Would much rather let people in who are willing to risk their lives to be a part of this country, rather than bludging kiwis or rich south african pricks who left because they didn't like having to share a working environment with blacks.
This is bigotry! Shame on you chops! :
Black police took over three hours to arrive and were jovially drunk!
Needless to say, charges were never laid against the black perpetrators.
As a New Zealander I find that offensive..
I was purely fighting fire with fire when it comes to rubbish stereotypes of foreigners, to see if the white connection would elicit a completely different response to that of the racial stereotype for muslims and arabs.As a New Zealander I find that offensive.
If you were to check some facts, you would find that New Zealanders can only obtain unemployment benefits if they are permanent residents of Australia. Such unemployment benefits are then reimbursed by New Zealand via the N.Z./Australia Reciprocal Agreement.
Exactly.And this is not ?

If that is so, why not simply express that hypothesis without the gratuitous and inappropriate unpleasantness, e.g. "bludging Kiwis", "rich South African pricks"?
Otherwise I wouldn't have got the reaction I wanted to make the point.
I've used it for many many years now as a tactic to point out people's hypocracy and it has worked again.
thos thread seems to have left behind its original subject maybe its proponents lost and decided that Rudd is a ok
Nope. Because I don't hold the belief behind the view I was expressing.Does that make you a "hypocritical hypocrite".
just watched Rudd's speece in response to market turmoil. The more he speaks the more he loses his credibility, I've never seen a more embarassing politician in my life. A very hollow speech which delivered no confidence.

I think that those of you who don't want to believe in him, see things differently than those of us that are pleased the way he is performing. None so blind as those that will not see.
I'll admit to many things, one is that I'm often wrong. However in judging Rudd I do it by looking at what the opposition parties could have done or could do better than Rudd during this immediate problem. I suggest he is handling things better than the other party would or could. ----Instead of just knocking please suggest a better alternative, I may even change back to being a National party vote.I'm glad to see you at least admit you are blind to his total inadequacy for the job.

I don't think that's entirely fair, Nioka.I think that those of you who don't want to believe in him, see things differently than those of us that are pleased the way he is performing. None so blind as those that will not see.
