we had the premier of Lost just the other night , and ive got to say this show could be my new favourite show, it has the makings of a great series of programmes
its got romance, conflict, some dark mystic beast everyone is afraid of, a cocaine addicted hobbit, a big tough guy dream boat doctor,a pregnant lady, a convict chick,
the chinese people who "ahhh i a no a speaka englishaaa" ,
it has the token black guys, and the hot rich girl, the soft mush and caring fat guy whos most likely going to end up eating everything, some weird old guy who plays backgammon alot,
you have the current Iraq vs USA situation represented also, wow who wudda thunk it huh? that you could have all of those people on one plane
it might actaully make for pretty good viewing i know ill tune in next week...

so by saying their chinese when they are really korean it makes me look stupid??
does the fact aht i dont give a shit what they are make any difference ??? coz i dont, mate they look and sound exactly the same to me so meh no skin off my nose, and as for the spinal tap post, i honestly do not see what is so funny about asking about a band
let me in on the joke please coz its obviously something pretty funny for lughead to read it "everyday"

wow it took a couple of posts for someone to say that, you guys are getting soft, sorry mate but even asian people i have spoken to say asians all look the same and european people look different, and sound different, and generally you can tell the difference between european people and where they are from accents, asian people look the same sound the same, sorry but its ture, the only way i can tell the difference is by seeing their writing, then it becomes easier,
but you cannot tell me that if you see 20 asian people on the street you can tell the difference between them,
i can hear it now "but that goes tha same with european people"
yes maybe but when you talk to them youll know where they come from if they are forgien, aisan people i dont, coz their speech sounds the same too me youc all me stupid and racist i dont really give a shit,
they play the "speak no english " card a bit too often for me untill you mention money then their english gets better, they overran my old skool and thought they owned the place, in which i tried to remind them that it wasnt theirs did a ok job wiht some of them too, they are idiots behind the wheel ( and no i dont think its NZ people as a driving instructor told me its them not us and comming from an AA guy it must mean somthing) generally they piss me off and no im not really that racist coz my best friend is asian himself so meh, i even have a japanese friend who cant tell tell the difference between asian people even when he speaks to them,
so you say " so not to sound stupid " i dont really care they are the same to me comment if you wish but i dont really give a fuck hahah its not that bigger deal to me, theres far too many around my area to actaully give a shit about neways
i loved the line from Harold and Kumar go to white castle " have you seen a korean guy around here " " umm only when i open my eyes" thats what its like in Howick, so you can see how i am bitter about it, they fucked up macleans college and my area so i dont care if i " accidentally offend them by calling them all the same"
but nice try anyways madaline, its just ...
but nice try anyways madaline, its just i been there b4 and won and the fact that i have asian mates who cant tell the difference either just backs my point up further sorry

I went to a school that had a reasonably sized asian population and found that the differences between the japanese, chinese and korean girls were pretty clear. the accents definately sound different anyway, the whole sound of the languages were different. ok, sometimes it may be difficult to tell asian people apart but i am sure if i was faced with a group of people from say holland, sweden, denmark, switzerland , finland etc. i would find it difficult to match each with their country of origin and language.
also , that spinal tap thread is an absolute joy to read and reread.

dont worry chewdog stick to ur 48 may thread, ur insults are actaully taken to heart there
well in my school the asains were dicks, who couldnt speak english, that had been at my school from 3rd to 7th form but neva actaully took the time to learn english even to be curtious, they spoke english in class making fun of the teachers and my fellow class mates, they think they owned they place and thought they were smarter than everyone else and just because of that all us european people should bow down to them, we'd go to assembly and itd be " time to give out the australina maths awards in fact lets get every asian up here so you can all clap for them"
the "muliti cultural club" was totally run and operated and owned by asians who claimed to be New Zealanders after being in the country for 10 mins,
basically i hate them, i dont care what you think, i cant stand them and they jsut keep pouring in to this country, so what about hte economy and the fact they bring money, they also bring a shit load of problems,
did you know that you ahve to go thorugh hours of physical tests and shit just to get a 6 month working visa in asia but here they just walk straight in, after working at the air port and seeing hte Kiwi passports lane full of asian people 99.9 % of which couldnt even speak english you can understand why i dont like them, fuck if we went over there youd need ot learn their language atleast, why cant they do that here???? NONE that i went to school with bar the ones born in NZ took the time to learn it and still by leaving 7th form couldnt speak english thats what pisses me off about them that and the fact they cant drive for shit
and as for the spinal tap thread, for ...
and as for the spinal tap thread, for fucks sake do you people always make fun of people who clearly dont know about a band? fake or real, did anyone you actaully take the time to explain what spinal tap is ? no you just sit there like wankers and fucken rip the shit out of people, then you got bitter little faggots like chewdog insulting people who are actaully doing something with their lvies like 48 many are instead of sitting behind a screen and throwing insults in a web post board, seriously you guys say im stupid and i have a problem , fuck off its you people tha have the problem,
if someone had taken the time to explain or atleast answer the question i asked in the spinal tap board " are they a real band or are they just a bullshit band piss take band" then i might have been able to enjoy the joke aswell but no ur so full of urselves and think you are so superior to people just because you know of some obscure bands that no one else has ever heard of wow you peopel are awesome i wish i could be like you... not really

////Maybe Joanna is just saying that if you did a little research you wouldn't come across as such a moron. Hey, but I'm not being rude, some of my best friends are morons.
why would i bother to research on a bunch of people who dont even bother to learn the language of the country the fucken live in ??? why should i bother ??? and fucken hell it was a joke what is aid about then my god you people take everything sooooooooooooo seriously, i said they were chinese so fucken what, hoenstly i cant tell and honestly i dont give a shit, didnt know youd make such a big deal about it, why the fuck is everyone sooooooo politically correct these days,

People can re-learn to distinguish ...
People can re-learn to distinguish faces from unfamiliar cultures, but it's generally a skill lost by the age of two. In the same way that babies can distinguish between sounds that they later can't as adults, babies can distinguish the differences in faces of not-just-other cultures, but also see faces of monkeys as individuals. However, for the sake of cognitive efficiency, skills that are not used are lost as the brain sorts it's wiring out.
Well dantheman, Joanna merely corrected ...
Well dantheman, Joanna merely corrected your assumption that the asians on Lost were chinese, which prompted not a simple "oops - korean then", but the mission to assert your right to call those shifty money-hungry school-overrunning chinks whatever you fucking well want and who fuckity fucking cares anyway etc etc etc, so really, when you look at it, you're the one that made the big deal out of it.
"hey dantheman chill out or fuck ...
"hey dantheman chill out or fuck off"
so its alright for you people to give someone shit, make fun of them for not knowing about a band, and call them numbskulls and morons, but as soon as i dfend my self and return some of the insults that i have gotten around here, i get told to chill out, get fucked, if you hassel me you will get it back end of story you dont like it then YOU fuck off either that or dont dish it out in the first place,
you people didnt even give me a chance in that spinal tap thread, you just jumped into sarcastic jokes and mockery from day fucken one, so you get get rooted pretty much, i asked a simple question and only one or two of you had the decency to actaully stop with the sarcasm bullshit and the smart ass remarks and answer the question i was asked,
and as for the asians shit fuck im sorry if its such a big deal to you and ur politically correct world, i made a mistake woops fucken hell its not the end of the world,
look i am chilled out im simply defending myself against a group of people who are all giving me shit, its funny who quick you are to gang up on a person but ur arent as quick to slow downa nd actaully answer a question asked or even explain something b4 you throw out the sarcastic comments and degrading insults
"Well dantheman, Joanna merely ...
"Well dantheman, Joanna merely corrected your assumption that the asians on Lost were chinese, which prompted not a simple "oops - korean then"
oh but its fine to go and make 20 posts of sarcastic, insulting commnets agianst a perosn for not knowing or just being abit unsure wether spinal tap was a for real band or not isnt it.......
its the double standard that so often comes into play, its alright for chewboy to call me and idiot and a numbskull but its not alright for me to tell him hes a fuckwit and that i dont really care if those people in lost are chinese or not
you laugh at a person and call them names even when they are being genuine and serious, but you dont actaully let them in on the joke or tell them where thye made a mistake you just give htem shit about it, and that is pretty fucken low

//you laugh at a person and call them names even when they are being genuine and serious, but you dont actaully let them in on the joke or tell them
OK, I'm really sorry dantheman. The joke is this. You're both ridiculously stubborn and mindbogglingly stupid, not to mention racist and homophobic, and people give up on trying to explain things reasonably to you because you insist on using the tired, shallow, ill-thought arguments over and over again. Also, treating you with any kind of respect whilst disagreeing with you is just met with abuse and even more inane arguments. Therefore people would much rather not bother, and instead make fun. And noizyboy linked to a site let you in on the joke very early in that spinal tap thread. Not anyone else's lookout it you don't bother checking it. Hahaha, funny isn't it!

Different websites, different browsers. I use firefox for most of my browsing, but it doesn't have an autorefresh function like opera does, which I find handy for nzmusic.
I suspect I cut'n'pasted the URL from firefox into opera, which is where the error occured.

No, but first I couldn't even spot the difference between the two links - then I had no problem opening either of them. I just figured it's a browser thing.
It reminded me of that other time - where you kept saying "see! there! look, it's all messed up!" and pointing to a perfectly normal link.

I like Lost quite a bit.
I goes up and down like most shows but it has enough intrigue and mystique to keep you going.
Just a rehash of Gilligan's Island, Heather? Ha, so flippant. I think you will find as you watch more that it is a meld of many "stranded on an island" shows, books and movies.
I just found out recently that one of my flatmate's relatives is doing some Director of Photography work on Lost. Very cool.

Yeah Stefan I'm a bit like you (apart from the whole friend thing).
I was thinking yeah it's lush and cinematic, yeah it's got the prerequisites for being a good programme, but what's gonna really make me want to watch it next week? What's going to set it apart.
Then that creepy old backgammon dude did his orange peel smile, and it was so bizarre and dark considering the circumstances I couldn't help but thinking that Lost is a pretty fucking good TV programme, despite its weaker moments.

I can also say that the new Battlestar Galactica tv series is very well done and the new season of 24 is very promising.
A shame that Arrested Development has become a bit hit and miss, though there are still some classic moments. Gob just gets better and better.
