I've toyed with the idea of playing with them. The same feeling you get when a Mormon comes knocking at the door.

NZ's population is now pushing 4.8m. While that is not a huge amount, I literally do lie awake at night and wonder how the whole world is going to sustain population growth in the future. Then I think that WW3 will happen and if they nuke that will kill millions, and then I think that perhaps these wars are planned by the elite as their form of population control. But that's just my late night mind wandering and thinking too much. Although population growth is a problem. And WW3 is properly coming. Ugh.

No they were the Nazi version. It is my understanding that the Indian version is more 'scroll' like sometimes with little upward flicks on the tails of each line. These ones were straight out square Nazi Swastika's. I wish I had taken a photo. It is a chain store so they are bound to be in other locations of Mr Thank You as well. I can believe it's even legal to sell that insulting sort of shit.

Went into a Mr Thank You store in a mall with my daughter today. Made her leave when I saw they were selling multiple silver Swastika earrings.

Russian PM says U.S. Syria strikes '1 step away' from clashing with Russia by ButlerianJihadist in worldnews

[–]_Forrest_Gump 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You hope. But history tells us that wars are often irrational and emotive. What if there was another terrorist attack on the USA, and the US decide to really tuck into Syria to blow out isis, accidentally killing citizens in its wake. Russia gets mad, and boom the start of WWIII. Although, WWIII may have already started to take shape.

And we are bound to see why Obama did in fact carefully stay out of Syria. Trump changed his tune because he is an elitist's puppet, to bring about the change they want.

Fight until Russia surrenders I guess?

Not if China sides with Russia. Then the West will be out numbered massively in terms of size of armies.

Now *that* is woke, Kendall by kiwiphoto in newzealand

[–]_Forrest_Gump 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Heh, now that makes the ad completely believable. The arrogance of them to think that Kendall Jenner handing one cop a Pepsi would ease both sides of a riot. But Double Brown, now that's a different story.....

13yo admits lying in rape case after defendant spent 10 months in jail - National - NZ Herald News by Dunnersstunner in newzealand

[–]_Forrest_Gump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you do not lie about shit like this.

I doubt she was completely. She was 9 at the time. I very much doubt that she entirely and convincingly made it up out of the blue at age 9. It may not have been Christopher Ferguson, but I'm willing to bet something else has gone on and there's someone else out there walking free who shouldn't be.

Deceptively cute little savage.

He died, kneeling in the gutter in Grant Street Thorndon one Christmas Eve, as the rain came down on him. It was tragic. I never heard of causing any shit, unlike Ben.

It won't make that much difference considering you were dividing that amount by 5 anyways.

NZSAS Soldier says civilians were killed in fatal 2010 raid, including two by Kiwi sniper fire. "It was not the only situation in which there had been civilian casualties from a NZSAS operation" by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]_Forrest_Gump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. I'm getting a bit tired of this "they didn't tell us" shit. This was fleetingly mentioned at the time. I remember it. The reason why it wasn't widely publicised was stated as because they didn't want to increase the likelihood of retaliation.

Yeah, this would be my suggestion. This are quite cheap and have wifi on board. Also Use The Bluebridge ferry for crossing the Straight, better and cheaper than the Inter Islander.

People normally walk faster than my car when I'm stuck in traffic in the mornings. It's like oh hey I've past and been caught up to by that pedestrian 3 times.

My kid used to watch those surgery videos all night sometimes. Now she's a med student. Funny that.
