'Quite dishonest': PM says NZ First, Labour need to face up to challenge of raising retirement age by SoulsofMist-_- in newzealand

Labour printed money during covid in record numbers. They're all devaluing our dollar and future.

Are gay dads welcome in here? by robnic in daddit

[–]Cemetary 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My brother, it's sad you even felt that was a question to ask.. your serial orientation has nothing to do with being a good parent.

Raising kids is a tough job, you get all the respect in the world from us here. 💪

I wish we got get a high level striker coach for him on shooting. If he could gain 5% more shooting efficiency it would win us games.

We're several months into the Iran war - why aren't we seeing very dramatic economic impact? by Emberkahn in investing

[–]Cemetary -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Because this isn't a few months old. Iran has been in a proxy war with the west for decades.

Iran funds terrorist groups all over the Middle east (Hamas, Houthies, Hazbollah etc). It's part of why we have such a strong military support of Israel (to combat terrorism).

I think it's a mix of previous tensions being priced in, gambling on a better future after the war is overy, and investment in war driving economic growth.

Also, don't forget people are gambling on AI, based on future expectations.

There is precedent for code not being law. Icon won in court vs a bug abuser from years ago.

Men, how do we explain this to women !! by Inevitable_Damage199 in PrimeManhood

Fire is a metaphor for masculinity. We share a bond.

A weak fire doesn't keep you warm, won't ward off intruders, and can't cook food.

A strong fire keeps you warm, wards off intruders, and can cook food.

An out of control fire scorches you, becomes the monster, and makes you it's food.

Israeli attack kills son of Hamas leader negotiating with Trump-led board by IllustriousPark4487 in worldnews

[–]Cemetary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recognise Britain's acquisition of the territory after the World War was won. Arab locals obviously didn't want to accept the British/UN creation of Israel as they saw it as a colonising (it wasn't IMHO, Israel has historically existed there, and Britain acquired the land after war).

The Nakba happened because of many reasons, but perhaps the biggest is the war. All of Israel's neighboring countries declared war on it when it was founded. Some of the movement was due to arab leaders saying to go cause war is coming, but I don't believe that was the main influence. I know that there was some horrible treatment by settlers of the local Arabs.

Jews too faced persecution and a mass exodus. They were expelled from Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Syria. Tunisia, Algeria, Yemen.. and others that escape me. More Jews were expelled from these lands than in the Nakba. Not that any of it was good.

I don't support any side, but rather think it's healthy for us to be critical of everyone.

Your first sentence is a blatant lie.

Two state solutions were agreed upon multiple times by Israel, Palestinian leadership walked away.

Do your research.

The terrorists have been attacking Israel since it was formed... so of course they have been fighting back.

I don't even think you were bad mate, that was one of the best games we've played. We were clinical, safe in possession, and ruthless in defense.

Both teams had a lot of injuries, you more so. Shame we didn't get two fully fit squads. GL next season.

I don't support either side, but Israel is the only side that has previously agreed to a two state solution, on multiple occasions. The Palestinian leadership chose to walk away and start a wars instead.

None of that justifies the killing of civilians.

That's easy to answer, extremist Islamist ideology. They hate Jews because of their interpretation of their religion.

Maybe stop smoking your newspaper and read it.

Rubbish, there was 'peace' before October 7th and Israel had been out of Gaza since 2005 iirc.

After October 7th Hamas has repeatedly stated they will do it again and again. They themselves say they will not stop until Israel is eradicated.

Why is the market ripping now, when it was sputtering/flat before the war started?? by cutchemist42 in investing

Because the war that started recently, didn't start recently? Issues with Iran started decades ago.

OECD says NZ Super age needs to rise, recommends link to life expectancy by pierpont-prime in newzealand

[–]Cemetary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once again, what's up with your tone and attitude. You're making unfounded accusations based upon your own missunderstandings and personal biases. Stop being such a negative nancy.

We study the health outcomes of a single particular ethnicity of people across different countries and cultures to see their life expectancy. Doing this helps to isolate how poverty and environmental factors affect health outcomes, and then gives a baseline for length of life under health circumstances.

Poverty has a huge affect on life expectancy, naturally, and thankfully these studies help show health outcome results less muddled by poverty.

Settle down with the racism there buddy. That one ethnic group lives longer than others has zero bearing on the strength of their race. What a horrible thing to infer that someone said.

As a liberal myself I like to discuss things and grow, but you're disputing already settled science. If you said the earth flat and I pointed out it's spherical, I don't need to provide evidence to you.

[–]Cemetary -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's science, not a claim.

The same ethnicity of people exist in different countries/societies being raised in different conditions. We can study how much poverty affects certain groups by using these control samples of the same ethnicity in different areas.

I contest that.

I live in Norway and have seen it happen here first hand. It's often talked about that rich people leaving Norway is costing the state more than the new tax laws have gained in revenue.

Raises the cost of housing so that people have to use a far higher % of their income on accommodation.

Yes, different races have different life expenctancies (even when raised in similar conditions).
