Should know this by now , but any Minneapolitans on here? Weather, cheap accommodation? Older brother terminal. getting emergency passport tomorrow, hopefully evisa after that (New Zealand). Don't want to bother my sister-in-law, she's distraught.

There is some beaucoup bullshit happening in new zealand media at the moment, a celeb dude is being shit on in the media for being a "casual racist", the fucking race relations commissioner is in on the act, and it's a level of retard which makes me a little disgusted in the country for sure ditto!...

There's always Matiu/Somes. Just a short ferry ride. Cheap as chips! 13$ per night for the campground! Or Kapiti! Can you stay the night on Kapiti?

(They are Pacific islands, after all) :D

When I converse with SJW's I simply replace the term racism with prejudice or bigotry, only because I don't want the argument derailed by semantics, but I've never understood the SJW definition of racism as "power + prejudice".

Catholics have always struck me as the nuttiest of Christians. People go on and on about the craziness of Mormons.

That sounds good, rayshul. My son works at the National Library, but they live up the Hutt in a small sturdy 1940s place. Haven't heard whether the power is back on yet, just got home from work.

Are kiwi building standards made for quakes? If you are living in a penthouse, I am going to start getting a little nervous for you and your family.
