Ms] Karu went to [her] home. after she found out the woman was sleeping with her partner. knocked on the front door and became "highly aggressive and agitated". saying 'come out here you f* *ing b* ch, come out here, I'm going to kill you'. LOL - 'Marae justice' anyone? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Rob Good in LA.

he rupahu noiho: August 2007
http://rupahu.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 20, 2007. Til the fat lady's stabbed? Heather MacDonald in a long, depressing essay on the phenomenon of Regietheater. Director's theatre), an unwelcome development in Europe where operas are debased with all manner of gratuitous violence, explicit sexual acts and debauchery, including orgies and massacres. The 'modern' restaging and reinterpretation is completely at odds with the composers' original intentions. An example from The Abduction from the Seraglio. Yet there is hope. An unl...

he rupahu noiho: finnicky food fanatics
http://rupahu.blogspot.com/2007/06/finnicky-food-fanatics.html
Monday, June 11, 2007. We're becoming more entangled in the ever-encroaching tentacles of nanny-state with the education ministry's decision to ban 'unhealthy' food. From school tuck shops. The govt fat-phobics' feeble excuse is their priority to educate students about making healthy food 'choices'. But having regulations forced down your throat is no 'choice'. A shame the govt doesn't give the same due attention to 'educate' pupils in reading and writing as our nation's literacy rates decline.

he rupahu noiho: Back again
http://rupahu.blogspot.com/2008/01/back-again.html
Thursday, January 17, 2008. Long time, no see, huh? My last months of '07 were spent online at a mate's Facebook (no link, sorry - 'invitation only' to avoid trolls and weirdos) discussing moteatea. It was great to spend time with really keen, enthusiastic people who are so passionate about Maori oratory. It was humbling to be among such learned company; folk who are knowledgeable about kapa haka. I have shifted my blog to thorndonbubble.org. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). New Zealand News Sites.

he rupahu noiho: just awful
http://rupahu.blogspot.com/2007/03/just-awful.html
Saturday, March 31, 2007. No week is complete without a customary jab at the tripe merchants who call themselves journalists. Political writer, Audrey Young, obliges with a featherbrained forecast. About Beehive life in the year 2011. Oh, Audrey, this column is just plain silly. Parliamentary prognostication? Have you combined your politics column with the horoscope section? Please return to your usual. Well, the ratings at the end of that tripe say it all! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

he rupahu noiho: Sack the lot of them!
http://rupahu.blogspot.com/2007/04/sack-lot-of-them.html
Thursday, April 12, 2007. Sack the lot of them! Between 50 - 60 jobs to be axed. At TVNZ's news and current affairs section as the broadcaster faces a 15.5% drop in net profit. But if cuts are due to a loss in (advertising? Revenue which is directly linked to declining ratings, then the news-makers have only themselves to blame. TVNZ news is rubbish. Elsewhere the political news is fluff. E.g. The prime minister goes to Washington and the big scoop is prez Bush complimenting a kiwi journo on ...Our impor...

he rupahu noiho: Just say "No"
http://rupahu.blogspot.com/2007/03/just-say-no.html
Saturday, March 31, 2007. Christian camp to be held to promote chastity among young women. I applaud this move and endorse celibacy and monogamy for all single youths, both as a corrective to promiscuity (there's no sound, practical reason to promote sluttiness) and as a preventative health measure: physical, psychological and social. You might think the "Purely Girls! FPA are also openly hostile to Catholicism's stance on pre-marital sex, although remarkably silent about Islam, which is likewise prohibi...

he rupahu noiho: Nanny says...
http://rupahu.blogspot.com/2007/06/nanny-says.html
Monday, June 25, 2007. The Sunday Star Times has an editorial scolding us. For using the term 'nanny state'. Defending the draconian anti-smacking law, it claims:. It is right. that the government should support [parents] in finding other ways of correcting their kids". The "nanny state" is a cliche and an obstacle to clear thought.". Do people never decide to join gyms or go on diets? 14 year olds are incapable of making rational choices; the new anti-smacking laws won't criminalise good parents. The au...

he rupahu noiho: SHAME!
http://rupahu.blogspot.com/2007/06/shame.html
Tuesday, June 19, 2007. Ma te whakama e patu". Let shame be your punishment. This is sex pervert, Chris Campbell,. An ex-district councillor whose convictions for possessing child pornography were overturned on appeal because of a technicality. Judge Raynor Asher ruled an affidavit appended with a search warrant was not well prepared. So a child predator goes free. Disgusting! The appeal judge chose a very pedantic interpretation of the law. It may he been legally correct, but justice was not done...

he rupahu noiho: Welcome to the Other Side
http://rupahu.blogspot.com/2008/01/welcome-to-other-side.html
Thursday, January 17, 2008. Welcome to the Other Side. On Monday, 13 January, 2008, the NASA probe MESSENGER. Snapped this photo of Mercury, the first time in history anyone's seen this hidden side of the planet. Because of its rotational peculiarities and proximity to the sun, this face of Mercury has never before been photographed. More unprecedented images of the tiny planet are expected as the MESSENGER craft completes three flybys of Mercury before settling into orbit in March 2011.". Rob Good in LA.
