afaik Buddhism (or at least some types of Buddhism) came from Hinduism

I wanted to ask something

👋

but have to go now sorry

😦

you don't need to be a bird to steal people's food 😄

so why waiting?

*hiding his food*

is it from North Korea?

😄

poor fella is stealing food from a bird

I have a question o/

what is the difference between Stabilizer and Regulator group?

🤔

is it like a 1 and 2 line of defense?

oh

😄

there will be always some sort of crime

if you get rid of money they'll kill you for food

or a brand new snickers

or because you ~~kung-fu~~ car is better than someone

we do everything wrong these days

it's called aquaponics

why being a farmer is not smart?

you have to be really smart as a farmer actually

I agree

that not everyone suppose to be a farmer

every job - is a good job

even cleaning toilets

I did a horticulture course

and work on a farm a bit

and really enjoyed it tbh

I love growing fruits and veges on my own garder

but being full scale farmer....not at this stage definitely

what's wronmg being against GMO

?

in this case there is no hope for me as well

How guys you co-exist here...I've just joined...there must be a fight every day between people here

How do you want me to help? Pay my "fare share" of carbon taxes?

🤦

me

so back to the bloody climate change...how I personally suppose to help?

I recycle my s$#t...but I can't buy an electric car anyway as they are so expensive

so how?

paying more tax?

so can someone answer my question?

*still waiting for an answer*

@AstralSentient even simple Nissan Leaf is bloody pricey here as well as installing solar panels.......

@Citizen Z I don't I just want simple and clear answer but seems like no one knows......

@The Gwench haha it seems like this is what they want just too shy to sey (for now)

@AstralSentient bloody expensive in NZ....especially if you are on min wage no way you can afford it

@jeremy in New Zealand they have been cutting plants for many many years (since first settlers)....and now like "Ooopsy! We need more plants!"

😄

@AstralSentient what do you mean by invest? So are you suggesting for me to go into debt and borrow money form a bank to install bloody solar panels or buy an electric car?

@AstralSentient I am a general person.......I do what I can.....we already recycle stuff and our govt banned plastic bags (now we use a recycled bags which are 💩 but it's a different story ). But I'm not paying any "carbon taxes" or any "green taxes". They can go screw themselves!

@AstralSentient Everything! Government already receives enough taxpayers money...maybe they should start taxing themselves first like members of parliament!

@AstralSentient Astral I never support socialist ideas....so sorry! Educate and help - yes. taxation - no!

@AstralSentient Not in general.....but taxation needs to be reasonable and comfortable for businesses as well as individuals. In fact I support tax breaks for small and medium businesses.

@AstralSentient not paying it! The socialist government only knows how to tax and re-distribute....Ok. For example sugar. They (govt) were talking about sugar tax....how reasonable is that? Maybe they should educate people that consuming too much sugar is bad? and then people would start doing it (rather than going into peoples (pockets)

@AstralSentient firstly it has no benefit! Look at alcohol taxes.....people still consume alcohol no matter what. Secondly I said REASONABLE taxation.....when people and businesses feel comfortable

Socialists are so socialists lol

😄

Ok Astral

Question than

What do you believe is a fair and comfortable taxation?

in numbers please

let's say for people earning up to $30,000, between $30,000 and maybe 100,000....etc.

well it depends

what we are talking about

are two extremes

and I asked a simple question

tell me in numbers

what to you believe is a fair taxation?

like taxation in general

because if you pile up taxes

obviously you'll pay more

right

well you pay taxes from your income or capital gain taxes

(which again I'm against CGT)

but it's a different story

so tell me

how much is fair

?

like let's say 30% if you earn.....

doesn't matter in which currency

like for example I stronly believe that txes shouldn't be more than 40% for small and medium businesses

end of story

or if you earn less than 30K you are tax free

I'm not an anarchist...you still pay for roads and infrastructure
