Interestingly, we had exacly this discussion with some friends during the last days. I my opinion the general direction is sadly enought towards reducing liberty, with `liberal' being alrady a 4-letter word for quite a while.

Hello Luka and welcome to the forum.
Our last goverment was hell bent on reducing our liberty, although pretending otherwise. They tried to curtail our freedom of spech whenever they did not like the subject being discussed. They also introduced thought crime (see 1984 ) by introducing a law which stated that if someone thought you were saying something nasty you could be prosocuted whether there was intent or not.

teddy, I think all governments aspire to have complete control, ours (NZ) are no different, I hate this PC crap and will not be part of it on or off line "a spade is a spade is a spade" is my motto type of thing, this is not to say one sets out to offend someone but if making a true statement offends, then so be it, tough lol

I mean really ...

David, We also have some weird jokers in Government, that tell you how to bring up your children
Poly = “they are really just small adults and you must reason with them and not punish” Right! ever tried reasoning with a teenager and when they get to their early twenties they suddenly realise that they know everything until they come up against another teen who also knows it all then it becomes interesting
Your comment re the indigenous is also applicable here and so I believe in the States.
