So there's a risk the media won't go and we won't have any news coverage...oh well, that's private enterprise, just have to suck it up. And watch Fox News

Exactly. Go, don't go, who gives a fuck? The irony is the media selling woe-is-me news stories about the media being hard done by.

For the last few years i've worked waitangi day anyway, but when I don't have to I've got better things to do on my day off than watch a televised meeting, christ if
that's what they want to broadcast come over to my workplace during the week and fill your boots. Theres a shit ton if meetings every day.

Just why the media expect a sympathetic ear is mind boggling, how many people are done a misservice by these corporations on a daily basis? And now they want to rally support?

Make the corporate decision and get on with it.

Q: What did Jesus say to the Christians?

Yup me too. Sick to death of it all.

I especially hate that I am supposed to feel guilty, and 'pay/make reparation' because of what some other white folks ancestors did hundreds of years ago.

I'm Bulgarian FFS why should I give a shit about all this palava anyway?

I resent the quota system in tertiary education and I resent all the bullshit that seems to go on and on and on and on and frankly I believe it all amounts to divisive nonsense now.

Oh and Hone can get fucked...I put him in the same basket with that Brian Tamaki twat...no good for our country! YES I dared say OUR even though I'm an import...get the fuck over it NZ

Seriously will NZ ever grow up?!

Iam another against waitangi day (white-angry day has my vote) can we swap it for a national public day and call things even.... The maori seem to forget we gave them alot when we came they went from sticks to guns.... I think we should give them all the land back if they can give us an equal technological break through.... somthing everyone in the world can use and want..... Flying motorcycles sound right to me...

Top post in this thread.

Relegate the whole 'treaty' thing to where it belongs. An outdated concept that should have no relevance today.
And while we're at it - shitcan the monarchy...

Don't piss off the Maoris more. They'll just commit even more crime because they're angry they have lost their culture to black Americaness/are copying it, which involves higher rates of gangs/crime.

I asked one dude in a gangstered out car why he was copying black guys from America instead of being a happy go lucky BILLY T JAMES. He didn't even know who Billy T James was FFS! Talk about not knowing NZ culture, even from only a couple decades back.

I'm a born here import, (2 Swiss parents) though that's being a NZ'er. Since I grew up here, and you end up being most connected to the place you grew up, with dabbles of Swiss culture and a Swiss Passport (probably the place to bugger off to after Uni).

Agreed with giving them back land (all the Maoris who are a phenomenal 1/4 or 1/8 Maori by blood) and then taking away KFC. They'd come crawling back.

At Uni they get free laptops for just turning up! (That includes the 1/16ths who went to private schools...) Let alone if they'll even pass anything, and they usually end up taking stupid good for nothing BAs like all the women do (it's ok to mock women because they are more common in Uni... CAUSE THEY DO SILLY LITTLE BA's, honestly it should be a certificate not a degree!)

What they really should do, is use government funding to set up areas with Maori universities like other countries do. Give them a dose of their own culture so they don't copy AMERICANS! If you have a cultural identity (like us whities get!) then you'd feel more empowered to be educated. And then immerse them into the goodness of white culture (yay for corrupt police) and society would be much better for it. Then again teach someone too much about history of their oppression (like women studies) and then you end up with extremists like those feminists.

Pffffffft!

What are you all getting your knickers in a twist for? You should try living here at this time of year. As I post rent-a-mob is turning up. Over the next couple of days I will have some very intimidating people harassing me, whether they want something for free, don't like the cut of my jib or just like making a noise to impress their mates.

On the plus side I will also meet some educated, passionate & proud New Zealanders who are trying to find a voice for balance & for our future.

The revenue collected from the media is to aid the clean up after everybody leaves apparently. As I drove through Tii Bay this morning the whole beach was being cleaned, all the detritus from the weekends flooding has been piled up & it's looking sminky. The people doing the work appear to be volunteers, locals no doubt.

If the Marae needed financial assistance to host the celebrations I'm very suprised they decided to do something so inflammatory to get it.

I like the way how half these posts tell Maori to move on and get over it, and then those same posters go on to moan about Maori this, Maori that - just like they do on every post even mentioning the word Maori
