From the BBC:Why New Zealand is a lifestyle superpower"Lifestyle superpower" is something I've run across several times this week and it's fast becoming in need of some bud-nipping. Not only is it patronising and condescending, but it paints a picture of a beautiful interwar Paris filled with charming little cafes and the Champ Elysee lined with shade trees so the Germans won't have to march in the sun.
Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
Why is the lady in black applauding?
