There you go SmokeU... let this be a lesson to you... you're all like, "But I'm innocent bro!", and they're all like, "Rubbish, you're lying!"... so now you know what it's like to be a nigger in this world. Food for thought.

Not related to that dumb bint in the Hutt with the "ARYAN 1" plate are you by any chance?

Was it designed with that in mind or was that just a coincidence?
Ok .. a Maori radical mate, who's named you'd recognise but I won't use - said of that flag "It's got no Kaha!" (Kaha is power or strength) When I asked him why he said "It's a limp dick!" .. I laughed and can no longer look at that flag without thinking that.
It's a very Maori way of looking at it, as the erect penis is a symbol of power/life force ... and I have to admit, the "dick" in the flag is dropping downwards ...
No, we don't all accept that as a "Maori" flag.
I'm not sure of the background to the design of that flag. It was the flag adopted by the United Tribes of New Zealand and the one refered to in the Declaration of Independence. One of the major reasons was so there was a New Zealand flag to fly on our ships - as any ship at that time without a flag of country was considered a Pirate Ship. This gave us a flag to indentify our ships - being largely Maori ships at that time. Pakeha-owned ships most usually had British, American or European country-of-registration flags.
"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
Actually as a flag I quite like the "so called" (or claimed by some) Maori flag!![]()
80% of my family was not here before the first one (dunno about the other 20% - but suspect not).
Our boats had this flag
and my family was already working with / semi inducted with the local Maori fella's well before that flag was public. Especially me old man, growing up round Turangi and working for MOW.
however on the note of flags - I do remember this one being around when I was a young fella.
Was it a union one? Who can tell me what the story is behind it.
