#3 I will take the chauvinist position and state that most women aren't cut out for politics because they fold like cheap card tables when it comes to understanding things like our Second Amendment versus the unrelenting gun-grabbing pricks of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and don't tell me for a second that doesn't influence NZ politics.

#4 Weird. Some animals live-streamed their racially-motivated torture of a developmentally disabled man in Chicago, and Facebook never considered changing their policy.

#5 Jacinda Ardern doesn't grasp, we didn't wait to be given 'Commonweath' status and independence. We took it by force because we don't trust our 'betters' to rule us. Things haven't changed in over 200 years. We still don't trust 'them'.

A farmer's typical 7x57 Model 93/95 Mauser of the type confiscated by British authorities in the Free State of SA circa 1901. Anyone care to fast forward to the same region, the current day.

#9 To be honest with you, I don't understand the United States.

Because you are a tyrant, and your shithole government can go right the fuck off.

But despite New Zealand being a hunting and food-producing nation

You are a movie set and a queer notion.

They also have hobbits, but I have no idea what the bag limit is.

#11 They want another faceless bureaucracy at the UN to tell us what we can and can't own in the US? They will also happily send us the bill for their junkets to 5-star vacation resorts for committee meetings no doubt.

#12 Jacinda, You don't have to understand. It's an AMERICAN thing.

#13 Did New Zealand fight for their independence or did Britain just ask them to leave? It makes a hug difference to ones outlook.
