  1. To me, that grown man was checking out that young man in the dress. He's projecting his own denial.

  3.  @MaoDopamineDong  In ancient times women have birth surrounded by the women in their village/tribe so they were never alone and constantly supported during and after the birth of baby. Even today, it is very unusual for a woman to birth alone, which is unsafe for both mother and baby. I finally had a natural birth with my last child, kind of half standing. It was the easiest and painless birth, and dad caught him. No unnecessary drugs and lying down and unnecessary pushing, he slid right out. My uterus expelled him. It was beautiful 😍.

  4. What the actual f@ck us WRONG with America. A child!!! A child!! Man I would dragg that school by their ponytails through the Court system I swear they would want to change their name. How dare they.

  5.  @MaoDopamineDong  You don't sound like you've been present for a birth. It's not a slippery rugby ball. It's a life, a human life. And you will embrace that child from gravity as if your life depends on it. Because it does. Because you're catching your love made into flesh.

  7.  @adrianf.6845  Probably because that young man quoted trump for being the reason he's not social distancing. A non-voter of trump is unlikely to use him as a role model. In fact noone should use trump as a role model for any reason.

  8.  @MaoDopamineDong  Really? You think so little of men, that in those 9 months of waiting for their child, they haven't learnt anything? Haven't learnt how to support and care for the mother of their child? Haven't paid attention in the anti natal classes? Knows that in that moment it's about the mother and child, because at any given moment it could become a medical emergency, and he could lose one or both of them? Like, really dude? Where do you come up with this stuff?

  10. In New Zealand we've been told not to follow his advice. Especially not to wash our food with soap, water will do just fine. Ingesting soap wrecks havoc on internal organs

  11.  @2brosofdoom196  A man with mental health issues attacked a person and was killed for it. Did you not wach the video lul

  12.  @wmd40  I was in labour for 4 days, then baby slid out. No pushing required.

  13.  @albecker2982  And how do you test that you've rinsed the soap off thoroughly? You don't know. You might have just poisoned your food, especially porous fruit and vegetables that will absorb that soap

  15.  @naberville3305  New Zealand was anti nuclear before she even graduated from high school. Lyrics from a NZ reggae band Herbs 'nuclear waste is a comin down, it's a comin down on you'.

  16. Actually most four year olds make more sense than this guy. Even toddlers can be taught NOT to eat poisons!

  17.  @2brosofdoom196  I love the police, at least in my country I do. I know they're there to help us, because that's what they do.

  21.  @naberville3305  Even if our Prime Minister wanted to go Nuclear, she would have a hard time convincing New Zealanders raised on 40+ years of being nationally proud of our nuclear free status. It would be like trying to convince us to give up our covid free status - pass (I can't even believe that is a thing I can say, and that its reference will be recognised worldwide)

  22.  @naberville3305  Yeah, I don't think people buy into the industrial society thing anymore. If there is a better way that limits the impact on others and our environment, then I think that's where we're trying to head. Having this structures out at sea with cables linking them back to land, how can we ensure they don't interfere with sea life and migration patterns? We have ancestral whales that return to New Zealand and whose lifecycles are part of the cultural identity of the Indigenous Māori. There's a bigger picture to consider. I love science, have done since childhood, and I've learnt to incorporate it with my cultural dna. I do think there's a way to manage our energy needs, but I just don't think nuclear is gonna cut it. But I can appreciate it's logic, the science in it is quite beautiful.

  23. As a person living in New Zealand, I can guarantee that all the measures we've taken to be where we are now (back to normal for months) - works. Who knew. And not only that, the number of people who are hospitalised or have died from the flu has dropped significantly this winter. Just do it already people, cover your mugs. Then maybe the rest of the world will let you near them.

  31.  @azurenojito2251  Do you have porous skin, do you?
    1
  32.  @lyricist71  Nicotine patches have to be on the skin a long time to eventually be absorbed. Soap isn't usually on the skin long enough to make it through the protective barrier that is our skin. No skin isn't porous, it has low permeability, it is our first line of defense against many things
    1
  33.  @lyricist71  That's fine, but the point is we're not talking about leaving soap on our skin to see how long it takes to be absorbed by our skin. The argument is that ingesting soap is bad for our internal organs, and therefore washing porous foods with soap could cause said soap to soak into the food, causing internal damage to anyone eating it

  34.  @lyricist71  In a time where we don't want to overwhelm the health system, doing our best to keep ourselves safe, including not ingesting poison, is the best we can do for everyone. And yes even a child can know that, as you say

  35.  @lyricist71  and noone 'knows sufficiently' - the best you'll be doing is guessing

  36.  @lyricist71  NOW what are you talking about. Whose talking about vinegar? My post is about soap. And ingesting soap helps noone. That's why my country does not find this guy's tips helpful in the slightest. The last thing you want to do is damage or overwork your immune system by ingesting soap, and then catch the virus. You're guaranteed a trip to the morgue then.

  37.  @lyricist71  That is silly. Specialist in my country spend years to study specific things to serve me and the public. If we don't think what they've learnt serves us, we say so by voting them out. I'm glad I live in a place where common sense is still relevant in those who are in charge, and in those that they serve. Now, I'm only talking about soap, and if you like going on tangents so much, go find your amusements elsewhere. MY POST that you are commenting on, is about soap. That's it.

  38.  @lyricist71  Palm to the face oh my god, do you need schooling on specialists too? We're I'm from that term isn't dished out like lollies. Where I'm from, specialists are responsible for other people's lives, so they don't 'just read this' or 'just do that'. Their work is specialized, stressful, under paid and life saving. It's their job to learn from as many knowledge bases about this virus. I'm talking about people who work with viruses. Yes they are specialists.

  46.  @naberville3305  I mean, to be fair, being a country in the Pacific means we got to see first hand the destruction of nuclear testing on attols by France. The radioactive fallout is still impacting families today. France said their testing was clean, but if it was why didn't they test it in their own backyard instead of potentially devastating island paradises in the Pacific?
    1
  47.  @naberville3305  Yes, but I'm also talking about the everyday person with family in the Pacific, are unlikely to vote a party who wants to bring more of that kind of thing into the country. It may be a bias but it's understandable. And then there's the issue of dealing with the radioactive waste and waste from mining uranium, a logistical nightmare for a small country with little land left for such a big project like long term storage of hazardous waste.

  48.  @naberville3305  So our waste becomes someone else's problem? I thought we were all moving away from unsustainable practices like that? I mean, we can no longer dump our plastic waste in China's direction. That kind of problem solving just makes you dependent on others.

  49.  @naberville3305  You did well, you got like three people responding to you there for a bit! Thanks for the discussion, I learnt a lot which is more important I think than always seeking agreement. That's just not realistic I've found 😅

  50.  @naberville3305  Ok, this piece I completely can't stand. Burying something for 10000 won't hurt anyone? So where I used to live was rural but 2km down the road was a fertiliser plant. Long story short four generations of women in my family have endometriosis. There is always an impact when it comes to dumping waste. It's so naive to think 'out of mind, out of sight'. I think in New Zealand at least we're moving away from such unsustainable notions because our land is so small and our oceans so sensitive that the impacts on land and sea are felt by humans in their own lifetime.
