you know what? I am just going to bail again. I posted a very positive note about women in surfing and how it is charging along. Then I get dragged into this shit. it was presented as a one-off anecdote 'dont tell womend what to say'.? yeah, whatever, ...
it has been personal for a very long time weka and the point was addressed - taking a one-off anecdote and making it into a meme or some such lacks all credibility and indicates ulterior motive, does it not?
it is man-hating because you word your post to reflect on men in general, especially older men, rather than relegate that one-off anecdote to.. a one-off anecdote why don't you say something positive men in surfing are completely and utterly supportive of ...
no problem, it is the way you are despite all your obfuscation so fucking boring haven't you got anything better to do? [TheStandard: A moderator moved this comment to Open Mike as being off topic or irrelevant in the post it was made in. Be more careful ...
no I didn't know that, stop being paranoid you are very tedious in your attacks on men and me in particular over time maybe i start pushing back at you again
I am not sure your point sabine, but I detect your strong whiff of man-hating via reference to 'washed up old men'... i think you need to take your concern up with manwoman himherself
yep, Luxon has become Captain Dufus... looking forward to the many foot-in-mouth's to come haha
fyi, surfing is very rapidly becoming a sport where women will dominate, especially younger women... is quite like gymnastics so same things apply and young females have best attributes.. i think having said that, the world's leading comp at Pipe in Hawaii...
Finally, a relatively mainstream media highlighting the ugly and credibility-sapping hypocrisy of the west and in particular the USA https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/07/us-sanctions-against-russia-but-not-israel Wake me when the Israelis are ...
"In practice a reduction like that wouldnt be passed through to customers " Having been in business for way too long I have to disagree completely and utterly on that. In my own business prices would instantly be peeled back to get an advantage over ...
why doesn't Luxon also cancel the previous national government tax increases and reduce GST back to 12.5%. That was surely a far bigger tax increase than all labour ones since. Go on you deceiving and poor-bashing Luxon - do the honest thing
... as opposed to reflexive pro Americanism, on full display today with the UN walkout... which walkouts only happen when non-western invasions happen... yeah russia bad its very easy i know
gotta go lprent, but thanks for the exchange. i guess last fast comment re NATO only a threat if attacked... the machinations deceit and sleights of hand in geopolitics make this easily achieved does it not? Encourage Russia to attack someone by ...
SPC and lprent, thanks for your thoughts on this (tho not the insults, sheesh..). I have to go now, but have appreciated the contrary and other views. As mentioned I am no expert but put my own views out there hoping someone will take it up and show its ...
So NATO is a threat to Russia? Yes? Or no?
SPC I am not an expert in this, as you can probably tell. However I am a great student of humankind and our follies. What I see is Russia acting in frustration at the inattention paid to their security concerns and the expansion of NATO. The particular ...
Well, no you shouldn't point that out, as it is quite a nonsense imo. NATO fullstop is a threat to Russia. Isn't it? No? Is it?
since inception
why on earth is 2004 relevant to this threat to russia? and anyway, the point is not correct. The 'centre of gravity' has moved east and continues to do so your irrelevant nitpicking can be fired back
I wondered if that teency nitpick was going to be your point. Not relevant imo, as they are still east of the original and promised line, plus pile more Nato nations in that eastern area.
"You could also argue just as easily the CSTO has been creeping westwards with Belarus and and Georgia." I dont think that is an easy argument at all in this context, as they were previously part of the russian sphere and only recently not. It doesn't ...
And they take action when they are attacked or threatened. and give up the name-calling why dont you - bad look for a grown man
No but I often need counselling after bouncing around in your house here... A response to your point here involves repetition of previous points.
In reply to you and to lprent below.. "But there was no threat to Russia" But there was, and that has been the whole point in this thread - Nato's advance east is that threat.
Your second paragraph is worthless First paragraph - Albania, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia. I am sure you have a ready response to this answer - please divulge... ... and note that your 2004 date is irrelevant to the wider point at hand anyway. ...
Sure, understand all of that. However, it does confirm that there has been a push by Nato and the US eastwards into Russia's sphere, which is what they are afraid of and what they are pushing back against. I don't know that the reasons for the push ...
Que? Nato has pushed east. It has its bombs further east today than the dates you reference. It also has its bombs and weapons in Ukraine with the promise of more to come (see my above second point, which should chill to the bone,,.). Would some maps help?...
apologies for the dickhead comments, they are horrid and unnecessary
If I might add a little more... that threat outlined in the point above is further supported by the number of Nato countries lining up to provide ammunition to Ukraine right now. Doesn't that further support Russia's whole point here? That the west is ...
let me reply in kind... you're a dickhead we would have clashed big time in primary school
America and Nato's bombs clearly. As they explained. I think the best way to look at your question is to seriously and genuinely listen to the Russian's position on this - it was all outlined. I guess in much the same way as the US and the UK outlined ...
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia.
