I know what you mean, but if you're white, then non whites will judge you by the actions of a few white nutters, same as we judge all muslims to Bin Ladin, all Maori to Hone Hawarera (havn't a clue on the spelling - sorry), all Americans to Bush and all us pommes to Blair, etc etc After all, cos we rides bikes, we must all be yobbo lawbreakers right?

Well that sounds like a breach of contract to me... maybe they should go and sue the fellas who did that... oh wait they are all dead, lets just leave it at that...

Ask IRD... apparently they have in the past tried to pass debt onto the next generation.

Exactly, the original chiefs knew that the whites would bring with them some great technological improvements. And they seemed to like marrying the women too. They were really passionate about improvements to Aotearoa and what would be good for their people. However they did end up getting snuffed and we're still paying for what the idiots did then.

Truly what should happen is NZ to become a republic. Would that not void the treaty as the crown would no longer be an overseer of the country? And then we could finally write a new piece of legislation, start over. Clean Slate

What strikes me as funny is that the same people who complain about Waitangi Day and Maori are probably the same ones bitching and moaning to have Waitangi Day Monday-ised

I have no doubt you are correct. They're also likely to be the ones that complain about EVERYTHING!

No I don't I hate generalizations

Oh wait, I'm complaining.

Who wants to hold hands and move our nation forward? I could do with some hand on hand action.

I'm sorry, but the white people's religion sets up such a presidence in passages like this

"For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations ..." Exodus 20:5,6:

And in other verses as well ...

Hmmm ... you are assuming that breaches of the treaty no longer continue ...
