I thought they spoke English in NZ.
That’s such a nice weasel like answer…glad you backed off with the qualifier, and basically admit you were full of shit in your statement by back pedaling. As for living under a rock or in your mom’s basement, far be it for me to judge.
Go teach your grandma to suck eggs, white boy.
I for one largely agree with the OP.
Nitpicking aside about whether groups like al Qaeda are 1) actually terrorists properly speaking, or something else; and 2) actually meaningfully separable from their funders and supporters in the USA.
Hmm… I think less “New Zealand” and more “3rd-generation Chav”.
Blow me, knucklehead.
I sometimes agree with you Der Trihs, but not on this one. Canada is a wonderful country too, but somehow complete strangers in the US are typically more open and friendly than here. Maybe it’s due to the fact that we spend more time hibernating indoors, but I’ve visited maybe a third of the 50 states and have had nothing but good experiences.
And yeah, I’m white and you’d never know I was a foreigner unless you picked up on the ubiquitous “eh” or asked me to pronounce “house” or “pasta” or “Montreal” for example. So maybe I have a bit of honky bias going for me.
New Zealand is Australia’s hat? 
Give him a break on “realise.” It’s the preferred spelling in British Commonwealth countries. “Realize” is the preferred spelling in the U.S.A., but both ways are correct. It’s like colour/color, centre/center, or cheque/check.
In all fairness, they wouldn’t *need *to.
Hmmm… I do believe Americans are kinda dumb. Their gun, fast food and greed addictions don’t paint a pretty or egalitarian picture. Letting their economy and space endeavours kowtow to China has been quite embarrassing, too.
But, irrespective of all the nation’s foibles, I much rather the U.S. remain as the world’s [lone] superpower; in lieu of, say, the Ruskies or Chinese. I like my human rights and am willing to compromise to uphold them.
I’ve been busy, ok?
(bolding and underline added for my personal amusement)
A-hem… It appears that ElvisL1ves mentioned AUSTRIA not Australia.
Keep Calm
and
Carry On
The OP has convinced me, yessiree. I ain’t gonna bomb no one no more.
Is it school break now in New Zealand?
Just off the east coast of Sydney.
if you plan on taking out NZ, you may want to drop something on Sydney as well. Half the Kiwi population is there.
I think it’s something else entirely. I got married in New Zealand (I don’t hold that against them) and discovered three gross violations of, I dunno, public decency.

[li]They put beets on their hamburgers. Hell, they put beets on everything shudder[/li][li]Twice, TWICE, I was served pizza with sweet relish as a topping. With no warning whatsoever.[/li][li]I ate at a place that claimed to have authentic Mexican food. I think it was cooked using only pictures as a guide. The colors were all correct, but dear lord, not the flavors. Not the flavors. And see #1 about the beets again.[/li][/ol]
I’d be irritable if I lived there too.
beetroot on Burgers is way more civilised than those fucking pickle slices (shudder)
As I point out from time to time, “realize” is the British spelling for the classically educated, and this was a plot point in an episode of Morse - because the Inspector noted that someone who was really an Oxford don would never have spelled it “realise”.
Um, yes - and Austria is famous for its pastry.
“Austrian cakes and pastries are a well-known feature of its cuisine. Perhaps the most famous is the Sachertorte, a chocolate cake with apricot jam filling, traditionally eaten with whipped cream. Among the cakes with the longest tradition is the Linzer torte. Other favourites include the caramel-flavoured Dobostorte and the delicately layered Esterhazy Torte, named in honor of Prince Esterházy (both originating from Hungary during the Austro-Hungarian empire), as well as a number of cakes made with fresh fruit and cream. Punschkrapfen is a classical Austrian pastry, a cake filled with cake crumbs, nougat chocolate, apricot jam and then soaked with rum.”
If you’re suggesting Australia has better pastry there’s gonna be a horde of pissed-off Viennese in here any second now. :eek:
Guess, he’s referring to this
Particularly look at Luxembourg population 537.853 giving $0.43billion vs USA 317.281.000 $30.46billion.
If Luxembourg would have the same population as the USA, they would give $253billion.
This basically shows, that the teeming millions of the USA give a lot, but the individual not so much as other places.
However, it’s still better than Greece; those are some seriously stingy buggers :eek:
Der Trihs lives there, that’s enough hate as a billion normal people.
But that only shows governmental giving, not charitable donations by individuals. Just because the Luxembourg government is giving away tax money doesn’t necessarily make the populace charitable.
It also explains the Greeks, busy using tax dollars to not lose their country to a Russian oil magnate or something…
