What's wrong & what's right with NZ?

**Molly** · 4th August 2009, 19:08

We all come on here and gripe from time to time (got to vent somewhere) so how about we balance something that's wrong with NZ with something that's right?

Wrong: Children having access to powerful cars and spray paint (OK, that's two things but they f'k' me off).

Right: Getting your bike out on those empty roads and out into the hills and scenery, and just the sense that you can do your own thing without too much governmental interference in every f'kin' facet of your life (can you tell I came here from the UK?).

Wrong: Doing a burnout is a more serious offence (usually) than assaulting someone or stealing, and that pot is illegal.

Right: You tell me mate.

Wrong: Too many fuckin pommy immigrants.

I agree, if you bitch and moan about everything and anything, your very sad life will eventually eat you up.

My missus is a pommy cardiac nurse. You wouldn't be complaining about that that immigrant if she was saving your life. I'm just an IT teacher so you can take or leave me. I couldn't give a shit.

Right: I find it a fantastic place for all the right reasons, except:

Wrong: the fricken windy weather in Wellington.

Wrong...Imigration policies and racism

Right...Its NZ

There are so many good things about NZ, it is truly surprising.

The things that are wrong could be fixed with the right approach from the authorities and a unified approach from the populace.
Chances of that happening...

The little that is wrong is not worth not wasting the energy and not enjoying the good
