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. Scumbag MSD worker steals from vulnerable clients and gets well wishes from the judge

    Denise Clout racked up debt on behalf of unwitting clients and forced them to pay it back. She used the state apparatus to deceive and defraud. She preyed on the vulnerable instead of assisting them. She breached the human rights act, social security act and crimes act all before her robust morning tea. Her lawyer Annabel Cresswell said if convicted, Clout would suffer mental harm and it would affect her future job prospects. Judge Deb Bell wished Clout well after sentencing her to 6 months home detention. You want girl power, you got girl power.

She preyed on the vulnerable instead of assisting them. She breached the human rights act, social security act and crimes act all before morning tea, and came back for more.

    RNZ Local reporting article all about dog registration and fines. Can you find the facts about the cost of registering — the amount, the period, can it be 6 or 12 months etc.?

    It’s like the news has to be about finding fault, representing some in society as totally irresponsible – of course only the poorer ones, not those held in higher esteem who are, because of their superior positions, high enough to view their own as well as others misdeeds.

    • My comment about what is reported does not encompass the outrage detailed by EthanB above. Where have all the values gone, Long time passing,,,Long time ago?
      What were the wars for, What the protests about, Why did people bother to get better laws, systems, when their own group will come and undo it all later, starting a new movement, fashion? Girl power, what?

  4. Jane Goodall has died aged 91. RIP
    The news refers to her being an ‘incredible human’. Which occurs to me that is what we all are. We have become god-like even in our powers. So if you think more highly of yourself and those around you, we can all be responsible for helping our species treat each other better and able to adapt and survive continuing the good traits we have built into our society, limiting the use of the good, and cutting down on the bad.
