Slag, see Message 23497099 I'm sure Google has the guff if we really want to hunt down the laws on carrying knives. In NZ, people aren't allowed to carry weapons. But children can carry baseball bats to a park and their pocket knife. A gang member would be closely questioned if they wandered around carrying a baseball bat with notches in it, to a local bar. A weapon is a weapon if that's the intention of it. At times, I have carried little pocket knives [mostly as a child/youngster, purely as a tool for fishing and whatnot - they are useful frequently]. I prefer to carry as little stuff as possible these days and thing a little pocket knife should be included in a cellphone. QUALCOMM gave out little pocket knives a few years ago at an AGM I think it was, but I have misplaced it now. It'll be in a pocket somewhere. It is really useful. A knife, tweezers, tiny red flashlight, scissors. Maybe 2 inches long. Hassling, attacking, and eating foreigners is as old as chimps and normal in uncivilized people. It's normal in all territorial animals. <In the rural tropics there is often something else at work that very few outsiders understand: The locals want to keep things just a little bit dangerous to keep outsiders from exploiting their paradise. And I don't blame them a bit. > I don't think it's reasoned. Like so much human emotional dross, it's just how we function as animals. Donald Duck comics covered that with a trip to the tropics, and the idyllic life ending with being chucked into the volcano. In Bali it ended with a bombing by Islamic Jihad, who dress their barbarianism up with Islamic Jihad fig leaves. Mqurice
