The H bomb in Wanganui

[MSTRS:Me]

There has been the odd time when someone/s changed the R in Warkworth to an N making it Wankworth, I think thats to funny....

Yeah but nah but...
As a signie, I can only imagine how much such a change can cost. Let's face it, it's not just changing a letter. Adding one increases the length of the word, putting the whole sign out of balance. So there goes another few hundy just on the board. Not to mention all the wording etc. One sign can cost thousands. Then you got your old buildings with the then 'Wanganui' in relief on the facade. Mega bucks to change that.
As I said, it's all very well for a few ne'er-do-wells to try and force a change, but they aren't paying, are they? And for what? A misguided belief that a spelling denotes how it's said? Not.

You mean actually go and stay in that shithole?
Nah...I'd rather stay here and agitate for a spelling change for Napier. Naypia should do it. That's how it's said, and same length too, see. That's just me saving money for the poor bastards that will have to fork out...

I hear you, wanganui is a bit of a shit hole....What you need is a napier name change that will create a bit of work, start lobbying the local Iwi and get them to change it to: 'Taumata whakatangi hangakoauau o tamatea turi pukakapiki maunga horo nuku pokai whenua kitanatahu'..........now the link to napier is a little tenuos for sure, but think of the work

Actually Ahuriri will do. Problem here of course, is that we'd definitely need two names...one for what was here before 1931 and one for after

I drove through Fonganui on Wednesday, does that help?

The day that maori leaders like Mair & Turia take a stand against the gangs & say it is not Ok to peddle drugs to our kids.
The day maori leaders start taking a real stand against domestic violence & the high rate of infant mortality [ murder ] amongst maori
The day the maori leaders start to develop programs to reduce the overrepresentaion of maori in our jails & on our dole queues.
The day that maori leadership starts to take real meaningful steps towards improving the lot of joe average maori & getting them better educated.

That is the day I will happily put an H in Wanganui, that is the day we will begin to make real progress.

I could'nt agree more but do you really think that day will ever come?
Unfortunately. I don't think so.

What fucked up bunch of idiots that didnt even have their own written language 200 years ago would give a place a name like that?

Law's at it again......

Michael Laws is embroiled in fresh controversy after an email exchange went viral.
Aucklander Brendon Madden-Smith wrote to the Wanganui mayor taking issue with the claim that the New Zealand Geographic Board was wrong to recommend the city should be spelled Whanganui.
Madden-Smith made reference to Laws' strongly worded letter to "angry" school children: "Now the people of Wanganui (according to you) are 'angry, upset and disappointed'. Maybe they should just get over it and start worrying about important issues like child abuse and murder."
Laws replied: "Maybe you should grow a brain."
The correspondence quickly degenerated into abuse from both parties. Madden-Smith wrote to Laws, "credibility going down, down, down," to which the mayor replied, "Jerk, jerk, jerk."
Laws was unrepentant yesterday and stood by his strong words. Laws said he would not moderate his style of communication. "I am sick and tired of people who do not live here trying to ram their liberal political ideology down our throats."

"I am sick and tired of people who do not live here trying to ram their liberal political ideology down our throats."

He's got a point.

[SixPackBack]

He's got a point.

That he would like to create a totalitarian dictatorship, rename Wanganui -"Michaellawistan", enslave the local Maori population, create a local junta answerable to him only, and tell the rest of NZ to fuck off?

Yeah I get his point, but do not agree with the CUNT.

You would prefer the whole country had a referendum on the naming?
