" Nuclear fission power is not only the safest known energy source, it's the most reliable and has EROI's in excess of 50. The development and mass adoption of new generation MSR designs (which is happening very rapidly right now) would permanently ...
I'd argue that LSD is the safest intoxicant. It has the lowest harm ranking on nearly every chart
But but but Hydroxychloroquine!
I don't like her, I won't vote for her but I feel JC won this round. She's a battler alright. But no - still no National vote from me.
Good god that debate was painful
Yes seriously however on the day I could very well 2 tick labour
Come election day my decision may very well have changed. But I did want to float this idea and my reasoning for discussion because when I found my view changing I was interested to hear other thoughts. However I could very easily find myself with 2 ticks ...
" but ACT have chosen to be the Advocacy for Corporate Tax-evaders more often than defenders of individual right. " I agree which is why I want ACT to have a voice but not the ability to make law on their own
There are reasons I have that make me not want to vote Greens but I'd rather not have that be the focus of this conversation. Perhaps another thread another day.
No I don't think the government is as good as the opposition. But I want an opposition to be able to find areas of common ground (such as drug reform and abortion) rather than a party, like National, that define themselves as "we are the opposite of Labour...
Yes - I wanted to see what other people thought. And I agree - many of ACT's policies I do not support but I feel on issues where Labour and ACT agree (which are few I admit) they could work together. And I don't think ACT will get the numbers to really ...
Yeah - your second point is a good one I hadn't thought about
This is going to sound weird coming from a leftie (but I’m not tribal left) but I am thinking I might vote for ACT. Here’s my reasoning... 1) I want Labour to face opposition. I view MMP as giving people the strategic ability to not just vote for they want...
He or she is right actually - recent research has actually debunked the Stanford Prison Experiment https://www.vox.com/2018/6/13/17449118/stanford-prison-experiment-fraud-psychology-replication
You're actually the second person who has mentioned to Muldoon angle to me
Why would you think Collins had advance knowledge of the topics add who would have given them to her?
I watched the debate in its entirety. I thought Collins had the edge this time around but I am sure Ardern will bounce back for the next one.
I'd rather have more ACT than more National simply because ACT aren't conservatives. ACT may have silly economic ideas but at least they support personal freedoms like euthanasia, drug policy and free speech etc.
Most people don't go to the doc when they are sick however I think if you are off for 3 or more days at a stretch then an employer is justified in asking for a doc note. Not simply because they are suspicious the person is lying and more because you might ...
I’m going to regret asking because I know the answer will be asinine but in what way does importing coffee kill people?
Can’t wait until you launch a political party. Telling people they can only eat what grows here is bound to be a vote winner.
You want to ban the import of food? Hope you aren't a fan of pineapple or coffee...
Hey man, I don’t need convincing. the anti mask shit really bugs me
I got into a debate with some conspiracy theorist about how masks starve you of oxygen and and all that bullshit. When I countered with explaining people in the Andes regularly deal with low oxygen environments without suffering ill effect the only answer ...
While your “destroys civilisation” is a little...Errr... overstating things I do agree white collar fraud is something that should be prosecuted a little harder. But not all of it. Some amounts to simple theft, others - like Enron, is out and out fraud
You're really gun-ho for jailing people
Close enough
He was nominated by some alt-right populist in Sweden - one of around 300 or so people that have also been nominated. Chances of him winning are pretty much zero.
"... becoming a high tech economy is what we need to do." Agree. I've always had the idea that cap. gains be applied for houses but offset with tax incentives for R&D
How does it result in misallocation of resources? As far as I am aware the private hospitals have to source their own resources and are not government provided. How does a private hospital cause long queues at a public hospital? How is it selfish to pay ...
"Health should be a state monopolly." If there is a public option available but people want to pay money to have private healthcare why not let them?
