What say you?Keep in mind that "continent" has various definitions, one of which is simply "large geographical region that may be defined by culture more than geography". Zealandia is made of continental crust, so just because most of it doesn't show doesn't mean it shouldn't be a continent (in my opinion). less

I haven't completed my homework, not even close :( I was supposed to do it Saturday, but had a huge list of chores, so I set myself today to finish writing it, (later session needed to edit it). But I allowed myself to get distracted... I didn't get down to it, then son asked me to go with him to a timber supplier, that was shut, so we went to an aquatic store in the same retail park. He took foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever... choosing fish... then after returning home he wanted to go to a DIY store to look for wood, again he took ageeeeeeeeees to choose a piece of wood, taking out each one to examine it.. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr But who's to blame? Me, really cos I went, with him.. I shouldn't have.. especially as he always takes forever.. but then again he's my son, and it won't be long before he flies the nest and although it's a little thing, it's nice he likes me to go with him now and then.. But now my homework seems insurmountable because I am really, really tired... less

Anyone have any advice, first hand experience, or knowledge of them?

She never campaigned for him or showed up with him or was interviewed or asked anything. Are her politics different from his? His family is always with him everywhere all the time. When did you ever see her anywhere with him/them? Odd ain't it?

So why NOT go out and lie? What could it hurt?

He/she may be out there just waiting for the opportunity that this country affords...or used to afford, to all who came here for a better life. What/where is that "better" now?

Will current retirees be "grandfathered" so that they will have no changes and only the Newbies to retirement will be affected? Anyone know? Will Ryan be given authority to pull the rug out from under current retirees and have his way with them? What's it gonna be like worst case if Ryan gets all he has dreamed of?

Having multiple critics endlessly and you can see the problem the obsessed person has. Always attacking/always trying to sabotage/delegitimize/hobble. With such a mindset who has time for anything else but "getting back at and taking down"? Is that person someone with whom you'd want spend any time? Go on vacation with? Run your country? Why?

He further said that's how dictatorships start...by shutting down the press. Would you be comfy having a Dictator as head of state with him controlling all the media? Why?
