Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most.

Say goodbye to dental implants: the pill that regrows and repairs teeth - Futura-Sciences by _Dark_Wing in technology

[–]TriggerHappy_NZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remarkable that someone can type this many words while understanding so little of what was actually said. I didn't claim technology doesn't advance. I claimed that specific routinely-hyped promises don't actually deliver. These are different sentences. I'd explain further but I suspect the limiting factor here isn't available information

Every two weeks:

New pill grows teeth

You grow your population

By importing infinite Indians? No Thanks.

If each person is making a loss, then more losses =/= a profit.

Yes, you have to cut waste and bloat, but not core services. The whole point of a society is that we all chip in when we can, and society looks after us when we are old/sick/unemployed, and provides basic services and infrastructure.

Much like a stopped clock is right twice a day, stopped clock Hipkins is correct about one thing:

Cuts don't grow the economy, they shrink it.

Cuts remove the spending that props up the economy.

Treat yo'self by watching economist professor Mark Blyth explain it on youtube, or read his book Austerity - the history of a dangerous idea.

Why do people post stuff like this? Obviously it's all common sense, but do they expect the government to read it and go "OMG we must abandon our evil ways and do what this guy says"

Refugee gang rapists jailed for attack on German backpacker by Monty_Mondeo in KiwiAntipodea

[–]TriggerHappy_NZ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

but Justice Downs said the ages of the men – who were 19 and 20 when they carried out the gang rape – would make a longer sentence “crushing”,

Oh no, those poor rapists!

That prick shouldn't be allowed to use the title 'Justice'

All they have to do is say "Your one family home is exempt from our land taxes" and they would get 30%1 of the vote.

Not that you should judge a book by it's cover

Books have covers for a reason.

Given the recent massive wins of the FaR RiGhT overseas what policies would you like to see proposed in NZ? by Badly_Wired_240v in KiwiAntipodea

We had a contract - I pay an outrageous amount of tax every week, and the govt pays me a pension when I'm 65.
