NZ is a real country after all and not some of those kindergartens, with emasculated males. You see how immigration transforms a countries inhabited by a bunch of pussies, who tender sheep, into a country of real men! Look, back home in Brazil I have friends that for 50 bucks they break the arm of even their own mother! Yes, we are immigration country alright! You Canadians, can you please tell me if Canada has improved on that too or is still you, know....

Hi Maurice, <<PS: Jay, I am sorry to have misled you into thinking NZ was a safe escape hatch ... it's not. It's lethal>> Money Rock Hong Kong and Freedom Mountain Kowloon have the highest police per capita ratio in the world, and violent crimes remain confined to where they are most expected to be, not where they must not be allowed to be. Our policemen do not beat suspects and are quite reasonable with traffic tickets, and habeas remain very corpus. Chugs, Jay

Sorry to spoil it for you Mq but Japan just isnt the same safe place it used to be , not even five years ago. Lots of violent crimes now, some truly bizarre and others completly horrible... >>> Japan is very like Britain in many ways. But, it remains as Britain was; culturally homogenous, civilized, safe. People are well-behaved. <<< And one more thing, saying Japan is like Britain is usually perceived as a cultural superiority complex, at least when heard from Japanese people themselves... I have heard the argument countless times, and the person usually tries to make the point that unlike A, B and C we are more civilized since we really have a lot in common with the British. BS in my opinion. Step1
