As for Gender & sex, I just think there is a lot more fluidity to both camps than is given credit.
Essentialism of male and female, negates the value of either without children and I won't have the door closed on those or other aspects just yet. -
Biology of Religion?
BBC ran a Doco which Dawkins scores low on the temporal lobe test/unable to lose a sense of self (egotist)/hasn't had a brain injury.

That was particularly dark reading. Looking at the study, Table 5 comparing UK Johns with USA Prostitutes. It would have made more sense to me to have polled both in the same context.
I think trafficking must be a bigger issue in the UK due to the EU and so the isolation power imbalance etc a larger issue.
That said, what would I know, in a recent trial child rape was done as a coersive technique to get her into prostitution.

But what has been lost is your ability (right) to have a picnic on your soon to be beautiful waterfront, unless you pay for the pleasure.
What needs to be policed, in and outside of licensed areas is the level of intoxication and the anti-social behaviour. -
According to Charter 08 NZ is on shaky ground.
We're not a Republic & have no Constitution, Equality looks a bit iffy with the Foreshore and Seabed. The whole insertion of Freedom and that you're not civilised with out it raises questions, not to mention American hypocracies (Civil Rights & McCarthy). -
Duties of a good host.
My Great Grand Parents were teetotal but by Dads account had the best selection of top-shelf you could wish for, just because they didn't, didn't mean you couldn't. -

Customs used to throw the best Christams parties back in the day too! -
Ah yes the alcohol ban areas.
The head cop (I do lose track of them) a yr or so ago, claimed to be policing a "broken windows" policy.
I would be happy with that, could be a real tool for urban renewal and rental housing standards.
He later contradicted himself (must be sizing up to be a Politican).
But this is discharging a liquid into a stormwater or onto land and requires a Resource Consent.
Just do a quick calculation of say 4 boy racer cars stopped to check WOFs and found with alcohol in the car (this constitutes an illegal search). There are 3 yoffs with 1Doz each of DB or JD poppiss. They're then told to pour it all out. This is all illegal but the community law centre is full of these reports.
Approx 50L of alcohol into one stormwater drain and then into the Avon. -
Pop +10m into the calulator and the Americas change a bit.
http://flood.firetree.net/The Rep. of California is the only land boarder to Baja Cali. Mx and so asserts soverignty over it.
This is done in part as a reaction to the loss of the San Diego Naval base and connection and control of Hawaii.Hawaiian Rep is reinstated and joins in Union with Pasifika (PNG, NZ, Australia and surviving Pacific Islands such as Fiji & Samoa).
The Rep. of Texas and the Gulf of Mexico States are in full retreat from the sea and in search for land go into Mexico.
China has lost Shanghai to the sea and with pressures of population and industry, liberates North Korea from another cycle of starvation.
UAE is absorbed into the Nuclear state of Saudi Arabia.
