Some medical research suggests allergies are from over sterile living . The immune system is way underutilized and attacks in appropriate targets .Let you kids get grubby , let them touch animals , as kids have for hundreds of thousands of years before modern living . Many or these allergies are a modern phenomenon . These ideas my be somewhat contentious , but here is some information you can trust ; it is not a problem caused by immunization . Immunization saves lives .

Pathogens [ pests and diseases ] will not differentiate according to your intention . Have you any idea how much varroha has cost the beekeepers and PSA has cost the kiwifruit industry ?

Well i have . I worked for 20 years as a teacher and 10 years in business . Business people on a much higher salary often had far less integrity than teachers who were my colleges , And some , such as science teachers where far more intellectually endowed . As for work rate , this is variable but many teachers give there job so much . their salary becomes a joke when calculated against hours worked .

Yes . Gravity is just a theory , and less understood than evolution . People who think the world theory means there is doubt, are welcome to look for cars and rocks floating up into the sky .

I was proud when my granddaughter was doing charity work in Devonport and proud when she does well in her lessons and equally proud when she told me she was jumping off the Devo wharf . please let people keep having fun on the wharf .

Water is virtually valueless until it is contained . The vast majority of water falling on 100% Pure New Zealand simply becomes run off and heads back toward the ocean . Often becoming contaminated on the way due to our life style in cities and on farms . So water bottling businesses are about two things ,containment in plastic throw away bottles and transport .which is very expensive because it is very heavy , It would make far more sense to ship it in bulk , charge for the service and sell it to people for refilling personal containers .

jopark does not negate his argument . Human temptation is great and many of us are weak willed . In the 50s and 60s there was not so many temptations and people were more active . Less obesity then , more now . Logical and 1 .

On the Coromandel , where i live ,many people are devoting hundreds of hours of their time to preserving Kiwi .Death by dog is still a major problem . Keep them on leashes anywhere where there is wildlife . [ i am a dog owner ]

History has shown us ,that , as people decide that science cant inform us about something ,,,,,,,,science goes ahead and discovers whats happening anyway . This is happening in fields such as morality love and beauty [ goodness is far to vague] . Science was not to designed to investigate limited fields where ideologues decided they could go . It is free to go in any direction , It is a system of thinking that gives provable results .Theology is the stifled study of a fiction . Science does not make us good or bad . It just gives us information based on evidence .

Human taste buds do adapt . It usually takes three weeks to a month . I love soy milk and dont like cows milk . Biology tells us i could return to cow and Kelly could come to enjoy soy . In the past this has happened to most of us with tastes such as wine , broccoli , vegemite and of course coffee its self . .

Probably 1 , however do you really think USA has been benign . For example they ruined the Pacific Coconut oil trade [ copra ] and contaminated atolls [ Bikini ] . The financial system [ US $ ] imposes rules on us that are detrimental to us . They take tax from our country [ Apple , Amazon ] and they are still bombing civilians . And i am just getting started ........

Scientific papers overwhelming signal global warming is real . Ignore it at your descendants peril . Ignore the increase CO2 in the atmosphere , ignore the droughts and heatwaves that have already , in 18 years , smashed last centuries records . Ignore the increasing intensity of the storms in recent years . Write a letter to your offspring , to be opened in 2050 , stating your views . They will be shaking their heads in disbelief that you couldnt see it coming .
