I'd love for the American Food and Drug Administration to be able to tell us what should be in our food... Here's the article I just read (www.naturalnews.com)	dubpir8 (16040)
1165436	2010-12-29 08:50:00	Lol The US has no legal standing in NZ and I suspect most foreign countries to "give the FDA authority to set up offices in foreign countries". I am thinking this is a poorly written article sensationalising something in the American Food Safety Modernization Act. I suppose they could request to set up here and I suppose we could tell them to stuff off thanks.	Battleneter2 (9361)

1165438	2010-12-29 09:12:00	The two American laws I would like here are capital punishment and their right to bear arms.	prefect (6291)

1165440	2010-12-29 09:39:00	You have the right to bear arms, sort of. Not really, they have open carry. I like the way you can blast someone breaking into your house and they just come around and cart the body away.	prefect (6291)

Now if you said the British may as well write our laws I would agree because they largely have. American law is NOT international law, though many Americans and it seems young people here tend to think so (to much American TV).	Battleneter2 (9361)

We had a recent change in Employment Law for Warner Brothers and it only cost us 30 Million!. New changes to the copyright law are driven by the US and they are trying even harder with this ACTA thing. And then there are all those US fingers in our Government decisions - haven't you been reading Wikileaks lately...	porkster (6331)
1165443	2010-12-29 18:21:00	Yeah, a decade or so ago I was closely involved in some proposed legilative changes. The poms started the process, and NZ like lambs followed. There was some group paid an absurd amount of money to provide their professional opinion regarding the proposed changes, ultimately for those in parliament to completely ignore and to just bulldoze on following what the poms had done. Seen the process repeat itself many times... it's like those in parliament have no brains of their own, and no balls with which to commit to their own solutions. THis happens regardless of the party in government. Had the Nat local MP write to me telling me what the Labour party was proposing to do... ultimately I just ignored his letter, coz all they were doing was exactly the same as National had started doing in their previous term... both partys just copying the same pommie model. It does leave you wondering just why we have these guys sitting in Wellington pretending to be wise and well meaning. Aussie does the same, but to a lesser degree.	Paul.Cov (425)

New changes to the copyright law are driven by the US and they are trying even harder with this ACTA thing . And then there are all those US fingers in our Government decisions - haven't you been reading Wikileaks lately . . . To me that was a Australian Union using NZ law to threaten a production that "happened" to be US backed . The NZ government chose doing something over nothing, considering the hits the economy has taken this year was the right thing to do . Wikileaks is a demonstration of US bullying but not much to do with NZ law, the leaks I have seen concerning NZ are "personnel opinions" of diplomats, the US government is arrogant/ignorant and self centred, didn't need Wikileaks to know that . Internationally recognised copyright law is a mixed bag, you will discover our local film industry would be more than happy for more draconian measures . Sure the US government push like hell . You guys are acting like the US being Natzi's is something new, its only been happening for the last 60+ years since WW2, ummmmm welcome to the real world	Battleneter2 (9361)
