Be careful when posting comments on Stuff.
I just posted a comment on Stuff about the number of rather silly people on our roads. I used the term 'idiots' and got a message back from Stuff saying I have used inappropriate language. I changed 'idiots' to 'dreamers' and it got through. However the term 'idiots' and 'dreamers' really have different meanings in the context I used it. So what term could I have used instead of 'idiots' to convey a sense of 'stupid' ?
Censorship is alive and doing well in New Zealand. Is Stuff now owned and operated by Youtube ? Or is this the new woke of not being allowed to use descriptive words where they are needed ?
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
