The Appearance industry from head to toe manipulates woman without mercy (lest they not look or feel good enough) and of course the bodily functions industry comes in second. Using biological roles to sustain a multi mega billion dollar industry.Just think about the head to toe services woman have been conditioned to buy. Can,t deny facts but you can be aware of manipulation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-38540462816054561892011-06-29T08:22:10.824+12:002011-06-29T08:22:10.824+12:00Why won't New Zealanders grow up and engage in...Why won't New Zealanders grow up and engage in rational debate instead of indulging emotion? <br /><br />Is it because those who are informed and qualified to debate and express a valued opinion have just had enough of the beat downs and public floggings for standing up to baseless, emotive feminist tirades?Bruce Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-61103134630456822322011-06-24T10:34:14.908+12:002011-06-24T10:34:14.908+12:00Thomas, you said on Twitter, quote:

I have overseas statistics that show 100 out of 100 people that stood in front of pyroclastic flows, died. I have no similar statistics from New Zealand, so when the Lyttelton volcano blows, should I ignore the weight of the overseas evidence when making my decision where to stand?<br /><br />(And should we now all take offense at the fact at this time I have brought up the Lyttelton volcano, despite the fact good science shows magma cannot travel horizontally to where this is, anymore, thus there is nil risk, despite Chch earthquakes, of it blowing? After all, the object seems to be, around the argument on Thompson, to take offense, rather than to have a reasoned debate).Mark Hubbardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02541153163041831880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-45641441547516317162011-06-24T08:55:12.420+12:002011-06-24T08:55:12.420+12:001.
