Ask a New Zealander something.

[Skulsta]

Well since my neighbor the Aussie is answering questions, what does one wish to know of NZ?

[Samen]

So, uh, how about those indigenous tribes wiping each other out with European weaponry, thus emptying out the island so that the same Europeans could take over?

Pretty zany stuff right there.

The Maoris were never wiped out, yeah they did get guns from the Europeans that helped them in fights but they didn't all die but the population lowered a little.

The Europeans came to live here because they made a deal with the Maori known as The Treaty of Waitangi.

Because there has always been rivalry between Aussie and NZ just like USA and Canada.

Bloody Aussies...

What is it about a sheep's bottom you guys find so alluring?

The whole sheep shagging rumor is based on the fact that years ago when people farmed the farmers used to spend all day out looking after the sheep and people back home would joke that the said farmer was fucking the sheep.

However a New Zealander has never had sexual intercourse with a sheep, nor is there proof.

[ParadoxVoid]

Why is Australia just so much better, and why do you guys feel the need to ruin our society by migrating so much?

[zyzy]

Would NZ be willing to change its name to New America?

Who the fuck would live in a jungle off the coast of a real country?

New Zealand is a temperate zone.

No jungles.

It is in fact a forest off the coast of a real country.

Is it true most of the Kiwis migrated because there are more sheep in Australia than New Zealand and unlike NZ there are actually virgin sheep here, and that you keep them from getting away with your velcro gloves, put on a pair of spiked boots and take them to a cliff so they push back harder?

Normally I wouldn't say anything, but that was just so... awesome. I'm going to look through the rest of your post just to see if you said anything else that epic.

Why does every single Newzealander put NZ in front of their X-box gamer tag?

When will we (collective NZers) finally figure out that our country is actually a shithole and stop talking it up at every opportunity?

[Colombiana]

Do you live in the shire?

Remember.

We are God's gift to humanity.

We've got all this bush that I don't go to because I'm lazy.

I wish I lived in a nicer country.

Aussie is not better than NZ every country has their own ups and downs. Aussie may be warmer and more populated but NZ has more beautiful sites and such.

Would NZ be willing to change its name to New America?

No, the reason it is names "New" Zealand is because Dutch cartographers named it Nova Zeelandia after the Dutch province of Zeeland. British explorer James Cook subsequently anglicised the name to New Zealand. There is no connection to the Danish island Zealand.

Who the fuck would live in a jungle off the coast of a real country?

NZ is a very urban country. There is more city than there is jungle.

Kiwi didn't migrate because they can't fly. They evolved in NZ just like all the other animals evolved in their countries. If you mean the people in NZ they came here as a place to live from all over the place, they came here because they preferred here over their own country.

Why does every single Newzealander put NZ in front of their X-box gamer tag?

Maybe it's because there are so few NZ'ers on the internet and gaming stuff compared to Americans and that that to find another NZer is rare so they state that they are from NZ to make it easier to find other Kiwis.

When will we (collective NZers) finally figure out that our country is actually a shithole and stop talking it up at every opportunity?

Never.

Do you live in the shire?

Ni I live in a 2 story house filled with modern items like a wide screen plasma TV, 3 computers, an Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and many other expensive devises.

Where's Old Zealand?

It doesn't exist.

Where the fuck is Zealand

Read above answer.

Where u in "The Lord of The Rings"?

No, although the movie was filmed here, I was not interested in starring in it as at the time I was unaware.

Sorry it took so long to answer these questions but I just went to see the Land of the Lost movie.

It was fucking awesome.
