Re: Israel Gaza war and protests

Crikey, you think the US democracy is equal to a dictator …. If a choice between two puppets of a kleptocracy is better than a dictator then I guess the US is better. While hypocrisy exists my vote and freedoms are 1,000 times better than anything offered in Russia. I'd agree that they're somewhat ...

Re: Highlanders vs Crusaders Match Thread

Barrett injured. Have we had a game this season where we haven't lost a player to injury in the week leading up to match day? Rob Penney needs to go, not because he's a good or a bad coach, but because he's the unluckiest coach in the history of pro-Rugby. I feel sorry for him that he's cursed, but...

Re: Israel Gaza war and protests

It’s hard to think of any President that would have opposed Israeli action from the start. Biden is hardly unique. Trump certainly wouldn’t be ruminating about Rafah, he’d be all in . Trump would be spending his efforts in Saudi Arabia and sending cruise missiles into Iran. He’s for a 2 state solut...

Re: NZ Politics Thread

What I don't get is that if these people didn't buy the homes, they would be renting them - so it didn't change the equation at all really.

Biden is clearly better than Trump. The quandary is that if he keeps winning that sets the standard; he's good enough. Just possibly if he loses they'll try to do better. Sure mate . As if Trump wouldn’t have supported just as vehemently, and frankly I doubt he would even consider restraint- ever. ...
