View Full Version : Lawyer advocating 10% less jail sentence for Maori

Yep, we have a lawyer stating that Maori should get lighter sentences because being Maori disadvantages them socially.
Wonder how far that caper will go?

Well he should get 50 or 60% less prison time because he's a career criminal. He's far more likely to find himself in the wrong place at the wrong time & likely to be judged harshly for all those repeat offences. It makes sense I think.
Then shoot the stupid cunt. that kid killed ain't coming back to life.

Dear PB&J sammich,
Playing the race card is affair based around a convolution of simplicity. Successful playment is when you opponent cannot refute such a card without being subject to a second dosery of the race card. However in cases like above, you have an all-in race card situation, whereby both sides have grounds to play the card against one another. How high will the stack of card go before it topples is anyone guess.

I just love this bit:
Christchurch defence lawyer James Rapley said Maori should receive shorter prison sentences because they come from an environment of social deprivation and inequality.
"Fifty-one per cent of the prison population is Maori," he told the Court of Appeal. "Everyone says everyone should be treated alike and equally, but not everyone is equal."
Well, no shit Sherlock.
And just how does reducing prison time for being Maori make "everyone equal"? Or I am I missing something here?

Maori have even more opportunities for support and success than any other racial group in NZ, just because of their race. Throughout my school and tertiary education, there have been extra programs and support specifically targeted at Maori students. Why don't white people get the same? The fact that Maori make up the majority of the prison population is because they are genetically more predisposed to commit criminal acts than any other race in NZ (well, maybe except for ragheads and North African coons, but that's a whole different thread alltogether).
This guy is obviously a muppet, just take a look at him. He deserves some proper South African style justice (mob lyncing and necklacing), not some pathetically weak sentence. How many other victims are there going to be at his hands once he is released from prison?

I fail to understand the problem. They broke the law. They got caught. Thankfully, they got sent to jail as a reasonable punishment (probably not long enough). Seems pretty fair to me. I don't care what the percentage break down is. If you broke the law, got caught and sent to jail, it's pretty simple.
Like someone currently (noticed it in the Herald app). Guy wants a lighter sentence because he feels it was harsh compared to others. I couldn't care less. Was it within the bounds of laws stipulating how long you could be sentenced for, for that crime? Yes? Then it's fine. Once again:

What I really don't like is the double standards that many Maori have. They're the first to pull out the race card when they don't get their own way, but then they say that they should be treated better/differently, just because they're Maori. They tend to be the most racist people in this country.*
*I'm not accusing all Maori of being like that. I've met many hard working Maoris who wouldn't even dream of pulling out the race card, and who don't expect preferential treatment for being Maori.

Smoky ie exactly right, there is the element of maori that wants it both ways, should only be one set of rules. Given 14% of the population commits most of the crime, and is half our prison population, punishment should in fact be a great deal more severe, in order to help those committing all the crime, understand that there are consequences for committing the bloody crime.
Only a few generations ago, moari were slave trading genocidal stone age cannabals, for whom the practice of infanticide was normal. Evolution moves slowly for some, hence the prison population ratio. Not all of them choose to be like that, and guess what, those ones are not, in jail.
We should have ONLY one rule of law. Don't care if you are black, brown, red, currie muncher, asian, raghead or other: ONE LAW ONLY!!!

So, in your estemed estimation, violent assualts, rape, murder, burglury are ok, and being maori means you should be allowed to carry out that kind of crime, and recieve a lesser punishment for it.

A better practice would be to charge the crims for their prison stays like in 18th century Britain.
This would help balance the books a bit and save the tax payers plenty. Presumably a 10% discount could be arranged for repeat offenders...

Totally agree with the first part, not sure about the genetically predisposed to offending though. However my daughters who are at UOA get totally pissed off with the ridiculous amount of support thrown at the Maori/island population when they get jack shit. So they like just about every other non ethnic student they do part time work to supplement their fees. When is it going to be one law for all, no if's or buts just a level playing field.

The government should stop sluts from breeding who are too poor to even feed themselves, let alone a whole tribe of unwanted offspring. Any chicks on the unemployment benefit/whatever the fuck you call it these days benefit should have their weekly handout reduced if they don't take monthly contraception injections to stop this cycle of child abuse and crime.

Shit will have to get quite serious before that action is taken though... to breed is still fiercely defended as a fundamental human right, rather than a privilege.
The majority of our problems have no basis in race, and race will continue to dwindle in importance as a factor as the real problem becomes too large to ignore. Of course the vast majority of humanity will be well fucked by then.
My advice to all is to make sure you are in the haves and not the have nots. There seems to be a pretty good chance that by doing so, you will be unaffected by most of this before you die, and after that, well it's just not your problem anymore. Result :woohoo:

Thousands of years of "evolution" (of mankind, not a creationist argument here) compared to a relatively short blip in the scale of time that people have been in charge of modern-day vehicles. History obviously has had it's share of "horse accidents, chariot accidents, boat accidents' etc. which have lead to death but not on the same likely scale of carnage as motor vehicles.
People have been popping out sprogs without question (issue of survival of the race, and all that) for so many millenia that you'd think we'd have perfected some sort of a system by now. Just goes to show that for all our so-called advanced civilisation many are still physically/mentally/emotionally stuck in the stone age when it comes to what causes boy thingies and girly thingies to meet and make baby thingies.
I don't know specifically about genetic or racial disposition - there are monumental losers in all races when it comes to humanitarian issues.

All good points, and becoming more and more relevant. Up till now it hasn't had much of an impact, but we can't keep filling all of the space on earth with (human) trash. Given that every race generates it, I don't see it as a racial issue. Yes Maori currently fill the prisons, and yes a breeding permit will curtail their population for a number of generations (on the assumption people who have been to prison are instantly removed from the breeding pool), but once the wheat is sorted from the chaff, they will undoubtedly bounce back, stronger than ever.
But that is some serious social engineering, and we'll have to royally fuck the place up before that can be considered by masses. Mind you, if they let that in, they can probably control the ethnic mix of people born here too. Hopefully we'll all be toffee coloured people by then and unlikely to give a shit :D
I dunno... I just can't see it playing out any other way when we're at 20, 30, 50 billion people... ok, one other way, but none of the previous world wars have done anything to cull the total population back long term, and an all out nuclear conflict wouldn't be moving humanity forward.
Take my advice, make sure you're a have, not a have not, and live out your life getting the most enjoyment you can. You can't do shit about it, so leave it as somebody elses problem... fingers crossed we'll all be dead before this sort of stuff can't be ignored :D

If I thought I was going to end up in a place like that for whatever offence I was planning on carrying out, I would be more inclined to take something with me that I could use to end the life of anybody who accidentally stumbled across me doing my nefarious business.
If I as a regular non criminal can join those dots, then a hardened criminal will presumably have no second thoughts about whacking you with a piece of pipe across the skull in an effort to stay out of there. The death sentence appears to have no effect (except on reoffending rates hahahaah), I don't see why this would be any different.

Canada's take on things.
http://www.justiceeducation.ca/research/aboriginal-sentencing/gladue-sentencing
If you have been charged with a crime and are an Aboriginal person, there are special cultural considerations that the court must take into account in assessing your case. This applies to all Aboriginal peoples of Canada, including status and non-status Indian, Inuit, and Métis and whether living on or off reserve.
What this means is that, as an Aboriginal offender, a restorative justice process may be more appropriate for you. Such processes focus on healing those affected by the criminal act, including the offender, and so are more in line with traditional Aboriginal justice. Also, a restorative justice approach will often allow for a solution with no jail time, which helps reduce the drastic over-representation of Aboriginals in Canadian jails.
This does not, however, mean that all Aboriginal offenders automatically qualify for lighter sentences than non-Aboriginal offenders. The principles of sentencing apply to all offenders equally, and so in many situations such a remedy will not be appropriate to the circumstances of the case.

Yeah, I get what you're writing about. Just to clarify though, I'm not talking about population control, just some formalised training/education about being a parent.
As far as the have and have not issue, that's a purely subjective. Each person has their own level and I dropped off the treadmill a while ago for a bit of a break and can safely say I'm getting the most out of my lifestyle at present. However, I may well go back to a fulltime job when I've achieved my short term goals.

Thousands of years of "evolution" (of mankind, not a creationist argument here) compared to a relatively short blip in the scale of time that people have been in charge of modern-day vehicles. History obviously has had it's share of "horse accidents, chariot accidents, boat accidents' etc. which have lead to death but not on the same likely scale of carnage as motor vehicles.
People have been popping out sprogs without question (issue of survival of the race, and all that) for so many millenia that you'd think we'd have perfected some sort of a system by now. Just goes to show that for all our so-called advanced civilisation many are still physically/mentally/emotionally stuck in the stone age when it comes to what causes boy thingies and girly thingies to meet and make baby thingies.
I don't know specifically about genetic or racial disposition - there are monumental losers in all races when it comes to humanitarian issues.

I'm not going to engage in this debate - the request by the lawyer is just bullshit - we joke about it sometimes .. but to take it seriously shows a profound misunderstadning on many levels .. so I'll let it go at that ...
Except for this ...
The fact that Maori make up the majority of the prison population is because they are genetically more predisposed to commit criminal acts than any other race in NZ
That's just BULLSHIT ... BULLSHIT and BULLSHIT ... there's no foundation for that stament ... it's complete racist bullshit ... much the same as "women have smaller brains than men and therefore should not be involved in politics and should not vote - they should stay home and look after the kids "

That's a complicated answer ...
Firstly, because lower socio-economic groups (poor people) are over represented in prison populations .. Māori make up a good chunk of our lower socio-economic groups .. so do poor people have a pre-disposition to commit crimes??? I think not ...
Secondly, it's a consequence of colonization - across the world colonized people are over represented in prison populations ... that does not excuse the behaviour - crime needs to be punished - but the long term social solutions to crime should be different ...
Now I will not use either of those factors to argue for more lenient treatment for Māori in the courts ... crime is crime and should be punished ... but the court system is not a level playing field for Māori ...
Studies like QUince's 1999 work are easy to find
Maori adults were 3.8 times more likely tob be prosecuted than non-Maori and 3.9 times more likely to be convicted of an
offence.
Nine times as many Maori than non-Maori are remanded in custody awaiting trial.
This does not mean that Māori commit more crimes - it means that, having been caught by police doing something wrong, they are more likely to be charegd than a non-Māori person .. and having been charged are more likely to be convicted than a non-Māori person ...
It means the police are less inclined to issue a warning, or offer diversion .. why ???
It means that a jury is more likely to view a Māori person as guilty than a non-Māōri person ... Why?? Jury seats are filled with racist shitheads like you or something ??
As well as disparities at the front end in the over-policing, charging and conviction of Maori, there are differences in the outcomes imposed on Maori in the criminal justice system. Seven times as many Maori as non-Maori are given a custodial
sentence upon conviction.
Maori are far less likely to be granted leave for home detention, or to receive a fiscal penalty.
Why ??? Why are Māori more likely to get a custodial sentence than non-Māori ???
Why should not Māōri get home detention - like the rest of the population??? Why do we get jailed instead of fined - fined like the non-Māori ???
It sure looks like a racist system to me ...
So, I am not defending Maori crime .. it occurs and it needs to be punished - But don't quote stats at me to show Maori are more likely to be criminals than non-Māori - the stats actually show the system is racist and favours non-Māōri ...

And you all think that Māori crime rates are bad .. have a look at this - also from Quince's study ...
In 2000, Maori males were the victims of 85 per cent more crime than pakeha males, and were 50 per cent more likely than them to have experienced acts or threats of violence. Maori females were the victims of twice as many crimes as pakeha females, and were twice as likely to have experienced acts or threats of violence from a partner.
So .. who does this crime affect ?? Us ... Māori ...
So is your concern for so called Māori crime rates" about your safety or ours??? .. This shows that we are the victims .. and I'm sure that racist shitheads like you are not that concerned with our safety ...
Your fears are media generated ... and the media is one fo the control mechainisms of the capitalist overlords .. You are just a tool of the ruling elite ... helping to keep the divisions that contrrol us alive and well.
Give it up .. we all oppose the ruling elite .. so give up your racist attitudes and maybe - just maybe - we can find a solution that will work .. for all of us .. the us that lives here .. not the us of Māōri or Pākehā but the US that inhabits these islands ..

I don't believe the justice system in NZ is racist enough to treat Maori worse than other racial groups based purely on their race, and not other factors such as a history of previous criminal offending which will factor into the decision to press charges, grant/deny bail or a term of imprisonment.
If the only difference between the races was skin colour and minor variations in body size and shape, and if people really are all the same regardless of race, then there wouldn't be any noticeable difference in the rate of criminal offending between the races since Maori have been living under "our" system for many generations and are well accustomed to living in "our" society with "our" rules.

1. As I've already said, throughout my school and tertiary education in NZ, there has been extra support targeted purely at Maori students. Things like extra student support, counselling, tutoring, cultural groups etc. I have not seen the same for any other racial groups.
2. I don't make the rules. If the system is really that racist, then you're talking to the wrong person about it.
3. There are obvious differences between the races. Body size and shape differs notably between the races meaning that we're not all physically the same.
4. All I've heard so far is excuses, and no one has yet been able to show me any convicing proof to state why Maori are involved in such higher levels of crime than non Maori. Since all other things remain equal (education, healthcare, etc), then the differences must be genetic. If Maori were discriminated against in the way that blacks were treated under Apartheid, then there would be justification for the higher crime rate, but since they're treated the same as ever other person (if not better) in a legal sense there shouldn't be any meaningful difference in crime per capita if genetics weren't a factor.
I've done a quick Google search on Maori child abuse (https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=maori+child+abuse&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a&channel=fflb&gfe_rd=ctrl&ei=aIqOUpDXE6yN8Qe67YHIAQ&gws_rd=cr). It seems like they beat their children at a disproportinately higher rate than non Maori too.
Note how in my post I haven't done a "Maori vs whites" comparison. I've chosen to compare Maori with "non Maori" in order to get a less "racist" comparison by involving other racial groups in NZ as well.

Those are some very valid points, assuming that Maori = poor. They could go out and get an education to make something of themselves, in the same way that non Maori in NZ frequently do. I do also understand that the poverty cycle can be extremely hard to break out of, but I don't see why that should be any more difficult for a Maori than a non Maori being brought up in a similarly financially disadvanted background.

This is very interesting, you state that the Maori female is incarcerated and the European female not. Both of whom had previous convictions and were given different sentences based on race.
Well I ask what previous convictions. To use this statement you must be aware of the number of previous convictions. Did both females have the same conviction history? How do you know, as a reporter I would be surprised if you were given a copy of previous convictions.
If I go against the norm and surmise that the European female had 10 previous convictions and the Maori female three previous and the outcome is as you put it then the sentencing is disproportionate to the offending and grounds for an appeal. Remember that was an example.
Then I move onto IF both females were the same in every respect, why wasnt a fine considered? Maybe both females had been given fines for their last offending, they both earn the same and have the same outgoings. The Maori female (for example) CHOOSES not to pay her fine but the European female CHOOSES to pay hers. If this example were true should they both be given the opportunity for a fine?
Also were the females also currently charged with other offences? It just intrigues me that you have chosen this example. The charge simpliciter carries a MAXIMUM of three months imprisonment.
If you want to throw accusations around I know of a Youth Court judge who is disproportionately softer to young Maori offenders. No I cant offer examples as my work life and my keyboard warrior life need to remain in two different plains.
As for who I think that the law favours, well I think its the peeps that are in court everyday (not the offenders) who win in the Justice system.

See .. there is no evidence of that - there is evidence of a disproportinate representation in prison populations .. that is not the same thing ...
I was merely pointing out the fact that statistically, Maoris are imprisoned at an exponentially higher rate than non Maori per capita.
Yes, that's it in a nutshell ...
With no other evidence you make the jump that Māori are more likely to be criminals .. I suggest that the studies show Māori are more likely to be imprisoned if they are caught ...
They could go out and get an education to make something of themselves, in the same way that non Maori in NZ frequently do. I do also understand that the poverty cycle can be extremely hard to break out of, but I don't see why that should be any more difficult for a Maori than a non Maori being brought up in a similarly financially disadvanted background.
Go here ... http://socialreport.msd.govt.nz/knowledge-skills/participation-tertiary-education.html
It's not hard to see that Māori have a higher participation rate in tertiary education are higher than Pākehā, except in the 20-24 years old age group ... and in the older age group the participation rate is even higher than Asians - traditionally a high user group of education .. and in three of the five groups Māori participation rates are above the national average
We are getting our people educated .. that is part of the long term solution - and we are currently getting a higher percentage of our people educated than of the Pākehā population ..
You're running on suppositions and myths that are easily dispelled.
I'm looking at all relevant factors I can think of, then looking at what's different between Maori and non Maori. The only difference I can find so far is genetic/racial.
And yet you refuse to accept factors which show the court system is biased against Māori and you have not looked at the participation in education stats?

Does it not make sense to you that when one group colonises another, the colonising force will put in place laws and structures which support their people? Take New Zealand out of the argument and I'm sure it'll be a similar situation in any colonised country. What's the bet native Britons were over-represented in the courts of the invading Romans. Surely then it makes sense that the effect of this compounds over the generations. It entrenches the cycle of poverty you have mentioned, and also creates the sort of stigma around genetic predisposition that you have invoked.
I believe that this is the cause of higher rates of incarceration for colonised peoples, not some mystical genetic propensity for 'crime'*.
* It also 'helps' when the invading force ciminalises native customs/traditions/behaviours - then they are all automatically criminals.

If I go against the norm and surmise that the European female had 10 previous convictions and the Maori female three previous and the outcome is as you put it then the sentencing is disproportionate to the offending and grounds for an appeal. Remember that was an example.
Then I move onto IF both females were the same in every respect, why wasnt a fine considered? Maybe both females had been given fines for their last offending, they both earn the same and have the same outgoings. The Maori female (for example) CHOOSES not to pay her fine but the European female CHOOSES to pay hers. If this example were true should they both be given the opportunity for a fine?
Also were the females also currently charged with other offences? It just intrigues me that you have chosen this example. The charge simpliciter carries a MAXIMUM of three months imprisonment.
If you want to throw accusations around I know of a Youth Court judge who is disproportionately softer to young Maori offenders. No I cant offer examples as my work life and my keyboard warrior life need to remain in two different plains.
As for who I think that the law favours, well I think its the peeps that are in court everyday (not the offenders) who win in the Justice system.

Does it not make sense to you that when one group colonises another, the colonising force will put in place laws and structures which support their people? Take New Zealand out of the argument and I'm sure it'll be a similar situation in any colonised country. What's the bet native Britons were over-represented in the courts of the invading Romans. Surely then it makes sense that the effect of this compounds over the generations. It entrenches the cycle of poverty you have mentioned, and also creates the sort of stigma around genetic predisposition that you have invoked.
I believe that this is the cause of higher rates of incarceration for colonised peoples, not some mystical genetic propensity for 'crime'*.
* It also 'helps' when the invading force ciminalises native customs/traditions/behaviours - then they are all automatically criminals.
It's not like Maori are forced to accept the Pakeha ways though. They have full control on whether they accept and involve themselves in their traditional culture or whatever else is available.

Well that's not actually true now, and it certainly wasn't true immediately after initial colonisation. That is the myth of multi-culturalism. Yes, we are a country that has many cultures living within it, but our significant social structures (tax system, justice system, land ownership, schooling, etc.) are solidly mono-cultural and built on the British, Anglican, Capitalist model. I cannot fathom how multiple cultures with often conflicting systems could truly live together, bit I do know that pretending they can or do doesn't work.

See .. there is no evidence of that - there is evidence of a disproportinate representation in prison populations .. that is not the same thing ...
Yes, that's it in a nutshell ...
With no other evidence you make the jump that Māori are more likely to be criminals .. I suggest that the studies show Māori are more likely to be imprisoned if they are caught ...
Go here ... http://socialreport.msd.govt.nz/knowledge-skills/participation-tertiary-education.html
It's not hard to see that Māori have a higher participation rate in tertiary education are higher than Pākehā, except in the 20-24 years old age group ... and in the older age group the participation rate is even higher than Asians - traditionally a high user group of education .. and in three of the five groups Māori participation rates are above the national average
We are getting our people educated .. that is part of the long term solution - and we are currently getting a higher percentage of our people educated than of the Pākehā population ..
You're running on suppositions and myths that are easily dispelled.
And yet you refuse to accept factors which show the court system is biased against Māori and you have not looked at the participation in education stats?
If Maori people are more likely to be in education compared to non Maori, then I accept that fact and won't argue with it. I still don't believe the courts in NZ are racist enough to be several times more likely to sentence a Maori to a term of imprisonment compared to a non Maori, assuming all other facts remain equal in relation to criminal history, perceived level of remorse, victim impact statements and whatever goes into the sentencing considerations. If that's not the case, then we do have a very big issue of racism in NZ that is beyond the scope of my knowledge.
Why is it that Maori children are more likely to be abused than non Maori? " Māori children, especially those living in urban areas, were disproportionately represented in suspected and reported cases – nearly 12 per 1,000 Māori children aged below 16 compared with nearly 6 per 1,000 non-Māori" (http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/child-abuse/page-1)
"Across the country, Maori children were abused at a rate far higher than expected, given their proportion in the population of children." (http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/8987072/Areas-with-the-highest-rates-of-child-abuse)
"Whanau Violence Statistics
Half of all children killed by caregivers are Maori.
Seven times more young Maori women and four times more Maori children are
hospitalised from an assault compared to Pakeha women and children.
49% of Maori women experienced partner abuse at some time in their life, compared
with 24% of Pakeha and 23% of Pacifica women." (http://www.google.co.nz/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CC8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.areyouok.org.nz%2Ffiles%2FUpd ated_Stats_Final.pdf&ei=BruOUp30LsWFiQf75oGoBA&usg=AFQjCNHp_B0MxGSxminz0r64qhLojPoYBg&bvm=bv.56988011,d.aGc&cad=rja)
"It was concluded that Maori, and in particular those of sole Maori cultural identity, were at higher risk of exposure to physical punishment and inter-parental violence, and that the associations could not be fully explained by either socio-economic deprivation or exposure to family dysfunction in childhood." (http://www.msd.govt.nz/about-msd-and-our-work/publications-resources/journals-and-magazines/social-policy-journal/spj36/36-ethnic-identity-and-exposure-to-maltreatment-in-childhood.html)

So you'd rather have Maori running around killing and eating one another (https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=maori+cannabalism&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a&gfe_rd=ctrl&ei=Y7yOUr_gJcfC8geM14CoBw&gws_rd=cr#q=maori+cannibalism&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&spell=1) like they did before European colonization?

I'm not sure how you inferred that from what I wrote.
Just out of interest though: what's the moral differentiation between killing someone with your hands and eating them in a cultural rite, and the sort of colonisation and mass murders carried out by the British Empire? How about the hundreds of millions killed during the slave trade? How about your heroes the Nazis and the way that they rounded up men, women, children and baked them in ovens. Is this the modern society you are talking about?
The point I was making in the quote you referred to is simply: those who make the rules, make them to suit themselves (and their children).

I'm against murder in general, and as a reasonably advanced society (in comparison to others, such as the ragheads), we have come up with better, peaceful solutions to out problems, negating the need for excessive violence. I am in no doubt that the European settlers did kill many "natives", both in NZ and other colonial empires, and I'm not condoning this behaviour. I don't think there was any race in history that doesn't have an incredibly brutal, bloody past.
What the Nazis did to the Jews wasn't really any different from what the Japanese and Russians did in WW2 to both their own people and their enemies. The African blacks were also exploited during the slave trade, and it's something that should never have happened. I hope that we have learned from this so such atrocities never happen again.
For any society to function in a relatively peaceful manner, we certainly need rules in place which everyone must abide by, unless you want to live in a total state of anarchy. Now these rules might not suit everyone, but without them we will be in a war zone, not too different from what is happening in parts of Africa and the Middle East at the moment.

much the same as "women have smaller brains than men and therefore should not be involved in politics and should not vote - they should stay home and look after the kids "

:D
All other things remaining equal, this is proof that Maori are more genetically predisposed to crime than non Maori in NZ. If it's not genetic, then what is it, a mere coincidence?
come on... you're usually the first to bring out "correlation≠ causation"...
I don't believe the justice system in NZ is racist enough to treat Maori worse than other racial groups based purely on their race
how much involvement have you had with it? cos i've had a fair bit. it helps that i'm a light skinned ho, despite my 10 inch cock, but i've seen the workings of it...
tell me smokey, are you "allowed" to speak te reo in a crackeroo court?
does nz "law" line up with tikaanga? will a crackeroo court hear a case under any jurisdiction but crackeroo?
If the only difference between the races was skin colour and minor variations in body size and shape, and if people really are all the same regardless of race,
actually. you're melanin deficient.
sorry smokey, the test results are back.... it's vitaligo...turns out you're 80% coon.
then there wouldn't be any noticeable difference in the rate of criminal offending between the races since Maori have been living under "our" system for many generations and are well accustomed to living in "our" society with "our" rules.
there probably is no difference in rates of offending. that's not shown, what's shown is what's processed. which is, unquestionably, more maori than non-.
I was merely pointing out the fact that statistically, Maoris are imprisoned at an exponentially higher rate than non Maori per capita.
i dont think anyone's questioning that.
For example: I do not know why Jews all have big noses, but for me to decide that it must be because they have too much money, just isn't illogical.
it's to sniff out money...:innocent:
It's not like Maori are forced to accept the Pakeha ways though. They have full control on whether they accept and involve themselves in their traditional culture or whatever else is available.
yes. yes it is like that. that's what the blue gang are for. to ensure as far as possible that everyone is complying with crackeroo "law"

the "crown" has "claimed" all "land" in "new zealand" (and all the animals, fish, resources, air and anything else that may turn a profit) and if you want to exist on it or use it, you gotta pay. with moeny. jew money.
you could bust out the "fly under the radar" which many people hope to, many people even achieve, but that's not free-ay-dom.
1) this "urban"" thing. doesn't quite line up with traditional values, certainly not traditional lifestyles. a fairly similar thing happened with the abos in oz. give them a white mans house, white mans car, all the modern trappings, but there's no community. the need for money drives people further away from the marae, and it ends up drifiting apart. the need for money has people working >40 hours a week (50% of that is for the government, to perpetuate the system, tptb thanks you) instead of a subsistence lifestyle, which is about 10 hours a week,(white science has confirmed this) and working close to home with close friends/family (and some people you dont like. like dicks).

OK, I admit that I don't know much about the courts as I've never been a defendant before, and I hope to keep things that way and "below the radar" of the corrupt system that frequently makes criminals out of ordinary people, and criminals into "someone who isn't really accountable because they're a victim of their circumstances". From what I understand, Te Reo is accepted in some courts (maybe not enough courts?, but since Maori are generally more proficient at English than their own language, is this really a bad thing?).
There's more to different races than just skin colour alone. Animals (and humans) are known to develop physical changes to their body in response to environmental conditions over many generations. Ever noticed how black Africans are generally bigger than Asians, and how white people are generally about in the middle? Or how Inuits are generally quite short in order to preserve body heat more efficiently?
Maybe we do need separate courts to deal specifically with Maori vs. Maori disputes, provided both parties agree to this system prior to commencement of proceedings if it makes you lot feel any better. I agree that the white mans way of capitalism has serious flaws, and I can understand why it can have extremely negative effects on the Maori and general community. I also don't like the fact that I will have to live to work, not the other way around. It's the Jews.

You can rent one of the rooms in my new house.
In 10 years ill give you one, and maybe a mattress. But youre not allowed to use the water or electricity in my new house unless you pay me. And. Just arbitrarily, you and your family cant use coffee or sugar, cos drugs are bad hmkay? And you have to walk slowly in my new house. And you must fill out lots of forms for all these priviledges.

no. Bought in late 1800s by nuns or apothocaries. Whitelawed ~ 30s when the jew S of A were putting the smackdown on jazz niggers.

10% less jail?
Seems even on 1 proviso - 10% less convicted.
Perhaps do a double or nothing trial. If they reduce sentences on Maori and evaluate over a year. If the rate of convictions drops by 10% then they keep it as the new standard. If its 0-10% change. They evaluate for another year.
If there is an increase of crime they add 20% to all sentences the following year and see what happens.
Seem fair? Effectively carrot & stick approach.
Or 10% less sentences and bring back the death penalty for multiple-repeat, horrific, offenders (black, white, purple....who cares).
Or 10% less on all sentences, but 10% less perks in prison. Swap TV's for books. Remove dessert.

Yes - you are corerect
The Court of Appeals has ruiled that the version written in te reo Māōri is the legitimaet one ..
The five judges who decided the case said:
A treaty is a binding agreement between two peoples.
To be binding bioth sides have to understand what they agree to. (basic principle of contract laws)
The Pākehā understood both the Māori and English versions (they wrote it)
Māori only understood the reo Māori version
So the treaty is the reo Māori version.
And also ... the signatures are on the Māori version .. not the English version
The Māori version grants us tino rangatiratanga ... your Government has no legitimacy ...

What injustice, when a land is colonised its game over. Why should they get a prize for being second.
Because unlike a lot of other wars, there wasn't a winner. Winners get to make rules, losers get to live by them. Unfortunately, the sides in this case decided to come to an agreement (except they had different agreements in mind).
And this is why we sit some 150 years later still unable to fucken move on, get over it and be productive.

Actually not all of us belong to the Perpetual Grievance Industry. Many of us focus on being productive instead and paying our own way and not expecting handouts on the basis of what a bunch of long-dead people did or didn't do, say, write, sign, believe, posture, extort or grant.

Māori economy worth $36Bilion dollars annually ...
Higher percentage of Māori in tertiary education than Pākehā ...
Māori highest percentage of entrepreneurs of any group in the WORLD ...
Plus a few more ,, but that will do for now ...

Your post 76: Not validated by info when challenged by jahrasti. It sounded more like John Key, "Unsure, unsure..."

Let me deal with this one - it's quick and easy. I was in court, as I said ... I have a clear memory of the sentences, and I thoyught at the time it was racist ... I can't back that up from memory - but I do know that it was commented on elsewhere ...
Yes, I'm unsure .. I don;t think there is anythign wrong with being unsure .. and I am not sure I want to devote the time and energy to back up what I said here.
Buit I fail to see how pointing to an event that happened in the recent past (i.e. my lifetime) means that I am "stuck in the past" - that challenge is usually leveled at people stuck inthe 19th century. In this context I refute the challenge. It is about dealing with issues that occur in today's world.

It comes across as stuck in the past Bb. You don't see me going on about my ancestor killed in the Battle of Gate Pa for example but perhaps I should.
There's a process and resources in place to enable people to move ahead.

At a guess Jews make up less than 1% of the world population, funny thing is that they always seem to be involved in about 99% of world problems!
Or is that simply because they are so prominent in things like media, music, theatre, movies, politics, law, weapons, banking, medicine, education, ETC ETC ETC!
Maybe it's just my imagination but sometimes it seems that Akzle does have a point! :rolleyes:

Try 0.2%. IMHO, the anti-Jewish sentiment probably boils down to the very human feelings of fear and jealousy with a bit of religious competition thrown in.
Other races feature prominantly in all the facets you wrote of, for example Chinese and Indian, but there's a lot less Jews doing very well so that's a "problem" to some in itself.

A better practice would be to charge the crims for their prison stays like in 18th century Britain.
This would help balance the books a bit and save the tax payers plenty. Presumably a 10% discount could be arranged for repeat offenders...
We are first we have to privatize the prisions then we the tax payers pay for the people in the prisions then the profits go to the company running the scheme
The more in jail the more profit
Nail em up i say especially if i have shares in the prision scam

The "stuck 150 years ago" mindset is not ours ...
Who's "ours"
Of course, if neither side thinks it's their fault, it's never going to be fixed either. There are enablers on both sides and it takes two to tango. Sure, plenty of success like you list (which is good) and the big tribes are run like businesses, with investment advice, their positions etc.
There are still elements running around seeking compensation... uh, they weren't alive right back (unless they're referring to events earlier in the 20th century). Either way, I don't really care. The government, or general populace of the country shouldn't be enabling the claims either. Now, the way the Australians treat the Aborigines is hardly a good model to emulate, but there needs to be a balance.
Both sides should be finalising claims and being done with it.

OK .. this is a relativerly easy one to deal with too ...
Here I was answering Smoke's question about why there is a high rate of doemtstic violnce. I was attempting, in a very short answer, to get axcross the kind of mindset that some peoppel have - and that leads them to domestic violence.
I would stress that I was not pushing my own mindset. I work in educastion to try to change that mindset and get people moving forwards ...
However - from the other culture here - "those who do not know their history are bodn to repeat it". We rememebr our history - because it informs the present. It makes us who we are today.
The dominant culture has a different view of time and narrative from Māori culture. All our words for the past sound like the future
Mai rāno = the days come again ...
Nga ra o mua - The days in front ...
As we try to frame these concepts in English we get accussed of staying in the past - well yes, our past is us, it is all around us, it is our future as well. THis does not mean that we are stuck in the old ways - of course we move forwards. Te Ao hurihuri ...
Māori had the highest rate of literacy acquisistion in the world ... so much for today's poor educational achievement ...
In 1860 there were something like 60 Māori-owned trading ships working out of New Zealand ... the Waikato was farmed by Māori owners and the goods shipped to Auckland on Maori-owned river barges and sold in Auckland or shipped across the Tasman on Maori-owned ships to be sold in Ozz .. My own tipuna grow wheat, milled it in their own mills, sold the flour to the Pākehā - along with fruit from Māori-owned orchards, loads of firewood gathered from the ngahere ...
Our tipuna jumped into the new capitalist world with both feet ...
Which past do you think we want to return to? The tribal society of pre-contact or the healthy capitalist world of the 1800s?
Did you know that Māori are the single biggest shareholder group in Fonterra? New ZEaland's largest company and Māori are the single biggest shareholder group ... And they didn't get those shares through a treaty claim ... and there are plenty of other business examples ...
Second, the chance to delevop in the modern world was taken from us by the colonization of the 1800 and 1900s .. a huge loss of land meant a huge loss of economic power. At the time, western writers were saying that Colonization was unethical - and the British Colonial office certainly ordered Hobson not to sign a treaty - becauser the British Crown recognised the declaration of Independence - and yet the white people here acted unethically and Hobson ignored his orders ...
Imagine where we would be if we had been allowed to develop as we were already doing ... where woudl Māori be in today's world? But all that was taken by the imigrant Pākehā - and Pākehā have continued to benefit from that ... we see that all the time - every day - is it any wonder some of us are angry ?? And then we get accussed of having "more opportunities" handed to us .. that is such bullshit ... and just rubs in salt ... The Pākehā world took our whole world, and now dribbles a few crumbs from the table and calls it "advantages" ... Isd it any wornder some of us are angry ...
By the mid 21st Centrury the total treaty settlement process had cost this country less than one year's profit from Telecom ... around $700million dollars - Telecom earned more than that the year I saw those statistics ... (I'm not sure what the current comparison is) How come this company gets to make $700million dollars in just one year but the white people begrudge the same amount to Māori ??? The tax alone from this company paid during the years of the treaty process has more than covered the total treaty settlements ...
How much tax do you think the Maori shareholders in Fonterrra pay each year ?? And yet the treaty settlements are begrudingly handed out - and we get accussed of wanting hand outs all the time ...
the white world earns millions each year in this country - but begrudges the small amount paid out in treaty settlements- fuck, the Māori ecomony is worth abiout $36buillion in this country - so that ecomony contributes, (at a rough calculation of 33%) $11billion annually in taxes ... adn yet $1billion in treaty settlements is seen as Maori demanding hand outs all the time ..
And we see the past all around us - you mention Gate Pa .. it sits on the hill and people can see, every day, the reminders of the past ... all of us live on land that was once ours - but unfairly taken by the Pākehā - sure there were legitimate sales .. but also plenty of blood and death - the slaying of our people ... Every year in New Zealand in April we recognise the events of the past - called WARS ... should we forget that past and move forward? WWI was 100 years ago - ancient history - forget it ... (no, seriously we should remember that) But when we remember our past, the Māori past - we are wrong and get told to forget the past ...
Most Pākehā in this country slightly remember the Highland Land clearances, the Irish "troubles" ... but they are not surrounded every day by the pyshical reminders of those events .. nor are they forced, every day, to speak the language of the invaders ... act in ways demanded by the invaders ... Most Pākehā in this country have been cut off from their past by the move to the other side of the world
Scotland sings Flower of Scotland as their anthem .. a reference to William Wallace ... 100s of years in the past - How come Scottish people in Sotland rememebr that past - but Scottish descent people here have forgotten it? So - Scotland is allowed to remember events of the distant past but Māori are not allowed to remember events of less that 200 years ago??
You want us to forget the past and move on ... but the solutions to today's issues lies in recognizing the past and dealing with those issues ... If we do not, then those issues will remain ... South Africa had a brilliant solution - the Truth and Reconciliation Commision process allows that country to move forward ... they did not forget their past - they recognized it and dealt with it ..
About time we did the same thing here ... just a small example, unless we rercognize and deal with the past we will always have angry people who commit domestic violence and child abuse ... and high rates of alcoholism and drug abuse ...
Unless we deal with propoganda from the past that white people still carry and recognise that Māori are not stupid lazy and genetically inclined to crime, we will always have a racist society
Unless we deal with the propoganda that says the white society's way is the best way ... then we will always have systems and processes that discriminate against Māori. Unless we deal with the past we will never move forward in appropriate and productive ways.
Shit - as I go back and edit this I keep aqdding stuff - and my anger increases .. I don't need this shit - I need coffee. Ka mutu tēnei kōreo.

In fact, in the 2006 census the largest number of Māori entrepreneurs were in the Finance and Insurance Sector and the second biggest group was in the Communications Sector (2degrees is a Maori-owned company - how many of you who subscribe to 2degrees know it is Māori owned?) ...
This kind of racist shit just makes me angry .. I'm out for a while ...
(But I do need to correct something I said .. Māori are not the largest entreprenurial group by percentage in the world - in 2011 they were the third largest).

(I'm not sure what the current comparison is) How come this company gets to make $700million dollars in just one year but the white people begrudge the same amount to Māori ??? The tax alone from this company paid during the years of the treaty process has more than covered the total treaty settlements ...
How much tax do you think the Maori shareholders in Fonterrra pay each year ?? And yet the treaty settlements are begrudingly handed out - and we get accussed of wanting hand outs all the time ...
the white world earns millions each year in this country - but begrudges the small amount paid out in treaty settlements- fuck, the Māori ecomony is worth abiout $36buillion in this country - so that ecomony contributes, (at a rough calculation of 33%) $11billion annually in taxes ... adn yet $1billion in treaty settlements is seen as Maori demanding hand outs all the time ..
And we see the past all around us - you mention Gate Pa .. it sits on the hill and people can see, every day, the reminders of the past ... all of us live on land that was once ours - but unfairly taken by the Pākehā - sure there were legitimate sales .. but also plenty of blood and death - the slaying of our people ... Every year in New Zealand in April we recognise the events of the past - called WARS ... should we forget that past and move forward? WWI was 100 years ago - ancient history - forget it ... (no, seriously we should remember that) But when we remember our past, the Māori past - we are wrong and get told to forget the past ...
Most Pākehā in this country slightly remember the Highland Land clearances, the Irish "troubles" ... but they are not surrounded every day by the pyshical reminders of those events .. nor are they forced, every day, to speak the language of the invaders ... act in ways demanded by the invaders ... Most Pākehā in this country have been cut off from their past by the move to the other side of the world
Scotland sings Flower of Scotland as their anthem .. a reference to William Wallace ... 100s of years in the past - How come Scottish people in Sotland rememebr that past - but Scottish descent people here have forgotten it? So - Scotland is allowed to remember events of the distant past but Māori are not allowed to remember events of less that 200 years ago??
You want us to forget the past and move on ... but the solutions to today's issues lies in recognizing the past and dealing with those issues ... If we do not, then those issues will remain ... South Africa had a brilliant solution - the Truth and Reconciliation Commision process allows that country to move forward ... they did not forget their past - they recognized it and dealt with it ..
About time we did the same thing here ... just a small example, unless we rercognize and deal with the past we will always have angry people who commit domestic violence and child abuse ... and high rates of alcoholism and drug abuse ...
Unless we deal with propoganda from the past that white people still carry and recognise that Māori are not stupid lazy and genetically inclined to crime, we will always have a racist society
Unless we deal with the propoganda that says the white society's way is the best way ... then we will always have systems and processes that discriminate against Māori. Unless we deal with the past we will never move forward in appropriate and productive ways.
Shit - as I go back and edit this I keep aqdding stuff - and my anger increases .. I don't need this shit - I need coffee. Ka mutu tēnei kōreo.
So what you are trying to say (with all this them and us talk) is that you are genetically totally Maori.
Maybe we all need coffee!

That is so wrong and demeaning - even if you meant it as a joke it just perpetrates the racist bullshit of the white world ...
In fact, in the 2006 census the largest number of Māori entrepreneurs were in the Finance and Insurance Sector and the second biggest group was in the Communications Sector (2degrees is a Maori-owned company - how many of you who subscribe to 2degrees know it is Māori owned?) ...
This kind of racist shit just makes me angry .. I'm out for a while ...
(But I do need to correct something I said .. Māori are not the largest entreprenurial group by percentage in the world - in 2011 they were the third largest).
Of course I meant it as a joke, and you know what else perpetuates the racist bullshit? Your continued segmentation of groups in an us vs them tone. Why are you allowed to make make false stats claims about 'your' group, and then get all up in arms when I make light of one of the true (correct me if I'm wrong though) stats 'your' group exhibits?
Racial segmentation should be treated with scorn, and consigned to irrelevance. And of course this has to go both ways, you get on your high horse about Maori, you should be taken down a few pegs, smokeu or someone else gets all whitesupremacy and they should also be taken down a few pegs. I'm with Zedder, grow up dude, you're coming off as the most racist one here.

Try 0.2%. IMHO, the anti-Jewish sentiment probably boils down to the very human feelings of fear and jealousy with a bit of religious competition thrown in.
Other races feature prominantly in all the facets you wrote of, for example Chinese and Indian, but there's a lot less Jews doing very well so that's a "problem" to some in itself.
Remember the old Protocols of Zion? Much of which in hindsight certainly makes you think!

Māori economy worth $36Bilion dollars annually ...
Higher percentage of Māori in tertiary education than Pākehā ...
Māori highest percentage of entrepreneurs of any group in the WORLD ... Yet, still this (http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/9453331/Funding-boost-for-Maori-schools).
All aboard!

I never said it was an adjective.
If i call you A JEW its because you exhibit jew traits, like fucking people over to get money.
Like if i call you A FAG, im not actually implying you are a bundle of sticks, nor a hommo sexcual, just that youre exhibiting fag traits.
Fags you can burn. Jews you have to gas.
Jewes are the fuckers you have to watch out for.

Way back that stuff was distributed as funny little paperback booklets, I guess the "modern" E-sites are the equivalent!
I first became acquainted with these subjects in my early years.
As I was growing up post WW2, I was trying to work out/understand how on earth the Hitler/German holocaust situation could have occurred!
During my teens as an apprentice I worked in the laboratory at the Woburn railway workshops.
One of the key laboratory men there was a Zionist Jew and he let me have space for my Coca Cola in his refrigerator on the condition that I sold his Zionist raffle tickets!
His name was Alex ... (long since dead) and was a really nice wee guy when you got to know him.
We had some really good discussions about the Nazi/Jew/Zionist situation (he had the number on his arm etc) and interestingly all of it was not in favour of the Jews.
As a person I learned to like and respect Alex and appreciate him as an individual and learned a lot from him.
If I or anyone else were to express an opinion of any Jewish situation on this or any other forum it would be immediately Jumped on and sent to PD!
It is that sort of reaction that makes one think that there is a certain amount of truth to claims made within documents such as the protocols of Zion etc.
It's always an interesting subject which requires one to adopt a neutral attitude when studying it or you will just get bogged down and entrenched. :confused:

See. You really should learning, after 40 odd years of espousing these issues, that your brand of politics is no longer wanted in this country. We have won. We have won the propoganda war, and we have won the battle. It is our world. We control the general population. The replies you recieved should tell you that.
Go back to your motorcycles, your fishing and wait to retire. We will let you do that. Go quietly before the new agreement with the USA. Once that is signed we will not be able to offer such good advice to people like you.

You just sit there in your little win bubble, as I fully intend to hand out pins one day in the not too distant future. Then we'll see if the majority prefer your world, ya know, once the people been offered an alternative and asked.

Yeah .. I have two Anerican Indian flat bows and a Commanche copy horse back bow ...
Very silent and deadly
Compound bows are deadly accurate tho' .. I could not believe how accurate I was the first three shots made on one. I was immediately as accurate with the compound as I was with any of my flat bows.

i think youll find friday afternoons arent random. And do in fact, follow friday beforenoons.
Compounds are also quicker, carrying more energy on a flatter trajectory. Energy slightly irrelevant since we're aiming for blood loss and trauma,
youre not a member of the nz horesback archery society are ya?!
Id pick odds on a 1:3 ambush with compounds. But if lone wolfing it id take the recurve. I should finish the stock for my xbow too.

No, I don't like horses .. fucking thngs stand on your when they are happy and kick you when they are pissed - and they shit everywhere ..
The horseback bow is short tho', meant for shooting from a horse without digging the bottom of the bow into the horse ... ride up alongside a BIson and fire and arow into it ... it packs a lot of punch ... kicks in my hands too - tho' it is only 40pounds ... I bought it from someone who didn't want it - got it cheap ...
Do you build bows?

try an old scots longbow. About 6ft and a straight stick. Considering the average scot was 5ft, their archers could pull the bow into a 'D'...
Not at the moment. Its on my to do list. And ive plenty of willow to cut.
Used to, running around playin crackers and murrays...
There was one i always espied, named/branded 'victory', very light wood laminate, 56" 45lb. First and last bow i robin hooded with.
