NZ bashing.

I stumbled upon this website and it has given me a lot of pleasure simply by reading the forum and nodding at every other sentence about NZ. I declare today is NZ Bashing Day. The comments below aren't mine. I lifted them off the forum but I agree with each and every point and got hell of a laugh from reading them.

To all the Kiwis out there, who somehow or rather by some weird cosmic miracle, are reading this (highly unlikely as I haven't made any Kiwi friends since moving here. Can't decide whether this is fortunate or not) - Apologies but the following is all true!

Here goes:

Don't move to New Zealand if you...

#1. are not an expert in 1940's technology and you're totally unwilling to learn the latest 1950's technology.

#2. are prone to depression because you'll learn what REAL depression is after moving here.

#3. are assessed as having an IQ of over 100. If you do have excess brain matter, that will be removed at immigration along with your cash, your first world skills, ambition and any hope that you may have had for the future. Foreign matter is not permitted into the country under any circumstances.

#4. are not anglo-saxon. The country is very good at moulding your children to grow up accepting their existence as second-class citizens.

#5. have the opportunity to live anywhere (ANYWHERE) other than New Zealand. Even if home is hell, it is still home. Why move to a geographically prettier hell and have to struggle to make it home?

I'm so tickled. Aren't you? *manic chuckle*
