    What sort of business do you run? The movie 'Boiler Room' comes to mind.

    One thing that always baffles me is how vocal the minority toss-pots manage to be.

    What are the roads like over in Australia?

    Don't we all though? It's PC gone mad again.

    When you can't even kill a possum in a school without parents jumping up & down complaining, it's a pretty sad state of affairs. I'd like to know what these bleeding hearts think is a more humane way of killing vermin. Would they rather give it the blue injection?

    If any court action is taken I do hope the SPCA is held responsible for not helping the school in the first place.

    The really unfortunate thing (a side issue) is that those people who care about the country are not only the ones who can afford to leave...

    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.

    "Teach children how to kill a possum with a hammer today; tomorrow they will know how to dispose of a neighbourhood human nuisance."

    all i can say is

    Wouldnt be too suprised if someone actually did have a sawn off or a pistol in their possesion at that school

    Yip they have a fair few guns, the gun safe is in the Old school hall, mostly old war rifles bored down to .22, think they call them No. 8s .

    What would they suggest is a humane way of killing a posum, probally hugging it to death!

    If you paid attention to what's going on in your country, you'd know that far too many contributing kiwi's are leaving NZ for various reason, all well founded. Labour is taking advantage of this (knowing that smart hard working people don't vote left and replacing them with a melting pot of refugees guaranteeing them a vote.
    I have the occasional thought of my own Finn. I dont like the way the country is being ruined either but I know voting National wont fix it. Look what old Bulger & Shitly did for us. Don Brash for PM? I hope not. If National get in I will be considering moving my family to another country too.

    I hope they didn't mess up the pelt - make mighty fine socks when blended with a bit of merino.

    What I would like to see is less people whingeing about whats wrong with this country and actually DO something about it.

    Finn - if that's your attituide - I'll contribute towards your plane ticket out of here. You deserve to live in America - or maybe Nigeria would be appropriate.

    Some of you need a reality check.
    We live in probably the most beautiful place on the planet, with a managable population base, workable race relations, sane foreign policy, comparativly safe environments, no wars, and enjoy first world conditions for everything. If you work hard you can get ahead and prosper and it's GOT to be the best place there is for zooming around on motorcycles.

    Smell the fucking roses and stop burning valves on trivial stuff.

    Yes....and you wouldnt want to move to a country you couldn't milk now would you.

    Did it ever occur to you that greedy people who "milk" the system might be in some way responsible for the way things are going.

    My dog has despatched many a possum (and a couple of wild goats).

    I used to think it was great - the dog loved it and I felt I was doing the country side a favour. It was neither quick nor humane though. They are tough bastards alright.

    The dog tracked onto one in a park one day and I was egging him on - then some dude came over and told me to stop it because it was cruel. I said it was more like pest control and nature all at once.

    I dunno...

    Perhaps they should have taken away it's license and then put the possum on a prostrate cancer waiting list, not exactly humane but very effective..

    Big Dave - My attitude is like Finn's Oh actually I'm a much worse capitalistic, commie/socialist hating bastard. Would you contribute towards my ticking out of here for America? Oh I need a visa there first, maybe you could help me with that too?

    Just a thought, I don't think you want people like me on this country. Besides, I'm a big supporter for Nuclear power and I hate monarchy.
    I have deep pockets. It's just that it's a deep empty pocket...........

    Value judgements - but I don't regard either as trivial.
    No monarchist either - but the method of government is more prominent that the dispatch of a marsupial.

    No Nukes. Wait for fission.

    What I'm getting at is the first reaction is 'this country is going to pot' when 'Sounds like the SPCA needs some help' .....


    And what a great idea - we start a fund to ship all the negged out sad cunts out of here! - Adelaide. we send 'em all to Adelaide. 2000km from anywhere.

    put me down for $5
