aint that the truth,but complience is mistaken for consent

Unless attitudes have changed, it's not looked at like that though sadly

Obviously, non consensual sex is rape. Rape is masturbation.

very important message guys ...sharing this 🤗❤️🙂

Well, make sure that your trainee cops learn that. Women still feel judged +disbelieved by cops-it's humiliating enough for them to have to TELL anyone about the rape, but if they get a smart thing with an attitude it can leave emotional SCARS. bullying hsits

Ministry of Social Development is not officially the parent.

Totally agree with this 🤗❤️🙂

Sure does ....we live in a little cul de sac on the outskirts of Tokoroa....we know most of our neighbors pretty well ....there's a few elderly people who we keep a kind eye on and my brother and I put on a regular Sunday meal for a few of our friends in the neighborhood....when a dog barks ... curtains are looked out ....it's a lovely atmosphere round here .... people wave out , chat ....on Anzac day at dawn Everyone gathered out on our respective driveways with lamps and torches ,sang songs and remembered our fallen .... people say a lot of negative stuff about this town ....yes there are issues here like everywhere ....but in our little street ....we look after one another ,we look out for one another....we care here 🤗❤️🙂

My cal de sac also has an amazing community. We may not all know every one but as a group everyone knows each other. Some of us are good friends. We are always helping & or talking to each other, with out living in each other's pockets.

Yes ....drive kind kiwi's 🤗❤️🙂

I love a good merge

The hot chick in Operation Diamond was sort of hot, good thing my uncle was a drunk not a druggie.

That is very sad. Slightly off topic but when it is glass recycling day & I am walking past all the bins filled to the brim, I fell sadness that all that money spent on bottles that previously contained Alcohol. Money spent on Alcohol is money that is not being put towards other basic needs (of some families & individuals) e.g. food on the table, heating, safer cars, doctors bills, house upgrades or savings for a deposit of a home. Alcohol (& drugs) can take away so much from some house holds & yes in some cases, as you have described it takes lives.

Change MUST begin from childhood-with the aim of developing mature responsible ADULTS-NOT dependent on chemicals(yes booze IS a chemical) to make them feel adequate/normal

All cars should be fitted with blowing apparatus!!!!!!

Very sad that some people cannot control themselves but sure like to control others.

The person with the drinking problem will have alot of control over the victim in domestic violence, often family and friend reach out to the victims. Unless the victim has the support from family friends and society it is extremely hard to help.

Every single time I drank I drunk to get completely blotto , alcohol was not my drug of choice it was my fall back , and almost every time I hurt someone ,was arrested ,charged or imprisoned .,.. alcohol was involved in some way shape or form.....there's so much social harm caused by this legal drug , it's ingrained in our culture, whether it's the carnage on the streets of every town most Friday and Saturday nights, behind closed doors or hidden away in plain sight , it contributes massively to assaults, sexual assaults, domestic abuse , homelessness, ........etc ....I don't drink alcohol because I don't like what I become , I'm in recovery and have dealt with many of the driving issues behind my addiction and behaviour ....some folks have no probs with alcohol that's fine I'm not one of them and you don't have to look far in any direction in Aotearoa New Zealand to see the massive problem we have with it here .....awesome post guys ...like and share from me 🤗❤️🙂

NZ is behind the rest of the world for those caught DIC. Why isn't there mandatory rehabilitation on the first offence?
