I live in Auckland, Fiji

Well when the zombie apocalypse happens, the 'rewa I live in won't have too far to go backwards! It's that old thing, depending which side of the train tracks you look at things - since I'm on Gt Sth Rd, it's interesting to see how things suddenly go to hell just by crossing the road!

But, we are all just a bunch of savages!

Whenever I walk around my neighbourhood, I pick up what rubbish I see on the footpaths. It's just disgusting how people treat this country.

Where and when I grew up, there were civic consciousness films and ads shown in schools and on TV respectively to remind people how to treat the elderly, the infirm, the environment, public and private property, etc. Parents took the belt to their kids' behinds if they intentionally broke anything or defaced property. Thus kids grew up respecting others and their property.

That's called 'Social Engineering' now.
We can't have that, people should be free to act as want.

When the zombie apocalypse happens, they wont come near us... not enough brains and too chewy.

I'm sure that it is "People should be free to act as they want... within reason". Otherwise, bikers can lane split without a care of hitting wing mirrors...

...and too chewy.

Rooooaoaar!

Survival Rule #1 - Cardio

Get out while your house is still worth something.

And go where? Gore?

(no seriously its about your only choice to move south - even then there are other issues to deal with)

I was having this exact conversation the other day. Our office is down the Cuba Mall / Courtenay Place end of town. We have beggers, homeless, mentally unwell, substance abusers and gang bangers and I'm sorry - its not just old man syndrome - it does actually seem like more and more every month..... I doubt a week goes by without being acousted by someone.

I'm not usually a left leaning individual but it does seem that capitalisim isnt working very well for the great majority. Society is fraying.

You're right, "People should be free to act as they want providing those actions present no danger to wing mirrors."

Some of them havent even got wings let alone mirrors... I blame the gubbermint

The wing mirrors are the real victims in our society.

Looks like it's time for a Red Bull advert...

[Edbear]

You leave my hometown out of this!

Better example would be detroit

Of course, I stand corrected! Detroit was on the news a wee while ago. Sad...

Isn't that what the Govt. is for?

[Akzle]

...then there are other issues to deal with...

other issues... like: you'd be in gore.

Of course, I stand corrected! Detroit was on the news a wee while ago. Sad...

it was. it was voted the saddest city in the world or some shit.

it's okay! the government will come and save your society! don't fret, people!

that's one of the local women, innit. her face seems familiar...

[Laava]

''shabby and tired''?... been through Moerewa of late?

Yeah, and the wife and I commented recently on how much it has improved over the last five years. Been thru Murupara?

[Paul in NZ]

other issues... like: you'd be in gore.

Yup - its really frustrating. They ask if you have $2 for bus fare (pfft - its like 9pence) but they say two dollarze (rolling the R)

It take 20 mins to finally get wtf they are on about...

You don't recognise your own mother?! Shame on you!
