I think I speak for the rest of the world when I say I'm scared McCain will win. Comments like the one above from Josh trouble me deeply.. I can't believe that people actually think that way... So ignorant.

haha - I worked at Stellar Call Centres as my first office job.. and I'm not surprised they did that. They are complete corporate nazis.

The husband had to lost weight (like 20kg or something) before he immigrated.. and his wife is trying to catch up with him so she can immigrate too. I think it's fair enough - our health system is rubbish enough without further "strain". :P

I think something fairer would have been let her come over, but check up in a year and see what kind of lifestyle she has then and weight loss.. separating her from her husband isn't fair and deserves special consideration given that we need skilled workers.

I saw a couple of obese English tourists walking down the waterfront with their little girl yesterday and automatically assumed they were either on holidays or fresh off the boat because they were so fat and you just don't really see that here..

Either way, we don't want people that are going to be a burden, either on welfare or healthcare - sorry to not tiptoe around your PC ideologies but if you're just going to be a leech, or run the risk of being a leech then you can bugger off.

you'd think they would have got a powerful magnet down there by now to see if they can get anything.. weirdness.

Poor fishy - imagine trying to poop that out. :/

That's not spam.. that's my frickin kneecap!

that would have hurt onthe way out. ahahaha.

touche.

She does look quite other-worldly aye, and kinda like a cute fraggle.

that's awesome.. I can barely fold a decent crane!

umm, whats up with that sculpture of the dog and the pencil?

It looks quite wrong.. Taken on an awkward angle I suppose?

Anyway : cool sculptures.

That design has been around in NZ for ages - some foul tasting drink when you push an effervescent tablet into some sugary cordial.
