Yes, but as Dara OBriain says "Science knows it doesn't know everything. Otherwise it would stop." Whereas religion just says "God did it."
Great, if only now Labourites could put aside their irrational fear of the Greens. Admittedly they are a tad middle-class, but there's no reason to run screaming every time you see one. :)
So you can't provide any examples then? Just an inference that has no rational basis. Much like religion. I might say that although New Zealand is not quite as bad as the USA, there is plenty of "hatefulness" on the religious side, and plenty of rather ...
"Hatefully"? Would you like to quote the sentence that shows the hatefulness? Because all I can see is a rational takedown of the idea of God. And if that offends religious people so be it. Religion should be up for rational debate just as much as any ...
Actually research has shown that poor people do in fact make very "responsible" decisions on the whole. Largely because they have to. The problem is, that lack of resources often makes "responsible" decisions almost impossible.
So you think he belonged to Isis? In spite of the fact that just about everybody who knew him claimed that he wasn't a good Muslim, that he drank, that he ate pork, and that he beat his wife up. That last – bad relationships with women – something he has ...
I'm sure it did help some working class families. But it was essentially middle-class welfare. How can it be anything else when beneficiaries don't get a penny?
You soon she would make a good Secretary-General? That's an interesting assumption. And as I said, there's a difference between "not being perfect" and "betraying Labour's principles". You seem to think it's a matter of wearing the wrong shade of lipstick ...
Are National standing for Secretary-General of the UN? And where did I say that I demand that she be perfect? I pointed out two quite major betrayals of what I feel Labour should stand for. I don't regard them as minor imperfections.
You know what, some of us find it difficult to forgive her for sitting on her fucking hands while Roger Douglas and his mates ruined the economy. And for pandering to the middle classes with working for families, by leaving beneficiaries out. So no not ...
Get out of this bubble and go and look at some of the comments on other websites. There's not a lot of sympathy for poor people in this country. Years of social engineering have made that mean streak we used to hide socially acceptable.
Let's face it, prices continuing to go up would be an inconvenience maybe for key. A price crash on the other hand would be a true disaster. Who do you think owns all those spare houses.
Okay, how do you prove it. Is not as if they'd be stupid enough to say..... "here's my $110,000, so now I can have the contract right?." Genuine question.
Is it just me, or are more and more ministers refusing to comment? Particularly on national radio.
That's not necessarily why he won't stop. The more support he garners, the more bargaining power he has over policy. Hopefully Clinton will take notice of this.
Judging by the number of comments, we need to have a national discussion about immigration. Personally I think that filling the damn country up turns it into the place that everybody wants to get away from in the first place. But it's ridiculous to suggest...
"Ali was a great boxer but a rather unpleasant human being." No, Ali was a great boxer and a complex human being. In the latter he was like almost everyone. And to say the least, he annoyed a lot of old white racists. He can be forgiven quite a bit for ...
But no work.
That's assuming that the teachers haven't been gaming the system. Give people a system and they will game it. Particularly in high decile schools.
As usual, a complete beat up. The number of New Zealanders that have gone overseas to fight for extremist Muslim groups is less proportionally, than the number that went over to the Spanish Civil War to fight on the fascist side.
Dammit, I need some paint. Oh well, mitre 10 mega here I come.
Perhaps we should donate, if only because it's fun when they eat each other.
Hell, I was banned from Slater's blog for correcting facts. Still, I regard it as a badge of honour really.

Bugger. That'll teach me to look at the pictures. And probably get new glasses :-).
It's moron, not moran - which is something else entirely. (Unless I'm missing something) Might want to change that.
