, as NZ is according to liberal mythology packed to the brim with greenies. The fact that we're really a bunch of educated red necks is somewhat of a culture shock for them.

Hmmm...that's funny, they sound exactly like a bunch of fuccking left-wing American liberals: Heads shoved up their hind end, racist, condescending, arrogantly assuming (emphasis on ASS) priccks

Yep, all the hallmarks of the American liberal.

Guess you're not making any of that up then eh?

there were culture clashes between New Zealand workers used to handling multiple jobs on small-budget films and experienced Hollywood crews used to the structure of a blockbuster project. One of the Americans on the production team was overheard describing the locals as "Mexicans with cell phones". The next day, dozens of local workers arrived on the set with fresh T-shirts bearing the phrase.

To be fair, we do have more than our fair share with greenies though.
And we do get a hell of a lot of nice Americans through as well.

Well, I don't want to argue about global warming. I couldn't change anybody's mind.

Because you have no scientific argument, just an emotional one.

You'll have to put up with sheep jokes though matey, but the upside is you get to sneer at the Ockers

PerryE · 07-30-2007, 23:18 PM

I didn't have any argument at all, dalem. But now I'm curious - what would convince you you're wrong about that?

My bad for starting up again - check any of the recent climate/GW threads in the science section for my answer to that. Sorry.
