    I feel horrible

    Everybody has issues, especially the ones who claim they don't :) I suspect the key is in keeping your eye on the "healthy relationship". If it is a truly healthy relationship then you will be able face life's challenges together, even social stigma, health issues and sex! If it isn't, then...

    Why does the leadership of so many major churches want jews out of the middle east?

    Perhaps today's thinking places a lot more emphasis on the legitimacy and the authority of the United Nations than it actually had at the time. This Wikipedia article gives some insight into the events leading up to the formation of Israel http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandatory_Palestine...

    Fat Community on the Down Low

    Do you normalize something by active intervention or by just being normal? I think the very concept of "normal" could use a little exploration (here goes...). We all have our own definition of normal and a psychologist once told me that is just what we grew up with, no more and no less. I...

    Counselors / Therapists

    A few months ago I attended a lecture by a doctor/researcher from Australia who is one of the regional leaders in the field of "mindfulness". He quoted research on depression therapy which indicated (don't quote me because it was several months ago) that; 1. Medication had the same...

    Beard v mustache

    Why thank you! but no, that photo is old now. Part of the thinking behind the beard was that the hair is now white enough to stand out clearly from the skin... Going for the Santa Claus look :)

    Beard v mustache

    Pursuant to a unplanned trimmer slippage yesterday, I had little choice but to lose the beard. All that could be rescued was the mustache. After 24 hours of non-stop howls of agonized embarrassment from all the females in the house, it is gone too. I will cheerfully concede to being a...

    Horrible Fattist Rant and Epic Rebuttal by Blogger

    The tragedy in my view is that the author seems oblivious to the point that perhaps her bigotry is considerably more unattractive than any physical attribute could ever be* She did not make me laugh, she made me recoil; I do not need such vitriol in my mind and I do not associate with people...

    Just who are we trying to be accepted by?

    It seems to me that by seeking acceptance from others, we are putting the cart before the horse. If, instead, we set out to be the best person we can be, and are diligent and proactive about that, then over time our social circles will tend to evolve to suit. Compatible personalities will tend...

    Airline ready to offer XL class

    It's early days but I'd be interested to know what people think of this idea? http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=10890196

    The last movie you watched... and score out of ten - Part 2

    Stunning acting by Daniel Day Lewis offset by too much flag-waving. Rather too long as well, at least for a non-American audience.

    Raising the Minimum Wage

    There is another aspect to the minimum wage issue; the relationship between the minimum wage and the unemployment benefit. A company we know employs hundreds of minimum wage manual labourers. They bring in cheap labour from the Pacific Islands on temporary work visas. Why? Because the locals...

    Top 10 Countries Celebrating Female Obesity

    Go to admit I am in two minds about this one. I live in the biggest (no pun intended) Polynesian city in the world, Auckland. We have, in some cases, as many or more Islanders living here than there are in their homelands; Samoans, Tongans, Cooks, Niueans, you name it, they are here. The...

    The Hidden History of the Second Amendment

    Which probably sums it up for most of the rest of the civilised world. I remember getting into a similar debate on these boards some years ago after the then current mass murder in the USA. I went to some trouble to do some research to support the position that down here (NZ) we have...
