Death penalty not justified????

[peasea]

the current maximum for child torture (? what is it)

The maximum penalty for child abuse????

I think it's 'therapy' these days. At worst it's three meals a day, free healthcare, Sky TV and under-floor heating.

[Brian d marge]

Nia Glassie, who suffered severe brain damage after months of abuse - including allegedly being spun in a tumble dryer, is the latest in a sad commentary on the state of Maori dysfunction in NZ.

Now the apologist Peter Sharples has stated that its all our fault that this has happened. Well fuck off Dr Sharples. This is a Maori problem, and until they accept ownership of this issue things are never going to change.

I see sue Bradfords anti smacking bill is working a treat

I dont know sharples from as hole in the ground ... from what I read he said Moari were over rep in the stats ,,,

Which is as you say a Maori problem ... I but i didn't see where he said it was whiteys fault that Maori has this prob..

Looks like Maori do indeed have to take ownership , of this cause its appearing in the news way too often and they are appearing in the stats quite a bit ,,

I spent yesterday , with my child ,,,shooting him with a catapault .... he had his fort on one side of the room , mine was on the other ,,, Volleys were exchanged ,,, but as he is three his aim isnt so hot ... So daddy one by default ,,,until he used his special Apanman punch ...which is deadly to mortal man

[draxot]

So daddy one by default

haha he came off second best?

The catch to this topic for me is any governing body cant act for total reform, because we like to be free. So i vote culture has to make life appear fair for all walks, and i dont care if these parents were brought up delluded into thinking this result was consequentially not the worst out come.
Life is everything and death is just another thing.
Formalitys and fear of death aside, i say Kill them!!!!! waaaaaaa chop chop

I actually think Sharples (or at least SOMEONE on that Close-Up program) said something like the Maoris were 'victims of the white man's system', or words to that effect. It's probably on a TV website somewhere. Either way he was passing the buck.

As I see it, the so called 'white man system' has been bending over backwards to assist Maori for years now. (In fact it has bent over so far, it is now taking it up the arse.)

However, it appears that whatever is done, it will never be enough for some people.

But lets keep playing the blame game - it is obviously more important than getting issues sorted !!

I think the guts of what he said is this - those with a problem need to recognise it and address it. But those with the problem is not Maori alone. It is also New Zealand as a whole.

I agree with what he said.

It would help if there was some form of 'community' in the community. But no one seems to want to know their neighbour these days. It's a pity - they make great allies when you have an 'issue' with another neighbour (like the dickhead boy racer who lives two doors down....)
