The hurricanes still have a chance. They did well to beat the brumbies at home. I go for all the NZ teams really.

considering my new residence in australia, i go for any team playing against an aussie one... whether it be NZ, SA, England or Japan!!
It was a good cricket season to move to australia this year, hopefully the all blacks can do better and win every game against the aussies this year.

Yeah, me too!That would be awesome. It seems like ever since I moved to NY(in 99) the All Blacks have done badly.

No, the ones in Curtin where the detainees literally knock themselves out under the mistaken impression that someone actually cares, and then are put back in solitary.

... well he didn't say whether he approved of this treatment (benefit of the doubt).
I still don't think its up there with RMs "don't give food to starving africans, cause all you're doing is prolonging their suffering" comment.
On that, do you think the RM will one day run for office and have some of his posts here coming back to haunt him?

Speaking of Kiwis, my next door neighbour is originally from Auckland. With her husband she just returned from visiting family back in NZ and told me that she has decided to become an Australian citizen - I asked whether her husband was doing the same and she said "no he preferred to remain a Queenslander."

Any of you guys in Queenstown? I miss that place, the bars, the luge (where I left most of my right thigh), the pizzahut...

Thank you scorch. I love you too, and want to have your children.
BTW, he is. I got a postcard from Gehenna last week, and we take tea every few months.
andy,
, reinforces everything I have been arguing about the banana-benders coming from another country. And I find it incredibly difficult to be hostile to our Kiwi neighbours on our shared day. So

f*ck this whole ANZAC thing is bullsh*t.
Its like 'wahooo! we managed to kill a bunch of Aussies and Kiwis coz we landed them on the wrong beach, lets remember that every year, and lets say that is 'heroic' and 'glorious' to be slaughtered like that.
War Sucks.

Yeah, it must be so hard for them in detention... they even have computers for chrissakes!
All that needs to be done is to quicken the processing.... either let 'em in or send 'em packing..... just bloody get on with it!!

Scorch, do you always have to behave like a syphillitic chancre that has really let itself go?
You casually insult the memory of thousands of young men, some no older than you, who fought bravely and died in order for you to swan about to punk concerts and insult all and sundry. Your freedom was bought with their blood and their sacrifice.
ANZAC Day is not about glorifying war, it is about glorifying the sacrifice of the soldiers who perished at war. It is a day where all veterans are recognised, remembered and appreciated. Do you really wish to insult every single one of them just because you sit back in your foolish little comfort and grandoisely proclaim "War sucks."
It is not a day celebrated by those responsible for the campaign, as you would portray it; it is one where we we remember and celebrate the sacrifice of all those who have fought in wars to keep us free. We don't debate the whys and what-fors of the campaign; we think of the individual men and boys who went off on a grand adventure, and had their illusions and innocence shattered, and in doing so, helped forge the individual identity of the nations.
There was no glory in their passing, but their memory sure as hell is glorious. There is a play, entitled "The One Day of the Year", where a know it all teenager who initially condemns the day just as you do finds out what it is truly about.
You are under no obligation to show some measure of respect for all the men in our nations who have fought and died in horrific conditions in order to secure freedom, and to do their duty. The fact that they made such a sacrifice may not impress you, but it sure as hell impresses me.
Lest we forget.

How true. If the Galipoli expedition hadn't been mounted we'd all be speaking Turkish by now

You know what I mean, I would hope. We acknowledge the sacrifice of all our fighting men and women, in every conflict. This includes those who fought and served at Gallipoli, in Palestine, in France, in New Guinea, in North Africa, in the Pacific, in Korea, in Vietnam, in the air, on and under the sea, in East Timor and even now in Afghanistan and elsewhere. The pointlessness of the campaign does nothing to detract from their sacrifice, nor from why they went. This is what is worthy of respect and rememberance.

I wholeheartedly agree. Scorch is right in that war sucks, it does, but those men and boys died. Who did they die for? All of us, and we should do everything we can to remember their sacrifice. Not just Gallipoli, all our wars.
Which is why i cant understand those f**** protestors who STILL show up at the Vietnam veterans marches. I dont particulary mind their beliefs, like that we shouldnt have gone, everyone can have a opinion, but direct it at the Government, they sent them, our soldiers went their, as their job and for their country, died and come back and get **** for it.
But i am pretty sure Scorch wasnt intending to insult those who died or anything like that.....
