Bad Things

What is your problem?? This whole mess began when I told the OP that he was a disgrace for turning the suicide of a teenager into a something political. I wasn't the only one saying that either. Now you're all butthurt with me because New Zealand passed new gun laws? Find something productive to do with your time instead of being such an sensitive angry little snowflake.

Yeah, you keep believing what you want to believe to keep you happy. Fortunately I still own property, pay taxes and have the right to vote in the US.

These new gun laws are a bit unique since it has just about complete public support, in addition... all political parties are supporting it. Can you imagine having a government where parties get along and try to work with one another for the common good? The bill generally gets debated in Parliament and if passed, becomes law (Act of Parliament). Just curious if American media is reporting that the shooter was actually an Australian who moved to NZ to specifically do this heinous act? He moved here a couple years ago and was able to legally buy these assault weapons and isn't even a NZ citizen. Not good. One of the most frustrating/annoying things about this all is how the American NRA has put "boots on the ground" in NZ to try to influence NZ politics. Kiwi's are pissed. Just leave us the hell alone, NRA. Correct. There have not been any since then. "The University of Sydney, in a 2016 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found Australia hadn't experienced a fatal mass shooting – one in which five or more people are killed – since the 1996 shooting. In the 18 years prior, 1979-1996, there were 13 fatal mass shootings in Australia."

First of all, we don't have the second amendment here. Gun ownership is a privilege and not a "right". Before the government even announced the new gun laws, the nations biggest chain of hunting stores voluntarily decided to remove all "assault" type weapons from their shelves. Yeah, thank heavens is right... I honestly thank God every day that we moved here. 14 years now. Absolutely love it. Oh... maybe you were also being sarcastic. Did you know that it only took Australia to change their gun laws 12 days after their last massacre in 1996? You probably didn't.

Cheers. I was surprised about that too. Anyway, after my visit to the PPP board, I placed quite a few people on my "ignore list". Sadly, a few of them were members that I've enjoyed corresponding with since the '90's. I have zero tolerance for hate.

Apologies. This has been a helluva emotional week down here. I gotta say... I (stupidly) went to the Politics board on here a couple days ago to see what people were writing about the Christchurch massacre. It was simply shocking to see the blatant hate and ignorance in so many people here. I figured this guy was spouting the same kind of BS.

You show more of your ignorance with everything you write. You do know what happened down here last week, right? You do know that our gov't has already banned all semi-automatic assault weapons, right? (It only took 6 days since the shooting.) Do you know that all NZ political parties supported the gun law change? Oh that's right... New Zealand is a disgrace. We should try to be more like America. Give me a break. Pathetic.

You are a disgrace.

You heard wrong. The team themselves are having the conversation and are certainly not being "forced" into anything. Fake news. (Or a cancer...) Just joking!

I've never had a problem wearing Bill's gear, no matter where I lived. That's silly. That said, no one in NZ is going to know what the Bills logo stands for.

Bugger... you usually seemed to come across as a decent guy too. What does this make you? I honestly couldn't care less. You're just another one to add to my ignore list.

You are a pathetic POS for linking the video to this Bills board. May God bless your soul.

Just couple nights ago, my wife mentioned that GOT was coming up next month. I'm psyched! I had completely forgotten out it... it's been so long since the last season. I like hearing all of the theories, but remember the wild card in all of this is Brandon/3-eyed Raven. He really has the power to change just about anything.

Can't wait!

I personally wouldn't mind watching the Browns continue being a dumpster fire of an organization. In this wacky, bizzaro world that we live in, it's good to have some things remain the same.

Carpe Diem. You never know what the next day will bring. God Bless you, Alex.

Yes please! Oh, and speaking of Turnaround... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNHDfl__g2c

Wholegrain toast, marmite and a fried egg. Simple and hard to beat. (Unless it's Eggs Benedict!) Many of my coworkers have free range chickens on their properties, so delicious eggs are inexpensive and easy to get.

How do you know they haven't found diddly squat?

You think he would've changed the team colors to that odd shade of orange that he seems to like so much? Orange and white.
