That though was back in the 80sand since then there seems to be a much better type of Kiwi around and some of them have become quite good friends.Jim Fryarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780237902858889143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060534295892170518.post-85952621400274628052012-03-17T15:21:07.589+10:002012-03-17T15:21:07.589+10:00Hi, over the years I have met many Maori people he...Hi, over the years I have met many Maori people here in Australia. They have a great nature and just get on with life here. However as for the rest of the Kiwis I have yet to meet one that was not up himself. The reason is most of them who come here have an identity problem. New Zealand (I have been there) is a small country that never has and never will achieve much on a worldwide level. So they seem to have problems coming to grips with the truth. The Pakeha’s (flee on a dogs back) as the Maori term them, love to dish it out to other nationalities, but can never take it when these people retaliate with the truth about them (kiwis). <br /><br />Years ago I worked in Sydney with an Englishman and a white Kiwi. The job we had was out in the open all day and pretty hot. At the end of the day the three of us would go for a beer.<br /><br />This Kiwi called Bud on the way to the pub would continually make remarks about the English, Even I knew many of the remarks were Bull***t however this dumb kiwi kept it up for nearly two weeks. I was thinking when is the English guy going to tell this Kiwi ars**pe what to do with himself. <br /><br />Anyway the English guy (Tony) who though a quiet reserved person had served with Special Forces in the UK, and had gone to university so was reasonably well educated. <br /><br />Well he spat the dummy and let the kiwi guy have it. The kiwi guy just like a dumb sheep seemed to physically shrink. He was dumbstruck at what was said to him. <br /><br />After a while I said, come on guys lets knock it off and go for a beer. The kiwi just walked off in another direction.<br /><br />After that he stayed well clear of the English guy at work and on the way home like the gutless rocket mouth he was. Great for Tony (the English guy) as he know longer had to put up with the dumb kiwis idle prattle.<br /><br />Over the years I have met quite a lot of white Kiwi's, in hindsight one, yes just one was a guy that thought before he opened his mouth, had a great sense of humour and was a great work buddy unlike the rest of his countrymen (Pakeha’s non Maori's) I have met.<br /><br />I personally when it comes to NON Maori kiwis now have and point of view which is "I don't mind, and they don't matter"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060534295892170518.post-45769874916357215402011-04-26T22:42:09.963+10:002011-04-26T22:42:09.963+10:00That sounds like fun to me, actually.

Can I bring my SLR?<br /><br />Montana would be glad to send New Zealand all the wolves (which breed like rabbits) they want to eat the those bunnies, as long as they keep them. When you run out of bunnies you can send in your bunny-huggers to hold hands and sing Kum-By-Ya with the wolves. In a tightly enclosed pen, of course, where they can "become one" with nature.Bawbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194337224433517477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060534295892170518.post-58242341582768105592011-04-26T13:55:52.678+10:002011-04-26T13:55:52.678+10:00Perhaps the New Zealanders should have highlighted...Perhaps the New Zealanders should have highlighted the reduction in carbon emissions resulting from the death of all those rabbits. SAFE would have to get on board with the hunt or risk being the worst thing any group can be, ie., global climate change insensitve. <br /><br />To take it a step further, I'll bet dead rabbits would make high quality carbon offsets the charity could sell. That would be an offset that would do some actual good.Messes With Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617583027354191254noreply@blogger.com
