'White' is not strictly speaking a race. It depends upon the context, but the 'white people' reference is commonly used as an artificial boundary to separate Caucasian, fair complexioned people of European descent. But the lines become very blurred, for example with East Europeans and even some...

Neither do I, I give anybody the same respect and like to learn about them. I tried to find some common ground with some Afghans and was met with anger, they thought I was being intrusive just for asking about them. Fair enough I decided and just let it go.

All New Zealanders and Australians need visa's to enter the UK, even the 'white' people.

I've met a few Afghans here and they seem to be a different case to other Muslims here, they tend to carry more grievance. Living in a state of grievance tends to influence a persons perceptions, the author is more likely to notice negativity. But it is better to count ones blessings.

Yes there is some truth in what she writes but not a lot of balance. Nobody said New Zealand is perfect, there is always going to be ignorance and prejudice towards minority groups in any country. As a native New Zealander I have experienced this all my life, I learned to ignore it. But she...

He has softened his language about New Zealand, praising our Prime Minister for her leadership following the attack. However he speaks a different language to his voters and has proven himself, like most politicians, to be politically expedient with the truth, using the Christchurch Mosque...

New Zealand does not have the death penalty for any offense. Tarrant is likely to be given New Zealand's longest custodial sentence, the current record holder has life imprisonment with a 30 year minimum. This is the starting point for Tarrants term, which could be as much as a 40 year minimum...

I don't think Erdogan's comments should be taken too literally, but the problem is he is inflaming the situation in a manner that can cause more violence and bloodshed of innocent people, both Muslim and non-Muslim alike. Cool heads need to prevail at a time like this, and not all the facts are...

Please don't get upset with me for saying this, I try to keep a neutral perspective on things, but only the Mossad would have the capability of conducting such an operation. They have the experience and, through the diaspora, necessary support anywhere in the world to pull it off (covertly anyway).

I should point out that there are people already lining up to take this guy out in prison, and for that reason he is going to be nearly impossible to get to. He is facing an indefinite term in solitary confinement in the most recently built maximum security wing at Paremoremo. These ideas of...

And how would they do this?

There will be difficulties charging Tarrant as a terrorist, New Zealand's Terrorism Suppression Act was designed for surveillance and prevention of acts of terrorism. That, and the fact that NZ prosecutors have no experience working with the act (this is the first act of terrorism in NZ since...

That's the exact intention in how it is being used in this case, its about respect and solidarity. Its important I suppose that is communicated, I know that Haka can be taken out of context. It can look like a strange way to express support and respect but we use it at funerals, weddings...

Take my word for it, they won't be turning up to a fight with sticks and clubs. ;) And the other thing that scares some people here is the majority (about 80% last time I checked) of our army is Maori and Polynesian.

Just remember, 'they' do not speak for everybody in our country. The Muslim community has found itself a lot of support here as a result of this act of evil. I don't really support the gangs here in NZ, even though I have family in both of our two biggest-Black Power and Mongrel Mob. Along with...

I agree, I was collecting Silver Surfer through the early 90s run. It started getting good when Thanos returned in the lead up to Infinity Gauntlet. For about 4-5 years Surfer was one of Marvels best characters but he hasn't been written well very often since, apart from his role in Annihilation...

Yeah I'm being hopeful, but I know some of the stingers in other MCU films have been shoe horned in at the last moment. But if the stingers include characters not related to the film they follow, they either feature a sneak peak at footage from upcoming releases or are created by the director...

I'm hoping to see either Wolverine (Jackman or a new actor), Silver Surfer and/or Galactus, or a Fantastic Four appearance in the stingers.
