Hi ppl,

I have been a long time reader of this fun forum and have recently registered. I am from Hamilton NZ, mormon central of New Zealand, as you may have read I am younger brother of Lamanite descendant. I am also Maori with a hint scottish and the rest is English. We Kiwi's are a straight up and down type. kind of like the Aussies except better at sports :p
maybe our national anthem can sum us up?

God of nations at thy feet
In the bonds of love we meet
hear our voices we entreat
God defend our free land
guard pacifics triple star
from the shafts of strife and war
hear her praises heard afar
God defend New Zealand

(Men of ev'ry creed and race
Gather here before Thy face,
Asking Thee to bless this place,
God defend our Free Land.
From dissension, envy, hate,
And corruption guard our State,
Make our country good and great,
God defend New Zealand.

Peace, not war, shall be our boast,
But, should foes assail our coast,
Make us then a mighty host,
God defend our Free Land.
Lord of battles in thy might,
Put our enemies to flight,
Let our cause be just and right,
God defend New Zealand.

Let our love for Thee increase,
May Thy blessings never cease,
Give us plenty, give us peace,
God defend our Free Land.
From dishonour and from shame
Guard our country's spotless name
Crown her with immortal fame,
God defend New Zealand.

May our mountains ever be
Freedom's ramparts on the sea,
Make us faithful unto Thee,
God defend our Free Land.
Guide her in the nations' van,
Preaching love and truth to man,
Working out Thy Glorious plan,
God defend New Zealand.)

I have a keen interest of finding out truths in all things. I want to learn and understand by learning about all different points of view on subjects so I can form somewhat educated opinions.
I enjoy what I have read on this site and look forward to increasing my understanding of things to come by being in this forum.

Maybe he was trying to remember the words to that glorious song!

That is better than our anthem and should be in the hymn book!!!

What is the story behind it's writing?
