Stainless steve . Another misperception that I held for a long time, and that is, being wealthy and a high flyer is not conducive to developing Meekness and humility. It's common, but not exclusive to the wealthy. Some of the most ****y and ungrateful folk I know are the laid back benefit claiming whanau that I have. Lol. Making money can be addictive and toxic, but making big goals and thinking internationally is something more Kiwis and Maoris need to do. They will intrinsically bring that meekness and real down to earth qualities to their work. Well most will in my observations as being from NZ has a built in 'rural' mentality on a global scale

204. IGOR. Maine, USA is now 9:37pm or 21:37

Wardad. I used to think you were a decent guy but reading of your claims of being shot at by Taliban, I lean to the side of, yeah nah. Rubbish. Cloudy is a legit Wahine and pretty choice. Naru is a SA and I reckon one of roses characters, or maybe rose is one of narus characters. Blackboy you are an embarrassment bro. You got some anger management issues hard. You can't control your mouth. Maybe read more of IGOR's posts and learn some grammar and have a laugh too. Also IGOR is spot on with seeing what is really going on at senior management and government level sporting corruption. I'm gonna be reporting inappropriate wallaroo's, hightackle, black ask and blackboy's comments as inappropriate. Geez what a joke. I also tend to side with IGOR on viewing a lot of the perspectives of our kiwi bro's and broettes lacking in entrepreneurial insight and big thinking. I've been trying to convince my friends and extended family members to accelerate their development in their careers and business as a lot of them are working 60+ hours a week and they think they're cleaning up and doing well when they have the skills to run the whole business that they are working for, make 10 times what they are now earning and be more fulfilled in developing their skills, as opposed to staying in a brain dead position. What really got me is when I offered my niece the opportunity to come to Melbourne and I would help her get her own apartment, market her own make up artistry business and I would help her market her business, find employees and mentor her into starting her own business as her work is quite amazing. Her response, 'my folks and friends told me not to try and be a rock star, and do some more study to be qualified to launch my own business'. My response, 'riiiiiight, ok', followed by a 'with all due respect, your thinking can be different to your parents or friends and you are a rock star'. Her work is amazing and she's done work on Nz's next model or top model or whatever it is. The show didn't even pay her, and she's proud it! A nice sentiment to do some volunteer work, but in this case I told her to demand quality pay as she's studied over 3 years. Oh well, just voicing my thoughts about a lot of my friends and Fam in NZ are struggling financially yet won't have the paradigm shift needed to make some decent cash. And rukker, your posts are pretty spot on with your rugby views, but I think you got IGOR's comments the wrong way perhaps. When we say, kiwis tall poppy syndrome out, we are wanting to lift those in NZ. I don't mean to speak for IGOR. I just know that I do all I can to help when I am asked for help, yet there is a strong tall poppy syndrome. Gratitude for what you have is great. Creating success financially by backing your creativity and uniqueness is better. I mean, the ask any of the AB's how their thinking has changed after playing in the AB's and I reckon they'd share a sentiment of 'not accepting mediocrity... Demand excellence ... And think big.. Set big goals... And achieve them'.

High tackle/wallaroo. You talk complete shet. Watch The AB's thump the Wobblies. I'll look forward to your 'who cares, union is out fifth and sixth favourite sport... Or was it the 6th or 7th favourite sport? Oh my bad your last post said it was officially the 7th and 8th favourite sport'. Yeah cause that makes sense why the Wobblies are so shet. Perfect sense.

This will be a big one. IM sure that the all Blacks want redemption for last year's loss in Queensland. Definitely 13+ might drop a big one

Some interesting retrospective jusifications for saying anything more than 'the wobblies are failing', by hightackle., Ask any AB's or Wobblie supporter and ask them what failure is and they will say how they felt if they lose the bledisloe. By 1 or 100 points. Success or failure right there. None of this, 'we'll I don't feel bad because we still second on the irb table'. It's all about the bledisloe. Never felt as successful as when the AB's win it. Never felt as much of a failure as I have when we lose it. I'm sure players share similar views. Just saying.... It's pretty simple.. You either winning or not.

Old prop Who was in bed with the Russians? Who experimented with nuclear weapons on French Polynesia? Man you seem to be all for the invasion of Iraq? You must be a freedom fighter? Do you think I support corrupt regimes? All around the world I oppose all of them. There is a common denominator in most of them dot you think? Australian and Nz'ers have suffered from it. Now. And still are. That's all I'm saying. Bad look getting into bed with America. The United States of conspiracy

Both very very promising young players. Elliot just has that edge. The passion. Needs to get his line out throw half decent though. He secretly things he's a centre. He can step too. Clever fullah who can box like a mofo. Don't wanna get on his bad side at the bottom of a ruck

I meant I say no one is squeaky clean. But the stupidest thing Australia and Nz ever did was I support The usa'a illegal occupation in Iraq. Many may disagree with me. But I don't believe USA wang freedom. They want control. Economic control. Anyway. I'm getting on my bandwagon. Back to rugby.... Abs 46 Wobblies 0

Did i miss something? What was the recent world war? What did the UN rule? You remember the little old UN of which we are a part of. They ruled it illegal to invade Iraq die to unfounded assumptions of nuclear weapons. What did America do? Ignored it and killed 1000's of innocent people. Shet what would you want to a country that brings you 'freedom' by killing? Would you believe them? When you see them sizing your oil fields? Come on man. We can talk about Russia. Or china or North Korea. Monies squeaky clean. It's just that now our most powerful brand is less squeaky clean now too
