Yes, it is despicable and a sign of the total depravity of Europe. In spite of the repressive government of New Zealand, Briony-Gloriana, it probably is a better place than Europe and North America right now.
Huh??........ the repressive government of New Zealand ...
....oh, I have never noticed my repression....
You are quite nice but let's start by talking about your high crime rate and your inability to have a loaded gun ready to defend your life against criminals.
We will NEVER agree on the subject of guns....but I prefer to live in a country where it is UNLIKELY for a screwball to shoot up the place of employment, or the kids in school.
In NZ you are more likely to be killed by drunken louts behind a car wheel I certainly don't take a higher moral ground, because NOWHERE is perfect, but your gun laws are insane.
It is "unlikely" that will happen in the U.S., either. You seem to think these are a daily occurrence in the U.S. Ridiculous.We will NEVER agree on the subject of guns....but I prefer to live in a country where it is UNLIKELY for a screwball to shoot up the place of employment, or the kids in school.
Your drunk-driving deaths are two points higher per 100,000 than in the U.S., and you have stricter drunk-driving laws. So there seems to be an issue with your perception, probably because of a liberal news media.In NZ you are more likely to be killed by drunken louts behind a car wheel I certainly don't take a higher moral ground, because NOWHERE is perfect, but your gun laws are insane.
In 2011, over 1100 people were euthanized in Belgium. Reportedly, most of the victims were terminal cancer patients. In comparison, the United States has executed only 1277 people since 1976 and in 2011, they executed only 43. So, in only one year Belgium has executed nearly as many people as the entire list of those condemned for various heinous offences in the United States in a period spanning 35 years.
