There was a point where New Zealand was more "American" than America where it came to economic policy. This was after the collapse of the interventionist Keynesian regime that spent large sums on giant steelmills that made a huge loss, which in turn was after the collapse caused by Britain joining the EEC and not buying NZ's exports any more. The hyper-American free-marketeers dismantled the state as far as possible, privatising everything, then there was a third collapse symbolised by the loss of electrical supply to Auckland because the distributor cut maintenance to boost profits until their network broke. I'd like to learn more of NZ's troubled history, it's grisly but fascinating.

Aw crud, now I have something else to research. Damn you . I thought they just had a bunch of really weird animals.

Galway, I'll have to think on what you said. I am not sure they were completely inexperienced with such things given how powerful some companies were (like the East India Trading Company if I remember them correctly). There were many things they could not have envisioned, but none of those have invalidated their thoughts that they put down on parchment.

Example: They could never have envisioned the internet and yet their views on free speech still hold true.

Seldom do I ever read a thread that makes me think or re-think positions or that uncover anything interesting enough to send me off on a research jaunt.

Did this thread go off topic? Ummm, yeah, and I participated in it. Was it useful? Again I would say yes because while I saw a bunch of tired old arguments and prejudices that could not be substantiated, I also saw things that made me want to go do a little research. I think everyone should have their notions challenged on a regular basis to see if what they believe still holds true. It's healthy even when minds are not changed.

Of course, I agree with Mr. Churchill on an individual's evolution of political opinion .

Madfish (Cuddlefish) I couldn't careless if a nuke is modelled in SOW or not and that also goes for gore. I love il2 and it has neither. A nuke or gore in game will change what in your life........... nothing thats what. I take issue with all the whinning and crying, it sounds like a stinking nursery in here. The only reason people are protesting these issues is to say look at me, I'm evolved, I'm smarter than you, I'm morally superior to you............ I believe thats called moral narcissism. In other words get over your self and your better than tho attitude. If this doesn't apply to you than ignore the above.

Hunden, you seem to be under the impression that your opinions in this thread matter. They don't. Get over it.

Are you two really congratulating yourselves for 'spanking' someone on an internet forum? I am genuinely amused by this

I spanked the BMW driver who cut me up this afternoon. As he drove away I swore and made a gesture. He didn't see it, but I really spanked him good!
