You wouldn't be so for them if you knew how much they cost. You do know how much they cost don't you?
The whole meth thing is a crock. There is no epidemic. You don't get hooked trying it just once. More people admitted to using cocaine and more than twice admitted to using MDMA (Ecstasy) in 2017 then to using meth, ffs. And yep, no one has ever been ...
"Gayford has been the subject of many posts and much innuendo on WO since the election." Links please.
I don't think confessions should be allowed especially in murder cases. The risk of a false confession is just too high even if the police have done everything by the book and given the modern forensic technology there's absolutely no need for them.
I already have.
Well one instance is not enough to prove a conspiracy as opposed to simple idiocy and incompetence. But if a pattern emerges of Labour party officials dropping the PM in the crap then you have to start to wonder. Correct?
The irony is if the Bill becomes law then it'd make medical marijuana law reform infinitely more difficult. This is because the government can turn around and say "What do you need medical marijuana for? There's all this CBD medicine you can take!"
The government (mainly NZF), just isn't willing to allow people in chronic pain the relief they need if it involves cannabis. The attitude is people in chronic will get relief once locally produced CBD medicines hit the market but until then, here's a ...
Well they get groped which is what we're talking about. In any case being intoxicated is no excuse for sticking your hand down someone else's pants. I just don't see it as rape culture unless either the 20 year old perpetrator wasn't drunk or would have ...
This isn't an example of rape culture. It's an example of what happens when you have a bunch of young people and far too much alcohol.
Cannabis herb is a herbal remedy and so section 28 of the Medicines Act applies. http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1981/0118/latest/DLM55427.html 28 Exemptions in respect of herbal remedies (1) Notwithstanding section 17, but subject to the other ...
Yep, and one of those fellow citizens could be the judge presiding over the case ...
Isn't a lot of the criticism about Ardern not announcing her pregnancy before the election coming from women? I mean if anyone knows how tough it can be having a baby it's a woman right?
You know the Left has lost it when they're wishing for Kim Jong Un to have a bigger nuclear button then Trump.
[deleted]? What? You feel so emboldened you don't have to hide under the word Zionist now? [how about we don't start on having a go at each other and instead focus on the issues? - weka]
Don't be stupid. What would the prisons do with all the extra beds?
We already have that. It's called the Misuse of Drugs Act. It just doesn't include alcohol and nicotine for some weird reason.
You do know that at it's core Gamergate was about corruption in the gaming journalism industry right?
I despise WINZ with a passion. Back in the 90's I got my benefit cut off at least four times due to "clerical" mistakes and each time it took at least a month before it was reinstated with full back payment. That means at a least a month with no income. ...
Yep, it's a cultural problem. The attitude of the average WINZ worker is that it's their money and anyone who walks through the door is out to steal it from them. Personally, I blame Christine Rankin and her "zero-tolerance" towards benefit fraud, for it. ...

A tiny bit of advice that (hopefully) I'm sure the mods will agree with, if I may. Don't be a smart-ass and say things like "I'm feeling blue today" or "I think I'll wear a nice red top today". Its obvious what you're trying to do and you're still in ...
https://www.math.upenn.edu/~deturck/m170/wk4/lecture/case1.html Summary: In 1936 pollsters incorrectly predicted Landon would win against Roosevelt. Reason - names of those to poll were taken from telephone directories etc and at the time telephones were ...

Citation please.
At least 80% of recreational drug users don't have a problem. As long as we're unnecessarily sending those people through the justice system it's a justice issue and not a health issue. Once drugs are decriminalised then it becomes a health issue. Plus the...
The key to understanding addiction is that addicts are addicted to the dopamine hit. So in terms of the addiction itself, it really doesn't matter what the drug is. There's no real difference between someone being addicted to gambling and someone being ...
An environmental party should be neither left wing or right and should support the party whose environmental policies they most agree with.
I wonder how much easier it is to get synthetic cannabis compared to the real stuff. If it's much easier then the government certainly needs to look at legalisation cannabis. I doubt very much that if given the choice very many people would choose the fake...
People have gone to ED and far more than what I think a lot of people realise - much more relatively speaking than say alcohol. However this is a direct result of prohibition and users being sold cannabis much stronger than what they were used to.
And while I'm here I'd like to address another drug myth. How many people use a particular drugs has got nothing to do with how addictive it is. What affects how many people use a drug is ease of availability. That's why when you decriminalise you see no ...
