Well said, Anne. I am not sure if my intelligence ever peaked at all, but would also opt for mid-20s if obliged. The Dunning Kruger effect may be important, but I think we should not underestimate the Homer Simpson "D'oh" effect..

Reply to Thinker Bola was remarkable because it strangely stopped and sat off Gisborne's coast for quite a while, and it punished the local area terribly. Gabrielle was more powerful, and we are dead lucky that she did not what Bola did. Gabrielle kindly ...
... involvement or guilt in provoking the whole thing in the first place...
Yes, but a total non sequitur from you. Please explain how you worked your non-sequitur out.
I said no such thing. How on Earth did you mis-leap to that conclusion? They deny any part in provoking the whole thing. That is a far greater lie than the Russians calling it a 'SMO' for reasons of legal technicalities.
'Special Military Operation' seems pretty innocent when USA and its Military Industrial Complex pretend to have played no part in it at all.
... either information or misinformation. Remember - in any war, truth is the...
I find your over-confidence and naivety a little off-putting. In earlier times, I suspect you would have made a great religious zealot.
More like cynical about the truth of it, I would think. As I think any intelligent person should be.
So Poincaré is suggesting that I may have another lifetime of drinking quality stuff? I cannot help but like his optimism. Shakespeare would have said 'I can but like...' If language is the mind's instrument of thought, we nowadays seem to have an inferior...
Belladonna - they are intending to sell them on to others, in the back of a pub somewhere. Profitable, probably, with no nasty consequences to sellers.

... they see as errors. If in the future a new Bible... the cruel who took part in stonings.
Thank you Francesca I am inclined to agree with you rather than the super-confident hoards who so eagerly expound the pro 5-eyes propaganda our media so fervently feed us. I would have thought that anyone who had read 1984 would be at least a little ...
'unformed excrement'? Or maybe you meant uninformed? Either way, the excrement remains upon you own keyboard. Try to be more careful please.
... time that TV was young in this country I read that... researchers had established that ads in general were written the language... reading ability. Shrewd researchers working in advance for the advertisers had...
Robert, we simply move into our second childhood. Nobody likes cynics, truthsayers, or whistleblowers nowadays.
Yes, good. I feel that Common Sense often means over-simplification to suit a group of people who want to believe the so-called common sense anyway. As the term was (ab)used by Peter Dunne.
True, AB. Schools and hospitals will have been told, 'Let's get the economy right first!' Years of underfunding will follow, but never will schools or hospital hear that there has been an economic boom, and they will get some extra funding to put things ...
I agree with those who argue that the memorial should be facing South, to the Southern Cross in the night sky. Facing towards Rangitoto? Silly.
Sorry Nic. I was referring to run-on sentences in swordfish's post no 6, not your response. Cool down, swordfish. Stream of consciousness went out of style some time ago. Just write in sentences, and you will not arouse the ire of old folks like me.
'run on'? Run on sentences don't make it easier.
'Centrists' being something of a euphemism for 'Right-Wingers'?

And let us remember how well Jacinda polled in Australia's desired PM ratings.. No doubt tsmithfield will have an outpouring of scorn readily available, but I think he fails to besmirch her as well as he wants to.
Absolute agreement on my part, roblogic. My worst fear is that your target audience never read the Standard. Given educational decline, few of them are likely to do any reading at all now..
Don't want to add to your vexed state, but I thought I had read that water vapour is one of the worst greenhouse gases. Our planet produces huge amounts already - is it predictably wise for us to entertain the idea burning blistering billions of tons of ...
Germany's moves could have been temporary. I suspect the pipeline explosions have made it pretty well permanent. A very different matter.
