[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8086178, member: 22779"] Just to nitpick - you don't get vaccinations for Tetanus or Rabies unless you have a specific reason for getting them. It's not a general vaccination. At least, I know Rabies isn't. Tetanus isn't in Canada. (I know, because I needed tetanus shots after an accident. Thankfully didn't need rabies shots. Yikes those are brutal). And, on the point about Bills of Rights and things like that, I imagine New Zealand is similar to Canada in that our Bill of Rights (Charter of Rights in Canada) is based on British Common Law (IIRC - that's the right term. Damn, it's been a long time since I studied this) which means that your rights are kind of inverse to how they are elucidated in the States. IOW, in Canada (and I imagine NZ is the same) you have the right to do whatever the hell you want, except what the Charter says you can't do. So, we automatically have the right to bear arms, for example, even though that will never be specified in our Charter. Our Charter has nothing to say about what rights you have, just what limitations there are on them. It's a different approach and it makes comparisons between countries a bit difficult. [/QUOTE]
