Cut and paste with no quotation marks or attribution is generally called Plagiarism.

1221214 2011-08-07 07:30:00 I once spent a short period with an American Infantry Battalion. They were amazing people. They all had a rich Uncle Sam who paid for everything. We Kiwis were taught to be very frugal and so we did not waste anything. At one stage I helped an American Lieutenant who was getting petrol drums ready for refilling. His instructions were, "Pour it on the ground, Uncle Sam is paying." I was not having any of this, so I used the petrol to refuel our vehicles, rather than waste it or pollute the ground.

I think that Americans an New Zealanders may have different views on finance.

1221215 2011-08-07 08:29:00 There are just too many sites to quote that are repeating the same thing that BM appeared to pretend was his original work, and too many to find out the original source (that is left as an exercise for the reader )

:lol::lol: And just where did I say it was my work?

It comes from an E-Mail that has been doing the rounds and all but those who lead the most sheltered of lives would have already read. :rolleyes:

You’ll note it was headed “For your consideration” and then the E-Mail pasted.

There is nobody to thank or acknowledge other than possibly my brother-in-law who has forwarded a number of similar ones. Thank you Dale.

So, ignoring Terry and Marty who have a problem with the messenger, does anybody have a problem with the message?

Personally, like others I think it would be very interesting to see NZ’s and Aus’s finances calculated in the same manner.
