[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 217310, member: 1125"] It always amuses me when nations are described as having no culture for the simple fact that Nation is predicated on the existence of a Culture to sustain it. The is especially true for the 'new world' colonies due to their lack of history and the need to quite literally create a Nation from amny disparate elements (such as Jefferson et al did with the original States). This is the only thing I liked about Kevin Costners "The Postman" its study of how Nations are created by sharing a common ideal. Okay now for my defense of New Zealand speech. New Zealand (a small Island nation at the bottom of the Pacific) has a population which is only just approaching 4 million people (2000 Census) and in that time we have Richard Pearse in March 1903 had invented and flew the FIRST aeroplane (resembled a modern microlight aircraft- however he crashed rather than landed and so did not achieve controlled flight (ie - the Wrights get that:)) Ernest Rutherford was from New Zealand Peter Jackson is from New Zealand So is Jango Fett:) (and cousin Tem Morrison too) Other New Zealand inventions - Trench Warfare (NZ Maori), Electric Refridgerator, Jetboat, Electric fence, Bungee jumping, hairclip, 3d sports graphics, Womens Liberation, DNA coding, Direct Marketing (Glaxo), Disposable Syringe, Tranquiliser Dart, Stamp Vending machines, cigarette dispenders, the Referees whistle, Jogging as exercise, the Rockets that took NASA into space, Damn good for a country with less people than a lot of cities in the world...
