So now we've got some Gisborne Maori on the news that wants to paint Captain Cook out of the picture because she doesn't like the idea of her peepiw being "discovered"
Maybe someone should mention the Moriori's.

If her peepiw had been discovered by cannibals she wouldn't have much to complain about now.

Should they be rounded down? Or rounded off?

At the end of the day captain cook "discovering" NZ is a significant enough thing to happen in aotearoa to commemorate. Also you need to read some history on the morioris.
I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

I was taught at school in the '70's that they were the original inhabitants of NZ and that the Maori's ate them, but I think the true history of this country is being buried by people with an agenda, so I don't doubt you could possibly turn up a different record of how events went down.

...in the beginning there was a couple of bushy rocks, big fucking rocks...there were smaller rocks too...there was much verdancy and fucking big, and frightening birds...then a bunch of wanderers in hollowed out logs washed up on the rocks...their dogs immediately shit on their new home and the wanderers lit a big fire...it went for a long time...then some time down the chronological track, another bunch of wanderers hove to near the rocks, shit themselves and fucked off...a little more time went past and then some more wanderers turned up, let their pigs and rats go, painted some pictures and hung a hanky up on a stick, calling these rocks somebody else's and we don't give a fuck...then the story unfolds with the normal dramas of being slightly relieved of your country and shit...but that's history...written by the victor, disputed by the vanquished...don't ya love it...History. I mean...

Being from Irish decent I tend to agree with her.
However I dislike that Taika Waititi bleating that we are racist and not pronouncing place names correctly...he can fuck off.
I also wonder about why they have the Commonwealth games as the only ones who got wealth were the fecking British.
The only other thing I wondered about today was why people waste money buying KTM 990's which clearly are so uncomfortable that the very
sight of gravel sends them into stand up mode.

You're so out of fucking touch. It's not fucking 1970. Here's a bit of bedtime reading for you. Do try and get out of the dark ages.

So someone's got a life story. Sorry, I've missed your point entirely.

Possibly any country that Europeans invaded disadvantaged the existing population.
Its too late to turn the clock back and probably would have been worse if the Dutch or French got a foothold.
The Irish suffered from years of British rule and were treated badly and sent to Prison colonies, seem to have done ok since
they left.

At least Europeans short circuited their discovery of the wheel.
