No, Benazir Bhutto did it first in 1990. Jacinda is the second.

Oh come on, I’m no NZ First supporter, but look at this comparison between NZ First and Green. NZ First are notoriusly hostile to Maori issues, but that aside they’re not that far apart.

Checks out

While I see that point, I still don’t understand how being relentless until someone succumbs to your will isn’t coercion.

Good. It was garbage.

“Slow down” but not “stop”.

So “men have penises” does not imply all men have penises?

It seems like basically these events are nobody else’s fucking business to me.

I was thinking of James Frain, but I guess he’s a Vulcan :)

Also, one of the places where the population are least likely to want to go to a shit-hole like America.

It’s a very American world-view, to be sure.

Us English also brought us “rape rape”.

Bit like “gang bang” you mean?

This is bestiality though. Only Australians go for that sort of thing.

I imagine most of the commenters are American, a country who’s citizens regularly describe it as “The greatest country in the world” despite having no universal healthcare system and scoring poorly on many of the metrics most people might consider important. But they’re obsessed with identity politics, so it’s okay to…

No, “cack-handed” is a legit phrase, it means awkwardly or badly performed. I’d like to know what the French equivalent is though, as it’s quite colloquial.

Beautiful soundtrack too.

Haha that’s great!

Fair enough, although O’brien started out very American and got more Irish as the series went on, even though everybody knew him from The Commitments. I think the fuss about diverse casting will die down. It didn’t last long in non-genre shows, and eejits can only be outraged for so long :)

My comment was just a flippant remark, but: Agreed, previous Treks have had this trouble in spades. Nevermind the ethnicities, count the accents. Even the racially diverse characters have all been American. You have Picard, Scotty, Checkov and that English dude from Enterprise, and that’s about all the non-American…
