Yet again your ignorance beams through. NZ has an overseas population of 1 million in Australia, Europe, and even (gods only know why), the US. That's nearly 20% of our population who managed to catch boats and planes.
To be replaced by wealthy Asians and Brits. And a German billionaire fugitive from US persecution name of Kim Dotcom.
And let's not forget our US troops at our USAF base at Harewood. Have you begun your Mandarin lessons yet? As for Dotcom, you can keep him.
They will be especially startled by the news that Australia is a "province" of New Zealand. Or maybe not.
Jesus, even their cops dance around like imbeciles. [video=youtube;yivsN18ijjM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yivsN18ijjM[/video]
Well, they're Kiwis so that's a given. Can you imagine NYPD or LAPD acting like those goof balls in New Zealand. Besides our Marines we should send some of our police over there to show them how professionals act.
Our police are professionals so we spend money on training and equipment, not dancing and grunting lessons as your chaps apparently do.
Here's two American teams performing the Haka (Highland U19 vs United U19 prior to US National Championship Game): [video=youtube;L3JH22qks9k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3JH22qks9k[/video] Reminds me of Frankfurters and Hamburgers for some reason.
Here's a comment from the youtube clip: My son is a West Point cadet who taught his plebes to do the Haka last summer during beast barracks for the same reason - it's inspiring. Can't stop something good. They're even doing the Haka in the US forces nowadays!
When I was 17 I was chosen to play in a combined district schoolboys Rugby team against a touring All Blacks schoolboys team. The New Zealanders came out and did a Haka. I had never felt so intimidated in my life. We copped a right royal flogging.
Myself and a Saffer mate always laugh about the Aussie youtube skit: Take your thong off your foot, Slap your arse, slap your arse
Have any New Zealanders been visited by Extraterrestrials lately? Like say on May 1/2012? Just wondering, since NZ students rated no. 4 in top 20 countries, and since NZ is kind of isolated. Anyone have an unexplained 3 pt. equilateral scar from about 25 years ago? Or just recently received a new scar on the left forearm, about 10 cm and running parallel along top of arm, with origin point at a vein?
The NZ government had no intention of handing Kim Dotcom over to the Yanks. It screwed up the legal proceedings deliberately, at minimum knowingly. Still, the US still has the option of a bunch of Navy Seals flying in from OZ on long-range 'copters or summit. Perhaps those marines playing wargames in Hawkes Bay could go "AWOL" for a few hours. Been done before, I'm told.
Thank goodness, that scar has disappeared. For a brief few hours of anxiety, there was some confusion about why an Extraterrestrial would bother taking a sample of DNA and cross section of tissue, from an American. The probable cause, according to AlienWatch, for Aliens to visit, is to investigate some anomalous behavior of a human, in my case, the unusual location of, and peculiar type of dwelling, which is out of place relative to the neighborhood. So I have to wonder, if NZrs, given their peculiar location on earth, and their peculiar types of dwelling, might be equally if not more often visited by Extraterrestrials than Americans are.
We are visited by Americans. That is quite extra-terrestial enough. They come on cruise ships to gawp at our dwellings: (epic paste failure)
Ya, we don't get to see many third world countries much. Don't mind us, we promise to donate too "Feed the Children", when we get back home.
