If we want to see a kindergarten bully who outgrew his school uniform, than we just need to watch the US president - no need to drop the standards on this forum to the same lows ...

Well said BP but it aint going to happen. Balance seems to think this is his sandpit and if you dont play by his rules he unleashes childish personal insults on you. Decent people have stopped posting on this thread because of him. Its a shame Share Trader allows this to happen.

Compare this thread to the End of Life forum. Discussions around end of life care and the End of Life Bill can be extremely emotive. There have been some fabulous posts from people both for and against the End of Life Bill. People have shown respect for other peoples view points, there has been no personal abuse directed at someone with a differing point of view. I have found it to be an extremely helpful thread and I have valued hearing other peoples points of view

Look in the mirror, RB.

You are quite wrong Balance. Most of the insults on here originate from you.

Think of the number of skin cancers fair skinned women in NZ could have prevented if face veils had been part of our cultural attire.

Dobby41 conveniently ignores the fact that Cindy wears the hijab as well to spite those Muslim women who pleaded with her not to do so.

[QUOTE=Balance;848182]Despicable and repugnant comment.

What is wrong with anyone showing their faith openly and appealing to their Christian faith value voters?

Going to be interesting to see how "Ms Colins" Christian values will be displayed when Jacinda takes home the Nobel Peace prize tonite!

If she gets the peace prize, you can understand why Cindy has been so keen to wear the hijab against the pleas of the oppressed Muslim women.
