Don't understand what that has to do with the gang rape that took place ?

Must admit your slippery
Your right, this is an horrific crime and if you were to picture it being your wife, daughter, sister the anger would swell. Have they ever had the death penalty in NZ?

That is your opinion right ? I have lived in both countries - you in neither.

You going to argue that and offer me another website link ? Or based on some more stats ? I can give you a PowerPoint on Jo’burg if you like, you got a strong stomach?

Tell you what mate, take a drive down into South Auckland any day or night of the week. Then tell me your point

Please learn to use the "quote" function correctly. All you need to do is press the "QUOTE" button in the post you want to quote.

And my comment is because of the doom-and-gloom people (take a look in the mirror Lexy) who spend way too much time obsessing about how crime has the audacity to happen in NZ. Like we're all too thick to know it...

It's the million dollar question. You'll never prove one way or the other, as nobody knows how much crime goes un-reported. But you could say i have an informed opinion. But is it not save to say that it a country with a greater volume of crime, there must be a greater volume of unreported crime.

Well that’s one way of looking at it.

I guess your point makes gang rape acceptable, is that what you are saying ?

A bit like the person from the NZ tourist board that commented on the assault on the German tourist as stating figures and stats and blah blah blah whilst the people are saying is that your response, it’s okay because ………..

Scary

thank you maz but I do know how to use the quote function and if you look at my message you will see it has been edited as I had posted a reply forgetting to add your quote in, so I quickly added it in. SOOORRRRY.
Ah, don't lose any sleep over it Maz, its really not that important, this is just a sharing of opinion and a bit of chat

oh and I am not obsessed. Bored at work maybe but not obsessed.

Not in the slightest. Kindly don't try to insinuate that's how I feel, either. Go and try and force your assumptions on someone else.

Oh, and please do tell me all about all the crime that happens in NZ as I'm too damn thick to read the online news for myself.

no and its not save to say that the country with the less reported crime has the higher volume of unreported crime.....
and yes you do have an informed opinion so thank for sharing that . The facts still remain the same, there is crime everywhere! even in my town, you should see what some people wear..... that is a real crime against fashion and decency.....

Maybe and we all know you know you are correct. BUT when making substanial claims on here do you not think it would be best to provide some sort of evidence to back them up.

So people can't accuse you of scare mongering

Some of the claims on this thread have been nothing short of racist (not by you mind). thats why facts are useful seperate the truthfrom slander.

Also I think your ego is telling you that I am commiting some sort of personal attack on you, where as I a not. However personal you make it about me.

Okay, so go and post on the tra la la happy NZ posts. You don’t have to have to post here, there are options.

What’s with the look in the mirror thing?

How are you getting your fact on NZ if you live in the States, from BE forum ?

What you want to discus Maz? I know the availability of British sausages in NZ that will really be a great topic of depth. Or the comparison of soap powders and chocolates to British one. How the NZ chip compares to the Brit chip

Nope, you haven't quite got that, the country with the greater volume of crime i.e UK has the greater volume of unreported crime.
that the country with the less reported crime has the higher volume of unreported crime
is not what i said
