Re: NZ Politics Thread

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...

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...
