Great Quotable from Mark Twain

Here’s A Great Quotable from Mark Twain

I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him. - Mark Twain



New Zealand And The Anti-Nuclear Issue

New Zealand And The Anti-Nuclear Issue

OK, so what the hell is wrong with New Zealand when it comes to nuclear issues?

I hear on the news today, that our infamous Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Winston Peters is to travel to the United States, to meet with Condoleeza Rice and other US dignitaries.

Winston Peters

Why did this make news? - Because Mr Peters has said that he intends to stay away from the issue of New Zealand’s anti-nuke policy.

Incredible!

This ridiculous policy of NO NUKES in New Zealand (which even includes a ban of nuclear powered vessels in our waters) is archaic and completely paranoid.

I can almost understand New Zealand’s approach to nuclear ARMED vessels ( i.e Ships carrying nuclear weapons), but the policy also includes any vessel that is nuclear powered.)

In 1984, New Zealand backed out of the ANZUS agreement (a three-way defence agreement between the US, New Zealand & Australia that had been in force since World War II) over a dispute with the US over visiting rights for US ships in New Zealand ports.

The agreement, which was more of an advantage to New Zealand than to the United States was essentially disolved because of this singular issue.

The US has a long memory, and I would imagine this issue is really why the Americans now refer to Australia as “allies” and New Zealand, as just “good friends“.

This is really a slap in the face for New Zealand war veterans from Both World Wars, The Korean War, and the Vietnam war where we acted with the US as “allies”. Read more about…

Hone Watson, (the Australian equivalent of New Zealand’s dirt-digging Rodney Hyde) has indeed broken an incredible story regarding a top internet dating site.

Apparently the dating site has been stealing profile photos from Myspace.com users and then using the photos in advertisements.

Incredible. Surely the users fallen victim to this have a right to claim conpensation?

Well done Hone!

Hone states that he “cant say for sure that the profiles were stolen”, but does indeed provide some alarming evidence.

Anyway, check out the entire story here.

Schappelle CorbyIt looks as though Australia and Indonesia are on the eve of signing a prisoner exchange deal.

Whilst the deal is not yet formal, Ministers from both countries agreed on the comprehensive exchange deal at talks in Bali recently.

Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking Asks An Eerie Question…

Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking Asks An Eerie Question…

Renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, has used the Yahoo forum of Yahoo Answers to pose a question to the world…

The Question?

How can the human race survive the next hundred years?

In a world that is in chaos politically, socially and environmentally, how can the human race sustain another 100 years?

The question was raised three days ago, and has already had a whopping 20,000 answers.

This poses me to ask a question (if only rhetorical) … If so many people have the answers, why is the world so fucked?

See Dr. Hawkings question here.

North Korea Missle Test

North Korea Missles Test Puts It At Odds With The Global Community

Kim Jong II - Sexy PoseNorth Korea today launched at least six missles in a test that has been described by other world leaders as “provocative”.

One of the missles, a long range missle (Taepodong-2) has a range capable of hitting the US.

Luckily enough for the US, the missle failed after 40 seconds!

Today’s closely watched effort has put Kim Jong in the doghouse with the West.

Just a word on Kim Jongs name… if you swapped the “K” from Kim and the “J” from Jong, his name would be Jim Kong. - Now this sounds much more fearsome!
