[quote="SPINOZA]
My mum worked (teacher) in NZ for all of 2006. She worked in a girls' high school in what sounds like the most boring place in the world - Gisborne, North Island. She nearly went out of her mind in the first few months but settled in thanks to meeting great mates - of course many of which fellow Brits. Anyway, about the school.....rough as a bear's arse. Mostly Maori girls. I don't wanna sound racist, but Jesus, those Maori folks have social problems (alcoholism, drugs, domestic abuse) that make the worst parts of the UK sound like plush parts of San Francisco. Much worse - seeing we're slagging NZ off here - these folks believe all sorts of pitiable mythology about their people's descent from ancient warrior gods of the past. If they didn't have brown skin, they'd be referred to as white, working class trash by all.

Well i don't know what hobbies your mum is into. personally i quite enjoy a bit of golf, hanging out at the beach, good gyms with proper trainers and classes, bbq's with mates, clay pigeon shooting, good diving, variety of animal hunting, heaps of bush walks, excellent wines and cheeses, good clubs, pubs and bars, lots of top class weed available. Kinda sad your mum wasn't able to make friends with people other than brits, might be more of a reflection on her than the people of my country, maybe she should piss off back home if she can't get use to the sun going down at 4pm and drinking warm pintys of beer. as to your comments on the Maori culture anmd people, which happens to be my culture and people, i won't bother answering, youv'e shown your ignorance enough already and i honestly can't be arsed dealing with it.

Wow.

Potshots at Kiwis.

BEST THREAD EVER!!!!!!!!!!


Congratulations! You made a trolling thread about nationalities where other trolls as feeble as you write mindless tripe. Bravo.

It's probably the most you'll accomplish before you go back home to your blow up doll.
