    Yeah, that idea has occurred to me in the past. I grew up in church, and the parallels to me,are pretty obvious. Zealots are nearly impossible to reason with.

They then teamed up with F&B who now pay the legal bills, often running into the $millions. F&B can be a formidable foe because of the huge financial backing they have!! How to convince them that this part of the planet doesn't need saved from Game animals will be a problem Tahr

    And that muzza is why I have never employed anyone with a degree into an operational management role. Don't get me wrong. I acknowledge that anyone that has been to university and has gotten a degree has at the very least learned to think critically but down in the mud they are as useless as tits on a bull.

    Plus, most those who "worm" their way into those positions have an "agenda".

    The MSC numbers are right off the wall. The only thing you need to register for to hunt game animals is for a permit to hunt on public conservation land. In the last few years about 34,000 different individuals got a DOC permit to do that . NZDA membership is roughly a quarter of that. A decade ago Fish and Game used to sell about 32,000 game bird licenses a year, but I don't know what the number is now.

    I thought there'd be more people getting permits than that.
    Wonder if they meant licenced firearm owners.
    Maybe they got the number from the plod union rep?

    Thanks a lot Rushy. You have never met me, no idea what sort of person I am, but solely because I have an engineering degree you have determined that “down in the mud I am as useless as tits on a bull”.

    I would suggest that comment says a lot more about you than it does about me.

    Hi @kotuku

    The term "fundamentalist christian" is an imprecise term which is rarely used in its literal meaning, but rather to bash and dismiss believing Christians as cranks. Poor choice of words, but I accept you were not knocking the Christian faith itself.

    Anyway re romevskotuku I agree the RC church is in total denial about human frailty on the issue of divorce, as are many protestants. It's a brutal simple fact many relationships do end up on the rocks. For that contingency, specifically to curb some of the nastiness involved, the Old Testament laid down the law that if a woman was "sent away" [usually translated "divorced", which does not really carry the full meaning of the shoddy treatment some hubbies dished out to their wives] she should be given a certificate of divorce by her husband. A divorce certificate allows remarriage! It is also interesting to note that it was not the church issuing the divorce cert, nor doing the marrying in the first place. Essentially as much as you marry someone in the sight of everyone, you unmarry them in the sight of everyone. The only thing that renders a legal document a legal document are the signatures, but it's so easy to forget that in the end it is about the two signatories -- not about whether this or that institution agrees or not. You can't FORCE people get on any more than you can stop teenage boys from masturbating!

    Re pedophilia it is really no RC issue, it's a universal problem all religions and walks of life. Enforced celibacy is of course no greatly inspired idea but the entire house of cards the RC has constructed in the human relationships department will hopefully develop cracks and fall. Once the celibacy rule gets dropped, many priests in their middle and old age will go and meet a lot of Miss Rights, who will very frequently turn out to be divorcees.

    I knew a Christian fundamentalist ages back.
    He had the fun part and a big helping of mental. His downfall was mixing the bible ( read literally) with lashings of illicit substances.
    Was a shame..... coz he crashed and burned badly.

    I read that and had to laugh. (Still am). I've met a few of those. Usually with a giant helping of mental.

    I can recognise them and how they behave more easily nowadays, and that helps when they're about to spontaneously self destruct. I usually get clear of the blast radius.
