1256426 2012-01-29 08:58:00 You gotta love the reasoning for this one (www.dailymail.co.uk) - strangely from a Labour MP in UK. Why haven't the riots broken out here? Twelvevolts (5457)
1256427 2012-01-29 09:33:00 You have not yet started a riot? Snorkbox (15764)
1256428 2012-01-29 10:16:00 You have not yet started a riot? Not since I lived in Tokoroa Twelvevolts (5457)
1256429 2012-01-29 19:33:00 It will be interesting to see if the NZ psyche is affected by the huge foreign intake.

Up till now I think it has been quite English, meaning restrained when it comes to insisting on change.

1256431 2012-01-30 02:02:00 I'm against. I was smacked as a child, I don't think it helped and I do get fed up with hearing the whole 'I was smacked as a child and it did me good' justification people use. My kids can be little sods, same as any other but to even consider raising a hand to them.. just seems wrong to me, teaching a kid violence is wrong and yet hitting them. Personally it's not a case of 'as part of good parenting, a light smack is ok', it's more 'as part of good parenting, it shouldn't be necessary'. My opinion only of course, but there's a woman we know who smacks her kids and it's made ours appreciate that 'it could be worse, you could live with her'. Contented (15925)

Because people in NZ are so brainwashed that they will let the Gov and local bodies walk all over them. As long as they can still get "Rugby, racing, bear and Lotto" they are quite happy.

But this bear sounds interesting - what do you do with the bear exactly?? Twelvevolts (5457)
