the swiss are just borderline nutters. the only counrty that Nazi germany never risked to invade ( they were going to but the swiss got word of it . it would have been like invading Japan)

even NZ compared to australia. NZ with its underlying battle couture. ( ever seen the documentary " once were warriors"

in short i think that a countries history has more to do with the numbers of deaths. this intern dictates the number of guns and not the other way around.

I was a little confused by your post there Clean32, but if you take "dressmaking" and substitute it for the French "couture" in those two places, it all makes perfect sense

( to a former Kiwi anyway )

BTW "Once Were Warriors" isn't a documentary, it is a fictional movie, but based on life in South Auckland. There was a sequel a couple of years later with "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted".

When i was out camping, i wasn,t lost,, but this thread seems to have become very disoriented,,
Laurie,

then as a Kiwi you must hail from AK.
but then i grew up around places like the Lakeside hotel in Rotorua. ( tables nailed to the floor) and the flying jug at the MT ( cant remember tis real name)
the Forrest at toke
or try surviving a couple of years in the FORD block rotorua.
did you ever survive a new years at the mount ( 70s - 80s)? or Mt collage riots ( yes a high school with riot police)

to many provincial Kiwis, the movie Once were warriors IS a documentary

its no wonder the federation cloned the warrior race LOL ( star wars)

Y'know I think that most people who watch a movie will recognise it isn't real. Even 'provincials'.

Maybe it portrays a section of society accurately, as this does (I know that very very well), but it is not real. It is not a documentary, it is fiction.

Oh, and by the way. Not all kiwi's "hail from AK". I don't. I am a provincial and I think I realise the difference between what's real and what's not.

Well, close , I lived in Murupara for 4 years in the mid 70's. If you lived in BOP you'll know Murupara and it's reputation. A couple of times while I was there, shotguns were discharged in the public bar. All the beer,blood and everything else was hosed out of the bar the next morning.
Like most others there I owned a rifle, and did a bit of deer hunting ( I was hopeless at it I might add ).
But for all that I had a great time there -real character building town.

I agree with you, OWW although not a documentary, is pretty close to reality as I experienced it anyway.

Sorry thread really hijacked now ...
