| 1284754 | 2012-07-01 11:08:00 | It is very difficult to believe that the NZ police took orders from a foreign power without the approval of the PM. AFAIK they didn't take orders, they received a request and agreed to cooperate. If Dotcom sues for damages, it will be interesting to see if the US Feds are willing to stump up the readies or just leave donKey to face the music. There is little chance that they'll be able to extradite him now after our Court decision. Like hello he is a German, these people have given us grief and I mean real grief in the past. So what? Read your history and you'll find that a raft of other peoples have done the same, if you go back in time, like the French, Spanish, Portugese, Japanese, Mongolians and heaven knows who else, we all come from someplace where we were either persecuted or persecutors at one point or other in our history. Calling Dotcom a kraut is as bad as calling the residents of any other country by a pejorative of that nature. Truth be known, the Germans never gave Kiwis a hard time anyway, we gave as good as we got, if not better, (Sir Keith Park, Battle of Britain)) and came out on top both times. They may have started conflicts, but Kiwis were twice an integral part of the team that finished them. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1284756 | 2012-07-01 21:49:00 | The Anglo-Saxons? They came from the unemployment office; being former Jutes (study.abingdon.org.uk), they had all been sacked. | R2x1 (4628) | ||

| 1284759 | 2012-07-02 01:20:00 | I've been called a 'Yank" but I'm never sure if it's the verb or the noun. Either way I don't care, 'cause I've got more Mexican beer than youse guys - so there! |
