I hope this thread doesnt turn into a race related issue.

Oooops too late. Sad. :slap:

that is a very good point..

I have noticed that they call white folk, Parlangi (SP) which is their version of white european without getting a technical translation, could that be considered as equally offence as Nigger??? as that is the "American" word for the african americans/nergros.

Palangi is from one of the island languages, supposedly translates as "long pig". Guess where that originated.
Pakeha is the maori version, no one seems to know what it means! But I bet it's more offensive than Hori.

The most expensive health problem we have in NZ is obesity and the resulting problems so lets just set up free-deepfried-pigfat bars all over town ay ?

I wonder if being Italian gives me carte blanche to drive fast...it's part of the culture you know.

I think this has to begin at home...

So I'll tell you what. Call me what you like. If I'm offended I'll tell you, if you don't know why - ask me... I don;t mind.

I don't want rule makers prescribing what pisses me off. I see there was a post by fish a while back with a very graphic video in it - it offended me... but she warned me about it... so what?

We have a difference of opinion on watching that stuff. Doesn't make either of us right or wrong.

Likewise LiasTZ. He pissed me off something CHRONIC a while back in some posts of his. I disagreed with him - still do. I don't care.

I get to learn, I get to expand my mind, and I get to see how much nannying the state is really doing.

That PC shit about the billboard in the Waikato asking Aucklanders for their passports... HOW MUCH CRAP WAS THAT???? The local mayor asked the to take it down.

TAKE IT DOWN??? Hell I'd BUY one, have a local pub do a fund raiser, sell the passports for $5 or $10 each and help someone in need. We all sit around with our fingers in our ears being "looked after" so damned much we're not sure what we are allowed to say or not.

Sorry guys and gals... rant over - it's been one of those days
