Yes I do grow miscanthus! I use it as a mulch when I cut it to the ground each spring with a niwashi shark My only neighbour is my sister, we share the bamboo, we have 14 acres between us , so no worries about being swamped .It is a running variety, even ...

Yeah, he's great , I love him But then again, I don't require him to mirror every single one of my positions on modern matters
I'm all good Just did another comment to Robert
Oh bugger In the grand scheme of things my comment to Robert was dearer to my heart than anything else. Dear Robert, I'm in love with bamboo! I planted mine 50 years ago, between 2 driveways so its spread has been as glacial as our commitments to the Paris...
Do as I say, not what I do We're back to addressing the messenger I see, not the comment
As this is not your post, assuming we're all on the same page of Open Mike ,I can feel free to reply I assume Compared to 750 bases spread around the world a long way from the Us neighbourhood, 11 bases in the near surrounds does not seem excessive or ...
Oh That sounds just like a federation [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 in future.]
On another matter Robert , bamboo? Do you grow it down there ? .I've become a bit obsessed with it. My main bamboo plot was planted 50 years ago, between 2 driveways so its spread is controlled.I have the room anyway. I've just constructed an extensive ...
? You disagree that Aotearoa is becoming increasingly closer to the US? Thats hardly an attack on the "messenger"
Well , thats where we differ .I'm looking for Russian colonies all over the world, I'm looking for something to rival the 750 military bases the US maintains outside of US proper Russia isn't a true imperialist's arsehole Imperialism ? try this : https://...
Yep, and we've been consistent about sanctions against Russia ...20 rounds of them That consistency not so apparent over Israel .. number of sanctions?....zero Common denominator? I would say the US embassy
Ukraine has a vibrant media and opposition? Ummm https://www.leftvoice.org/president-zelenskyy-bans-opposition-parties-in-ukraine/ https://www.marxist.com/ukraine-zelenskiy-shuts-down-opposition-media.htm And these examples are from very early on https://...
Just reading the first paragraph, I'm amused to see Mike Smith characterised as a supporter of imperialism . I wouldn't have thought of him as a defender of America, although that stance is becoming quite popular here

I agree with you that gender can be expressed within a very wide spectrum and I applaud it . I welcome difference. It's when it becomes an imperative to accept nonsense that men can become women by dint of will or surgery or other social interventions that...
The many fraught emails that went to and from between museum officials laid out their fears of public backlash As to the second paragraph you say you don't understand maybe I can rephrase We live in a post modern age where words can stand in place of ...
Question mark there you may have missed Are you saying that the museum's duty is first to avoid discomfort of a very small minority of staff members before addressing the benefit of the public ? Is that what museums are for in this new age where biological...
So you think the museum cancelled the show because of a high minded concern for the feelings of 2 or 3 staff members? Really Robert .I didn't think you would be so naive They cancelled the show out of fear of rowdy activists picketing and compromising the ...
Finland's education system works.They have hugely successful outcomes, with a philosophy thats the polar opposite of the NZ Initiative's , (which is stubbornly dumb!!) Why aren't we looking to Finland's strategies? . “We prepare children to learn how to ...

I would like a world where good guys like you don't have to lay your lives on the line
Gawd, if that rant is the result of serving, yeah , I think militarism is something we should avoid
Well I'm all for a beefed up civil defence , not so much the military.At this stage in human development we need to be moving away from militarism, particularly when we find ourselves shacked up with a dying imperialist power currently supporting the ...
I'm guessing they're fish hooks
The Government can sign up to Pillar II if the country’s attorney-general considers it compatible with the constitution, but would be expected to debate its merits in Parliament and seek cross-party support. Judith Collins has already expressed her ...
Perturbed even
Ok Robert Would you be so sanguine if the museum canceled a show depicting the Paleatinian struggle over time because Israel objected? Would you just say " oh well, it's the museums decision" Personally I would be pretty pissed off and "perurbed"
Robert It'd be the reasons its been cancelled that would be foremost in people's minds .Stop being deliberately disingenuous in the guise of Socratic debate
