Once again, I'm baffled how you got from here to there, but OK buddy.

This is why I don't typically bother engaging with you, you read a comment, and go off on the most batshit insane tangent, based on what you've decided I meant.

We already have clear laws about assault and harrassment. I would like to see those upheld properly.

Pigs are more likely to fly than do that.

There was a KO housing development that was burned down in an arson attack recently, almost certainly by a local resident.

They've dug a massive hole for themselves, because the actions of a minority of people in their housing have given them such a poor reputation that nobody wants to live next to a KO property, and are willing to go as far as committing arson to avoid it.

It's a serious problem, and it should never have gotten this far.

I'm honestly not sure what you're on about here, or how you reached the conclusions that you have, but you seem remarkably fired up about an anonymous comment.

And yes, if people repeatedly commit crimes against their neighbours, they should be forced to move. That sounds fair and reasonable to me.

That may be true, but what other options do they have to control the behaviour of people in their housing? People are being assaulted and harassed by their neighbors.

The mutiny on the Bounty is probably the most well known example, and they had it all. Tying up the captain, officers forced into a boat at gunpoint and cast off, stealing the ship, kidnapping women, you name it.

I think most people would picture officers being held at gunpoint etc, rather than just walking off base.

The stuff that's stolen for resale is typically high value items, so Whittakers chocolate is no surprise. Meat is another common one, although that is perishable.

Shampoo, I guess it's expensive enough to sell for a decent amount?

Very strange behaviour.

I got peed on by a guinea pig once.

I was talking to another commenter about this, but here is an article about the NZ navy mutiny, for your consideration.

Essentially a strike over pay and conditions, rather than what we would typically have in mind when talking about a mutiny.

So, you're only buying and drinking the main brands of beer, haven't even heard of probably our best known craft brewery, but think all our beer is shit?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Island

76% of NZ's population are on the north island, so I'm not entirely sure how those numbers are supposed to work.

OP, if 76% of NZ's population live on the north island, how can the bottom 50% live in the south island?

So, what's your source for these claims exactly, how do we know you're not just making this up?

Also, population density decreases the further south you go, more or less, so you would always see a lot of wealth in and around Auckland.

It's far more than I'd have expected, and that's just beer.

Spot the poor kid.

It's been a while since I saw that one, absolutely brilliant.

I'm not entirely sure, perhaps it's just cheaper to change the sign than spend too much time fixing it?

Aren't Hexbear your mates though?

If you're living in a rural area, they tend to be very blue (national) for financial policy reasons, but from what I've seen are reasonably accepting of different sexualities etc.

As far as tourist areas are concerned, I don't think they will be significantly different from urban areas, there's not really a link between political views and being into the outdoors.
