I agree. I think when the media wields the power it does, any knowingly-made distortion of the truth, especially when it concerns someones public reputation, should be cause for legal action.

Not wanting to as aussierogue put it, “start a religious argument”, but I feel I should make a quick defence of christ’s teachings.
(i) The crusades, not to mention the spanish inquistion, were indeed terrible, but what is noteworthy is that they blatantly betrayed the highest teaching of christ ‘love thy neighbour’. This is in contrast to what…[Read more]

I can’t see any reason why bidding against them and winning the house is in any way immoral. The system is, (and it’s a fair system), that whoever is willing to pay the most for a house at auction gets the house.

I agree with russh – if its not making money its a burden. however if selling would lose more money than mortgaging, mortgage but be sure to buy a positive IP that will fully pay the costs of ownership.

I agree. I think NZ is prime investing. No capital gains. A culture firmly in love with property. No stamp tax. Other favourable tax breaks for property.
