robinforlife2 Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 13 minutes ago, TheReds said: Some people are shopping addicts, should we ban all advertising on anyone trying to sell anything in case someone adds it onto their credit card, overdraft or spend their weekly shop money? Sounds ridiculous, but where does the line get drawn. If you were a recovering alcoholic then it is down to you and you only to stay away from the booze, if an advert is going to tempt you, it is still down to yourself to not go back. Are you never going to go into a Supermarket or shop and look at a can or a bottle again, or should the alcohol not be on display? I used to smoke for about 15 years, and kicked it. Was it easy, hell no, but I wouldn't blame an advert for B&H if I went back to it. My mate was an alcoholic for years and kicked it, he wouldn't want anything banned regarding alcohol as he knows it is up to himself to stay away from it, but he wouldn't want any advert banned. You've kind of said what I was trying to say, but in a better put manner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the other mob who only care about Raynors efforts to cripple the country with strikes. How do you define rich vs poor? Do you buy a ST run a car or two, holidays etc etc. Or do you prefer the Socialist vision . We tried that once, looked what happened? 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phrase Be careful what you wish for comes to mind, I'm old enough to remember the other lot being in charge, but I shudder to think how they would have coped with the largest threat we have faced since the second world war (Covid) and all it's extra costs and the problems the Russian invasion of Ukraine has brought with the massive increase in energy costs, it's not just we who have been affected try looking at how people are moaning in NZ about the rise in costs of everything but hey ho it's easy when all you have to do is moan about the oppositions solutions to global problems. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted May 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) @mods Any way we can freeze this thread? Perfectly decent point but gone off topic and into tribal abuse, I'm as guilty as anyone Edited May 24, 2023 by SecretSam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
