  • Speaker: Built heritage, special places…,

    They are sitting around tables making the decisions

    I assume they are getting paid to exercise their brain muscle.
    Baby boomers or not some people will take the path of least resistance
    which explains some of the fucked up decisions made.
    like pulling down those wonderful shops that had flats above them where that monstrosity on west K rd is now

  • Speaker: Rugby, Racing and Emotions,

    don’t you think that in many ways it [sport] serves some of the same functions in 21st century society?

    Thats up to fans of sport to figure out.
    A fan Kyle? No I am an anti-populist at times like this
    You go enjoy yourself, I'll just hope the ABs dont win the silly cup

  • Speaker: Rugby, Racing and Emotions,

    emotion that carves memories into the mind, connecting neurons

    Thats one way of explaining it

    the cynical among us may condemn rugby, and our love of it to being an “opiate for the masses.”

    Your misquoting Marx is all your doing.

    But it’s a hell of a drug.

    No its not

  • Speaker: Misrepresenting Kiribati and…,

    The people of Kiribati don’t want to leave yet, and need our help to stay and to adapt to the changing climate with dignity for as long as they can.

    There will be those who will want to move away, be somewhere else, for whatever reason legal or not.
    Until ... well... who knows.. until there are changes, on an ever increasing scale, in human activity over the coming years. Nothing will change. And it may become a useful excuse for some. People!
    And yes Kiribati is beautiful. I say that having spent time there. :))

  • Hard News: A better thing to believe in,

    4 billion years

    Wrong or can I put it down to hearing loss or memory malfunction, or does that come under the heading of decline of cognitive function. Ain't being alive grand.

    the only B-team in its competition, we didn’t win a game all season – was an instructive early experience in leadership

    If only our elected representatives could see the benefit of not being on top all the time IF ONLY.
    Doesnt change my opinion that sports people can easily be turned into modern day gladiators useful at keeping the populace entertained and distracted while the "elected and wealthy" indulge their greed and incompetence and fuck the rest of the population over.

  • Hard News: A better thing to believe in,

    if we want something better to believe in, maybe we should dig a bit deeper than a transit fad like sport.Or the money mad society we are living in at present, with its cheerleaders leading us to certain doom.
    As a species not just one of the divided populations of nation states, something that might last generations.
    I kid myself it might be groovy if two million yrs in the future our descendants are around to watch as this galaxy merges with the Andromeda galaxy.
    But thats just me
