hehe... you said yourself I was corny :)

Playdoh is a clay that mommies and daddies buy for their kids; different colors; make clay shapes and scrunch them all back into a ball and store in the sealed container... or leave the lid of an it dries out... invariably.

So what, you don't have plato (I mean playdoh) in your country?

bassrider " New Zealand is fucking Banging.
I can go snowboarding, wakeboarding and surfing all in one day.
Cheapest cars in the world, (ex Japan), mean roads to drive your bad ass car on.

Bad:
American Republican Ebay sellers won't ship here. Wake up hicks"

Awwwwwww, "American Republican Ebay" sellers won't ship to you. Why don't you make them? You know, you can jump in your cheap car, drive to the ocean, surf on over to the U.S. and show those hicks your New Zealand style. Show them how people in New Zealand get down! "banging". Now i know you didnt make that saying up. Yeah thats too American urban. Snowboarding? Started in Michigan. Wakeboarding? Invented in California. Surfing? Well gee, i wonder where that sport came about. Mabey from New Zealand? LOL! What i love about the country i live in, is that everyone hates us. Yet as much as they bitch, whine, moan, and copy us, when something bad happens who are they going to look to for help? Now that i got that out of my system, what i REALLY love about this country is the size of it. The diversity of our people is great too. I love the fact that we are a nation of inventors. And the fact that we have actually contributed to history. No one will EVER forget us. I love being a part of what i consider the civilized world (USA, Canada, Australia, the U.K and others). I love the fact that we arent all bark, we will bite if you piss us off. What i don't like is that i worry about what they will actually remember about us. We ARE a warlike people. We arent scared of the world and sometimes we make mistakes because of that. I hate the fact that Bush actually WON the election...now i have to keep listening to people online call us hicks. There are hicks here but it's a massive country and i take offense at being called a hick. I don't like that fact that a city will spend hundreds of millions of dollers to build a new sports stadium, when they just built a perfectly good one 10 years prior. And that in that same city people live in areas filled with gangs, poor schools, and drug addicts. I hate that we will show someone on TV get their head shot off but if a woman shows a nipple its the end of the F%$#ing world. I'd rather my daughter see a perfectly natural human body then someone get murdered. I despise Walmart. I hate the fact that my cousin signed up in the military for money to survive and ended up in Iraq fighting until part of his hand was shot off. I can go on and on about things i don't like. It's easier to think of negative things then positive ones sometimes. I'm sorry if i offended anyone from New Zealand but i get tired of these kids insulting my country. I'm sure you would feel the same way. I have total respect for New Zealand. And all the citizens of your wonderful country.

Bush & Blair? Are you serious? They are the 2 most dangerous people on the planet. I'm a Brit & was once proud of our country. Our PM is a poodle, who likes to be shafted by an illiterate cross eyed pigmy, bible bashing asshole.

i agree with pulsar about bush & blair & I AM CANADIAN & proud of it. 1st gulf war everybody went in with un support. 2nd gulf war had no un support at all or arab support like 1st war so it is in fact an illegal invasion of another country with minority support compared to majority support in 1st war.

hey hick, have you lived in NZ?
I have lived in the USA for 6 months, i certainly wouldnt want to live there agian. There's no soul there. And things like FOX news? How many other countries have a Republican (or party)News station? Greastest democracy in the world? With only two parties who are almost the same? Hahaha. Everyone bags USA coz its a joke. I am sure there are some good people in USA but to a lot of americans there are 2 countries in the world, America, and 'the rest of the world'. (USA call anyone who wins a domestic competition world champions hahahahaha)

My brother lives in Christchurch, NZ, before that Auckland. He loves the country, but he likens it to 60s Britain, worker/management attitude. I love my country, but I have a very healthy disrespect for anyone who seeks power over others, like magistrates, traffic wardens, special constables, especially politicians. SELF, SELF, SELF!!!!!!!! That is all I hear from these people.
I used to be a manager in the Engineering industry. I had my men wrapped around my little finger. How? I respected them. It really is that simple!

Hey assrider. Why would you trash the USA, or any other country, for that matter? If you don't like a country, stay the fuck out of it!

Wondering if I can say that, without getting kaboomed. :)

Life is good!

bassrider-" hey hick, have you lived in NZ?".

Umm no i have not. Why would I?

bassrider-"There's no soul there".

No "soul" huh? Damn, dude, for someone who hates us so much you sure do copy our sayings and sports a lot.

bassrider-"Everyone bags USA coz its a joke".

I bet you didn't say that while you were here. LOL. I picture you as being all quiet and humble. You know what? I'm done with this whole conversation, guy. If you want to talk crap about a whole country you go right on ahead. I'll say what i've ever seen of NZ (on the television) it looks like a beautiful country. Very nice countryside. Other then that i don't really hear much about it. Anyway, you're the champ, have a nice life. Bye.

There's alot of sheep in New Zealand! Actually 40 million sheep, 10 million cows and 1.5 million deer.

That compares well to the population of 4.1 Million people - that is 10 sheep, 2 cows and half a deer each.

Won't get hungry then.

Well its taken 30 years, we use to give "Wedgies" also known as "Melvins" - though I don't know why - 30 years ago when I was at school.
