Most of the guys who gave me shit were our peacefull natives, how supprising.

Racism was no doubt passed down from parents who despised the hard working new New Zealanders

Funny this….we, the “peacefull [sic] natives”, probably married the Chinese more than any other race in this country. And on the work thing, I never saw any pakeha’s in the spud paddock doing the hard yakka, they were in the tractor/truck seat the ballheads. We admired the Chinese though, they worked hard like us. They knew how to save & didn’t piss it up like us “peacefull [sic] natives” though…oh well.

He’s hopeless, and continually firing into his own ranks.

We can’t therefore use him.

Worth recounting is a Kiwiblog post of his on November 13 commenting on Jackie Blue’s move to stop forced marriages of young girls in NZ:

…This proposal is clearly an attack on vulnerable racial/cultural/religious minorities. The age of consent (if “consent” is even required) is far lower in many other cultures around the world. This is an example of Western “White” values being imposed on others… Who are we to impose our narrow Western views on law abiding minorities?

…Consider child rape in christian countries…

Yes there has been appalling rape of children in Christian countries, notably by rogue Catholic priests.

Yet most Christian countries’ treatment of children is light years ahead of the standard in fundamentalist Muslim countries, which continue to have genital mutilation of girls in North Africa and the Middle East, exclusion of girls from education (as happened previously in Afghanistan and will happen there again), and tolerated homosexual slavery of young boys (by Afghanistan war lords, before and since the Taleban).

And the arranged child-bride business, especially to first cousins, occurs mostly among Muslims.

I imagine that less meaningful relationships generally don’t involve as much concern over race: Sure, he might try a bit of that brown sugar but he’d never ever consider marrying it.

Consider arranged marriage to child brides in some Middle East and African countries.

Consider child rape in christian countries. This list starts at five years old. Note the cluster of ten year olds in North America, the biggest church goers of all. Also note the number of children giving birth in catholic countries.

- cultural differences within each side’s families
- identity differences over non-shared heritage
- disapproval of others, esp. immediate and extended family

Some of the negative reasons that these may no longer matter as much:

- less presence of cultural differences: we’re all just ipod-wearing big-tv watching consumers now
- less cohesive, more fractured families
- less value on marriage itself!
- easier divorces, making at-risk relationship attributes (if only perceived) like mixed race less important. This would have led to greater opposition to it in the past, especially among women (my guess)

It also seems clear that when people’s idea of “other races” is entirely different nationalities and cultures, as it would be moreso in the past, then it would be hard to imagine an interracial couple having much in common at all. Thereby inviting greater opposition to the idea.

It’s a postmodern conceit that people in the past were less “evolved” on issues like race. There’s often more going on under the hood than we’re immediately aware of.

However, widespread differences continue round the world about who can marry whom. Consider arranged marriage to child brides in some Middle East and African countries.

Severe and cruel disabilities are allegedly being caused to children in countries including Saudi Arabia to Pakistan where marriage to first cousins is the norm.

Restricted bloodlines aren’t all bad, however. Maori spring from a few canoe loads of migrants, and tobacco and booze ravages excepted, they are typically robust, healthy, and as bright as the rest of us.

But when those in favour of gay marriage compare it to interracial marriage, it makes my blood boil.
I find it extremely insulting.

Please stop telling lies. It’s very unchristian of you.

The California Anti-miscegenation statute that was repealed in 1948 stated the “no license may be issued authorizing the marriage of a white person with a Negro, mulatto, Mongolian or member of the Malay race.”

The three racial groups used by early ethnologists were the Caucasoids, Negroids, and Mongoloids. The Japanese are members of the Mongoloid group – so it is pretty obvious that whites and Japanese were forbidden from obtaining a marriage license in California.

However, suppose “race” is an accurate concept. Then the notion that children of “interracial” are always more robust than the children of non-interracial marriage is wrong.

the more diverse the better the line…

That’s why thoroughbreds always get trashed in the big races, Azeraph.

“Hybrid vigour” seems to be known as “heterosis” when the cross is between species rather than within a species.

For example, this from Wikipedia:

…Not all outcrosses result in heterosis. For example, when a hybrid inherits traits from its parents that are not fully compatible, fitness can be reduced.

It’s common knowledge that hybrid vigour often, perhaps usually, declines in the second generation.

Regardless, in within-same-gender “marriage”, no genes are exchanged in offspring. So in this sense it does not parallel standard marriage, which usually has as a major object, creating children by mixing genes from the two people in the marriage.

As for sewing up mongrels rather than taking them to a vet. Most mongrels are great, but doubtless for many folk the fact that mongrels typically cost the owner nothing, while the pedigreed dog can cost thousands, is a factor in weighing up home treatment v. veterinarian treatment.

AGW denial is the most Moronic import from the USA. All it really is- a bunch of greedy c**ts that are happy future eating the next generations planet. The biggest joke of all is most of the organized denial traces back to the bastards that are screwing us for energy costs now.

Classic teabaggers read the rational wiki entry it makes me crack up

Hey Red, while you were away did you manage to remember one of the “many victories” you have had in your ten year plus war against the left?

Griff overestimates the hold religion has on people. Increasingly religion is being rejected around the world in favour of science and evidence based models of reality :

Only 37 of 194 nations signed the treaty that replaces the Kyoto Protocol, which expires December 31 – and several countries may withdraw their consent. That means the new agreement is legally non-binding and covers only at best 15% of global carbon dioxide emissions.

Forget it, he’s just a clueless repetitive ignorant troll.

The kind of liberal loser that caved in to the left decades ago. We don’t need his kind.

Care to tell me why you think that Beck, Palin, Birthers and Guns are so great?

Or is it a religious thing?

I suspect David Farrar’s point is that if the right does not move with the society, then the society moves away from the right.

I believe DPF is a progressive, who epitomises the liberal wing of the nowadays left-of-centre National Party.

Having said that ,the dumbest of all are the bruvvers.
