Nothing extreme about it at all.

Politics are merely the expression and implementation of personal and societal values. They exist on a very wide continuum.

left<------------------Politics------------------>right

Where would you place "political correctness"? You seem to be suggesting that whoever you disagree with has a monopoly on the meaningless term

Laws isn't "anti PC". He's just a bastard who's politics stink to high heaven

Very good - I like it.... but the term actually as very little to do with specific political leanings or dogma.

As a concept it it's own right, with no political affiliations whatsoever, here's a nice defintion of it... or another nicer one I found... "The fervent assertion that's it's possible to pick up a turd buy the clean end".

He's able to address the societal issue without getting bound up in the minutea of a specific issue. A spade gets called a spade and I'm sure he'd rather be described as short than vertically challenged.

I don;t agree with all the things he says or does... but at least you know what the fuck he's getting at when he opens his mouth (which possibly explains his absence on KB...!)

I'm going to start spelling it Phanganui.

All Mahori drama again, good on Laws he is a no bullshit dude like him or loath him..

But again the same silly chant has begun again lead by a dip shit teacher using kids who really do not care at this time in their life on the crusade of whucken Whanganui..opps Wanganui..

In the Musem at Invers under all the drama "Treaty of Whaitangi" there is a large glass case with a book in side open at a paticular page.

The whording in this book clearly shows for all to see Wanganui was spelt without a H way back in 1800's not to be quoted but it was in 1867 or there abouts, there has never been a problem untill now. The Mahoris must of spelt it that way for it to be whritten down as such back when..

Years later the bugle blows, buggar me, it is the Mahori Great Grandson of whait for it... "General Mair "who led the wharge on the Mahoris" during the Mahori whars, whanting it spelt his way

The definintions in your link are both politically loaded though. Using the continuum above, I would suggest the first definition in your link would be more closely aligned to the left and the second definition aligned to the right.

The term itself is still a tired cliche that is ultimately meaningless

But if we accept it as it's written in you link, then what the fuck is wrong with aligning oneself to the aims stated in the first definition?

Those children didn't look very maori to me.

About 98% european by the look of them..

How many maori people do you need to know these days to be classed as one of them?

I once knew someone whose dad was in the Ruttles..

You can be adopted into the hapu can't you? That'll do. Get yourself some citizenship while you're at it, a few acres here and there, some fishing quota and a forest or two. Bingo!

"We can retire in Florida now, mister!"

Off topic: OMG The Goodies revisited.
