Thanks for answering my question.@NPeteN what Shane wont tell you is tha Kiwis have a strong sense of not-invented-here, especially when it comes to government.
Unless it comes from the UK or AUS, which are special cases.
Also, look up 'tall poppy syndrome'. Another great Kiwi leveler.
Point 1: You know nothing of my ancestry or my family.Hey Shane,
As a Kiwi, what qualifies you to make statements like this? You seem to have a lot of opinions about how the U.S and it's citizens should or shouldn't be doing things.
Not trying to be rude, just curious. Totally cool if you're just a fan of the USA.
Thanks for answering my question.Point 1: You know nothing of my ancestry or my family.
Point 2: America is the beacon of Freedom and of Speech
Point 3: This forum is International
Point 4: I need not justify anything I post to you, given your constant trolling.
Eg: you attack the message creator and the forum member but make no comment on the content of the post.
Then when I put up a Forbes balanced analogy of the creator to counter your conspiracy claims ...you become silent....im not saying thats a bad thing
Your welcome...I two have gained a better understanding of you and others.Thanks for answering my question.
I think I have a better understanding of what makes you tick. Appreciate you.
Looked it up Gort...the Wikipedia definition does not speak well of those practicing said syndrome.@NPeteN what Shane wont tell you is tha Kiwis have a strong sense of not-invented-here, especially when it comes to government.

A lot of us are NOT lazy and uninformed, just outnumbered by various classes of people whose votes negate ours.'but if the people who elected politicians paid attention to what they were doing, instead of being too lazy and self absorbed, they wouldn't elect politicians who ripped them off.'
Seems to be the default position for most of them these days, sadly..
(Politicians, that is)
I will add this: I did not vote for "Orange Man", "Rich man", or "Evil Man", I voted for the more free-speech, constitutional rights, national security from foreign invasion (by ANYONE) candidate. (sadly, congress did not back him up in most cases)A lot of us are NOT lazy and uninformed, just outnumbered by various classes of people whose votes negate ours.
I was responding to (and quoting) post #96, here in the UK the politicians all seem to be cut from the same cloth once elected.A lot of us are NOT lazy and uninformed, just outnumbered by various classes of people whose votes negate ours.
That elected cloth you speak of is not unique to just the UK.I was responding to (and quoting) post #96, here in the UK the politicians all seem to be cut from the same cloth once elected.
Your current "Selected" Prime Minister will steer the UK into exactly the same troubled waters the U.S is currently battling with.UK the politicians all seem to be cut from the same cloth once elected.
I must adhere to the 'no politics' rule here (!!!!!) by remaining totally non committal and bi partisan by stating I have contempt for virtually ALL of our lot, whichever side of the trough they may sit..Your current "Selected" Prime Minister will steer the UK into exactly the same troubled waters the U.S is currently battling with.
