		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;The statement we have no culture is extremely offensive&lt;/i&gt;

And this ISN&#039;T offensive:

&lt;b&gt;And you think the kid fucking wife bashing benefit abusing criminal culture of a failing stone age people is all we have&lt;/b&gt;

?

Need your head checked out for dents, mate.  Just because your preaching to a choir doesn&#039;t make it &quot;not offensive&quot;.  Every bit as offensive.

&lt;i&gt;That you do not recognize our kiwi culture yet champion Maori&lt;/i&gt;

Didn&#039;t say that.

I answer to bigbruv&#039;s question about why his culture was not treated as specially as Maori I said - becuase it is unique to this country.

Maori (a culture unique to this country) is an integral part of &quot;kiwi culture&quot;, what ever that may be.  Without that culture we would be Aussies (a joke, by the way.  That&#039;s a joke, there&#039;s no reason to get up tight, you extreme outburst at such a thing may hint at some deep, hidden, guilt yourself.

&lt;i&gt; ...shows your racism&lt;/i&gt;

I repeat.

And this ISN&#039;T racism:

&lt;b&gt;And you think the kid fucking wife bashing benefit abusing criminal culture of a failing stone age people is all we have&lt;/b&gt;

?

You crack me up.

I like the way you pigeon holed me without knowing me, as well, more quality, intellectual thinking in NO way associated to red-faced wild ranting:


&lt;i&gt;colonial lefty guilt&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Because you obviously dont belong in one of the best places&lt;/i&gt;


A?  Where did that come from?  How do you know I&#039;m not a South African living in China.  Happy that you&#039;ve taken someone else&#039;s (random, non-sensical) ideas and regurgatate them.  I&#039;m not even sure how &#039;colonial&#039; and &#039;lefty&#039; go together.

Griff, have you ever actually studied another culture before?  Take yourself back to that young boy wonder that you had in high school Social Studies or Geography.  Think about that for a while and calm down.]]></description>

I didn&#039;t say that at all.

But you certainly reinforced my thinking that DPF may as well just make his next blog post title &quot;Let&#039;s bash Maori without saying anything positive&quot; - he&#039;ll probably get three times as many posts from the quality, intellectual, posters in this forum.

It&#039;s good to see that you managed to get it all off your chest.  Hope you feel better.  And good to see that the hatred for the Aussies is really alive - who would have thought you&#039;d get that sort of reaction from what is otherwise a small cultural in-joke.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[itstricky 
This is polite 
You racist with your colonial lefty guilt try to tell me I have no culture and there is nothing unique about being a kiwi.

Fuck off  some where else and stop polluting our shores.
 
Because you obviously dont belong in one of the best places to live in the world.

We rate in community health education safety and freedom as one of the best society&#039;s on this planet

Due to our culture 

And you think the kid fucking wife bashing benefit abusing criminal culture of a failing stone age people is all we have]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tariana deserves the list I think for her work in the smoking arena and Metiria Turei always appears articulate and informed as far as I&#039;ve seen.

Was hoping for some good comments.  Naturally enough, should have expected what happened.  I guess DPF couldn&#039;t have hoped for better when he set this one up.  Comedy gold.  Specifically liked the bit about West trumiphing over East.  It&#039;s all ebbs and tides, soon the East Superpower will come back and conquer us and everyone on this list will be asking why they took away the special European University Grants for English speakers.

&lt;i&gt;My heritage, culture and ancestors are not considered important in the eyes of republicans yet those same republicans would not dare suggest that Maori do the same&lt;/i&gt;

Errrr..... possibly because it is unique to this country......  just maybe?  .... and is therefore an integral part of &quot;kiwi culture&quot;

Otherwise, we may as well call ourselves Australian.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why poorer for it Manolo? I&#039;ve benefited from European influences that dominate here, I simply don&#039;t have any direct empathy with Europe or Britain. I&#039;ve spent almost all of my life in New Zealand, I feel like a New Zealander and identify as such. 

Culture is acquired and evolves over a lifetime, much of it inherited - although the culture I live now is far different to the culture of my childhood. 

Of course there&#039;s a variety of New Zealand cultures intermingling. Historic Maori is one of them, but I don&#039;t have any personal empathy or involvement with Maori culture either, it&#039;s not a significant part of my unique Kiwi mix that&#039;s at least as much influenced from other cultures I have no known ancestral links with, for example Italian, Chinese, German and American. 

There&#039;s simply no evidence I have &quot;fallen into the trap set by those who want to impose the Maori culture (cunningly packaged as “kiwi culture”) upon all of us&quot;, that&#039;s ludicrous. I am who I am, and I&#039;m not Maori.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;And while I have ancestors from Europe I don’t consider myself European. I’ve never been to the countries my ancestors came from and have no connection with them.&quot;

Well done Pete. You are another in the long line of Republicans who have fallen into the trap set by those who want to impose the Maori culture (cunningly packaged as &quot;kiwi culture&quot;) upon all of us. 

Maori can talk with pride about their ancestors, Maori heritage and customs are protected by law yet those who have been conned into the republican ideal are quick to write off hundreds of years of history. My heritage, culture and ancestors are not considered important in the eyes of republicans yet those same republicans would not dare suggest that Maori do the same with their history, or ancestors.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alex is is making up stuff
The Maori did not have advanced navigation. You dont need advanced navigation when your sea going capability is crossing the cook strait on a fine day
he means they once had ocean going capability but like a lot of technology including pottery  they had lost it 

As to killing
Once were warriors we all know that. its the probable reason why killing their kids is so popular among them

Then he starts on some rant that they had developed skills specialization
yeah they had rock carvers, bangers with rock, diggers in dirt with stick and witchdoctors pretty standard stuff for stone age level tribes.
They had eaten the future. There was not enough resources for them to survive  With out the constant culling of the population by warfare they would starve to death.

The pity is we have no modern versions of the great modernist Maori politicians of the past. There is no strong Maori voice telling them that living back in the past is just not going to work in  2013 we are not in the stone age now Rangi.]]></description>
