I don't get why NZ is 'fucked'. One of the richest people on the planet, with amazing nature, very, I mean absolutely terrific strategical location. Democracy. Big friends with US. I could go on for a long time. Is it 'f

That's a hard subject - while I think I get your need to have a better safety net (so folks aren't tempted even more to opt out of existence), by delaying it, such choice is also causing indescribable suffering to patients now ,

I would add - just make yourself more interesting. No faking, no lies, just a bit of good old hard work. Could be anynthing - get more fit by taking up sports or gym. Men are more attracted to fit women, why would an opposite direction be d

Technically three times now, Israel in past few days wiped out any air force or air defenses in Syria. They moved the country basically to the level of say Afghanistan re air defenses, so they can do whatever they want. So can others. Till

Most folks with mental illnesses live among us, not in mental institutions. If on a scale 1-10 you have something like bipolar on 1 or 2, you can sort of function with some meds. Sort of, until SHTF and emotions go haywire. Keeping relation

Yes these were things we lost, but 'we' as in anytime in past 500 years. You just experienced it yourself for your line. What was gained is meaningless to some, and next to everything to others. I don't fucking ever have to d

Or any other place from Asia, ie nepalis or philippinos are treated absolutely horribly in many rich middle east places. That culture, barring exceptional ethical individuals, has nothing in common with modern western values.
