> [@Budget\_Player\_Cadet](#): > > :smack: > > Look, pal, for most people, New Zealand is on their radar the same way Luxembourg or Papua New Guinea is - nothing particularly interesting going on, not a lot of huge cultural imports, far away from where most of the people on this forum live… We don’t particularly care. If pressed, I’m sure anyone could go on Google and look up some trivia, but just reciting all of that isn’t going to make us care. It’s going to make us bored, and wonder what bug got up your butt. You want to start a discussion on NZ? You might want to relate it to something the average user of this forum (who is likely to be American or European) would care about. I recall having a quite invigorating conversation about the pros and cons of NZ’s health care and social security systems, along with discussions of how they can get away with it and why we seem to be unable to do that elsewhere. But just random trivia? I repeat myself: nobody cares. Why don’t you go eat arse you arrogant prick! I will discuss anything I like when I like, what authority do you have over this forum??! Oh that’s right NONE, if you don’t like the discussion then move on!! Nigger please , we live in paradise , we have half the social problems you have and our cops don’t even carry guns. Yeap I am proud to be from the greatest nation in the world and there ain’t nothing you can do about that! Your so arrogant and foolish!! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-new-zealand-accent/676449)._
