  • I have no personal experience with this, just stuff I’ve heard online and from friends. I may well have some details wrong, but the truth is I’ve always been able to use my Visa credit card for any online shop from any country, including ones which Americans were having trouble with.

    I think some shops (and maybe countries) which have a strong trade/tourism relationship with USA will just go out of their way to support American “non-international” cards. Whether that is the case for you in New Zealand, I can’t say.

    I don’t have much stake here and I admit I could have gotten something wrong.





  • I think we should put all the religious people in half the countries and all the atheistic people in the other half. Both kinds of countries can form whatever borders and laws and politics, I don’t care about that. But if you became religious in an atheistic country you’d be banished to a religious country, and vice versa.

    There would be people who could go either way (agnostic or what have you), don’t ask me about the details and the logistics of it. But there CANNOT be a country that contains both a totally atheistic person and a devout religious person. It would be strictly enforced, no exceptions. Never the twine shall meet!






  • Interesting questions. It would also remove eyebrows and eyelashes, which serve to protect eyes from dust and things like that. Armpit and pubic hair serve to reduce friction in those areas and prevent chafing. Nostril hair, assuming it would also be gone, is part of the filtering system of the air we breathe. Considering all those health implications, being fully informed before doing it would be really important.

    But if someone still wants to do that to themselves, and is an adult capable of making their own decisions, I say let them!

    Whether it’s possible or not (the core of your question), I have no idea but the other comments seem to have some theories about that.
