RE: Coronavirus - New Zealand
@taniwharugby said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
A post on social media from Russell Coutts;
I'm heading to Wellington next week to join the protest. It's the first time I've ever felt compelled to join a protest.
I'm not anti-vaccine (I'm vaccinated) but I'm definitely against forced vaccinations.
I'm also strongly opposed to the ever increasing erosion of our human rights and the growing limitations on our freedom of choice. I believe in having the freedom to be able to question so-called "expert" opinion.
I'm against discrimination and the "them and us" society that is being promoted by our current political leaders.
I'm against creating different rights, laws and privileges based on Race.
I'm also against the irrational Covid rules that are currently being mandated in New Zealand, a few examples being;- The 10 day quarantine that still remains for international travel.
- The absurd rules where our kids (vaccinated and unvaccinated) can sit in the same classroom and play sport together inside the school yard, yet are prohibited from playing sport together outside the school yard.
- The absurd rules that prohibit two young unvaccinated brothers, living in the same household, from sailing together in a sailing competition because they would be within two metres of each other while sailing their boat.
- The rules that require one to put on a mask to walk to and from the bathroom inside a restaurant when masks have already been removed while eating and drinking.
- The contradictory rules that allow unvaccinated people to take a domestic flight (with a negative Covid test) but prohibit a young unvaccinated kid from competing in their sport (outside school).
- The fact that our kids are forced to wear masks at school (even when it's well known that the surgical masks most of them are wearing are highly ineffective).
Finally and perhaps most important, I'm against the fact that some of our mainstream media have received payment from the New Zealand government conditional on them promoting government policy, propaganda and spin.
So yes, I'll be joining the protest in Wellington.
Are the protestors sure he isn't going to defect to the govt. if offered a better deal?

RE: Wallabies v Springboks II
From GAGR -
"It's pretty inspirational that the Boks are even playing in this tournament. Seems Etzebeth and many of their forwards suffer from serious chronic medical conditions, severe forms of arthritis, perhaps, and struggle to go more than 14 seconds without being attended to by a legion of medical staff for a minute or two. Leaving the care home -- whence I assume they all reside, what with all this constant need for medical attention -- must be a pretty daunting experience. They have displayed true courage simply by turning up to Australia, let alone finding the willpower to partake in a match of rugby union football." -

RE: US Politics
I also agree with my more left leaning friends on this forum that there is probably not fraud of any significant scale. The US system is very decentralized. It is difficult to cheat on a massive scale. If you vote twice, your original vote plus the fake ones are thrown out.
I also think the mail-ins should have been counted at first if possible. Even if legitimate, the late dumps after the election day vote at 4 am give the perception of suspicious minds (and trust me that is the majority of Republicans) that the Dems knew how much was needed. But to be clear, I don't believe there has been mass fraud unless proven.
Trump should NOT be going around saying that. They should simply get their lawyers and court litigations and quietly go about the checking and recount processes that may be needed.
If Trump loses, and it seems he almost certainly will, there will be a tiny fraction of militant right wing extremists wanting to, shall we say, do something, in revenge if the major perception is the Dems won by fraud. Trump has a responsibility to shut the fuck up about this. But the horse has bolted.
I am withdrawing my support for him for the time being unless it is proven it was a steal by the Dems because I think he is being irresponsible for the whole country and you can still do all the checking through litigation anyway.

@frank I don't see the need to add skin colour. Just keep it to "safe".
Nah - safe white boy is way funnier.

RE: 2022 Predictions
@tim Thought his thread was about the world and Covid.
One prediction, the Fern will give credit to Joe Schmidt for any positive changes in the ABs and all criticism to Foster for anything that goes wrong.
