Explain why. The only major difference I see between Apartheid and the way the rest of the countries of the world treats its underclass is that in South Africa they didn't have the vote either - for obvious reasons. But in terms of creating a poor underclass, often divided along racial lines, where people have piss poor access to the same levels of education, opportunity, basic human rights, freedom and prosperity, 'Apartheid' might as well still exist just about everywhere. Stop kidding yourself.

I was talking in terms of how your fellow Stormers fans seem to get wound up by your perceived negativity. Nipper on the other hand trolls, and he does it very well. He winds up so many people.

To get this thread back on a positive vibe, I'll re-post my faves

My favourite Kiwis...

Guy Smiley - all round nice guy, very funny, a bit of a smart arse (which I like) and a Saders fan. Good value in every way.
the axe - good for rugby chat these days, I think he's actually improved as a poster on the new bored, seems to start lots of rugby based chat.
UncleFB - good for some banter. We disagree a lot of the time (and sometimes argue even when we agree on something) but always manage to maintain a sound degree of civility that one or two other posters could learn from in relation to their online arguments.
naki - Very funny, intelligent poster. Great for both rugby and non-rugby chat. If you can overlook his morbid obesity he's a very valuable poster to the SH dayshift.
Enzedder - Wise, elder statesman of the forum and an all round nice guy. He generally has a positive, moderating effect on the forum.
Eugenuis - Smart, knowledgeable poster especially relating to Canterbury rugby. A very funny posters and effective wind up merchant whose tongue in cheek posting style never fails to incite reaction.
Grizz Wylie - Probably the best rugby poster from NZ, though his output is low.
PFM - Has a contrary view to me on most things, but a good Crusaders man who like the_axe starts lots of excellent rugby threads these days.
Kiwias - Another wise, elder statesman of the forum who dispenses sage advice and is good for an anecdote or two. Seems to have a photographic memory and offers interesting historical perspectives and insights into historical games and events.
Taranaki Snapper - Great for interesting threads which cover a range of topics.
True Blue - knowledgable rugby poster who generally contributes well to NZ centric rugby chat.

There are others I have overlooked, like Captain Hurricane, Kiwi dutchie

Deary me, you're serious

Can't be arsed reading through the thread. Cheers, though

Hold on, you just accused me of posting one of the stupidest things you've ever read, so I explained myself and asked you to explain yourself.

Not giving honourable mentions.

I know we disagree on most things but you're not usually this mind-bendingly stupid. This is approaching Riaan levels

I don't know why c69 chooses to do this weird implying that refry is his multi, attention I suppose but it isn't the case.

Refry may be on the troll at times but I have seen evidence from his personal email account that a lot of what he says is true (scans of doctors notes, letterheaded appointment letters, references). If c69 went to all that trouble, and I don't believe for a second he did, he is truly deranged.

You forgot me,sparky 101.

It's a piss take as some of the more vacuous London types used to accuse us of being the same poster, it is not fucking rocket science. But is does sow some seeds of doubt in their mind, Refry knows the score and even trolls me now

prick!

Nooo, please don't tell me REFRY is another Taff creation of DDs ? That would do my fucking swede in Come to think of it, is it Flaps?

Sickening smearing

Phew, that's a relief. So then, it is you, you duplicitous scoundrel.

I said my piece on this thread after yet another Andy's scurrilous accusations.
I suspect he knows more than he is saying.

As edited in my earlier post, I'd love it to be Flaps; the wily old plumber ...

UgghhhhhhmmmmM arghhhhhhhh! Twice in 24 hours good work.

I've never seens a 'white's only' sign here in NZ.
Sorry, but you're full of shit.

There are many good English posters IMHO, but I'd say SamShark and Womack are the ones whose posts I generally read most of.

Fair enough - you are fortunate enough to live in a multi-party democracy. I've not had that luxury so my view is a little skewed.

I have also been shortsighted in my assumption that the remaining 48% were anti-apartheid, which might not necessarily have been the case. There might have been parties even more to the right than the Nats that also gained some votes and supported apartheid policies.

Requires further research methinks.

I realise Apartheid put all these horrible segregation laws and oppression on the books, which most other countries never did or did away with them much earlier, but it's not like racism and the battle between rich and poor, frequently drawn across colour lines, doesn't still go on all over the place. I've lived in the UK, so don't even pretend to tell me racism isn't still alive and well there. There's more unhappy muslims or blacks or Pakistanis than you can shake a pointed stick at. Racism debates crop up all the time in Australia and NZ as well. But then they killed most of their problem a long time ago, so it can mostly be ignored.

There's not all that big a difference between institutionalised racism and just good old-fashioned racism, is what I'm saying. Surely this is not such a hard point to understand. Or do you really think your country has licked the whole racism thing?

I'm off now, but seeing as though you are so comfortable in your intellectual superiority I know there will be an incredibly intelligent reply awaiting me in the morning, when I'll most likely realise that you really are super, super smart. Or maybe it'll be like all the other times I've argued with you when your arrogance and smug sense of superiority came off as faintly laughable and entirely unearned.

flaggeternal

I bet it was hard for you to choose, there are what two Fijian posters on this bored?

no there is also fijiantribes, psychostyles, boston cream and vuaka

Out of that list, I have only heard of fijiantribes and I don't recall him posting on this bored.

Cheeky pie eating cunt!

I find it interesting that Clogs now identifies as an Australian national, rather than a South African.

Transl: AC thinks all kiwis are just awesome. Except possibly douche chill, I mean even Ali's Choice can't rate him, surely?

+1

US is easily Goey, Huesos and Flying Ryan.

Isn't Nieghorn a Yank as well??

+1

(and that's 1 Pie eating Clogs reference for the day )

He even supports AFL - pity its the Demons.

Sheesh after paying so many blokes a compliment, all I cop is abuse. These Aussies are a funny bunch.

It's because you are a big, fat pie eating cunt Clogs.

PsychoStyles must be warpath's nickname for Islandstyles, the nutcase who is apparently serving in the British Army at present. The other guys only come out when the 7s tournaments are on, or during the pacific nations cup.
