Craig - you can't call theatre & then continue the arguement.

Kia kaha Dave Hansford.
Anyone who feels so inclined may wish to email the Listener to share their views on this issue.
Kia ora

Whoa - Scripture Battles - pointless ?! = $$
Scripture Battles (c)
Scripture Battles name and concept are now copywrite for reality TV as gameshow & panel discussion.

The thing that gets me is the *Right to Smack* crowd et al quote Deuteronomy 21:18-21 but ignore Deuteronomy 17:08-13, Legal Decisions; 17:13 "All the people will hear and be afraid, and will not act presumptously again."
Scripture battles are pretty pointless, but if I can paraphrase - The decisions on bashing kids has been made - stop it and get over it.

Steve - I'm right then in following Hansfords premis, from the Herald covering this year.
The one thing we have to thank Climate Change deniers about is checking Green Hyperbole.
Al Gore is guilty of it in regard to NZ role in saving the Pacific. We are guilty of in in our 100% Pure Tourism campaign.
That's not to say alarms aren't warranted but they can be over stated beyond the findings. People start making sh!t up or quoting stats out of thin air.
The NZCSC are being highly ethically questionable to say if we don't know we shouldn't act.
In science nothing is ever truely known. Not every thing can be measured. We have to go with the best we can NZCSC are not the best, or even what they might have been 30yrs ago.

whoops - her life was a lot worse than just the part I relayed. Not trying to compare events in different peoples lives.

Che - Thinking back her story was a lot worse than that.

Here's the Heralds Environment page online:
16April a story on Climate Change :)
14April a story on Carbon :)
14April Gary McCormick fence sitting so as not to get the bash from Simon Barnett :(
11April Good story from Reuters - 1/3 of oceans warming :)
10April Propaganda from the deniers posing as a legitimate group by plagarising the UN conference of the same name :(
8April - brilliant story from Niwa on how Climate Change may effect us & BEER - too late they've all gone dirty dairying already. :)
8April - Missinfomation special on the positives of global warming. Current thought (& yes it always changes because we're always thinking) revolves around climate change which may bring about more extremes of weather. :(
28March an online poll of ignorance :(
These last eight 'stories' on Climate change have:
Four about Climate Change as a reality - 1 nicked off Reuters & 1 Brilliant one from Niwa
Four from climate change deniers or monkeys with type writers
Hansford is right, the deniers get 1/2 the copy and are but a fraction of the thought. As with the ice shelves getting smaller and a more slippery position to hold day by day.

I've lived in a couple of Family Homes as the child of residential social workers.
The last one had a neighbour who acted outwardly as a kindly Grandfather figure.
One of the girls in our home was my age (12yrs) and especially close to him.
Every now and again his wife would drop around a desert. That desert co-insided with the young girls visits next door.
I haven't worked out if it was guilt, a bribe, or to check up on her, but his wife clearly knew and did nothing to stop it.
He got name suppression and a suspended sentence.

I do hold issue with this sentence:
"When the two researchers finished writing their report lastyear, they sent it halfway around the world to Chris deFreitas, an associate professor in the school of geography andenvironmental science at the University of Auckland, in NewZealand."
Halfway around the world - hmm - <biting tonge>
