*Warning* Maori sovereignty thread *Warning*

**Colapop** · 1st February 2007, 17:36

I included the *Warning* signs in the title of this thread because I may inadvertently swear and curse.

To start off with I have many Maori, or people who call themselves Maori, friends, aquaintences, and workmates. My friends I trust - I don't give a flying fuck about race.

What the fuck is with these cunts that think they're making 'progress' by trying to forward their claims of Maori sovereignty? They want to fly their flag from the Auckland harbour bridge on Waitangi day. Who the fuck do they think they are? Why do we need a separate set of rules for one ethnic group in this country? Don't try and tell me "Because the Maori are the native people of this land" BULLSHIT. They are migrants here like everybody else. If you want to argue semantics, the Mori Ori should have their flag flown. Where are the Mori Ori? Oh that's right when the Maori came here they waged a war against the Mori Ori and virtually wiped them out. Ate them didn't they? But that's different to the European 'invasion' because the European didn't commit genocide (arguable point - maybe they tried?)
The point is that we have in NZ a country that is made up of a number of different peoples from different cultures the world over. The country (infrastructure, society, culture) was built from the blood, sweat, & tears of these people. We have a very proud history that encompassess a wide range of cultures and yet we give great respect to the Maori culture - the Haka, Maori place names, and funding for Maori cultural/education programmes. It's not about bagging Maori people they have a right to their cultural history, but so does everyone else in this country. Fuck the devisive shit stirring cunts and their attempts to make the rest of us treat them with kid gloves.

One set of rules for one country.

Spot on. well said

**yungatart** · 1st February 2007, 17:41

Yep, what he said! It only encourages divisiveness and separatism, neither of which are healthy, IMO

**onearmedbandit** · 1st February 2007, 17:45

Can't disagree with you there.

**jimbo600** · 1st February 2007, 17:48

Usual shit for this time of year. Angry twats pontificating about sovereignty this and that. Thats why Waitangi day should be renamed NZ Day.

**The Pastor** · 1st February 2007, 17:58

Bah humbug, this doesnt concern me at all. Let the moari get in to power - then we will see what happens. Are they going to increase tax? Doubt it. Are they going to ban motorbikes? No. So therefore nothing bad can happen.

In the words of a real estate agent: Know them before you judge them.

**onearmedbandit** · 1st February 2007, 18:13

Problem is that we can't fully know them, as they can't fully know us. So some middle ground has to be found. Yeah right.

**Hillbilly** · 1st February 2007, 18:14

Hmmmm....Racial Segragation by Legislation. There's a word for that -
APATHIED!!!

**Macktheknife** · 1st February 2007, 18:20

Nah, fuck em all, tired of the divisive shit stirring bastards. I am quite happy to share this beautiful, bountiful country with whoever wants to live here in peace, anyone else can, and should, fuck off and leave the rest of us in peace.
Starting with the entire Harawira family.

I'm with you all the way on this one mate.

**davereid** · 1st February 2007, 18:25

Never met a maori. Met a few New Zealanders of maori descent. No maoris though. Met a chinaman the other day. But he was a New Zealander too.

Stick your racsist ideas up your arse - that goes for those of european descent, but it also goes for those of maori descent who want to divide our country on rascist grounds.

Grant them their sovereignty...the Maori currency should be worthless and the NZ government could stop paying out our bloody taxes to support a minority.
I did my Turf Management apprenticeship on Waitangi Golf Course...every year at this time the radicals invaded the community and staunched around like it was their own land...many of the local Maori, my friends and rugby team mates disliked the disruption immensely

It all gets a bit boring this time of year. And as usual, the media talk it up because it sells papers and gets people watching the news, which helps to push up costs of advertising.

Don't believe what you read in the media.

My wife is Tainui. My kids are too. But we're all New Zealanders. And that's how most people in this country think.

Some stupid loudmouths who are just grandstanding won't affect a lot.
