1. Increase alcohol user Fees. 2. Increase alcohol sales licenses. 3. Ban Alcohol advertising and marketing. 4. End Service at 10 pm and close Taverns at 11 pm. 5. Make Fortified Wine and Liquor Pharmacy items and end sales at 6 ot 7 pm. Limit sales to bottles of 500 ml or larger. 6. Lower the Blood Alcohol Content for Driving Under the Influence to .024 and increase the penalties. 7. Lower Distracted Driving Blood Alcohol Content for Commercial Drivers to .005 and increase the penalties. 8. Modify Dram Shop laws to provide compensation to victims and their families of over service rather than protecting irresponsible alcohol retailers from responsibility. 9. Ban Alcohol industry from making political donations. 10. Sober Adults deserve discounts on insurance premiums. Not only automobile insurance but Renters, Homeowners and Healthcare Insurance. In Illinois the leading cause of Residential Property Casualty Claims is people drinking alcohol watching a sporting event on TV who try to cook a hamburger at halftime and fall asleep. Sober Adults are overcharged by one third on all insurance products at a minimum.
It is cute that people still think they can change society with this remarkable information. We all know alcohol is terrible for humans. Weed needs to be legal and alcohol illegal. Props to this guy but no way will anything change. Every bad event in my life has indirectly or directly been related to alcohol in some way. Astonishing
Thank you sir, for the clarification regarding the lies that were told by 'explorers' in the past, and of course the reasons why they told them! I much prefer "Once were gardeners"!
Quite a history about the Maori - put the Inca's or the Aztecs to shame in degeneration. Outcast from the Cook Islands during the 13th century as weaker primitive Neolithic people by later waves of Polynesians (Maori were from the original wave of primitive Polynesians pushed right out across the Eastern Pacific by successive stronger more advanced groups arriving from the west). They were outcast on rafts and some floated to the North East Coast of NZ driven by the South Equatorial Current and were stranded for 500 years. The weaker were pushed down to the South Island or Chathams etc. So the South Island Maori (had their own language) were the weakest of the weak. They were captured and eaten as 'Slave flesh' by the northern Maori doing raids. (Well they all ate each other - 80% of Maori pre European were dark skinned easily fattened slaves farmed and eaten by a lighter skinned 'Ariki' thin wiry elite royal caste). So it was with some righteousness as well as British cunning that they armed the southern Maori who then with muskets launched a genocidal war on the north.. That plus measles & flu halved the Maori population and removed most of the elite. The British then liberated the slaves and outlawed cannibalism. The northern Maori fought with the British against the south bad west Maori 'rebels'. The Maori sued for peace and a treaty was signed that removed all sovereignty and made them subjects to the English crown where the English would protect them from each other. Land could only be sold to or via the Crown. Maori could live on their reservations with native custom but none did. The treaty of Waitangi is strikingly clear in that the Maori cede sovereignty completely and become citizens of Great Britain - all 3 clauses lock that in. Nothing in today's 'Maori' culture is authentic. The music - all European (Maoris did not have tonal music, the songs are missionary tunes or introduced - Poi dance is from Islands and Stick dance from old Malaya. The carvings and art - all European - Arabesques that was the fashion at the time. Original Maori had limited dash carving and no painting of objects. No written language - all the syntax & grammar plus vowel inflection is European. No technology - some lagoon canoes and wood or stone Neolithic tools. No food sources - like pigs or crops - they left that all behind, all they had was a weak inbred fox (now extinct), some rats and a weak dismal pacific yam. They ate out all the bird-life including 10 species of Moa and 46 other bird species, didn't know how to farm the sea as were island people and so they turned to societal cannibalism. Today - no full blood or half blood left. No genuine tradition and almost all are offspring of Maori slave females sold to white settlers for muskets or food. -So more fake than the 'Sioux' or 'Cherokee' or 'Crow' who had at least retained some genuineness about who they were and their history. -Everything you 'saw or experienced' is fake. A totally convected disneyfied tokenistic set of inventions fueled by a grievance culture of mixed-race imposters fetishing a false past bad history because it pays benefits.

Hahahahah not gonna lie this is a terrible fiction. What a laugh mate. "south bad west". you definitely need to go & talk to other Maori ppl or even touch grass lmao. Tauiwi from Southern Asia, TIHEI MAURI ORA. supremacists can never wipe out & rewrite history when the truth is available
Hahahaha. This is absolutely comical!! Lawyers and judges in NZ have without doubt concluded Maori never ceded sovereignty.... And no translation of the Maori version talks abiut ceding sovereignty.... No war after 1840 would have o cured with a soverwnty ceding population of British citizens unless the crown then killed their own citizens... Which would of course be illegal... So.... That means you are a liar.... Or intentionally putting out propaganda.
Thank you so much for all the work that you do to help so many to get and stay sober. My gratitude runs deep. The living sober website that you run and moderate and create so much amazing content for is remarkable. Thank you again for all your hard work and support.
Please remember that Pakeha equals Everybodyelse! It is funny how a person of say 25% ethnic ancestry to Māori are full of such bitterness towards their remaining DNA/Ancestors. However as I learnt only in the last 18 months how there is still extreme bitterness between different Iwis. So the Everybodyelses Party is getting tired of the on going excuses. C'Mon Maori stand up and stop the excuses; playing the victim game will keep you in the victimhood!
This korero of us playing victim is getting old! Why do you think this? I am Maori and proud! But I do not call myself a victim! Instead I call myself a survivor in a system that is systemically racist. None of my whanau play victim but ILl tell you this, land that had been confiscated when my great grandfather went to fight for the queens army and came home to less then 10% of his lands ... that would have eventually ended up as an inheritance for my mokopuna but they never will! Before he left they had it producing food, fruits, veges and was trading them to earn a living and to come back and it's ALL been confiscated. That land was never given back! This forced my ancestors into POVERTY! THAT same land (some of it) has recently been sold to land developers for a tidy sum of 20million. So we have every right to FIGHT for what was stolen from us! Because if that was not stolen in the first place my ancestors would've left us a LEGACY and we would have intergenerational wealth but what we are left with is intergentational trauma.
You are best to stick to law.. There are stupid things you raise which have no bearing on the history of a people living without a science but believing and living the life of a Magi.
This is just silly. The 'warrior gene' (monoamine oxidase A) has nothing to do with history. It is a gene that has been found, through scientific studies, to be associated with certain anti-social behaviours, including low impulse control, alcoholism, and propensity to violence. And like it or not, variants of this gene which are known to be associated with such anti-social behaviours have been found, also through scientific studies, to be more common in some races than in others. It is indeed more common in Maori than in Europeans, and no amount of obfuscation will change that fact.
Wrong - you’ve utterly misrepresented the research. Go back and do better. Firstly there is only one race and that’s the human race. Secondly genotype alone does NOT exist in a vacuum. Genotype requires its twin combinations of phenotype to determine how an individual develops in society. To say “some races are more anti-social than others because of a gene” is just racist especially if you have not studied the environmental milieu of phenotype within which all genes develop. You have NOT demonstrated an understanding of phenotype, of Imperialist white supremacist institutional racism, and the impact of NZ’s 19th century colonisation on Māori. Nor have you demonstrated a basic understanding of sciences racist philosophical core out of which all genetic science was derived. Your comment is poor, unintelligent and utterly redundant.
@@k9wirihana172 I am indeed a proud coloniser, but that is not a myth. It's a shame you're too stupid to understand that, though it's hardly surprising.
From blood and bone I am I am. Out of darkness to light I search I search. These tears and sorrow I bow I bow. To thrust and cause I be I be. Of tupuna and tipuna Is me Is me. I Am therefore I Am
Ok so what your saying is that colonisation is the root cause of all the problems facing New Zealanders and the only way we can fix this is with politics? Yeah, nah. I think it was politics that got us into this mess in the first place!
How is drinking in NZ currently? Big alcohol runs our country. Look at the NFL they've had so many people die from alcohol this year and they haven't made any statement because they're all controlled by their biggest sponsor.
This is all based upon race therefore racist and yet you endorse this separatism resulting in people been treated as 2nd classed citizens in their own country, promoting division by granting a particular race of people based upon their bloodline special privileges over others by way of government mandate... for the evil deeds you do, don't go unnoticed in the afterlife ie..comeuppance.
Biggest idiot of all time , Michael baker is either very dum or corrupt,or both,this dickhead wanted zero COVID ,really?, It's a virus ,it's here to stay
Thank you for posting this conversation. I resonated so much with some of Sue’s experiences and reflections. As someone who has always been introverted, I have always used alcohol to feel comfortable in social situations, and actually had a lot of social “successes”-making friends and making people laugh. But almost 20 years of this practice/relationship with alcohol, my tolerance became super high and it took more alcohol to get the same outcome-if I could get it at all. And nowI realize that my social skills were completely stunted as a result. So her quote about dictating how you relate to others really struck a chord with me. I’m going to check out your site and sincerely start my journey towards sobriety. So thank you. 🙏
Exactly. Drug testing should not be a condition of employment. Impairment should be. There really needs to be a better way to test for marijuana users. if I stop smoking for 2 weeks and go for a drug test im still technically impaired in the employers eyes and can't preform the job safely? but I can come into work hammered off piss from the night before and I'm fine?
🙅🙅🙅These mandated injections are more deadly than methamphetamine. An ethically credible organisation would condemn these mandates. People with disabilities are being harmed, there's no illusions of them being able to consent.🧐🧐🧐
@@noerufrost643 That interview essentially turned into a subtle therapy session and turned out to be a bit of a cold shower of reality. Hayley then had a miscarriage before conceiving, congratulations to her.
