This is a political article that I doubt being written but a refugee in a tent in the Sahara. And this statement: That is my homeland, occupied by Morocco. That is VERY debatable. Moroccos rights to that land are very strong both historically and culturally. The support of Algeria to the Polisarios cause has been well-documented as part of the feud between the 2 neighbours.

So you mean only countries like ours are entitled to host such an event? Only nations who believe in what we believe in, and who embrace what we embrace should be allowed to host a rugby world cup? Why? cause we are supreme species? the perfect race? the holiest people?

This is really awful. This dude should have been allowed to remain regardless of any other story, but when you add the drug dealer being allowed to stay, then it becomes almost a crime against New Zealanders, telling them to cope with criminals and lose on hard working law abiding people who do make a difference and who made one of us happy when she was alive.

Dont panic people. The government will sort this out. They have already started collecting the extra fuel fees to fix Auckland transport and in a few years, they are likely to come up with a plan to sort it all out. They might ask for a more tax after they would have overspent the money already collected on other important issues, but that is all part of the fantastic plan to resolve the issue. Lets do this.

Lets also ban interest on savings, and discounts on large quantities in supermarkets. Poor people cant afford both either. And while at it, health insurances should also be banned, and make full car insurance more expensive than 3rd-party only, and what about house ownership? Poor people cannot afford that. So lets ban that too. Traveling should be heavily restricted. Basically, instead of focusing on improving life for the poor, lets make harder for those just above them.

Only a low number of Senate seats were available for election, with Democrats needing a big wave to get the Senate back, and everyone expected this not to happen. Then the Democrats win the house back, which was expected, and somehow the author thinks all this means good news to Trump re-election. The only way I see this as good news is that now he can blame all failures on the house promoting the idea that he is needed to counter the bad evil Democrats in the next elections. But then, there are more elections in 2019 so the game is still on.

Greg Hywood warning that a rejection of the plan could lead to deep cuts in journalism and the closure of some newspaper titles. These job losses and products reduction are associated with mergers, not the opposite.

House prices increasing, bank fees increasing, insurance increasing, maintenance costs increasing, life cost increasing, and you only found one guilty party at why rent cost is increasing: The annulation of the absurd letting fee.

In other words, smart, disciplined sides have read the mood and cleaned up their acts accordingly. So the team that hardly lost a game, that is still No.1 in the world, and that keeps holding on to all trophies won with Richi, is not as smart as other teams who get less cards?

Youre unfortunately right. And this has psychologically made people deaf to most messages from the authorities. For instance, nowadays, when you see a police car you are worried about getting fined, and you slow down, even if you were already slow. And that makes you less worried when you see none, so youd start to speed and drive like on PlayStation. .

Are we supposed to laugh? Asking for the most successful coach ever to step down under a year from the world cup? Is this even good for the cause? This journalist is allowed to attempt at destabilizing the national team in the hope we dont win the World Cup so he could say See. Told ya. Pitiful.

The same goes to hairdessers taking advantage of your hair getting longer, and restaurants praying on your hunger, and architects wanting to extract money out of your need for proper buildings. And what about fun parks? They are there just to get your money when you just need some entertainement. And dont get me started about rental cars. They ALWAYS charge you for using their cars. So much evil in this world.

otss, his argument is not simplistic at all. And when you move near a stadium, a motorway, a racecourse, surely you should expect it to get busier over the years. That is a no-brainer. At the end of the day, if you came after the stadium, leave if you no longer like the stadium.

We won a world cup without a proper kicker, heck, without a consistent First Five. We have been beating every team with one hand tied up. And as soon as we lose one inconsequential game, THAT scenario becomes our nightmare for the next world cup. I guess if we lose 3 more games people would ironically calm down a bit more.

Since decades I have said students should not work for living costs or paying back loans. It is a predicament on the quality of their studies and I have seen many times students failing because of work commitments, which effectively wipes out all financial gains and more. Obviousely if you drop your working standards your boss would be on your back, so if you are sick or tired or have any sort of problems, you will always drop the standards of your studies. First steps have been made in stoping the generational crime called student loans. Next is a decent student allowance for those who pass their year at uni. Succeed and we will support you. Muck around and you are left to your own devises.

Ive been saying this for weeks. The winner will be decided by random red cards and bizarre citations. And just like it happened 4 or 5 seasons ago in NRL, players will start falling likes flies at the first touch of head to milk a penalty or a card. Truth is IRB is trying too much to protect itself from NFL-like expensive law suites that it is willing to ruin the game and this world cup. In France, they are trying to ban tackles from hip up. Just think about that.

So you take one case and build a whole theory on it? I know a girl who would tell you she slept with too many people that she cannot commit to one person. Should I build a theory like you on how sex before marriage is wrong?

My wife and I took the tough financial decision to have only one income while she looks after the new baby. We had to adjust steeply to that. 5 years later, she does not want to go back to working in offices, and I could not be any happier. The hard work she puts in to compensate for that fianncial loss turned into a paradise. Great food, clean house, stess-free life, well-looked after kid, a lot of time to do things as a family, and more chances for sex. LoL. One trick though. From the one income we have, she gets a modest salary so that she does not have to be nice because I hold the finances. I wish I had a slary like her though. LoL. Botom line, if you follow the sheep herd, youll end up in a slaughter house. Manage your life the way YOU think it should be.
