Fish and Game found that fighting to keep river protection orders etc was such a drain on finances it became unaffordable. 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.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

An itch ... is ... a desire to scratch
is this a pisstake or what or am i like a lump of concrete under your foreskin (to be polite.)
I DID NOT KNOCK CHRISTIANITY-it was simply a metaphorical phrasing which im pretty sure the majority of persons could understand.
for your benefit Im an RC (albeit lapsed due to romevsme over the issue of divorce).but do i get het up every time paedophile priests ,and snide remarks are made re kiddy fiddling catholics -no.Its no bloody use cause it goes on and on and on like a broken record.Ignore it!
really youre making a mountain out of a molehill.now good day to you and goodbye
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.
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.

Father Paulson got chased out of town so he fled to London it must have all been to much for him though he threw him self into the Themes river , They found him clinging to a boy.
The Green party putting the CON in conservation since 2017
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.
