The State of the Forum

[outlander]

I originally joined this space because I love the bush and love to be out in it and hear about others' experiences in it. I am an old man now and have seen many changes in our little but amazing country. For the first time in my life I am scared by what is happening here. I grew up in a family of communists and trade unionists and recall sitting on the dinner table while my communist grandfather expounded Marxism with his cronies. I was born in the "Freemans Bay" and remember it being torn apart and our families being moved into "Transit Camps" to break down the working class resistance to Government dominance. This country has always been a socialist experiment, and that continues today. If you cunts want to be rats in a maze - go for it. I'm gonna head for the bush and live or die how I want. I don't even expect to live a lot longer, but it will not be how Saint Jacinda wants, or how Cahill wants, or how the ferkn Islamists want or how Tarrant wants - it will be how I fukn want. So you can bend over and get fukt by all of the above - that's your choice. Fukya. seeya.

I hear what you say,mate and I wish you all the best with your decision. If I were also a wealthy man and could afford my own patch of bush far from the madding crowd, I'd do the same in a flash. I also wish you everlasting good health as if you ever need medical care, you'll find yourself back in the maze and reliant on all sorts of rats to survive. I live an hour from the nearest village and happily rely on no one for entertainment or survival. That is until 6 weeks ago when I was lifted by chopper and under went 8 hours under the knife and 9 hours on a heart lung machine. It's these sorts of things that make 'living in the bush' unpredictable. Anyway, the very best of luck and I wouldn't hesitate to do the same if a piece of solitude in our over crowded, tourist infiltrated NZ presented itself.

@outlander, thankyou. I am a pensioner, sucking off the public tit, not at all a wealthy man, and a medical/physical wreck. But I am a Law-abiding licenced firearms owner and refuse to be typified as a dangerous owner of guns. The only danger I wish to pose is to deer, and I can barely make it to the letterbox and back at the moment. But I despise the political bullshit that deems me, and all you other blokes, a danger to society, and I will not give up my right to express my political views, as you other pussies seem prepared to do. SO shut up and try to be safe (it won't work) or speak up (it might work) Do what you want but don't tell me to shut up. I'm leaving this forum and will say what I want elsewhere. As said prior, fukya, seeya. Take care of yourselves and watch your backs.

I never told you to shut up. It may have been the letter box..?

Sorry @outlander,didn'tmean you, meant the ones who responded earlier. I'm not good at being told what to do - one of my many failings. Another is being compliant - VERY bad at that, witness the scars. The letterbox is the goal not the mouthpiece, getting back is survival

That's okay,mate. Just couldn't work it out, all the very best for your recovery too. Cheers.
