    Social Tonics Ass. need to put up first. Like any 'medicine' do the research, have your standards then go to the market.

    I can't help feeling it 'Alcohol Prohibition' all over again, and it might be better to tax and regulate, rather than ban.

    Yeah, I see your point. But I want a totally private health care system if we go down that path. I'll open a Mother Teresa hospice to look after the dead & dying.

    The Brits pumping Opium into China for 100yrs or so is how they got HKG & Shanghai. A stoned population can't function let alone fight back. Prohibition has its up sides too.

    On drugs & fair trade - I want Afganistan to supply the world with legal opium. It's their cash crop already, pay a fair price and production will be able to be reduced for the same or better reward. I think that would impact Tasmania though - oh dear how sad.

    Native has a pejorative meaning in NZ although positive meaning in the States.
    The use here attempts to usurp indegenous status from Maori etc.
    Just go for the political sense of citizenship, although I like heterogeneous.

    Doesn't your quite simply brilliant work also celebrate Anderton evidence based policy?

    Shit he's bringing science into policy.

    Those possum testical burning Greens wouldn't do that now would they.

    On the drugs v alky debate. We know the impact of alky but drugs are every evolving, the potency of weed etc.

    Alky has its potency clearly labelled & drugs don't so there is a higher inherent risk with drugs.

    I'll start listening once there is a similar potency measure for Party Pills, Weed etc posted on the side of the packaging.

    Of course sometimes it's not what you do but the way you do it - I'll never snort rum again and the days of my 30 sec jug skull through a straw are over as well.

    Marcus nice link to those French Photos.
    Reminds me yesty Rosemary McLeod said Rugby was like Gay Porn.
    I think she ment Pro Rugby players are camp.

    Didn't Tonga do well! No Honiss there obviously.

    Anyone out there able to tap the Paddys on the shoulder and get them to form a Fighting Wedge when facing a challenge/haka?
    I'm told it was the trad battle formation of the Irish & would add something to the pre match size ups.

  • Hard News: The Soap Opera,

    TV3s offensively nasal blond Kate was quite happy to talk about niggers as well tonight.

    I really think this word adds nothing to the story but exposes something of the reporters. All middle class white chicks who have a prejudice towards men of colour?

    I know a few amateur dentists when it comes to this word.
    The whole Niggaz thing missed me & my mates. CHCH having a few skin-heads around tends to leave this word with its highten emphasis.

    Jim now you're talking.
    "Just one nit-picking quibble--I don't think you really mean "homogeneous." That means "made up of identical components." I think maybe you mean "indigenous"?"

    That make 3 for the All Blacks, 2 for Sth Africa, & nil for Australia.

    Please correct my numbers I plucked them from god knows where.

  • Hard News: The Soap Opera,

    Concerning myself with the reporting rather than any details relating to the tragic loss of life and impending court case.

    Can anyone answer if the Herald are in breach of Judge Sarah Fleming order by offering this article & their own blog link to discuss it?

    BTW love your Heroic Cock (chk out his site).
    I think there is quite a masculine trad of sculpture in NZ.

  • Hard News: The Soap Opera,

    So does punctuation make it alright?
    The word used 4 times & not all direct quotes.
