    you would have to be prepared to lift the snowmobile up some of the approach pitches on Mt Cook. but yeah, go for it.

    Yes exactly ..

    The white man's imaginary friends have been at this shit a lot longer than our dusky bretheren. Can't blame them for having their hands out where the body politic gives them the opportunity.
    Errrrrr ... I'm kinda thinking that the white man's imaginary friends are a lot younger than others ... Christianity, for instance, is only 2,000 years old ... the Mary Cult is much younger than that ...

    its exactly the same as having the presence of taniwah dictate the route and design of roads and bridges, or even better, "consultation" about "air taniwha" when you are trying to get an air discharge resource consent. Its all bullshit, of course, but a nice wee earner for some crooked politicians.
    Wish you'd picked some better examples - from other belief systems maybe ... or am I missing something ???

    Didn't pass reading comprehension at school did you ... "Aoraki" is named in the first line of the story of the first post of this thread ...

    I think you are trying to imply that I am a racist. Not so, or at least not consciously. I dislike politics, polititicans, hypocrisy, religion (all) and most people. Can't say fairer than that.

    by "at this" I mean leveraging their imaginary friends for pecunary gain, just so we're clear.

    those examples are examples of actual things that happened in NZ.

    If you want a counter-example (with the heading "white people problems" maybe) then read up on the crap surrounding the Angle can cathedral in christchurch. (though to be fair, the public face of teh Great Canterbury Buildings Trust is JimAnderton, the well-known communist and marxist, and lunatic catholic)

    Meh, I tend not to do too well at remembering other languages.

    Who did I criticise? You were saying something about reading comprehension

    No not at all ... anything but - exactly the opposite in fact ... I was agreeing with you .. you made a very relevent point.

    by "at this" I mean leveraging their imaginary friends for pecunary gain, just so we're clear.
    Oh ... OK. That's not what I thought you meant ..

    I had thought of the catrhedral example ... my point I think, was that you were making some sort of comparision witrh other belief systems .. but then your examples were all from Māori belief systems ... but then I didn't get that the point was pecunary ...

    I doubt that Anderton is a communist ... but I had a friend who was Catholic and Communist .. used to subscribe to People's Voice and a Catholic newspaper. WHen he lit the fire with both papers we watched the Pope and Karl Marx go up the chimney together ...

    I don't know about the respect for the mountain part of this or the Maori issues but I would be pissed if I climbed it and was near the top and some clown was hovering over the top in a chopper... threatening an avalanche that could kill me or anyone else in its path or just blow us off the mountain.

    Its a joke DOC is the one to pick up on this when they have turned a blind eye to other choppers hovering and buzzing valleys chasing down Tahr so the lazy yank can step out and shoot a near run to death animal, disrespecting the many in the valley trying to get away from the masses and be in the wilderness.

    Its always about the money, honey.

    Maybe Jimbo was "only" a socialist: socialist action party and such. Then who wasn't in the 70's? ;-)

    If the wings are travelling faster than the fuselage it is extremely dangerous, and therefore a helicopter.
