The State of the Forum

[Micky Duck]

well I for one have just about had enough....so many forum users are starting to look like loonie tunes as of late.... (its nearly as bad at the other pub when anyone bothers to walk through the batwing doors).... at least in that establishment the politics HAVE thier own section so its easy to avoid it....
funny just how many still frequent both.......

I do wonder sometimes if people stop and think...a copper will probably be reading this soon...before letting loose with a torrent of abuse... sad state of affairs all around.
take care people.

Well I’m at an age,like Keneff, where I lived through lots of changes in NZ. I have never felt so sad and bad about my country, this knee jerk bullshit has had a severe affect on me personally and I am not affected with any of my firearms, YET. I’ve never been so personally upset by any govt. and I lived through Muldoon, very high interest rates and Aramoana. I’ve endured some hard times and worked hard, paying tax all my life and never taken anything back, except for my pension, which I also get screwed on because I am married and still work.
I’ll thank some these guys for helping know I’m not the only one feeling like this. When I line up this MP next week I hope I can get through to him how not only myself but so many others are feeling the same. Thanks to @Woody for the phone calls!
You young bucks should sit up and take note, you should also make sure your thoughts are conveyed to your MPs, you have many years to live and your freedoms are being eroded at an alarming rate!

If you have large amounts of money to throw away no wonder you don’t GAF. Not all of us can go out and spend that way. If I could sell two to buy one I would but I can’t. Can you comprehend that echo bravo foxtrot?

Yeah, I have loads of money and I dont GAF

[sightpicture]

You could take your own advice ebf. You still have a legal gun. Lucky you. I don’t know anyone crying or giving up but no wonder you don’t care because you’re still ‘allowed’ to shoot. Will you be quite so blasé when you can’t? And how do you know which guns will still be legal after the next tranche?

[Sideshow]

And here we go again......not really in the op theme is it

Meh.

[keneff]

Good. Grief.

Well keneff we can’t say he hasn’t made his views clear. Every dark cloud’s gotta have its silvered Wormtongue...

I take a more philosophical view of the current discussions - out of chaos will be formed something new - a solution. The current chaos and discussion is just a natural step towards that. Not even one year has passed since the 'Tahr Cull' and after a bit of chaos we got organised, chipped in and were heard.
Bring it on - all the difficult discussions, different opinions, political discussion. Nothing worthwhile in life is easy. Free speech is more valuable to me than my right to firearms. (I have not missed the reason this thread was started) Surely there is nothing wrong with the forum being a place where every member can express their views when such an important issue does come up.

@keneff, pull you head in

i shot competitive service rifle, so don't go assuming I am not affected by this

so currently I can not use semi's, but I am doing everything I can to support the service rifle orgs and continue to attend shoots using a bolt gun.

or I guess I can curl up in a little ball, cry and give up...

Do what you want, mate, while you can. And I don't care what you've done. Good onya for whatever. What I DO care about is what you can do tomorrow. AND what I can do, or my nephews, or my mate's kid or YOUR kid, or the neighour down the road's kid. But never mind, I might as well curl up in a ball with you other gutless cunts who give a fuck about nothing except yourselves. You just don't get what's happening, do you? Fuckwit ignoramus. Political fodder.

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.

Mate - I know where you are coming from. It is natural to feel that shit has taken a turn against you - and some have used the Forum to vent their disgust or to reflect how they really feel...
I cannot help but feel that this is a natural response mechanism for some people - and accept that this is a realistic response to a feeling of helplessness (having done nothing wrong - how are we now criminals/marginalised/victimised etc - this is a natural response).
My question to you (again, I feel this is a perfectly reasonable response based on what you have stated in a response and the reaction of others).....

I really have to ask - are you OK? (PM me if you need help or want to talk - even if you think I've been a ballbag in the past...)

It is what it is.
If you don't like a post skip over it, don't click on it, you get the idea from the title... So why read it then moan about it.
Choose another thread your more interested in. You don't even have to click "new posts" eg, if you just want to read about varmints, go straight to the varmint, small game section. Skip the rest.

hmmmm agree and disagree, I think someone should call out the crazy if the person is being crazy (we've seen that the last couple of weeks) if we just ignore it it festers and tarrants happen... chur

I thought you had thrown your toys and left? I'm glad you've stuck around but please don't be so mean to one person if they have a different view.. I'll never call you a fuckwit just because you think differently..... show some maturity
