I remember going home about 25 years ago; my parents house was on SH1 north of Christchurch. I was surprised to find (because I hadn't noticed it when I lived there) that once you drove about 5-7km inland, every bridge was a one-lane bridge. Maybe they've replaced them all but it would be a hell of...

The only one I can think of is the one over the Taramakau at Hokitika, which was still operating last I heard. Suspect all the rest are gone.

This one's my favourite, a one-lane road/rail bridge.

Spot on. Knowing that people out there are gaining happiness, wealth, health, shelter, etc, at another's expense and counting that as a perquisite to self-satisfaction, at least gives an insight to some peoples political thought processes. x( I wonder how many of the same people complain about the ...

We understand it we just want to know what incentive there is in life to grow tall if everyone is going to be made as tall as you. I guess everyone can enjoy their height then. Unless enjoyment is only possible if one uses their height to look down on others. That'd be pretty sad, don't you think? ...

KD, you are going down the path of "all mass random attacks are linked to Islamic terrorism" which just isnt the case, particularly in Aus / NZ. The headline cases of recent years are not that - they are linked to mental health (this one, the Melbourne car attack in 2017), right wing extremism (Chr...

More like 3:1 actually. The same ratio as between the Netherlands and Norway. Most people would bet on the latter to fend off an invasion by the former. Look up 'defender's advantage' which operates at a ration of 3:1. What's the weather like in Moscow by the way? I'm actually very surprised to lea...

That's a hot take... :? It's ridiculous yes but so is the idea that people of middle eastern heritage should be held collectively responsible for the antisocial behaviour of some of their members. 100% :thumbup: What I would say is it wouldn't take much to whip this congregation up into a frenzy......

Euge, I received a 1 week ban for quoting something you said a while back. Enz has been very lenient to 'your side' on this thread. And this thread is a shit show because of the handful of nutters on that side. Very fair. You've got no idea what it was for. You said, it was for quoting Eug.

Aren't most mass shootings in the US done by home grown wacko white boys? Why not jump to that conclusion in this case? Or you know, wait for the facts before making an arse out of yourself. Equally, looking at the list of all mass murders (more than 4 being the threshold) in Australia shows no Isl...

One assumes MBE stands for mad bitch emeritus. Unfortunately, it's an easy conclusion to jump to, and sadly, it was my first thought as well. I did, however, have the sense to a. keep it to myself, and b. Remind myself that it could quite easily be the situation that it was, ie. the act of one dera...

And it helps explain why she is alarmed by the calls for a ‘global intifada’ heard on the streets of the uk But doesnt explain her casually linking the Bondi attack to that, when it had nothing to do with Jewish people, or any other religious or ethnic group. She made a incorrect assumption and apo...

I should apologise to everyone for going down this dumb side track, but I'm nothing if not easily diverted, so here goes one last try. My opinion of whether Hiroshima was ok or not is irrelevant. The only reason for my post is that I don't think they did it for the disgusting reason suggested by Son...

Your framing of “killed” , etc absolutely is to create doubt about the reasoning. Your “progressive” credentials in tact. Why? I was relying to this: That's what the images of Gaza were for. To show other hostile groups that if you succeed in killing jews, the consequences will be intolerable. Yes ...

As did the US in Hiroshima. I'm not a fan of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as I think there are strong grounds to believe that the Japanese were already on the verge of surrendering.

Presumably the Iranians felt compelled to respond to being attacked by Israel, though the response looks to have been carefully calibrated.
We'll see how it works out.
