    Something else the anti-hunting crowd never considers,big game hunting is by no means a safe sport for the hunters or their guides.

    Also read somewhere recently that islamic terror groups were becoming the primary drivers of poaching,but I guess the lefty animal rights crowd doesn’t care much about that.

    TAPS for the real deal “Great White Hunter” of Africa fame :!: :sad:

    I hope Hollywood makes a movie about this African legend.

    General Patton was quoted as saying the best death for a long serving professional soldier would be to be killed by the last bullet fired in the war.

    I suppose the best death for the “Great White Hunter” is to be killed by a rogue elephant of the type he had hunted.

      Yep. And I suspect Gibson left his shot until past the ideal time, being reluctant to kill a breeding, non-trophy bull. At 10 yards, it would have been coming like an unstoppable steam train.
      (there was probably nothing “rogue” about the elephant, Ronbo. Simply a stroppy young bull in musth)

    Don’t try this on me, you maori extortionist bastards. I’ll drive right through you. :evil:

    ‘Charity collectors are using checkpoints to stop drivers on a popular holiday highway and asking for cash.
    The collectors, wearing high-visibility vests and waving stop-go signs, have set up on Colville Rd between Port Jackson and the Coromandel township.
    The group’s actions to raise funds for the Koputauaki Community Centre have stunned motorists on the 100km/h stretch and drawn safety warnings from the Automobile Association.
    …..But Thames-Coromandel District Council spokeswoman Laurna White said the fundraiser was legal and she had no concerns over the initiative…’

    In fact it is NOT legal to hold up traffic for private reasons.

      I used to drive a 77′ Oldsmobile 98 Regency 2-door with a 403 and a Quadrajet carb.I had the air cleaner lid flipped over so it would breathe a little better and a later model high energy ignition and oversized secondary jets.

      I loved that car,it rode like a sofa and when you punched the pedal that quad would open up all four and just whistle as it attempted light speed.Worked great for hurrying folks out of the street. :twisted:

      Got stopped at what I thought was a police checkpoint and was actually a Wellington regional council survey. Sent them a bill for my time and had months of fun exchanging correspondence with them over it. Never got any money, but sure paid back the time wasting.

    Leftist hypocrisy knows no bounds-

    One of the most truly ignorant persons on the planet.

    Oh no! I’ll have to slash my wrists, I will. This is simply cataclysmic.

    FFS! Find a few disused quarries and bury the stuff.

      Send it to China and they will sell it back as iPhones.

      • Darin says:

        And we can recycle every last bit of it,but the methods we have developed to do so are deemed unholy by the environmental papacy.

        No mention of the billions of tons of landfilled regular household garbage that’s polluting our groundwater that could be turned into fuel if not for over regulation of incinerators.

          And that Darin is why the water resources should be handed to Maori for conservation; whitey is just so incapable of doing anything but rape the landscape leaving it poisoned for future generations to repair.

  6. Ronbo says:

    @Darin: Yes, but the woman is African-American and the Negro has Black Skin Privilege (BSP) in America not to pay the white man’s government built on slavery any taxes whatsoever :!: :shock:

    Of course, welfare coming FROM the white man’s government built on slavery is okay and should be increased :!: :roll:

    This stopping traffic nonsense. Why so many cowards? Just say no and drive on. If impeded just drive through regardless. Are we all wimps now? This should not be a story.

    • Yokel says:

      In Britain Plod usually supplies an Officer as part of these survey teams. It is a traffic offence to fail to stop if the officer requires you to, but then you are free to leave without co-operating with the survey!

  8. KG says:

    “Are we all wimps now?” It sometimes seems that way. :sad:

      I wish Apple and Google would buy a clue from Samsung who offered the world’s first 3g watch last year.It didn’t go well because miniaturization has peaked in the market.When ten year old kids are complaining about how small something is,it’s time to give up.

    FBI admits that ALL its forensic experts exaggerated hair evidence at every criminal trial for nearly 20 years
    26 employees in the agency’s microscopic hair comparison laboratory overstated forensic matches so they favored prosecutors in 95% of criminal cases the 1980s and 1990s.

      Huh? Maybe now they will admit that Randy Weaver was innocent and the Branch Davidians didn’t fire the first shot.

    “It seems we are looking at the worst massacre ever seen in the Mediterranean,” UNHCR spokeswoman Carlotta Sami said.”

    English as a second language, or deliberately incorrect use of the term “massacre”?

    Aside, this idiot is clearly not familiar with the naval history of the Mediterranean. :roll:

  11. KG says:

    ‘700 feared dead as boat sinks
    The shipwreck may be one of the worst disasters of the Mediterranean migrant crisis.’

    Not at all. One of the worst disasters of this crisis would have been if the 700 invaders had landed in Italy.

    Very cool:
