Yup that might be enough to eventually swing things

USA? Aka biggest economy in the world? Lopsided economy would be more accurate da?

Lots we have very mountainous terrain here lots of rivers. Pretty much one every ten minutes or so heading north. https://www.lawa.org.nz/explore-data/otago-region/river-quality/ More number of rivers. Each one has bridges over it. They don't generally collapse outside of a lahar or...

Baltimore was a ship hitting a bridge. Russian infrastructure is even worse and was reliant on western expertise to maintain. You can go live on Russia they have a surprising ease of immigration if you want to go.

Well the were on the low end of the free and open metric. They're on the high end of hybrid regimes now due to scale of gerrymandering.

Same here. Different kind of cold. I've left Dunedin on a cold crappy day and arrived in Christchurch and it's even colder. Damp vs dry though.

Gone 1967. Could still spend some as a kid though. Arcade machines could take the old coins.

That's generally not free speech in political terms means though. When it was drafted I don't think they were meaning government organizations. It was about political expression in public discourse. Context being absolute monarchies and torture/death penalty for such things that existed in...

So am I wrong when I pointed out she voluntarily gave up her rights then knowingly broke the rules she voluntarily signed up to? And neither of us are free speech absolute types or that thin skinned.

Well if Ukraine collapses and Russua wins I'm quite happy to own that fact. Unfortunate but it's plausible. Maybe not gliat until you actually pull it off. In the scenario Russia collapses or loses what then ? At least wait and see what happens in summer.

I prefer facts. 1. Did she voluntarily give up here right to freedom of expression? 2.Did she knowingly break the rules resulting in her imprisonment? I respect her for doing it due to her ideals and not fleeing. And I have no issue with her being pardoned. Ultimately it's her actions...

Your opinion is just that as well. She wasn't giving here opinion on politics in public she broke confidentiality in a job she volunteered for and agreed to its terms. Big difference from insulting Biden/Trump, advocating for change in public sphere etc. If you join a national security...

After she voluntarily took a job in national security. Remember when the law was written it was because you could get the death penalty for insulting the king. And I don't think there's any total free speech advocates here anyway. I'm not a free speech absolutist. Generally high in...

Free speech doesn't extend to state secrets. Manning deliberately broke her contract she opted into. So it's not exactly political views she got imprisoned for.

This. Self referral is fine wife does it. Close friends ds maybe as well as long as bith are fine with it. I'm a crazy cat man after all.

Cheer up relocate. Victorians solved this.

Blatant lie. If I had to put up with British weather and food...... The whinging Pom stereotype is very overstated. Germans are worse.

Think we are down to 5 coins. 10c, 20c, 50c, $1, $2. Used to have 1c,2c and 5c coins. 1 and 2c disappeared around the same time $1 and $2 notes.

Free speech is more about the government repressing political views. Not insults for example. Outside of America very few think it says you can say whatever you like without repercussions either legally, socialy or plain ol fist in face if you say something heinous.

We're not that vigorous but something similar.
