    Bloody foreigners! Did they have a permit for such a public event? I don't think so! Who knows it may have been some sort of prelude to a terrorist attack, how were Utahs finest to know?

    Good on them I say what were they to do with a wide eyed, tongue out Tongan screaming into their face, they had a right to defend themselves and the public at large.

    They may have been demons!

    Goes way back.
    Probably began when those lovely Mormon [invaders] mossionaries had their way, attempting to proselytizing the Polynesian folk. Hence you'll find significant numbers of Samons, Tongans, NZ & Cook Island Maoris residing in the most unusual LDS locales.

    Fucking cults.

    Pacfic Rugby has become the dominate force throughout this sporting world, to the chagrin of all the others....
    Nonsense, also about the 'Samoan Haka'.

    seeing that Hawaii is actually part of the USA... and the university and almost all high schools teams do this dance here... it should not be foriegn to those cops... America has a polynesian state and the rest of country knows nothing about thier traditions and history which are now part of America.

    Haka is part of the American culture! Hawaii = USA

    cops have no excuse on this...

    I usually have no love for the police, but I swear to God, I don't wan't to see another "haka" in my life. It is one of the corniest and gayest fucking things I've ever seen, I get embarassed when I watch people do it, even when I'm alone at home, especially when white people do it.

    But this is the core of the problem, isn't it. Your education seems to have been, as appears to be the case with most Americans who have any real education to speak of, totally constricted to "World America'. Which is exactly what everybody is on about.

    And which is why Americans are some of the worlds least educated people. Including the high profile ones involved with the rest of the world.
    Which ends up with the world looking at "great America' and 'Great Americans' with bemusement.

    It's inbreeding, basically. As Butterfly says, same same Thai, just bigger guns and more debt. Really. Hi-So or Lo-So.

    Have to say, I also cringe watching grown white men dancing around like some lost tribe on a football pitch? And now everyone is going to do it! It's funny when they do all that yelling and screaming and tongue out stuff then get their arses kicked!

    I mean what relevance has it for half that team? They may as well have a big pot of boiling water on a fire at the side of the pitch and put bones in their nose while they are at it.

    Because many Americans have no interest or knowledge of an obscure Maori tribal dance they are lacking in education? Get real.

    No, it's because the have no interest in anything outside of the US, despite their ignorant governments' constant meddling in affairs which have fuck all to do with them and which they so obviously know fuck all about. If you're going to meddle, at least have people who actually have a clue - maybe 'import' some more Europeans like private industry has to do in the US.

    You're going to upset Humbert, he considers himself quite worldly and sophisticated don't you know, and for an American I'm sure he is.

    Again, your illogical generalizations show what a vacuous fool you are Marmite.

    No, it shows in thousands of little ways every day. And in really big ways all too often.

    And so, you have the analogy of the Haka dancing incident to prove that all Americans are uneducated and through their acquiesence, permit their intrusive government to trample on the rights of people everywhere. You are really pathetic.

    I was responding to Failsafe's post re education, my pompous American friend.
    I never mentioned the Haka. Be a man and lift your nose out of the easy details and see the large, menacing big picture.

    Care to show me the successful fruits of America's wonderful Foreign Policy? All stemming from their deep insight into and respect for foreign cultures, of course?

    We're not discussing America's foreign policy here. If you are looking to frame an argument about some larger truth from some trivial incident in Utah you are talking the wrong person.

    If you want to discuss 'the big picture', why don't you man up and lift your nose into a thread that's actually about something significant.

    This thread is evolving into something significant.
    The well documented fact that the IQ of the average American is below that of the average European or antipodean.

    If you think there are 'significant threads' on TD, I rest my case.

    No, its corny, goofy, embarassing, and should just go away. These fooking culture cunts are weird, I mean they talk about how the Thais and Americans are loud, stupid, etc; but many have willingly moved to Thailand. This shows me who the real losers are, they had to leave their so called cultured lands to get anything resembling a life, and had to do so by buying people off and eating their shit. Most people are too busy having a life to live then care about silly crap like this, only on the internet, amongst the no lifers is this stuff an issue. There own countries and culture are so dull, sterile, and safe they don't have nothing to discuss about it. Most of their people are old fucks just waiting to die off.

    Then you have your text book dumb fuck Brits giving their two cents, these are the people who did everything they could to destroy Maori culture, amongst many other cultures of the world. They made the Maori a minority in their own country, a poor and pathetic, now they are a gimmick for the "cultured" ones, just like this gay ass fucking dance.

    Sorry, mate, but you're the one always complaining about other people's lack of acceptance of culture; now it seems that you gripe is about other people not accepting your culture's demands while simultaneously you ignore, indeed belittle, the value of other people's culture...

    Sticking your tongue out, making stupid faces, gyrating your hips, and stomping your feet is culture? Who would have thought Kiss is the pinnacle of culture!
