New Zealand is 2 hours ahead.

but 20 years behind

Yes 20 years behind,but how many semiauto firearms do you have in your gun safe???

2 hours ahead of the eastern Staes , 3 (?) ahead of South Australia , and 4 ahead of Western Australia - and then to confuse the whole deal , when we go to Daylight Savings Time in October we get to be 3 hours ahead of Queensland - who dont do DST at all.

And we may well be 20 years behind , but at least our Government trusts us a little , and lets us have semi-auto rifles and shotguns , and we dont have all the half-arsed gun restrictions that you lot have ...

Oh well , back to cleaning the Ak 47.....

Ahh fellas if ya can't kill it with the first shot.....

Mate - you know damn well its not about single shot kills - its about your government not trusting any of its own citizens with semi-auto fireams.

Back to loading the belts for the machinegun.....

Yes there are less and less reasons to live in Australia now you have a speed limit up N.T

Thats right TP - and we must not forget that the annual Darwin Awards are named after the town that Mr Bakes lives in.....

The only reason you guys still have your semi-autos is the fact that your military...err..your peace keeping force is so inefective
You may need those semi-autos to defend yourselves if a major power like Fiji decides to invade.

It's not that our Govt doesn't trust us with semi auto firearms.It's the fact that we have so many Kiwis in Australia with firearm permits that has them running scared.
Having said that the people I've encountered in the South Island have to count amongst being the most hospitable and friendly , short of Fijians ,that is.

Arh - the old " your government doesnt trust its own citizens " debate ! Aint it grand ?

'course if you had a bunch of childless lesbian ugly wimmen running Aussie you would likely still have semi-autos , duck seasons and no speed limits in the NT - but you can't have everything in life

And we still let you play us in sports so you can feel good when you beat us too.

Oh well , off to the loading bench for another truckload of ammo for the M60...

Hey I still have a duck season, well goose season and it starts very soon and I can't afford the fuel bill if I go over 120 in the navara anyway

thanks a lot for hijacking my thread!! seriously though, i appreciate the info. when i get to syd. on 3 sept i may look up robz make make him stand me to a beer instead of the other way around.---jerry

I'll be here!

NO MEAT AND TWO VEGANS: Christchurch couple Nichola and Hans Kriek are vegans. While she would not describe herself as a vegansexual, Nichola Kriek said she could understand people not wanting to get too close to non-vegan or non-vegetarians.


Carnivore sex off the menu
By REBECCA TODD - The Press | Tuesday, 31 July 2007

No sex, please, you're a carnivore.

A new phenomenon in New Zealand is taking the idea of you are what you eat to the extreme.

Vegansexuals are people who do not eat any meat or animal products, and who choose not to be sexually intimate with non-vegan partners whose bodies, they say, are made up of dead animals.

The co-director of the New Zealand Centre for Human and Animal Studies at Canterbury University, Annie Potts, said she coined the term after doing research on the lives of "cruelty-free consumers".

Cruelty-Free Consumption in New Zealand: A National Report on the Perspectives and Experiences of Vegetarians and other Ethical Consumers asked 157 people nationwide about everything from battery chickens to sexual preferences.

Many female respondents described being attracted to people who ate meat, but said they did not want to have sex with meat-eaters because their bodies were made up of animal carcasses.

"It's a whole new thing – I have not come across it before," said Potts.

One vegan respondent from Christchurch said: "I believe we are what we consume, so I really struggle with bodily fluids, especially sexually."

Another Christchurch vegan said she found non-vegans attractive, but would not want to be physically close to them.

"I would not want to be intimate with someone whose body is literally made up from the bodies of others who have died for their sustenance," she said.

Christchurch vegan Nichola Kriek has been married to her vegan husband, Hans, for nine years.

She would not describe herself as vegansexual, but said it would definitely be a preference.

She could understand people not wanting to get too close to non-vegan or non-vegetarians.

"When you are vegan or vegetarian, you are very aware that when people eat a meaty diet, they are kind of a graveyard for animals," she said.

WTF????

There are f**kwits in all countries , not just NZ...

I'm proud to be made up of "dead animals".

these morons are right. you are what you eat and since they are obviously full of shit, i guess i know what they eat!!!!!!!!!!
