I'm sorry but, no I'm not sorry that, if NZ were taken over by Muslim terrorists and forced under Sharia law, I'd say good riddance. Fuck these damn sheep. There would be no cavalry riding to their rescue.

China should gobble up NZ. The citizens already seem to have a fondness for being told what to do and which freedoms they have to give up because someone did a terrible thing. If only their government punished itself as hard when it failed. Wouldn’t that be something.

You have to wonder about the sanity of people in a government that would regard an offender so potentially dangerous they'd commit re$ource$ to keeping an eye on him 24x7x52, but would neither kick him out of the country, keep him locked up, nor terminate him.

Then justify their actions in light of the fact he was given enough latitude to manage to stab seven innocent people, anyway.

You also have to wonder about the sanity of an electorate that would elect people responsible for such clearly irrational thinking.

Leave their sheep alone! If there's anything to the longstanding Internet wisdom, those NZ sheep have enough problems already.

They have; they just couldn’t make it stick. It’s the playbook they will use eventually. All it will take at this point in the lefts clear attacks on the citizenry is a big terror event they helped precipitate with flooding the country with unvetted, America hating invaders.

I'm trying to imagine living in a world without knives.

I have two knives on my desk right now. One for opening letters and the other for opening up packages.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Let's ban water due to drownings.

Cars due to car deaths.

Fuck it, let's ban everything.

Brilliant.

Same pattern as the U.K.: Ban the guns, then ban the knives. Next up: Being found in possession of anything that might be used as a defensive tool will get you arrested.



Hammers and screwdrivers will probably be next. Oh, and pliers. The Three Stooges often used pliers to attack each other... Roll Eyes

If they were actually serious about saving lives, they would ban pools. Doing so would save the lives of hundreds of children a year. But I don't think that's really the point.

A state so disconnected from reality that it would rather blame its citizens for its own blatant failures should not exist. New Zealand might be ripe for the taking but who wants to rule over a nation of submissive cuckold losers?

It may not happen in my lifetime (and I don’t really care if it does or doesn’t) but I predict that nation will fall to an even more authoritarian country. How anyone could be proud of being from New Zealand is beyond me. Fuck that state and its worthless government. If it’s citizens had any balls they would have already pushed back hard.

Man, I'm telling you, you might want to take a look at your fellow Americans before throwing that around. Seriously. We have nothing to brag about. Just take a walk through an airport and tell me we're not a nation filled with compliant sheep. I'm sitting in the delta sky club at Philadelphia right this moment. Why am I not in the Centurion lounge? Because I was just threatened with removal by way of airport police because I was not keeping my mask on and simply pulling it down between sips of my drink. I opted to leave on my own accord.

These people, like this Percy Wetmore type trash who threatened to remove me by force for not covering my face, only have power because the majority of people in this country allow it. We are not so far removed as a whole from the every day Australian and New Zealander I fear.
