It's illegal to buy a beast from your neighbour?Originally Posted by Scuba_Steve
That's news - do you have a source?
Or are you confusing the regulations with regard to butchering farm animals?
As for violent games - this is a continuation of film and TV censorship. GTA is the Clockwork Orange of today.

Aye. Normal. You're just too used to the Prozac generation.
Yeah! 30 years ago you could have bought all of them no trouble!
There were a fuckload of books not permitted on your local library shelves though.
When were you last allowed to buy a carcase from an un-licenced slaughterhouse?

Oh thats right....we have a back entance to the Beehive dont we, you know the one which it'd be to complicated to publish a list of organisations lobbying the Govt, who have their own swipe card & agendas.

When thinking of the anti-GE sentiment in this country, I've always struggled with the issue of foreign poo.
Obviously we have hordes of fat 'Mericans arriving in this country as tourista's, undoubtly stuffed to the gills with GE food that they ate in the Home of the 72 ounce burger and the Land of the doughnut. So they're coming here with Monsanto seeds hidden up their respective fundemental orifices, and given time (and exposure to local beers), they're going to crap them all over the show!!!!!!!!!
Shouldn't we make them either bag and take their crap home with them, or starve them before they're allowed in?

it's not illegal to buy it per say it's illegal to buy it for immediate feed
Clockwork Orange? as far as I'm aware that wasn't banned here was it? Also it's not illegal to buy for or show your own kids age restricted movies/books however it is illegal to do the same with age restricted games
The games aren't banned in whole like the books you mention, just illegal to let your kids play them.
Couldn't tell you exactly, but I'm pretty sure it's only been in the last Gen or so

Ban freedom camping.....
We are not allowed to take hard feed into St. James station (DOC owned now) for the Horses when we're in there because of seeds in the poo & it is recommended to make sure that the horses feet are picked out also. Dont have a problem with that. More of a problem now that its not grazed with the Gorse & Broom taking over.

Clockwork Orange - R20.
If you could get a copy, it would have been illegal to show it to your kids.
How old is this kid you're buying GTA for?
Start a new thread - so how you go with the idea that you should give that sick shit to any kid under 16...
I am therefore I do
Well there are a few there that are......representing dodgey clients.
I'll do some digging.

That's the list of those with access cards.
Not exactly "Thank You For Smoking" is it?

OK so while responding on here I have searched the Govt forced censorship & I stand corrected, films are like games & illegal to be shown to your own kids despite your better judgement.
But from what I can tell we've only had our freedom oppressed since 1994

Current reg's dated 1974 but the meat industry has been regulated far longer, and the regulations have always banned the sale of unlicenced meat.
In fact the more recent homekill ammendments to the act make it do-able if you follow a few basic rules, until then it's been verbotten for pretty much as long as NZ has had an export market to regulate.
More regulation doen't always mean more restrictive.

True...but some of them are NGOs or Trade Unions as opposed to professional lobbyists. There is no register and they go unreported.
