    Sadly it seems that http://www.outrageousfortune.co.nz/ has crashed even before the show starts. Hope they're shoring things up properly for the during and the afterwards.

  • Speaker: My People,

    If we keep improving productivity, sustainability and the effectiveness of social supports then none of this matters.

    It's a sign to me that we're falling into the same trap as Bill English by focusing only on costs rather than using our shared strengths to increase opportunities and value. Mindset is what interests me most.

    I find Judd's motivation quite believable, recalling how Cheryl treated him at the time they lost Tama.

    I love all of them for being such honestly human characters - a tribute to the writers, actors and crew who brought them to life. I'm predicting tears at 9.30 tonight.

    his arguments are nothing like eugenics

    Apparently they sound closer than I would like them to. I welcome help avoiding that.

    The point is reproducing is a responsibility and and not a right. It isn’t something to protected legally.

    I believe it is actually protected. Just subject to balance against other rights.

  • Speaker: My People,

    Why do we always have to frame our arguments in terms of making some niggardly, meanspirited douche grudgingly accept something? Why can't we just say 'fuck that guy! He's an asshole!'?

    Oh, sometimes we can. Usually when we don't need to persuade such people politically or personally to consent to a shared course of action. Or when there are aren't many of them.

    If we don't have these discussions then the only time I ever have them is with assholes

    True. Although I don't want to upset people here for the sake of a discussion either. Maybe spent too much time over last few days working at abstracted population health level.

    Shakespeare also fond of reuniting the cast on stage for the finale. Weddings are good for that. But is it OK if your friend's mother gives you a Woody?
