Mass gross insult to the President's envoy!

[John Hill]

"I've been in motorcades for a couple of years now ... I've never seen so many people flip the bird at an American motorcade as I saw today," Harris said.

I hereby apologise on behalf of my fellow countrymen for this gross disrespect and I am firm in my opinion that a man of his status should have been saluted with a mass whakapohane.

Not being of the Kiwi persuasion I had to look that up. For others stumped by the word it means mooning.

[Cacophonix]

I am surprised that a member of the New Zealand chapter of the Vulgarians RFC didn't take a dump on top of his car or even on his head from a highway bridge as he went past.

Nobody ever accused Kiwis of being classy.

I hope you will "civilly express your take on issues" without generalisations in future.

Bravo New Zealand, I can honestly say, the warmth and welcome of the Kiwis is outstanding, I've experienced it first hand.
Conversely I reckon most of them know an arsehole when they see one and aren't afraid to let it be known.

[Cacophonix]

mass whakapohane

Or that they weren't afraid to show their arseholes to a well known arsehole!

Bravo New Zealand! One of the more civilised countries on God's good earth, with or without its trousers down!

Bloody good rugby players too but that's another subject!

Even when it walks amongst them!

Why should I be held to a different standard? My mild reprobation pales in comparison to the puerile scatological comments my counterparts employ.

[Cacophonix]

puerile scatological comments my counterparts employ.

Your pious demeanour and sense of wounded virtue is wonderful to behold Ben!

Worthy of an Oscar. I salute you.

Don't break you heart over all this stuff, tis mostly in the anarchic spirit of puerility!

Cue Frank Zappa...

The request to "civilly express your take on issues" are your own words taken from your post #1424 in the US Hamster Wheel thread.
I don't like it when my countrymen are disparaged in a generalisation.

[BenThere]

Neither do I. Fair point. I'm sorry and apologize.

[Karearea]

Thank you

[obgraham]

Does this mean that hereafter disparaging references to any country's people will not be tolerated here?

Fantastic! I give it 48 hours, max!

[BenThere]

No, Obgraham. We have John Hill, Cacophonix, boac, and Bob and maybe Chuks, (who I'm worried about in his absence, hoping he wasn't in the wrong place during a Muslim attack), who ensure that won't happen.

But we're better! And right!

[Cacophonix]

No, Obgraham. We have John Hill, Cacophonix, boac, and Bob and maybe Chuks, who ensure that won't happen.

I wouldn't worry about chuks he is just lolling in some bawdy house or saloon enjoying sipping liquor. The call has gone out to down the Rio Grande and some of the biggest cut throats, knife fighters and all round darned womanisers, gamblers and drinkers that have ever walked this dry gulch country are harkened to our cause. The magnificent seven will ride again!

Ben your team is only two. You have the bad and the ugly but who will be your good? You have a good theme though I will grant you.

Caco, GB&U is the finest western ever made.

When Clint rode off with all the gold, that simply proves that honesty and righteousness will always win out.
We're throwing in with him.

[Bob]

Oh dear, not you too OB.

[BenThere]

Ben your team is only two

As I see it, two of us is worth at least five of you, especially as we are armed with intellect, logic, results and power. Therefore, you are dangerously outnumbered.

Your tools are mass media support, unhinged celebrities, creative hatefulness, indoctrinated schoolchildren and their indoctrinated teachers, and repeated factual setbacks. Also, you ultimately ruin the people you think you're helping. I'll stick to my side as I'm quite confident you are fighting a losing battle, and for a losing cause.

Despite what's thought of Tillerson he's just a bloody envoy in this particular event FFS. I can sorta understand Kiwis (they're a weird lot politically anyway) showing their arses to Trump and certain others, but envoys? C'mon...
