Kimbo,

(I pulled this one out of thin air.)

What is going to save Japan is craftsmanship, and a re-examination of the things we have left behind.

I still think trying to blame children drownings on their culture – extended family is rather far fetched . Children drownings happen for a host of different reasons and certainly it’s not a Polynesian exclusive as you seem to suggest .

It most often simply comes down to adequate supervision – parental , family alertness and awareness !

Yeah peterwn That’s why you check everything at least 3 times before you leave the ground
so that the next ground contact you have is the one planned for..

I can’t find the comment you were replying to in regards to little Jack and Shelly bay, I’m a Mountie and we all no the spot and I have meet the grandparents, you describe it well as being a totally different case.

Poor little fella never returned to the family.

Who else, but stephieboy! He was responding to my initial post at 11:22am about the three year Samoan kiddie who drowned, and doing his usual mental contortions to avoid assigning any responsibility to the aberrant and deficient aspects of culture that caused the problem…and are therefore not likely to change until someone calls them out for what they are:

Kimbo, not sure the point your trying to make . As I see it it’s no different to the drowning accident of 5 year old Jack Dixon,

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/10568826/Boy-swept-out-to-sea-named

It’s all about the supervision , supervision , supervision and with out your social anthropological gobbledygook .

Indian families have many similar attitudes to the Polynesian extended family like socialisation children within the extended family .Also the eldest son will usually take in and look after the parents in their declining years .

Maori and Island kids die in disproportionate numbers (and I’m not just talking drowning)…and, um, well, um, “white and Indian kids do too”…but, um, if brown kids die in greater numbers, um, well, “that is the white man’s system to blame…so stop finger-pointing and stigmatising” and throw some tax-payer money at the problem.

A classic example of how liberal left orthodoxy and agenda-setting has been facilitating and magnifying the problem of lack of responsibility and initiative with kids in the Polynesian community, rather than addressing it. Your kid, while supervised, is swept off a beach by a rogue wave in a freak accident that has never been observed in 50 years…and somehow that is the same as a three year old being allowed to wander off unobserved for an hour from a group playing volleyball by a beach…and according to stephieboy’s false equivalence, “it’s no different”.

And he’s “unsure” what my point is? No, didn’t think so…but the problem for stephieboy and his like is not conceptual, it is volitional. He does not want to accept the unwelcome fact that there are aspects of all cultures (not just white western Europeans) that are deficient, and even evil that need changing. And somehow it is more important not to “stigmatise” people or “harm their esteem” than to hold them to account for a disproportionate stream of dead kiddies. False piety and hand-wringing sanctimony from the modern vomit-inducing chardonnay socialist “people are victims” neck of the woods. I can tell you, at least the original Labour politicians – Lee, Savage, Fraser – wouldn’t have had a bar of it!

Some of the problem with the substandard care of children who are part of large families may be simple neglect of what is plentiful. IOWs what is scarce is valued….what is in abundance isn’t.

Lose one…..never mind, there’s still eleven left. Easy come….easy go.

Ho hum. Yes or no? Was their culture entirely absent from the way this group failed (to quote you) “to (provide) adequate supervision – parental , family alertness and awareness”?

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/75467982/happy-toddler-dies-in-christmas-day-drowning-tragedy

The three-year-old had been playing with several of his cousins and other children at Ocean Beach, near Waimarama, while his parents and other family members set up volleyball nets, and played a few games….Daniel said “everyone” the family knew in Flaxmere was at the beach – including many members of their church.Jimmy’s mum had been looking after her two others sons – an 18-month-old and two-year-old – and the family did not think he was in danger at any point.

“[Jimmy] was playing together with the little kids and everyone was surrounding him.”

The causes are many and varied and a common onefor toddlers is lack of supervision .Remember a moments inattention can spell disaster as this family from Dargaville found with their 19 month old ,

Exactly! You watch him like a hawk! He’s naturally curious, willful, and mobile! Mum was looking after two others, ok, so what was dad doing? Clowning around like a big kid with all the other big kids playing fucking volleyball! With a three year-old around water! And he is a recent immigrant from a small nation…surrounded by water! How fucking dumb, careless and negligent can you be?!

He should be charged with manslaughter, just as that woman (doctor?) who accidentally left her baby in the hospital carpark in Whanganui last summer, just for the exemplary message. Judge can give a suspended sentence as he cannot punish the guy any more than the loss of the kid, but save me from the members of the church community talking pieties about what a lovely kid he was…you fuckers didn’t notice he was gone while you played like big kids yourself at volleyball. And stephieboy reckons it is “far fetched” to link this to culture?! Yeah, right. Hang out at a few island community events and you’ll change your mind.

Yes , stuff ups can and do happen as with Malaysian Airlines MH 312 . Another example is American Airlines flew the wrong airline to Honolulu . TheAirbus 321 did not have proper long flight over water certification . These kind of flights include the requirement to carry additional safety features,

http://www.briansumers.com/home/2015/9/11/how-american-airlines-flew-the-wrong-a321-to-hawaii.

Recall also that Flight MH 17 just happened to be in the wrong place and a wrong time when downed by a BUK missile .

The fate of MH 370 is still undetermined but believed to be Pilot suicide .Possibly we will never ever really know for sure unless more wreckage is recovered, especially the FDR..

Uh uh. Not so fast. You owe me an answer to a question first (from 2:16pm):

Yes or no? Was their culture entirely absent from the way this group failed (to quote you) “to (provide) adequate supervision – parental , family alertness and awareness”?

And congratulations, btw on working out the “the point your (sic) trying to make”. Not that hard when you read carefully, is it? Now, any chance you will man-up and acknowledge the false equivalence you tried to draw in the drownings of Jimmy Laulu and Jack Dixon – like, say, the fact that contrary to your original assertion, the latter supervised at all times?!

Start to do that, and also trying to disguise the cultural dynamics of the particular individual death of James Laulu in a body of general statistics to avoid the unpalatable truth that culture did play a part in his death…and you may earn yourself another answer from me.

In the mean time, first things first. Yes or no? Was their culture entirely absent from the way this group failed (to quote you) “to (provide) adequate supervision – parental , family alertness and awareness”?

Diddums. A child is needlessly drowned in a situation of shocking negligence and you are more concerned with what I have to say. Got your confirmation of how ““chardonnay socialist” victim culture” plays a part in encouraging these people to remain idiots so these sort of deaths are more likely – as confirmed by statistics?!

Like I posted earlier: –

Pacific Islanders had one of the highest rates of drowning in this county.

When it comes to mouthing platitudes and engaging in moral rationalisation compared to actually trying to find a significant cause to the disproportionate number of Polynesian kids’ deaths, I know which I think is more weighty on the scales! But then for the likes of you, being “quite patronising and condescending” is the worst sins there are, aren’t they?!

Honestly, stephie, the paint-by-numbers left wing rubbish you run, it is almost enough to make me think DPF pays you a stipend to shill for posts!

EAD, note the figure of six million came from, a Rabbis speech in New York 1902 . It was an appeal to assist the beleaguered Jewish communities living in the Tsarist Empire that at the time included Poland .The total estimate by him was a pretty good one based on the available census data – 4 million in Russia itself and 2 million Poland,

Does your documentary tell us what happened to Poland’s 2.3 million Jews and the 1.5 million in Nazi occupied Russia WW2 ?

The ongoing insanity of the multicultural Left: New York Magazine Makes Light Of Female Genital Mutilation

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/12/27/new-left-new-york-magazine-makes-light-female-genital-mutilation/

This quote from the article could easily be a comment about stephieboy:

“Liberal comedian and political commentator Bill Maher has been critical of fellow-liberals who prefer to dogmatically cling to the mantle of tolerance while denying perspective. Maher has previously explained that there are many liberals, like Kilgore, who do not think seriously about their own stated positions on any meaningful philosophical level, but instead blindly adhere to political correctness, regardless of how it may violate their own espoused values.”

Samir Kuntar, the terrorist who murdered a four-year-old by smashing her skull with the butt of his rifle

Yet in 2009 a former Israeli police and Shabak psychologist said quite the opposite.

Former psychologist Zvi Sela also tells Haaretz that Samir Kuntar did not kill Danny Haran or his daughter.

[…]

“We turned Kuntar into God-knows-what – the murderer of Danny Haran and his daughter, Einat. The man who smashed in the girl’s head. That’s nonsense. A story. A fairy tale. He told me he didn’t do it and I believe him. I investigated the event within the framework of the next book I am writing, about hostage-taking incidents. As far as I am concerned, it was no more than a newspaper report. I sat with him; he was very intelligent. He was a squad commander at 17. He told me that his motive for infiltrating Nahariya was to take hostages. He said [his organization] knew that would both humiliate Israel and get them media publicity.

Diversity Is the Left’s Snake Oil: How far will social engineering go?

” The political left has been trying to run other people’s lives for centuries. So we should not be surprised to see the Obama administration now trying to force neighborhoods across America to have the mix of people the government wants them to have.

There are not enough poor people living in middle class neighborhoods to suit the political left. Not enough blacks in white neighborhoods. Not enough Hispanics here, not enough Asians there.

Nowhere in the Constitution does it grant the federal government the power to dictate such things. But places that do not mix and match people the way Washington wants them to can lose all sorts of federal money they currently receive under numerous programs.

Handing out vast amounts of the taxpayers’ money is the way the federal government has expanded its power far beyond the powers granted by the Constitution — thereby limiting the freedom of individuals, localities and states. Washington is essentially buying up our freedom with our own money, taken in taxes.

What makes this latest political crusade so ridiculous and so dangerous is that people have never been mixed and matched at random, either in the United States or in other countries around the world, or in any period of history.”

The Palestinians Descend Deeper Into Depravity

“While American eyes are rightly fixed on ISIS, Palestine’s so-called “Stabbing Intifada” continues. For those unfamiliar with the latest twist in Palestinian terror tactics, Israel is beset by a spate of apparently spontaneous stabbing attacks, where (mostly) young Palestinians grab kitchen knives or other sharp objects and do their best to stab or hack to death as many Jews as possible.

The Washington Post has the chilling details: Young Palestinians with kitchen knives are waging a ceaseless campaign of near-suicidal violence that Israeli leaders are calling “a new kind of terrorism.” There were three attacks on Christmas Eve — two stabbings and one car ramming. There have been about 120 attacks and attempted assaults by Palestinians against Israelis since early October, an average of more than one a day. At least 20 Israelis have been killed; more than 80 Palestinians have been shot dead by security forces and armed civilians during the assaults. There is a numbing repetition to the news: knife-wielding Palestinian at a military checkpoint or bus stop shot dead at the scene — or “neutralized,” as the Israeli media call it.

Many of the assaults or their aftermaths have been captured on cellphone videos. The Post calls it “a shapeless rebellion of individuals driven by an unknowable combination of hate and despair.” The hate is clear enough. This is what happens when you raise a generation of young people to believe that Jews are subhuman, that all of Israel rightly belongs to the Palestinians, and that the most vicious of child-killing terrorists are in fact glorious martyrs, worthy of remembrance with their names on public buildings.

The “despair,” however, is less convincing. The Palestinians have been offered their own state on multiple occasions — each time rejecting true independence to continue their perpetual struggle to annihilate Israel. I suppose if one of the animating purposes of Palestinian culture is the total destruction of Israel, then it does indeed cause “despair” to see Israel continue to survive and even thrive.”

Atheists and Christians Join Together to Defend Freedom of Speech

” In a surprising alliance, atheists and Christians have joined together to defend freedom of speech from a new government law in the U.K.

Christian Today reports that The Christian Institute and the National Secular Society have joined together to fight the introduction of Extremism Disruption Orders next year.

Leaders of both organizations have stated that the new legislation could seriously restrict the free speech rights of ordinary citizens.”

Let’s try a thought experiment.

Which approach is the more moral? A or B?

Situation: a disproportionate number of Polynesian kids’ deaths by drowning.
Approach A: Say this. Blame that. Advocate this. Call for that.
Result: no significant change in number of Polynesian kids’ deaths by drowning.

Situation: a disproportionate number of Polynesian kids’ deaths by drowning.
Approach B: Say this. Blame that. Advocate this. Call for that.
Result: significant decline in the number of Polynesian kids’ deaths by drowning.

I put it to you that morality ought to be measured by results; not what is said or done.

The African student who is at Oxford on a Rhodes scholarship but wants statues of Rhodes removed, has turned his attention to France.

Ntokozo Qwabe, co-founder of the movement, “Rhodes Must Fall in Oxford”, says France has committed acts of terror and he wants the French flag banned on all university campuses.

What a waste, giving a free Western education to a West hater like this.

In private, top Afghan and American officials have begun to voice increasingly grim assessments of the resurgent Taliban threat, most notably in a previously undisclosed transcript of a late-October meeting of the Afghan National Security Council.

Sure to enrage Griff:
http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2015/dec/28/climate-sceptic-maurice-newman-says-world-leaders-embracing-junk-science

A noted climate change sceptic, Newman has accused western capitalist societies of giving up on rational thinking.

“They embrace junk science and junk economics and adopt wealth-destroying postmodern pseudo-economics, which teaches that taxpayer subsidies can produce desirable ‘economic transformation’ and faster growth,” Newman wrote in the Australian.

“Climate change has cowed once great powers into meekly surrendering sovereignty and independent thought to unelected bureaucrats in Geneva. From the White House to the Lodge, private choice now runs a distant second to collectivist visions.”

We shall know in November 2016:

But does it even matter whether the public approves of a president in his final years in office? Yes; there’s more at stake than vanity.

If Obama wants his work to survive, he needs to have a Democrat succeed him. “I will campaign very hard to make that happen, for a whole variety of reasons,” he said at his news conference.

Shawn @ 3:38pm, that goes some way to explaining why some Middle Eastern men are so given to rape when they have the chance. The whole society has been sexually repressed. Victims of some backward version of Puritanism. From the article at the same link you quoted from –

“Usually involves the complete removal of the clitoris, and often the removal of some of the inner and outer labia. In its most extreme form–infibulation–almost all the external genitalia are cut away, the remaining flesh from the outer labia is sewn together, or infibulated, and the girl’s legs are bound from ankle to waist for several weeks while scar tissue closes up the vagina almost completely. A small hole, typically about the diameter of a pencil, is left for urination and menstruation. The cutting is usually done with a razor, a kitchen knife, or a pair of scissors. It is rare for any anesthesia to be used.”

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/12/27/new-left-new-york-magazine-makes-light-female-genital-mutilation/

So the men can’t have sex with those women who are made victims of this mutilation. It seems they often take out their sexual frustration where and when they can. A man married to one of the women who have suffered this abuse cannot take any pleasure from her. It’s sick. Makes me want to puke at the meanness of this. The sheer heartless brutality.

Agreed. It’s what happens when people surrender their feeble minds to the sellers of smoke.

War, pestilence, cruelty, murder all in the name of imaginary gods.

@ SGA

I’ve never spent time in Tonga or Samoa – do the beaches there contain the same sort of risks as NZ beaches, or are they more benign? Curiosity question as much as anything (I’m wondering about the drowning rate in those places).

Some answers here:

Money is a key reason for lack of swimming skills in the Pacific community, water safety advocate Lepeti Tea says. The cost of transporting children to swimming lessons and the fees themselves put parents off, but water skills education is vital to turning around drowning rates, she says.

“I want to get the Pacific community to start forking out and make it a priority.”

A free water skills workshop has been organised by Ms Tea in response to her growing concerns about Pacific people drowning in recent years.

“Late last year I just thought ‘you know what, something’s got to be done’.”

She contacted Water Safety New Zealand, who has contracted her to expand Auckland’s Pasifika water education programme to Wellington. Families are invited to Cannon’s Creek Pool on January 28 for a day of fun activities emphasising safety in rivers, around rips and while snorkelling.

“It’s about teaching people to have the skills to survive in the water,” Ms Tea says.

Beyond money, the Pacific community’s fraught relationship with the water is embedded in cultural behaviour from modesty to machismo, Ms Tea says.

Many grew up in the islands surrounded by water and were over-confident in their swimming abilities, she says.

“We think ‘oh, we’re strong in the water, we’re strong athletes, we’ll be fine’. But no, it’s killing us.”

New Zealand’s rip-prone beaches were totally different from the often calm lagoons Pacific people grew up with, she said.

“The currents, the sea, is different.”

Whakama, or modesty about being seen wearing revealing swimsuits, often leads Islanders to swim in isolated spots unmonitored by lifeguards, Ms Tea says. Alternatively, they might wear sarongs or everyday clothing in the water, which weighs them down when they need to swim to safety.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/local-papers/kapi-mana-news/6302325/Drownings-hit-Pacific-families-too-regularly

So just to be clear, if, according to stephieboy I am (note the added exclamation mark)

quite patronising and condescending !

…when I say that cultural factors played a part in the death of Jimmy Laulu, what does that make Lepeti Tea when she says the same thing about her own people?!

Modesty be buggered! With the excesses of KFC & povi masima they’re scared of being mistaken for whales & harpooned.

Kimbo,

Do they have rip-roaring surf beaches in the Pacific Islands? (You know, the kinds with undertows strong enough to pull a Hino truck.)

That would be a totally different environment to a baby-bath of a tropical lagoon.

As per the link above, generally, no. But despite that, this link: –

The need for swimming pools in American Samoa is driven by the territory’s annual rate of accidental deaths by drowning which is seven times higher than other parts of the United States.

http://www.mormonnewsroom.org.nz/article/church-supports-effort-to-decrease-number-of-drownings-in-american-samoa

…gives a good comparative insight of drownings in the Pacific Islands, irrespective of ocean conditions. So it seems it is simply accepted as “one of those things”. And things only change if

1. People individually and collectively accept responsibility

2. People individually and collectively accept the need for change

3. People individually and collectively accept the need to give up privilege

4. People individually and collectively accept the inconvenience/difficulty.

5. People individually and collectively accept the value of forging new pathways.

…and pious sanctimonious talk about “what a lovely kid he was” are usually camouflage to disguise the fact none of those things are really on the agenda,

Kimbo,

As you know, the “it’s just one of those things” mentality can be very strongly entrenched in rural, conservative and uneducated cultures (and I include those in Japan among them).

“Forging new pathways” might cost certain elements in traditional societies a lot of power, and they certainly don’t want that. Once you teach the common man to think critically, it puts a lot of entrenched privilege at risk.

And New Zealand. This is not just a “pick on other cultures, especially the Pacific Islanders (or Maori) thing. Think smoking (which, to her credit Helen Clark did much to save the lives of tens of thousands of Kiwis), and on a lesser scale, quad bike deaths.

Manolo. 11.36am.

Interesting comments about Micky Savage. He is definitately not a happy chappie. In a round about way I have been close to him lately and can report that he has a permanent scowl on his ugly dial and according to friends and associates is a grumpy bastard. Not sure if it’s problems on the home front or backlash from his association with Cunners as there was some serious anti feelings in caucus about Cunners leading up to Xmas. Micky was noted as being a liability and I believe is due for a DCM. Don’t come Monday.

Happy new year. There is a god.

So, it might be “problems on the home front” but you’re happy that there is a God? That’s a particularly nasty and sanctimonious thing to say. Disliking someone for their politics is one thing, actively wishing someone close to them had a terrible disease is another. What you’ve just said was of the latter, and it ain’t pretty.

disclaimer – this whole comment isn’t anything too close to my heart and mostly crap – it helps me think about life though.

(1) Talking of Islanders – why do they all want to leave the islands for a better life ? What’s wrong with the islands ? What do they do there, hit you with a stick or something ?

If NZ opened the floodgates open invite – would they *all* come here for a ‘better life’ ?
And that’s some better life – coming to NZ and slaving as a cleaner, English barrier – no qualifications. Do they have school and qualifications in the Islands ? Can any of them do things like maths and science ? Like – any of them ?
How’s that better life going in South Auckland and Porirua East ? We’ve made it – look at us now – look at our beautiful rundown overcrowded state house. Yeah, but it will be better for our kids. Yeah – some of them maybe. Most of them ? How are they doing in school ?

Drowned Island child – the key word there . . they were from ‘Flaxmere’. As per comments above – Islanders ain’t a shrinking population – quite the opposite. Dumb as hammers a lot of them. I don’t want to type that but it’s just the truth of it and that’s it.

(2) Film word censorship – it seems we’ve finally left the dark ages – NZ has turned the corner and now films are as intended with all the naughty words that were deemed to be oh too dreadful for our precious little poppet ears to bear left in. Aaaaah – that’s better !! It makes me want to start a new life as a director just to make some piece of utter filth that swears non-stop for ninety straight minutes on the telly release. I’d have to put a fourth wall breaking line in for ad break editing to the effect of ‘don’t even think about getting up off your big fat faggot mother-fucking ass and going nowhere, do it and I will end you and everyone close to you. Move and you’re one dead fucking *c&%nt*’ !!.

(3) End of year work parties (don’t make me say it) – comments on Stuff – geez Wayne – why do these people think that they are owed social functions by employers ? As of right ? They don’t have to do nothing (syntax intended). Why don’t these geniuses stop to think ? Just – stop to think about it a bit. Ponder.

What they hate is that people *are* treated differently depending on who they work for and what they do. So – say a law firm might have a lavish flash end of year work do. Yeah, well . . . they’re lawyers. Or IT folks. Or engineers. Or airline pilots. They’ve made it mate – and part of that is that they might have (not of) got (not gotten) a nice shindig. People aren’t all equal.

Otherwise we’re looking at laws that say – because not all employers put on social functions – we’re going to have an equal society. No-one can have a party. By law. Or – the law is – every employer has to do *something*. Far out, really ?

Ok, it’s nice if an employer puts something on or contributes in part etc – who are these people who feel that they deserve and *expect to get* it ? They’re owed a party because – because why ? Why have they jumped to ‘I’m owed something here’. The reasons given are hilarious. Because they worked hard and did extra things for nothing. Well – I’d remember that come January then. No party ? Just do your job according to description. ‘No party means I don’t feel respected or rewarded for the effort I’ve made all year’. Man, these people – do they care a little bit too much about their stinking end of year parties and how it reflects on their status or performance as an employee ? Please.

But then, I suppose that’s the NZ labour economy. I don’t know how many people ask the legitimate question – what’s the expected level of performance for these tasks and duties considering the likely pay range ? Next !! I’ll bet none of them asked ‘do you provide end of year parties’ ? How about – do we still get one even if you think I didn’t work my ring off all year ?

Anyone stupid enough to think they are owed social functions automatically signals with that thinking that they are not high enough up the ladder to be someone that’s likely to get one anyway.
