New Zealand - The right to leave our country

**firefighter** · 8th July 2008, 11:45

YOU have the right to LEAVE!

After Wellington not wanting to offend other cultures
by putting up xmas lights. After hearing that we are
going to let Muslim woman have her picture on her drivers
license with her face covered.

This prompted this editorial written by a New Zealand Citizen.
Published in a newspaper.

Quote:

IMMIGRANTS , NOT NEW ZEALANDERS, MUST ADAPT. TAKE IT OR
LEAVE IT!

I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are
offending some individuals or their culture. I am not against
immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking
a better life by coming to New Zealand. However, there are a
few things that those who have recently come to our country and
apparently some born here, need to understand.

This idea of New Zealand being a multicultural community has
served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity.
As New Zealanders, we have our own culture, our own society, our
own language and our own lifestyle. Our culture has been developed
over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions
of men and women who have sought freedom, even died for it.

We Speak ENGLISH or MAORI , not spanish, lebanese, arabic, chinese,
japanese, russian or any other lanuage. Therefore if you wish to
become part of New Zealand society, -- Learn the language! "In
God we trust "is our national Motto. This is not some Christian,
right wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because
Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this
nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate
to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then
it is recommended that you consider another part of the world as
your new home, Because God is part of our culture.

If the Southern Cross offends you, or you don't like "A FAIR GO",
then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this
planet.
We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and
we really don't care how you did things where you came from.

This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, AND OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will
allow you every oportunity to enjoy all this. But once you
are done complaining, whining, and or griping about Our Flag,
Our Pledge, Our National Motto, or Our Way Of Life, then you
are Highly encourage to take advantage of one other great
New Zealand freedom.

"THE RIGHT TO LEAVE"

LEAVE

If you aren't happy here then f#@* off! We didn't force you
to come here.

YOU asked to be here. So Accept the country YOU accepted.

Pretty easy really,when you think about it...

Bloody Right On!

Couldn't agree more

**Finn** · 8th July 2008, 12:02

I agree. It's a double edge sword as too many New Zealander's (people actually born here) are leaving because of the PC and social engineering bullshit.

No, it's not.

Someone did a search-and-replace to change 'The United States of America' to 'New Zealand'.

Did you read that bullshit before pasting and posting it?

The national character of this country has nothing to do with the chest-beating redneck drivel in that editorial.

You will note how odd this part of the search-and-replace plagiarism sounds.

The Southern Cross is not the Stars and Stripes, and is not used for the sort of masturbatory jingoistic nonsense that the American flag is.

For that matter, the Southern Cross isn't even a flag. It's a fucking constellation, a representation of which is used on both the NZ and Australian flags. And if you don't like it, best you don't move anywhere in the southern hemisphere...

Please tell me that this is a troll, firefighter, and that you're not actually as stupid as you'd have to be to paste it in earnest.

I thought God save the Queen was our motto...

All the bullshit of bending over for other cultures stemmed from the treaty of waitangi anyway. You bend over once, Its easier to do it again, and again, and again.

Political Correctness.
An oxymoron if I ever did hear one...

What was I agreeing on? I didn't read the first post.

It `s happening more and more to western countries...a slow rot that gradually takes over the host country until it`s original identity and customs disappear.

From the ministry of culture & heritage's website(http://www.mch.govt.nz/about/faq.html) :

Does New Zealand have an official colour, flower or motto?

Unlike other countries, New Zealand does not have any official colour, flower or motto. Although there are a number of unofficial symbols such as the Silver Fern and the colour of black as representing New Zealand. The origins of the 'All Blacks' are explained in the 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand. The present New Zealand Coat of Arms is a 1956 revision of the 1911 design. At that time, the motto was changed from 'Onward' to 'New Zealand'.

According to the Encyclopaedia of New Zealand, as early as 1916 the kowhai was suggested as a national emblem; but although this claim has often been revived it has never been widely accepted. The clematis and manuka flowers have also had their advocates, but these have not made much headway against the fern leaf. The tree fern or “silver fern” has also received recognition as New Zealand's official badge, although it does not enjoy statutory protection like the Southern Cross. You can read more about the Silver Fern on Te Ara's website.

However, in principal I agree with the comments - whoever voted for Frankensteins sister Helen and her PC cronies have a lot to answer for!
Seems stupid that it is so difficult for US, UK etc citizens to emigrate here and vice versa yet people from countries like Somalia etc seem to piss in...
I have no problem with people from any country living here, but I would expect them to assimilate, exactly as I would do if I went and lived in their country.
