I actually know nothing about New Zealand's history at all...I'm sure it's fairly interesting but I don't think it's available here at allIt's funny but History was the subject I done best at in secondary school, I remember I done a report/project on something that was probably the complete opposite of what was expected just so I could do something different...
Generally, New Zealand history only gets a mention overseas for two reasons: firstly, in women's history, as we gave women the vote first, and secondly, in political history, as we pioneered the welfare state along with the Scandinavian countries.
History has always been a fascination of mine. I most wanted to write when I went to university but I find journalism to be intolerably sensationalist dross, hence I decided to study Political Science and History, two of my primary interests, and become an academic in one or the other. Initially, I thought it would be PolSci, with History just to give myself some contextual grounding, but I soon came to find myself preferring History. I do a lot of political history, unsurprisingly enough, but PolSci itself can be infuriatingly tedious.

That reminds me of a debate I once tried to have with my friends about why i thought prostitution should be legal; they thought I was crazy but honestly it makes sense to me
Prostitution exists and making it illegal will never make it go away; at least if it's made legal it can be regulated. We can at least make it safer by screening "licensed" prostitutes to make sure they have no infections, diseases, STDs etc. It might not be a perfect idea but is it better to have an unregulated industry or a regulated one that would be healthier and less dangerous and contribute tax...
Watch you all think I'm crazy

Night Wild.It seems ridiculous to me to make prostitution illegal. Everybody who wants it illegal seems to campaign for it on a basis of enforcing their morality on the whole society. "Society will collapse if prostitution is legalised!" Hm, no, those countries with legal prostitution are actually doing just fine, and tend to have reduced levels of crime, STDs, and exploitation of women.

That's the only thing I ever knew about history in New Zealand the women's rights movement. Do they teach about how amazing Ireland was with women's rights over there?
So you're most likely gonna end up in history after college then?

Axver prostitution will lead to gay marriage being legal! and don't you know that will destroy the world as we know it because if gay marriage is legal no one will want to marry someone of the opposite sex

Nope, Ireland barely registers a mention. When it comes to women's rights in Europe, generally the emphasis is on early achievements in Scandinavia, then the suffragettes in England.
Yeah, well, I'm going to do my PhD in History and pursue a career in academia.
See you, Wild.
It will also make bestiality legal! People will marry dogs and cows and crows! Soon they will cross-breed and humanity as we know it will cease to exist!!!11!1`1

The first female member of parliament in Westminister was an Irish women; who took part in the 1916 Rising but was let off execution because the British were too worried about the type of reaction shooting a woman would get them; so instead they changed the court transcript so that it looked like she plead for life. She also become the first european woman to ever hold a cabinet position in a government
Awesome
We must stop the gays from spreading!

Hah, nice. Maybe the entire revolution should've been undertaken by women then.
And maybe they could be lesbians. We must stop the gays from spreading, but not the lesbians. That's sexxxy. Double standards, oh yeah!

The usual: I hate my father and I'm sick of being treated like I'm worthless.
On the upside, I resisted the urge to cut myself by taking a permanent marker and writing "I DESERVE NOTHING" on my forearm instead.

Hey, Superthread, need a life tip. When handwashing an item of fabric in the sink, should I use cold or hot water?
(I have never needed to handwash anything before, and although my mother told me what to do, this one detail has escaped me.)

Depends, really. If you're trying to get out a stain, or bleaching/soaking it for dinginess, I'd go with cold. If not, warm will be fine, but don't go hot.
Great, thanks. Will see how it goes.
(At least it's nothing valuable to me, so if I somehow fuck it up, I can live with that.)

I agree with Chass you should go for Cold although if you can't stand it warm should be okay
that really sucks Chass
that really sucks ChassNothing like a visit from my mother to get me to do things around the house I should've done ages ago. She really wouldn't care if I didn't do any of this, but I actually WANT the place to look good for her. If it were my father, I'd be in a mad panic trying to get everything perfect to avoid his nasty criticisms.
Ugh, fathers. I know what you mean, Chass. I am seriously about to totally lose it with my father if he doesn't stop doing a couple of things, and I hope to god I don't wuss out this time.

I honestly don't get how people can get married and then divorce so quickly...especially those people who think marriage will fix a relationship...
I think this was a classic case of "sex outsid of marriage is immoral and we want to have sex, ergo let's marry".

you know I think there a reason the catholic church didn't want divorce because things like this would happen...
