorders, drug and alcohol abuse, stress related syndromes, depression and actual and attempted suicides. The collapse of marriage has created a new form of poverty concentrated among single parent families, and of these, the main burden is borne by women, who in 2011 headed 92 per cent of single parent households. In Britain today more than a million children will grow up with no contact whatsoever with their fathers.
This is creating a divide within societies the like of which has not been seen since Disraeli spoke of “two nations” a century and a half ago. Those who are privileged to grow up in stable loving association with the two people who brought them into being will, on average, be healthier physically and emotionally. They will do better at school and at work. They will have more successful relationships, be happier and live longer.
And yes, there are many exceptions. But the injustice of it all cries out to heaven. It will go down in history as one of the tragic instances of what Friedrich Hayek called “the fatal conceit” that somehow we know better than the wisdom of the ages, and can defy the lessons of biology and history. No one surely wants to go back to the narrow prejudices of the past.
This week, in Britain, a new film opens, telling the story of one of the great minds of the twentieth century, Alan Turing, the Cambridge mathematician who laid the philosophical foundations of computing and artificial intelligence, and helped win the war by breaking the German naval code Enigma. After the war, Turing was arrested and tried for homosexual behaviour, underwent chemically induced castration, and died at the age of 41 by cyanide poisoning, thought by many to have committed suicide. That is a world to which we should never return.
But our compassion for those who choose to live differently should not inhibit us from being advocates for the single most humanising institution in history. The family, man, woman, and child, is not one lifestyle choice among many. It is the best means we have yet discovered for nurturing future generations and enabling children to grow in a matrix of stability and love. It is where we learn the delicate choreography of relationship and how to handle the inevitable conflicts within any human group. It is where we first take the risk of giving and receiving love. It is where one generation passes on its values to the next, ensuring the continuity of a civilization. For any society, the family is the crucible of its future, and for the sake of our children’s future, we must be its defenders.

Yes most certainly. At a time when the institutions of marriage and family are under unprecedented attack, our first duty is to protect and promote the most enduring, the most valuable, and the most child-friendly institutions known to man…..”

“Tell that to the Greeks of Constantinople and what was Greek Asia Minor.”

Not a relevant comparison. That was full scale military invasion that had little if nothing to do with demographics or immigration.

“Time ,birth rates ,immigration and their will to conquer”

The article made to valid points. One, there is no “their.” Islam is not a monolith. The is a very wide variety of views within Muslim communities. Two, the birth rates claim does not add up. The article crunches the numbers, and they don’t come anywhere remotely near those needed to make Britain a Muslim state.

I have concerns about Islamic extremists and terrorists, but they are not the entirety, nor the majority, of most Muslim immigrant populations, and the Eurabia myth looks suspiciously like an Islamic version of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Reducing millions to a single “Other” with evil plans for domination is extremely simplistic thinking with a bad historical track record.

@ Shawn

Sadly, it doesn’t take majorities of communities to be actively involved before major strife and terror can happen. The host community can tacitly support a tiny terrorist minority. Or the host community can be cowed by a few extremists.

Northern Ireland is a case in point. Very few republicans would never have dreamed of taking part in para-military executions and bombings. Nonetheless, the Provos held sway; and the activities of perhaps a few hundred volunteers meant that up to 15,000 British troops were needed to keep the lid on things.

Five days before it was announced that Unite Union organiser Shanna Reeder would represent and advise Amanda Bailey, Reeder had implied John Key could be a repeat sexual harasser and said “in my view this behaviour is abhorrent and he should resign immediately”.

I think it’s fair to ask when Reeder first discussed this issue with Bailey. Before Bailey’s revelatory post? Before Reeder’s post two days later? Or after that.

Shanna Reeder: Key is a sexual harasser who “should resign immediately”

Not if they had had a free hand to shoot the few hundred “volunteers”,most of whom were well known to the authorities. That would have been the way to put the dogs down.

But they didn’t have a free hand, did they?
What you suggested would have been militarily effective, but it would have been a political disaster.
It would have played right into the hands of the republicans.
A present day parallel is Gaza. The IDF could easily go in there and kill the whole of Hamas in a day or two.
But what would they gain from doing so?

Maria, a devout Catholic, got married and had 10 children.
After her first husband died, she remarried and had 10 more children.
A few weeks after her second husband died, Maria also passed away.
At Maria’s funeral, the priest looked skyward and said, “At last, they’re finally together.”
Her sister sitting in the front row said, “Excuse me, Father, but do you mean she and her first husband, or she and her second husband?”
The priest replied, “I mean her legs.”

Shawn – “Why Britain Will Not Become an Islamic State”

I don’t agree with his conclusions. His main points seems to be along the lines of muslims are broke, and the population will stay white because of immigration, including from Australasia.

Whether parts of Britain adopt Sharia Law is only dependent on their population growth, and how far the progressives in government will bend over to avoid somebody calling them racist (which would appear to be a long way). The other problem is, it appears all the immigration is in to Australasia from the UK, not the other way around, hence exacerbating the problem. Another issue would appear to be, since the EU is not stemming the arrival of boats carrying muslims from North Africa, some of the EU immigration he is talking about which will “save” Britain, is likely to be these immigrants.

(1) Why does Lydia Ko have an American accent ?

(2) Why does anyone care about NZ rich kid poverty tourists from chch being in Nepal during the earthquakes ?

(3) Why are NZ adverts becoming more and more American ? ‘No money down’ I heard in one describing a deposit for a new car.

(2) (continued) Is it just me, or is it a bit weird to send 26 teenage schoolgirls and 4 teachers 11 000 odd kms to ‘help’ build classrooms ? They must be pretty good tradespeople, did they fly workers around the globe because they were the best available ? That’s thirty airfares and costs. It’s all about the poor ever-breeding third world folks of course – it’s much better to go over there and build a mud hut with a whiteboard with donated time and labour than to stay at home and give them the money saved to build a NZ style classroom the quality of which probably cannot be thrown together by a bunch of well-off schoolkids.

No one deserved to be in an earthquake once, let alone twice, she said.

Yes – jolly bad luck having the disposable income to take school trips costing thousands to other earthquake prone bits of planet earth.

Apparently destinations shortlisted for 2016 / 2017 include Haiti, Chile, California, Messina Italy and Tangshan China.

Dopey rich kids.

Our mission while at the orphanage was to build a library. Turns out that we, a group of highly educated private boarding school students were so bad at the most basic construction work that each night the men had to take down the structurally unsound bricks we had laid and rebuild the structure so that, when we woke up in the morning, we would be unaware of our failure. It is likely that this was a daily ritual. Us mixing cement and laying bricks for 6+ hours, them undoing our work after the sun set, re-laying the bricks, and then acting as if nothing had happened so that the cycle could continue.

Nazza – I have new observations of the very feral . . .

Walking from NW Porirua, between there and the shopping centre – four down and out likely lad brown cuzzybros hoodies the whole get-up trying to ‘hit people up’ for some moolahs. Their fucking obvious as fuck scam was ‘got some money bro, I’ve run out of gas’. Fuck me.

Four of them – all spaced apart 5-10 metres. Who on earth do these shtihead dumbc&%ts think they’re fooling ? It was like the Gallipoli Anzac Cove landing of scum avoidance. Odds are stacked right against you. Surprised I made it past one – ooh – third one got me. Just keep walking – I put my hand up to my face to physically block loser out. I saw one of them nodding to his mates like ‘that fella – him – do him’. Dickheads.

Yeah – I’ll buy you some petrol – show me your car bro – the one that’s out of juice mate. Where’s the fucking car dick ? I’ll buy you petrol – let’s go to the pumps and buy some. Where’s your container ? Need money for one of them too ? And a road legal car ? Cuz – you need a car first to put the petrol into. Are all of you fellas out of cars and petrol every single day this week ?

I look quite ‘feral chic’ myself but these fuckers are so incredibly thick that they can’t even smell their own the useless turds. Do I *look like* I’ve got any money ?? Morons.

Schoolgirls from NZ . . . to the Nepal kids it’s like a sci-fi flick – aliens from another world with advanced far superior mind-bendingly impossible to comprehend technology.

We’d like you to meet your new mates these weird young white women. Not only are they from a country where *everyone* there is 100x better off than you are with luxury items like supermarkets and petrol – but even all of those lucky as anything rich folks are poor as churchmice compared to the uber-moneybags freaks that have come here to hang out with you. So – your new pals are like – rich times rich times rich through your eyes. Lab tests could be required to show that both of you are, in fact, the same species. I might know what that’s like if Donald Trump spent a week helping me add on a conservatory. We know you’ll get on really well with them – don’t worry that their families could buy and sell your whole village a thousand times over. Really, we’re all the same when you take away the smartphone, i-shit, processed food, shopping malls, cinemas, cafes and restaurants, holiday homes, 4WDs, fuel use, intensive food production, wine and beer . . .

Yes, they certainly are different. They wait until they are your nanna’s age to start having kids. No, they’re not married yet. I know – very different.

The spelling is ‘bizarre’ mate. Just the one ‘z’. You clearly didn’t go to St Margaret’s – they would never let you slip through the cracks.

I’m saying just call it what it really is – a luxury expenditure rich kid trip which is all about me me me me me.

World Challenge have a fundraising help page – far out – talk about ‘least worthy causes on planet earth of all time’ – donating to someone else’s bloody holiday trip – you must be shitting me.

If they want to spend thousands on a trip – good. You can’t have it both ways though. They are poverty tourists – all the World Challenge expedition countries are ‘our poor little friends who we all feel rea-lly sorry for’. What – you can’t just take the class to see Europe ? Does that somehow not make it an expensive overseas trip ? Going to Nepal instead of Disneyland ? They didn’t just pick Nepal because they love the scenery – it has the warm-fuzzy factor that it’s a ‘trendy’ place with lots of poor people ‘to help’ and ‘learn about / learn from’ – cool, that makes it a noble trip because of all the caring about the poor people – we’re here for that.

It’s like this – little Tabitha has to go on a trip somewhere because she can, so why not ? Not Paris, London or New York – because then you’re just showing off. But Nepal is ok , because that’s some kind of in part or total ‘humanitarian trip’. It’s brilliant – that way it’s ‘ok’ to come back home and tell everyone who will listen about your rich kid trip that wasn’t to Las Vegas.

Rant: 1.a spell of ranting; a tirade.

hmmmm – I’m ok with it.

The invasion continues. What to do with the horde of refugees?
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/05/italy_rescues_3700_north_african_refugees_in_24_hours.html

Nearly 3,700 migrants were rescued from boats near the coast of Libya on Saturday and early Sunday and more rescue operations were expected during the day as people smugglers took advantage of calm seas, Italy’s coast guard said.

All of those rescued were being brought back to Italian shores, a spokesman for the coast guard said, and some reached Lampedusa, Italy’s southernmost island, during the night.

Another undercurrent in the latest fundraising efforts here is the lingering bad blood caused by the defection of some big Clinton donors – most notably, Geffen – to Barack Obama in 2008. Most of those donors are now back in the Clinton fold, but some are notably unenthusiastic.

“Here’s the deal,” said one such donor. “I have to tell you, there is such a lack of enthusiasm for Hillary it’s really kind of stunning. We’re raising our $2,700, but that’s all we’re doing. Nobody’s called us. I mean, in the ’90s, we gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to Clinton and the party and the congressional committees. Hundreds of thousands. We might have been minor players compared to George Soros, but nobody’s called us.”

Bonjour, mes amis.

The American presidential elections are amazing, n’est-ce pas? Countless millions of dollars and they still end up with one of the same candidates they started with.
