Food for thought

Some people are not happy with ACT leader David Seymour’s proposal.

Some people are seeking autonomy.

Some people do not believe we should all be treated equally under one law for everyone.

Some people appear in various statistics more than others. Could this be due to genetics, culture and diet?

Some people claim the education system is letting them down. But other people seeking refuge from overseas arrive here with nothing, and unable to speak English, yet go on to excel in our society. I wonder how?

Some people blame their crime rate on social poverty. Yet in overseas countries with nationwide poverty, the crime rate is often quite low. 

Some people believe colonisation has had a huge detrimental effect on them. Yet, some other peoples have been colonised several times. The Romans invaded first (no treaty), then the Vikings invaded (no treaty), Then the Normans invaded and built all their castles in the land (no treaty). Yet the people of this land came to create the most powerful empire in the world.

Food for thought…

Some people can be offensive and racist even if they strenuously avoid using the name of the race they are offending.


Yes indeed....

......some people could be,.... thankfully though the writer in this case is merely asking questions and stating facts from the real world, which some here will vow never to have answered truthfully, kinda like the ones that may come up in the Treaty Principles Bill should it be passed.
Some people are offended often on behalf of others way too easily, and others seek answers in a rational intelligent way without defaulting to name calling.
Food for thought...indeed...
