Let me just be the first, BON VOYAGE!
-In a satirical column in The Bulletin magazine, Tim Blair wrote: "The malaise among this bunch is so profound, many are threatening in various online forums to leave Australia for New Zealand, which is as close as you can get to committing suicide while still registering a pulse."-
Lots of good things about NZ but the overriding bad is isolation. It is Canada without the ability to cross the southern border to enjoy a free society.
They once were a plum but are slowly shriveling into a prune. Soon there will be nothing but pit.
Why don't they just leave already & quit moaning about it! Also, anyone leaving over protest to our president, should have their citizenship revoked!
It will break the hearts when they find out there is no such thing as Hobbits.
;-)
the = their
NZ will get sick of Americans among their midst. You know what happens when yuppie dogooders move in. Look at Vt. and NH.
I can only wish them, and any Americans that go to permanently live in New Zealand well.
Relations began to break down after Carol Mosely-Braun was named ambassador..
Promises, promises...
You may think so now, but wait until you get a whole bunch of them over there, protesting and demanding gay rights, increased taxes and more "justice" and social welfare.
Children threatening to run away from home to get attention. Grow up, lefties, or leave. Just stop your whining, already!
"Murphy said many calls were coming from doctors, nurses, teachers and IT professionals, and from locations across the country"
I wonder what kind of doctors they are, abortionists?
I can only wish them, and any Americans that go to permanently live in New Zealand well.
yeah, for most of them, it will be permanent. I know of a friend of a friend that moved there after college -- his wages have been so low for so long that basically, he can't afford to move back to the U.S.
Bon Voyage!
And they have to renounce their American citizenship too. None of this "dual citizen" crap.
Door, Butt, don't want to hear a wap!
But ... but ... don't they have a $20 per hour minimum wage? Arent the streets paved with socialism? Don't they all live in government housing in peace and serenity, without any crime?
Bon Voyage is right! ;)
Sorry man.
Yep. Me too one of my friends in grad school was from NZ ..his salary was ridiculously low when he went back and he had a Phd in Entomology.
,,, that's OK. We've got a labour shortage here presently and so many mosques waiting to be built. We'll keep them busy.
