Cheers and Maori song as New Zealand OKs gay marriage

Post by zboy1 »

No matter if you believe in gay marriage or not, would you ever see Dems and Repubs in the United States, singing a Native American song in unity after passing a bill to legalize gay marriage? I'm going to say no....Total lack of unity in this country, in my opinion. Kinda of touching if you ask me:

So exactly what is there to unify in NZ? The sheep? With a population smaller than Washington state and more sheep than people, and most of the people with all the fire and heat of say...Canadians...and they managed to forge fudge packing unity? Impressive!
Seems like a silly fringe issue for people with too much time on their hands...
