I wish I was so sure of things and so self-righteous. It must be wonderful to feel so perfectly moral. I try to be sympathetic to everyone. On a personal level, I didn’t vote for Trump before and I won’t this time. why ? does everyone deserve it or even want it ? I don’t think that I am superior to...

I've been doing this by trying to explain that when it comes to politics, it is normal, healthy even, that reasonable people have wildly differing opinions. There's nothing immoral or wrong with that. At this stage, there's really nothing left to be said on the matter. Either you're for pluralism o...

I think it is which English dialect predominates in places. Like the Brits say Herb, while the yanks say ‘erb, which could well come from the part of England that the settlers came from.

Re: Maori language questions

I have a question on how the apostrophe is used/pronounced in Maori words. Is a glottal stop, a break like a hyphen, or what? Do you mean the 'macron'? Such as the macron above the letter 'a' in Māori? If so, the macron means a long vowel sound. No, I’m speaking about the apostrophe in these surnam...
