A fundamentalist Christian friend of mine once commented to me - when reflecting on the morals and behaviours of some who would describe themsleves as Christian - that scientists such as quantum physicists had a better chance of finding God.
As far as the creation of this universe goes, I always thought most major religions and the big bang theory were in alignment - the difference was in the telling. Except Hinduism and it's off shots appear to describe this universe as just one cycle of many...
Why bother with P when I can assure you the headache I get when reading most of your posts disappears when high.
What's that saying... it isn't over until fat lady sings? That fat lady is a large bodied object floating through space that some affectionaly call Mother Earth, because they recognise her ecosystem as being vital to nuturing and sustaining us. She's ...
We don't just rely on Australia... Australia owns NZ. They could crash our economy any time they like.
Replace neoliberalism with capitalism if the former doesn't suit your sensibilities. Is that more real for you? And while these all may merely be a set of rules, the simple fact is the current set of rules are leaving more and more people behind and unable...
Identifying the problem is very straightforward. Doing something about it is the hard part. Neoliberalism is a parasite and has its tentacles wrapped so tightly around every aspect of our lives, sucking our environment, economy and society dry. Doing ...
Two years away... you're a bit optimistic.
He couldn't afford to.
How many of those 76 sailings were during a holiday period? Is the more imporatant percentage. For strike action to be effective it generally has to be disruptive.
Yes... there will be millions that survive and adapt well to their new environment. The point is, there will be a lot less than the 7+ billion that currently inhabit this planet. That is a substantial die off. Yesterday I heard a medical professional on ...
Sounds more to me like the old Post Office Savings Bank.
I think he's a narcissist masquerading as a nationalist. For Trump the Presidency is all about his self-aggrandisement.
We're already here.
Wow... those words are devoid of any humanity.
Actually I was thinking you must be smoking something to NOT be able to see Collins is a sociopath.
No empire is ever benign.
I might be interstellar from time to time but I'm not a multinational.
By owning it.
Just look at the shareholding of each of the powercos. Anything "nominees" is a corporate holding (incl RBNZ). The actuals will be different across each but they're already far from the Mum and Dad ownership that John Key sold the sale to NZers as.
Up to 49% of pretty much all of them. Only that much because John Key knew he couldn't sell a full sale to the public.
+1 However, cooperatives can still be hierarchical. The key differentiator is ownership. The executive MUST be accountable to its board and the board MUST be accountable to the business owner(s). At present we have in many business organisations the ...
A load of rubbish from McClean. So we're expected to believe that because of our Kiwi cultural approach to things everything here is dandy. In my experience our "she'll be right", head burying apathy produces exactly the opposite and allows these ...
"The report paints a picture of an organization where the Board failed to challenge their executive team who had a propensity to bury bad news and weave it into something positive." Yet another good example of corporate governance failure. I guess as long ...
Ha! Which means everyone is moving in a circle. Round and round...
Western media doubling down to wage a full psyops propaganda campaign on their fellow countrymen and other people in the "free west".
We are a nation beset by oligopolistic capture... full stop. Pretty much since the New Zealand Company spotted an opportunity to profit from colonisation.
I think the Qatari pipeline theory is more likely.
Actually no... he's spot on. The GFC and earthquakes gave National the perfect cover to loot the NZ economy for their donors in the form of bailouts and PPPs.
Anecdotally yes. In my experience as a coach of a children's football team... when they're rocking up citing a professional player like Lionel Messi or Harry Kane as their inspiration then you know that to be the case. And they're much more engaged to boot...
My thoughts too.
