I wouldn't say we had a very low murder rate but back in the fifties there were only about two or three a year. We have 12 per million. Quote from (newzeelend.wordpress.com) "Killing rate in New Zealand is twice that of Australia’s,and 4 times that of Japan and Britain’s." Yhanks for that Mike, 12V must be suffering input lag, like most liberals!...LOL	SolMiester (139)
1111303	2010-06-22 05:50:00	Can the quote source above be relied upon? :( :( It also claims "The hundreds of motorcyclists and drivers killed in police chases are not included in this report." - a quote that I challenged previously in this thread. If the second quote is highly dubious, what credence can be given to any of the others?	Zippity (58)

From that link there are other links that you may find more trust worthy as I have said before but it still doesn't change the fact that we are a lot more violent than back pre 70's.	mikebartnz (21)

My theory is keep your head down and you should be right by following some rules Dont **** with another mans wife Dont get lippy to you know who at bars or if they been drinking you are gone burger Dont get involved in drug trade Dont work in a 24 hr service station, bank dairy or liquor store. Dont drive a taxi unless you have knife under the seat and be trained how to use it Start running if someone is getting angry because the breakfast menu at Mackers has finished for the day. Be careful if your wife wants you to walk near a cliff or wants to climb Lion Rock. Very sound advice - and don't walk down any a dark alley in the early hours of the morning	Metal Head (15597)

Now is the best time ever for children to grow up - they are safer and have more freedom than any time in the past. Freedom has its down side but personally I'd rather be free than under the control of communists or facists or whatever other philosophy you're promoting this week.	Twelvevolts (5457)

New Zealand young men went overseas and many got killed - sorry to bring you up to date on that. So what is your theory for this supposed peaceful time in the 1950's then. You see no link between the two?	Twelvevolts (5457)

You see no link between the two? The second world war occurred late thirties early forties not the fifties but I think it is better if I just ignore you.	mikebartnz (21)
1111310	2010-06-22 10:32:00	The second world war occurred late thirties early forties not the fifties but I think it is better if I just ignore you. It appears you can't see the connection - war ended in 1945 by the way and there were around 12000 New Zealand deaths. What impact do you think that might have had on the 1950's with a population of about 1.6 million? If you don't think there is a link, what do you attribute this peaceful time in the 1950's to?
