    It's a terrible tragedy and my heart breaks for the parents. I have a kid the same age and I would be beside myself I lost him in an accident like that.

    But isn't this a little maudlin for Jezebel? #aislingsymes

    This has just stopped the whole nation. I cried when they said they had found her body. Sad thing is, her father looked in that drain, police looked in the drain, but she had gone so far down it, and it was raining that night, that the poor thing had no chance.

    Terrible, terrible tragedy.

    This is terrible. Something similar happened 40 years ago to a child in my family; he was 2 years old, disappeared in the woods behind his house during a snowstorm and his body wasn't found until the spring, when all the snow melted. So. incredibly. sad.

    @NotChoinski: I've just returned Stateside after two years in NZ and, trust me, it's not a plum assignment. Poverty, sky-high crime rate, rampant racism and xenophobia, and 24/7 shitty weather.

    @newjewrevue: Um, ok. What exactly are you basing those findings on? Because although I'm basing my opinion of the States on what I see in the media, you seem to be no better off than us (NZ) in all of the above. (Except the shitty weather, I will give you that)

    ETA: I guess I should respond more seriously. Can you go into more detail about that stuff? I've lived in New Zealand all my life and while I agree that we have problems with poverty, crime and racism, I don't think they're as extreme as you make them sound.

    @newjewrevue: Wow, nice slating of an entire country. I mean, everyone knows the US is crime, poverty, racism and xenophobia-free, right?

    It's all rainbows and sunshine in America, and no one ever takes a gun to their daughter's football match, depicts the president as a monkey, dies of cancer because they can't afford the life-saving drugs they need, or suggests that foreigners should go back over the border where they came from.

    You get a teddy bear on arrival and a big hug every morning and no one is ever sad.

    Well, there's a little ray of light on this dreary Thursday. As progressive as New Zealand is, I don't think an openly gay ambassador would be that much of a problem.

    @CurtCole: not even close to a problem...I think NZ really won't care, given some of our previous MPs (a transvestite, a Rastafarian, at least one openly gay Minister, the list goes on).

    They may even be hoping that this ambassador will help make the NZ-USA relationship more liberal.

    It's really interesting to see a show where the women are way more clothed than the men. Is this a new trend?
