Ban it and implement the death penalty for any smoke dealers. I will allow for camps where smokers can live outside of urban areas where they will do public works and be allocated smoking time. :twisted: But to be serious, I find smokers and vapers as a group to be the most selfish people on the pl...

Wasn’t it the Brits version of the Nats, for convenience sake let’s call them the Tories, that introduced this law? It will be interesting to see what effect this has on smoking numbers, I can’t help thinking they’ve just made smoking more attractive to anyone born after 2009. That's what I just sa...

And what's the chances of the legislation getting repealed in a change of government? Looks like the Brits version of the Nats are behind so should be pretty safe? So unless the Tories are taken over by those anti to it it should be fine. Wasn’t it the Brits version of the Nats, for convenience sak...

Meanwhile.....on the other side of the world.....reported today in Britain..... British MPs have backed a plan to ban anyone born after 2009 from buying cigarettes, effectively ensuring it will become law. And what's the chances of the legislation getting repealed in a change of government? Looks l...

KD, you are going down the path of "all mass random attacks are linked to Islamic terrorism" which just isnt the case, particularly in Aus / NZ. The headline cases of recent years are not that - they are linked to mental health (this one, the Melbourne car attack in 2017), right wing extremism (Chr...

Man, The Americans drags on. Only at series 3 but it’s become repetitive and depressing. Does it pick itself up? Dead to me. :D Even Keri's tiddies have dried up . It's all her husband cheesing on young girls looking like a pedo. In all honesty, I don't even remember them being a big part of the sh...

Also, should we really use Mary Sue for male characters? Maybe a Luke Skywalker or an Anakin Skywalker would work better?

I've watched the first episode of Sugar and I like it. :thumbup: yup, just posted same above and then saw this ! I saw ep 1 last night and I was a tiny bit deflated after how much I was looking forward to it. The cinematography is beautiful, Farrell looks the business in his suits, LA looks magnifi...

You may find it an awful world view, but if you were honest with yourself, you yourself spend more time focused on the negative than the positive, well you do if your posts on here are anything to go by, this is not a dig at all by the way, but if you see/read a post that you disagree with you come...

They cant control their "flocks". This reaction from angry young middle eastern men isnt totally uncommon. Fighting with police who where there to get the stabber just shows it takes anything to set them off on the right situation, luckily it didnt escalate too much but a number of police in hospit...

Rilley has been calling out left wingers in the UK for their Anti Semitism for a number of years. She won a couple of libel cases against supporters of Corbyn. She has become more vocal and forthright in the last year. She was pretty dumb to make assumptions about what happened in Sydney before mor...

My living circumstances are perhaps an example of the dog eat dog world, who missed out so I could come here, there must be a finite number of people who are allowed into NZ, why me and not someone else. My very employment meant someone else had to miss out, maybe it was a kiwi who I took the job o...

UncleFB

It being a dog eat dog world has nothing whatsoever to do with NZ’s world view and I think you know that. That was a terrible attempt at deflection. There's no deflection whatsoever. I really have no idea where you're coming from here. You're clearly living a comfortable life in a country you rocke...

UncleFB

You disagree? Yes, the fact that you're happily living in NZ after leaving the hellhole of a country caused by your ancestor's racist policies would surely make you think it isn't all a dog eat dog world? If NZ had your world view as expressed in the most recent pages of this thread you wouldn't be...

Aren't most mass shootings in the US done by home grown wacko white boys? Why not jump to that conclusion in this case? Or you know, wait for the facts before making an arse out of yourself. Equally, looking at the list of all mass murders (more than 4 being the threshold) in Australia shows no Isl...

UncleFB

Unfortunately, it's an easy conclusion to jump to, and sadly, it was my first thought as well. I did, however, have the sense to a. keep it to myself, and b. Remind myself that it could quite easily be the situation that it was, ie. the act of one deranged individual. It was in 2021, that a man, in...
