Re: guns 2

It's often said, quite rightly in my opinion, that there is no such thing as an accidental discharge of a firearm. There is only negligent discharge.

Re: life's little aggravations

My big beef with huge 4WDs in an urban setting is that if someone makes a mistake and that vehicle hits me in my small-to-mid-size Honda Jazz, that grill is coming in at my head height. An airbag is not going to keep my head on in that kind of impact.

Re: Weather

It's been raining pretty steadily here since yesterday afternoon. The nice kind of rain, not the sudden torrents that cause flash flooding.

Re: Pssst! Wheres the Joe Biden thread?

He's a famous liar, like Trump... No, Biden is nowhere near as egregious a liar as the ex-President. Not even remotely. Not even in the same ballpark. Not even in the same network of ballparks. As I have said previously, there are a lot more reasons why a politician may be unable to fulfil election...

Well, Gen Ripper was also very concerned about the state of his precious bodily fluids, so let's just take that with a grain of salt, shall we?

Re: NZ: Mission accomplished?

There are more reasons why a politician may not follow through on a promise other than outright lying.

Re: life's little aggravations

People who reverse into carparks. They make people wait for them, so they don't have to wait to back out. I don't mind that so much as long as they know how to reverse a car properly. Lots of people don't. And/or take up two parking spaces when they do. Here's my car-related aggravation: people who...
