The Daily Blog Open Mic – 10th February 2025

Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.

The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog,  3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.

All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.

EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird Bullshit about the UN taking over the world  and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.

  1. The owners were determined to do what they wanted with this wetland; as owners they were suppose to take on government’s duties. It should have been purchased by the Crown and returned to Maori who could then take responsibility for it. The outcome of not taking it out of business and private interests was predictable.

    This is similar to the single-minded rapacious approach in the Amazon where in one tribal area, the last man standing, after two murdering incursions decimating the people over decades, is now dead. After lying down and placing macaw feathers over him, to carry out his own ritual; as one who has had everything stripped from him by the clawing of human greed and individualism.

    Where would we be without big bad Russia to stir us up with indignation or indigestion or both. (Read about Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn – and get all agitated about how bad Russia is.
    Then remember all the things that all of the good western countries have done and the Indian/ other Asian ones also.)

    Schopenhauer on why bad people get power. He was too pure and obsessed with his ideas to learn how to explain them to others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhnGkW9Vtq0

    When history is viewed all peoples have behaved badly.. The song is ‘Anything you can do, I can do better’. It’s fun, have a wry laugh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO23WBji_Z0

  3. A good start for Kiwi Rail in Northland. —

    Now make it work for all and make a profit too, I am sure you can do it providing gummint doesn’t charge huge ground rent for the tracks etc and for buildings storing equipment, future loads waiting for transport. If ground rent is demanded then the roads and the trucking firms must pay half, equality!! And charges must be kept reasonable ensuring effective use of the system.
