Dr Grump is an arrogant ass of a New Zealander snob who thinks he knows everything about how the United States is doing wrong and if we just listened to him based on his experience growing up in a country one 75th our size we'd be fine.
Get this. He thinks New Zealand where the closest neighbors are across hundreds of miles of ocean means he knows all about our open border with third world Mexico where millions of Mexicans just walk across our border. He actually believes it's the same thing.
His opinion of himself is inversely proportional to his knowledge about actually being an American
It's not hard to know a lot about the US. There's these things called books. And the internet. When you look at things like the BLM shit going in Seattle, are you on the ground there or are you looking at newspapers, the online news and television - IOW, the exact same sources I am? If you're living in Bumfuck, Iowa, and I'm in Australia, what advantage do you have over me as to what is going on in Seattle? Nothing. That's what. What does the size of a country have to do with anything. You go to our local primary school in a suburb like Mt Eden in Auckland, there are more than 200 cultures there, and just over 75 different languages being spoken. You think NZ isn't cosmopolitan? When I was growing up in the 70s and 80s about 1 in 1000 people walking down main street Auckland were Asian. Today two out of 10 are...plus we have the biggest Pacific Island population in the world.
No, I don't think it is the same thing. Where have I ever said that. I hardly comment on immigration.
So you know all about the United States because you read a book. Yes, that is quite revealing
I never said that.
Dr. Grump. It's not hard to know a lot about the US. There's these things called books
Liar.
And I have a huge advantage over you in Seattle. I'm an American and it's American culture.
I'd be an idiot if I said I know as much as you about a New Zealand town as you when you're a New Zealander and I'm not. Just like you are for saying you read a book and the Internet and you know as much about Seattle as me.
And to be specific, you say you understand having an open border with a third world country when New Zealand has no borders with anyone. And you know if we just banned guns they would disappear and go away and criminals wouldn't have them anymore. Even though with our open border, criminals with guns can, hello, walk right in ...
No, you pile ignorance on top of ignorance. You're a total New Zealand snob
Let me explain a few things to you Dipshit. I'm been on this planet for just over 50 years. I'm a news junkie. Been a journo for 30+ years. Since I can remember, every newspaper, television bulletin, radio bulletin and internet news outlet here has at least one or two, if not three items, on the US. Every day for 50 years. How many news items do you get on NZ? One a year..maybe. More like, one every five years. So excuse me if I notice. Again growing up, about 70 per cent of our TV shows were from America - all chock full of your culture. Now it's about 50 per cent and shrinking. You wouldn't know about a NZ town because you haven't had NZ culture shoved down your throat EVERY DAY for 50 years. If you did, you might be able to comment on it.
I can name all 45 US presidents, the 8 that died in office, the four of those eight that were assassinated and who killed them. I can tell you every state capital, who invented what, where, and most of the names of those who signed your Declaration of Independence. Now, before you get all smug, "Oh he just wants to be American", I can do the same with French Presidents and UK PMs, as well as Chinese leaders and their Russian counterparts, and of course NZ and Australian PMs too. Why? I'm a history nut and like to look into world affairs. Why? Because what happens around the world in different countries affects most people, somewhere. It's called being informed. NZ and Australians have one of the highest per capita people with passports in the western world. The US one of the lowest. We like to get out and about and see what is going on. Like that's not a good thing. What? You prefer people to wallow in ignorance. I've seen people wallowing in ignorance. About 40 per cent of them voted for Trump last election. They're called Deplorables.
America is not that hard to understand nor the people in it. That might stick in your craw because you see your country as "Big Man On Campus" and when the shit hits the fan you like to throw your weight around. Good for you. Sorry, unless you are on the ground in Seattle you are getting EXACTLY the same info as me.
Dr Grump: We have neighbors who are hundreds of miles way across an ocean. That's the same as you having an open border with a third world country were millions of people walk across your border, kaz
Dr Grump: You just make guns illegal and then criminals can't get them. They also can't walk across your open border with a third world country with guns if you outlaw them, you know, cuz ...
Jackass. You're a New Zealand snob. Next time I want to know what someone one 75th our size thinks is the answer to all our problems, I'll ask ...

OK, sure. I'll explain it to you.
There is a term called British snob. It refers to an arrogant Brit who endlessly opines about how they know more about America than Americans do, but they don't really know anything outside of their local shire and they've probably never been here.
I'm doing a play on that and calling you a New Zealand snob for the same reasons other than you're from New Zealand.
Two examples I gave of your incredibly arrogant and highly ignorant condescension on that were guns and having an open border with a third world country.
Not being very smart you boiled those two issues down to "immigration." But my point was you're a New Zealand snob, not really "immigration." Which for some odd reason you think guns are also immigration.
You're welcome, thanks for asking

If you can find me one post where I say I know more than an American citizen, I'll wire you $1,000. Don't mistake my being informed as me thinking I know more. What, you prefer people to wallow in ignornace? What? You don't think I know your southern border is porous? I am hardly ignorant on US immigration or gun laws and would happily debate you on either. In fact, I think one of your main issues is how informed I am and it sticks in your craw. Tough shit.
If you can find me one post where I say I know more than an American citizen, I'll wire you $1,000
Interesting! I believe you when you say you are more ignorant then a American citizen. You are so ignorant you ignored the little dotted line beneath the word "ignorance"! It is "ignorance" not " ignornace".

I'd be an idiot if I said I know as much as you about a New Zealand town as you when you're a New Zealander and I'm not. Just like you are for saying you read a book and the Internet and you know as much about Seattle as me.
And to be specific, you say you understand having an open border with a third world country when New Zealand has no borders with anyone. And you know if we just banned guns they would disappear and go away and criminals wouldn't have them anymore. Even though with our open border, criminals with guns can, hello, walk right in ...
No, you pile ignorance on top of ignorance. You're a total New Zealand snob
Let me explain a few things to you Dipshit. I'm been on this planet for just over 50 years. I'm a news junkie. Been a journo for 30+ years. Since I can remember, every newspaper, television bulletin, radio bulletin and internet news outlet here has at least one or two, if not three items, on the US. Every day for 50 years. How many news items do you get on NZ? One a year..maybe. More like, one every five years. So excuse me if I notice. Again growing up, about 70 per cent of our TV shows were from America - all chock full of your culture. Now it's about 50 per cent and shrinking. You wouldn't know about a NZ town because you haven't had NZ culture shoved down your throat EVERY DAY for 50 years. If you did, you might be able to comment on it.
I can name all 45 US presidents, the 8 that died in office, the four of those eight that were assassinated and who killed them. I can tell you every state capital, who invented what, where, and most of the names of those who signed your Declaration of Independence. Now, before you get all smug, "Oh he just wants to be American", I can do the same with French Presidents and UK PMs, as well as Chinese leaders and their Russian counterparts, and of course NZ and Australian PMs too. Why? I'm a history nut and like to look into world affairs. Why? Because what happens around the world in different countries affects most people, somewhere. It's called being informed. NZ and Australians have one of the highest per capita people with passports in the western world. The US one of the lowest. We like to get out and about and see what is going on. Like that's not a good thing. What? You prefer people to wallow in ignorance. I've seen people wallowing in ignorance. About 40 per cent of them voted for Trump last election. They're called Deplorables.
America is not that hard to understand nor the people in it. That might stick in your craw because you see your country as "Big Man On Campus" and when the shit hits the fan you like to throw your weight around. Good for you. Sorry, unless you are on the ground in Seattle you are getting EXACTLY the same info as me.
Dr Grump: We have neighbors who are hundreds of miles way across an ocean. That's the same as you having an open border with a third world country were millions of people walk across your border, kaz
Dr Grump: You just make guns illegal and then criminals can't get them. They also can't walk across your open border with a third world country with guns if you outlaw them, you know, cuz ...
Jackass. You're a New Zealand snob. Next time I want to know what someone one 75th our size thinks is the answer to all our problems, I'll ask ...
So this has now turned into a debate about immigration? When did that happen? <sarcasm>
OK, sure. I'll explain it to you.
There is a term called British snob. It refers to an arrogant Brit who endlessly opines about how they know more about America than Americans do, but they don't really know anything outside of their local shire and they've probably never been here.
I'm doing a play on that and calling you a New Zealand snob for the same reasons other than you're from New Zealand.
Two examples I gave of your incredibly arrogant and highly ignorant condescension on that were guns and having an open border with a third world country.
Not being very smart you boiled those two issues down to "immigration." But my point was you're a New Zealand snob, not really "immigration." Which for some odd reason you think guns are also immigration.
You're welcome, thanks for asking
If you can find me one post where I say I know more than an American citizen, I'll wire you $1,000. Don't mistake my being informed as me thinking I know more. What, you prefer people to wallow in ignornace? What? You don't think I know your southern border is porous? I am hardly ignorant on US immigration or gun laws and would happily debate you on either. In fact, I think one of your main issues is how informed I am and it sticks in your craw. Tough shit.

You are right!It's AN American. Not a American.Interesting! I believe you when you say you are more ignorant then a American citizen. You are so ignorant you ignored the little dotted line beneath the word "ignorance"! It is "ignorance" not " ignornace". Little details explain a lot!Dr Grump is an arrogant ass of a New Zealander snob who thinks he knows everything about how the United States is doing wrong and if we just listened to him based on his experience growing up in a country one 75th our size we'd be fine.
Get this. He thinks New Zealand where the closest neighbors are across hundreds of miles of ocean means he knows all about our open border with third world Mexico where millions of Mexicans just walk across our border. He actually believes it's the same thing.
His opinion of himself is inversely proportional to his knowledge about actually being an American
It's not hard to know a lot about the US. There's these things called books. And the internet. When you look at things like the BLM shit going in Seattle, are you on the ground there or are you looking at newspapers, the online news and television - IOW, the exact same sources I am? If you're living in Bumfuck, Iowa, and I'm in Australia, what advantage do you have over me as to what is going on in Seattle? Nothing. That's what. What does the size of a country have to do with anything. You go to our local primary school in a suburb like Mt Eden in Auckland, there are more than 200 cultures there, and just over 75 different languages being spoken. You think NZ isn't cosmopolitan? When I was growing up in the 70s and 80s about 1 in 1000 people walking down main street Auckland were Asian. Today two out of 10 are...plus we have the biggest Pacific Island population in the world.
No, I don't think it is the same thing. Where have I ever said that. I hardly comment on immigration.
So you know all about the United States because you read a book. Yes, that is quite revealing
I never said that.

But ignoring the little red dotted line is dumb and dumbest is misspelling the word "ignorance"!
Doesn't your computer show that little dotted line and if it does ARE you aware it means you've misspelled the word?
