Hard News: These things we must now change, in reply to Pete,
this has been a major event outside of this leftwing echochamber
What the changing of gun legislation?
Enough with the dismissive rhetoric too
The thought ever crossed your mind you may be in an echo chamber?Guns are fun and useful
Im pretty sure you are in the minority with that sentiment.

the healthcare industry – because it’s still very white and very abolitionist, when it gets up to the high level. I think we need to mature, because there’s a whole lot of people being taught about harm reduction at university level, then they get into the industry, and it’s captured by 12 Steps. Absolutely captured.
alcohol. It’s still the most pervasive, damaging thing in our society.
Theres money to be made in addiction on both sides of whatever screen is erected there to keep the cash rolling in. Can I just scream...MOTHERFUCKERS!

Speaker: An attempt at demystifying Sharia, in reply to Neil,
Religion offered a formalisation of codes of conduct
Yeah sure I dont think that is in any dispute, the problem is and always will be the basis for that bonding.
What if soneone doesn’t agree with what they are supposed to accept, without question, a received wisdom that is clearly open to question?What happens when a group with one type of religious bonding comes in contact with a group that doesnt hold the same beliefs as them?
I dont think any of it is hard wired although some hard wired behaviours are given a certain interpretation based in that belief system.
It is all learned depending on the belief system you are born into. And as for any advantage over others there are so many variables. Those advantages often corrode into disadvantages over time. It is not as stable a thing as many suppose. -

huge dig at atheists and agnostics
I guess your mean this little gem of stupidity
'but when the chips are down and death visits, everyone seizes upon faith – everyone'.Do the chips really need to be down for a visit from death? Jeez these so called columnists and their need to use populist phrases. Well I suppose he got used to doing that on that shit radio show he had with that other tool, Jackson.
Faith? Really? If some deranged arsehole was pointing a gun the words 'Please god no!' might be one of the things I would scream tho it barely qualifies as a death bed conversion. If I have a choice I'd rather go out like Aldous Huxley soaring towards the infinite.
So I'd like to say to Mr Tamihere if he ever happens upon my words. 'You can fuck right off mate, and dont presume to know what would be on mine or anyone else's mind should death come knocking in whatever circumstance it finds us.' -
Speaker: An attempt at demystifying Sharia, in reply to Mikaere Curtis,
When it comes to Sharia law, what is the approach to fundamental human rights with which most Sharia law disagrees ?
Ignore it and carry on seems to be the way its done in Brunei. And that former champion of Human Rights the US govt isnt going to help either, apart from weakly worded statements.

Mike Hosking and all the other angry shock jocks to the logical outcome of constant ravings against the “enemy”
The Hosking lunacy and Philip Neals crap are exposed as factually wrong by Spinoff Guest writer Lisa Marriott
Hosking and ilk need to be shown up for the muck stirrers they are all the time. But doing the research is more time consuming than standing in front of your iphone while in a newsroom and reeling off a diatribe of populist bullshit.
Its known as brand Hosking it should be brand Complete & Utter Fucking Bollocks

left had right hand protocols are culturally significant in his environment.
I know because of the food consumption/ toileting protocols in those cultures left handedness may cause problems I didnt know it extended to writing I guess it does.

pedantic compliance to endless inventions of extra rules just because,
otherwise known as Bureaucratic Arse Covering. So in the unlikely event of anything happening its not their fault, they dont have to pay for any cost incurred its on your head, they might sue you for unsafe work practice, revoke any licence and charge you again for the licence and just to reiterate its not their fault.
Good luck with all that ;-o
