The only ice cream awards here in New Zealand are presented by the New Zealand Ice Cream Manufacturers’ Association, who held their 22nd annual awards in May 2018. I do not see this company nominated in any category, they are not a member of the association. The full list of category nominees...

I'm interested in what his strategy will be, after all when the boss of China speaks openly of his intentions on an anonymous internet forum, it's only natural to be curious to learn more.

Do you plan on striking America at the same time as invading Taiwan as a diversionary tactic? Which American territories will this include? Guam and Hawaii will be obvious targets, but what about US bases in Japan and South Korea?

So you won't deploy any of your fleet to the area to try and recover the wreckage before the Japanese or Americans find it? Couldn't it help you developing your own fifth gen and sixth gen fighters? Or have you secretly managed to surpass the US, and don't need the tech. You've done very well...

Actually I spoke too soon, apparently its screening in Moscow first at their upcoming movie festival. Anyway, I can't wait. And I'm booking tickets for a second screening on the Sunday, and will probably make it three before it finishes its theatrical run.

So did I, we get to see it first in the world here in New Zealand. It's actually opening Wednesday morning 24th, I'm going to a 11.30 Imax session which will be Tuesday evening your time.

The 'death to America' chant is jingoistic, that much is obvious, and like most jingoism not well thought out. It is an expression of anti-American sentiment but as Khamenei interprets it as "death to the U.S.'s policies, death to arrogance" not American people.

I'm interested in hearing a balanced and unfiltered perspective on this century of foreign meddling. Feel free to share this if you believe you're without judgement or interpretation, I'm open to listening and understanding.

Imagine the outrage if Americans actually gathered in public chanting that, and then burned the Iranian flag. I actually don't understand how you're (US citizens) supposed to react to the 'Death to America' chants, it's somehow acceptable it many peoples view.

So why don't they chant 'Death to President Donald Trump and U.S. leaders (not the American nation)'?

Once you've launched your air and missile strike, how soon will you launch your amphibious and airborne assault?

And it stated that the Russians are eyeing China as a potential buyer of the su-57, not quite the same as offering the aircraft formally for sale.

I was trying to do like that scene from airplane:

I speak jive, I can translate. 'Golly, why are those darn people sending rockets up into the sky'? 'Do they not have anything better to do'? 'Kindly visit my neighborhood in Flint, Michigan, and share some bottled mineral water. We can exchange philosophies, I question whether this rocket...

Fishing with grenades again I see. You'll have to open a fish and chip shop with this catch.

I mean really, how can anybody not see how stupid this looks. Trying to control something (reincarnation) that an atheist non-spiritualist state body doesn't actually believe in.

The whole idea of rubber-stamping the re-incarnation process, whether it is approved by a Chinese emperor or the Chinese Communist Party, looks silly to be honest. What's next? Muslims and Christians requiring Chinese Communist Party approval and appropriate travel documents including visas and...

That tells us how well she is doing bringing (nearly) everybody together in support of Muslim New Zealanders, the white supremacist/neo-nazi/alt-right minority are getting pissed off. Add to that the action taken to ban semi-automatic rifles. I'm not surprised some idiot posted something like...

It's an artificial construct, and its used most commonly to define the 'white' group ego's boundary. That's the thing about group egos, the boundary is created to separate the 'us' from 'them'. And without a 'them' there is no 'us'. This is the same underlying thought structure which dominates...

Not really interested in debate, just a few questions I'd like to ask. I'm always looking to learn, I spend far more time on sites like this reading than actually interacting. There are some threads I follow like the one on Sufism, and some of the history threads. I am cautious about posting on...
