It's different if you did Vs the guy who made the rules. When you make the rules you should be following them.

I agree completely with the sentiment of your comment. But I wouldn't hold Theresa May up too highly. Here is Theresa May deleting her 2009 blog post with her strong opposition to the 3rd runway at Heathrow... https://www.tm

But none of these things are happening in US, you have double the cost of healthcare for a lower life expectancy than countries of comparable living standards who have universal healthcare. What's going wrong with the system of perfect

Interesting. My take has been that they have taken a conservative action with regards to the virus, I've seen locking down as a way for the government to slow down time to try and work out what is going on before then taking a more con

I wonder if this is the majority view? I hear it often but it's not something I feel (disclosure: I have one child). I certainly think in terms of leaving the world better for all living things rather than for my children (although I g

What would be a better course of action to take in this crisis? Would you have preferred for your elected leaders to not have taken the consensus expert view? Or do you think the consensus view of experts is not agreed upon currently?

Sorry could you please out the connection between lockdowns in wealthy countries and starvation? I missed that in my reading?

May I kindly ask, why do you feel the need to jump out and defend the human species as also being good in the face of what is described in the article? I am genuinely interested in understanding what motivates this reaction.

It was only stolen 100-200 years ago. It had survived for 2000-4000 years... I'm not sure your argument holds weight.

And was criminalised after world war 2, so its proceeds from a historical crime.

It's not 'just' ancient artefacts. There are also indigenous australian remains and artefacts stolen and refused to be returned. Stolen up into the mid 20th century.

I see, which is might help explain breeder reactors are so few.

I read there was 200years of nuclear ( https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-long-will-glo... ) but I can't find a source for your figures? Could you point me in the right direction?

Please be careful... Investigate these claims more fully than Wikipedia, these claims can be exaggerated / out of context

by rbg246 7y ago
Would it though? What's the lead time on training nuclear engineers, construction companies etc to start building reactors again. UK and European projects have gone massively over time and over budget. I mean maybe US, Europe and China

I'm no expert on the area however, it's not wilderness area, this is the channel coast, the navy has a firing range next to Lulworth Cove and there is a stack of rusting wrecks just off the coastal path... people just don't l

This is true, the car park has a ramp system that is all in one corner of the car park but I guess most places make you drive to the other side to go up one

In multi-level car parks I believe people overestimate vertical distance and underestimate horizontal. In the carpark I park in, I often just speed down to the level where there first begins to be car spaces and I can often get much closer

This sounds a lot like feudalism! The Lord having a duty to his peasants to protect parts of the land and pay for its upkeep.

It is a tad ironic, that I have been "flippant" and "disrespectful" to your argument (not you, mind you, unless you are your argument) you wrote out in 1 minute with minimal thought. Yet at the same time, you can't

Flippant - you summarised a whole series of complicated issues in two small paragraphs which demonstrated flippancy conflating very different issues. Disrespectful - these complicated issues involve people who have been and continue to be d

Conflating a rich family's claim to their medieval land holdings with the above mentioned struggles is totally flippant and disrespectful.

His reply is fair however, criticism relies on someone evaluating one's arguments rather than blurbing out a stock reply. There was no engagement there within those critical comments.

Yes precisely, if things become systematic then there is no avoiding the new reality. I am no expert on real estate I used to be a property accountant at an international commercial property company and so used to compute out growth rates o

Well, you have forgone rent you could have collected from a different tenant and reduced the quality of the tenant you have accepted. So for an investor who looks at your rent roll, they will see that you have an increased rent arrears and

Yes and No. Part of the No answer is that as an real estate investment company your building's worth is effectively present value of future rent, so sometimes it's better to preserve the valuation of your building rather than set

It is good for a nation to explore it's past no matter what might turn up. It's far worse to uncritically examine our ancestors behaviour.
