I always thought the in breeding in Tasmania was stopped when they kicked them all out & they immigrated to NZ?  God only knows how many toes they have now.

They could only swim as far as the Aussie mainland. No recorded history of any survivors ever making it to New Zealand. Plus anything that couldn't fly away fast enough was eaten to extinction by the maoris.

Three Kiwis and three Aussies are travelling by train to a rugby game. At the station, the three Kiwis each buy a ticket and watch with bewilderment as the three Aussiesbuy only a single ticket between them.

"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks a Kiwi.

"Watch and you’ll see", answers the Aussie.

They all board the train. The Kiwis take their respective seats but all three Aussies cram into a toilet and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the toilet door and says, "Ticket please". The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on.

The Kiwis see this and agree it was quite a clever plan. So after the game, the Kiwis decide to copy the Aussies on the return trip and save some money, (being clever with money and all that).

When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for their return trip. To their astonishment, the Aussies don’t buy a ticket at all. "How are you going to travel ‘without’ a ticket?" asks one perplexed Kiwi. "Watch and you’ll see", answers a Aussie. When they board the train, the three Kiwis cram into a toilet and the Aussies cram into another nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterwards, one of the Aussies leaves and walks over to the toilet where the Kiwis are hiding.

He knocks on the door and says, "Tickets please"!!!!!

hmm hard to know if your'e kidding, but...

i don't think the blacks in darfur would agree with you. they had their guns confiscated (with un sponsorship) leaving them pretty well defenceless, only to be slaughtered or driven out of their homelands by the sudanese government with their shiny new chinese made ak47s.

i think you attitude is insular and and counter to the basic premise of individual rights, but even aside from that, gun control is a global debate and a stance taken on it one way or the other at a national level can have global implications. the un has seen to that with it's push for a global ban on the illicit transnational trading of small arms, which might on the surface sound like a good thing but feel good trendy coffee shop intentions usually have little relevance in the real world. under their vision for a perfect gun controlled world only governments or organizations sponsored by governments would by international law be allowed to trade in and ultimately posses small arms. and as far as i'm aware the un categorises small arms right down to handguns. non state actors (that's the blacks in darfur and you and me sport) wold be watermelon out of luck and relying on the un to ride to our rescue if our governments got uppity, just like they have in bosnia, darfur.. 

I've said this about 3 times in this thread but I'll say it again.... I am entirely aware that gun policies are not a good idea for everyone. Even in America it would not be a good idea, there are simply too many guns. Australia never reached the extent of public arms as America has, if I am not mistaken.

The fact of the matter is that gun control has worked in Australia. We have a very low gun-murder rate compared to countries with widespread gun ownership.

Like I said, I do not advocate this for everyone, I speak only for Australia.

The truth is that you don't trust other people.  You don't trust other people because you actually don't trust yourself.  It's called projection.

That's quite a logical leap you're operating under there. Spare me your 'Dr. Phil approved' psychoanalysis, please.

The amount of items that can be used to kill a person is only limited by another's imagination.  The availability of guns, knives, cars and feathers will not really stop a person from killing.  It'll only stop them from shooting, stabbing, crushing and tickling to death.  Dead is dead.  I'm pretty sure a dead person really doesn't care if he was shot or what have you

Another leap... Who ever said that gun control will restrict the desire to kill? No one here and I'm pretty sure that no one has ever been so foolish. Making it harder for people to access guns simply makes it harder for people to actually kill other people. It doesn't decrease their desire to kill it just makes it hard for them to act out this desire.

Killing someone with a knife is much more difficult than doing so with a projectile weapon from a distance. A stabbing is much more personal and requires a stronger conviction than to just pull the trigger from across the room. It's also easier to survive a stabbing than it is to survive a gunshot wound.

Refer to my above post, I don't propose that America takes your guns away as that would be the height of stupidity. You guys NEED guns, I'm on your side.

We are different and we don't need them. I don't know why you're arguing with me.

An Aussie bloke is having a quiet drink in a bar and leans over to the big guy next to him and says, 'Do you wanna hear a Kiwi joke?

The big guy replies, 'Well mate, before you tell that joke, you should know something. I'm 1.90 m tall, 125 kg and I played as a forward for the All Blacks."

"The guy next to me is 1.85 m, weighs 115 kg and he's an ex-All Black lock."

"Next to him is a bloke who's 2 m tall, weighs 120 kg and he's a current All Black second rower. Now do you still want to tell that Kiwi joke?"

The first bloke says, "Nah, not if I'm going to have to explain it three times."
