Don’t miss changing nappies, glad that shit Is long gone. (Assume the next time nappies come up will be when the mrs is changing mine...)
You mean next Tuesday on kink night?

@taniwharugby once they can wipe their own arse, and get their own food, everything is better
My boys were both born in Norway and nappy changing was a freaking nightmare in that climate. You pack them into 25 layers and then they're guaranteed to do a shit on the way out the door. Just getting them outside was a logical problem in itself! Could never do that again. Wish we'd had them down here.
Any useless cunts on here who didn't change nappies back in the day ?
a South African fuckwit I worked with very loudly and proudly proclaimed over a work bbq how he made his wife do it and never did it himself ( his kid was born about the same time as my first ). Fuck he was a cock, your typical boorish know it all Afrikaan.
I pointed out that the wife ( at the time ) and I did it 50/50 and he looked at me like I was some kind of alien. He was management though so I refrained from pointing out how punchable his face was.
I worked with a guy that said that , when we met his mrs and saw how things worked in their house it was obvious it was bullshit .

@Baron-Silas-Greenback The long-standing legal principle for income tax in NZ has been that all income is taxable unless it is explicitly exempt. The bright line test has established a legal basis for taxing some capital gains automatically, but the legal loophole for some capital gain has been to argue that it isn't income because, essentially, it wasn't intentional.
However, I suggest that in business, the main point is to make money, and buying a property for the purpose of renting it out suggests poor (or wilfully ignorant) business planning not to take into account potential capital gains. Equipment hire and car rental businesses have to record gains on any disposals of equipment/cars as income, for example, yet rental houses are somehow exempt from this if the owner decides that it is.
Consistency of laws and application of those laws is important to maintain the rule of law. The English had various civil wars and rebellions, including deposing multiple Kings to get the point across that not even the Sovereign is above the law (I'm aware that a number of these were tax-related, but usually the point was that taxation required the consent of Parliament, not that all tax was bad). If a law is bad, it should be changed or repealed. Sometimes civil disobedience is the right answer, but this doesn't look like a case where that would apply from the first day, unlike the example you gave.
@jegga allowing inflation discounts for capital gains and interest on term deposits (get the banks to apply this when deducting RWT), and using the tax raised to offset inflation adjustments to the brackets (as well as a larger one-off adjustment at introduction) would be my preferred option.
I would think that equipment hire companies would only have to return income when the item is sold for above book value. Any gain above original purchase price would be a capital gain. Same deal with rental properties that were depreciated before the rules were changed.
I was thinking the same thing , it would be pretty rare for equipment that is hired out and used to actually appreciate in value.

Open borders doesn’t take into account the different morals of different cultures. And will cause an incredible amount of conflict.
Some cultures throw gays off buildings, for example. Some repress woman.
He was incredibly naive.
Are you talking about the twat Jones interviewed? He's a virtue signalling attention whore or to put it another way the current darling of the left.
The only good thing about the conviction taking so long is that it means he will likely die in jail.
Andrew Little is probably trying to commute his sentence as we speak though.

Nice of you to post for once in this thread just to take a pot shot and not even a smidgen of an offering. Surely that's a ban?
Seconded .

@jegga my girl has two jobs and has done for 2 years.one at maccas and one at a car wash cafe. She is greedy and has a strong work ethic(away from the house, because she’s lazy as fuck there) she chose to have 2 jobs. We wanted her to have just the one so she would not fuck her study time. She is stubborn though and I liked her ability to save everything she makes.
Good stuff.
My son worked at a scrapyard on the weekends and did work experience one day [later two days ] a week before he left school . I think he learned a lot from it, god he was terrible with his money at first and now he's swung the opposite way and won't spend any.
NBA Hall of Famer and commentator Charles Barkley mocked Jussie Smollett on Thursday after the actor was accused of faking an assault, telling him he should have just gone to "Liam Neeson's neighborhood."
"You wasted all that damn time and money. You know what you shoulda did? Just went up in Liam Neeson's neighborhood," Barkley said on TNT's "Inside the NBA"
