Default Is cannabis on the menu

Ah the New Zealand section one of my favorite locations however on surfing the internet regarding latest data regarding climatology around the Australia and New Zealand location i came upon facts about New Zealand just by chance really however after reading i thought i would share for an opinion.? (1) The N.Z courts banned a couple from naming their child 4real in the end they named him superman
(2) In N.Z a man broke into a radio station taking the manager hostage demanding they play the Muppet song
(3) N.Z has one of the Worlds highest usages of cannabis.I wonder if these three facts are correlated.?

Um....No

But if they had everyone in Parliament compulsory consuming cannabis. Then I am sure we would have subsidised pizza delivery, the worlds longest slide (from the top of Mt Cook) and the worlds biggest water balloon launcher capable of hitting a target in Sydney (watch out Tim, sitting on your balcony overlooking the Opera House and your smug Instagram pics).

Well N.Z might not have subsidized pizza but per population it is second only to the U.S for McDonald's shops

Probably because McDonalds are a real estate company and New Zealand has been a huge one way bet on property.

How did we get from cannabis to McDonalds? Are McCafe 'going Dutch?'

That`s the nature of some threads to twist and turn until they fade and die.

Sounds like an uber cool place. I guess I am very lucky I live in such a place eh? Would like to see cannabis decriminalised so all good there, love The Muppets and as for Superman? Nah, I would have gone for 'Dan Dare'. a bit more retro and I wear his tee shirt with great pride.

Do you like McDonalds? I don't and I just avoid them. There are about 8 food outlets of this ilk in my town, but I don't think they make day to day life any worse.

You seem to be researching lots about this little backwater. Are you planning a trip or possible permanent relocation here? Not sure why else you would do such strange research.

Other than try to wind others up? Which one is it?
