Have heard bout stuff like that before.. Also... A guy sent what was supposibly a legal document that clearly states Celtic ruins have been found that pre-date Maori.. Have also heard of sunken sailing ships that ALSO pre-date Maori....

Oh and funnily enough if I remember rightly a few of the Maori myths and legends mention "fair skinned fairies with blue eyes"... Being seen on the shores when they apparently arrived here.....

But lets not talk about that...

Apparently I'm racist simply because I'm white...

Let them have their kumaras, but it must be made law that they (maori) no longer have access to Pigs/Chooks or anything else introduced, oh and while im at it, leave the white mans potatoes alone also........

thats an idea...no more fish n chips bro!!

if they want to go back to living in huts, let em. eventually the dumb fucks will destroy themselves. stick em on a bit of land with a few trees, but dont give em anything: whitemans clothing, tools, hunting/fishing gear, etc etc, and see how long they last.

i remember when they took over motua gardens here, they blamed us when one of their unattended kids drowned in the fountain. so through pure stupidity they will fade away.
they also knocked the heads off a few statues.

Come on people, you can't judge all Maori by the actions of a few- it's like people assuming that all motorcyclists are gang members and criminals. The media only portray the ones who make the loudest noise and will get the best ratings- ie; piss people off. Think about it, the news only ever shows BAD news, the worst side of human nature, the disasters, accidents etc.

They were a strain in her family that she recently got from an uncle,she thought they had been lost.They look and taste like an ordinary potatoe,but inside they are purple.I might see if she has kept them going,maybe I can grow some myself,and keep them active....if she doesn't mind them going out of the tribe.

Maori potatoes, there are small commercial crops of those, but they're very expensive.

You sir have to big a garden,

Hehe!
Unfortunately the tropical paradise you describe is actually just a mandarin tree (bush, actually) and an uglyfruit tree.

Mum and Dad's place on the shore had a wicked apple tree, really nice tasting apples!!! Plus a pear and also a plum tree. Alas, no more.
