You told us people going to NZ are the bottom of the barrel of their countries! They are ignorant and for them, ANYTHING is better than their country of origin.

<<One probably doesn't have to wear a crash helmet on a bicycle. We are a bunch of Mummy's boys here, with Nanny state telling us how to run our lives in every detail. Everything is forbidden.>> I am curious Maurice, tell us about your health care system. Who would support the maimed and paraplegic for the rest of their lives resulting from not using seat belts, drunken driving, and riding bicycles and motorcycles without mellon protection. If, you must pay out of your own pocket, or for private insurance, to repair the lifelong damage, then "it is," a Nanny state. If the state and taxes, looks after all lifetime costs from foolishness or accident,then they have the right to dictate. In America these types of laws are less restrictive,for if you bash in your mellon not wearing a helmet, you risk losing everything you have worked for, if uninsured. In Canada we have a public health care system supported by taxes and the state, so we have laws on seat belt use,helmet laws..4 wheeler, motorcycle, bicycle,safe driving courses for young people,boater exams and restrictions for young people, gun laws by the dozen, on and on, largely i believe to ease costs to the health care system.Many situations come down toWHO PAYS?
