Things that piss you off... (Part 1)

sure they are lead by Europeans, but the party is not built to target one race, the Maori party was and is built on winning the Maori seats and appealing to the Maori population.

Middle class white men, the new minority.

You'd probably still get a start for the Nix.

since when did being European put you in the ruling elite???

and when did anyone say anything about crushing one race or the other.............all I was commenting on was that ACT and the other minority parties excluding the Maori party try to appeal to all NZ'rs as opposed to once race. I'd say the same if the Asian, Assyrian communities decided to start a political movement. to make it clear, I suggested starting a YF Political movement, solely for the purposes of appealing to the football followers in the country. As far as I can see its pretty much the same, except that the Maori Party are the only ones that are tryoing to appeal on a race basis.

here's where we disagree. You can't have extremes that appeal to everyone - Act and Greens, for instance - how is someone that supports the Greens gonna support Act, and vice versa.

Inappropriate website ads.

I think by "appeals to all NZ'rs" as in "appeals to potential voters regardless of their race".

ACT appeals to those believe in the free market. That's Pakeha free market believers, Maori free market believers, Asian free market believers - they don't care what ethnicity, your belief is what matters.

Greens appeals to those believe in environmental issues first. That's Pakeha environmentalists believers, Maori environmentalists, Asian environmentalists - they don't care what ethnicity, your belief is what matters.

And so forth.


(That being said, I myself do believe the Maori Party has a place in our society...just not the Maori seats)

I havent noticed it, maybe they just advertise towards those who need it 

(Obviously don't need it while at work, then. Ads here are OK. Must be a virus / worm / general lack of computer security.)

Things that p*** me off: Viruses / worms / general lack of computer security.

yes, and the Maori party believes in Maori values - now, how does that differ from European values? because it differs from Act, Greens, National, Labour etc because those are Eurocentric parties. You can't have "Maori" ideals withut the word "Maori" - you can, however, have European values without the word European - that's the point of differentation.

Correct - to a degree. And I do agree with you The Maori party is for all NZers - including non-Maori - who feel Maori issues are the most important issue for them. Hence why I support their legitimacy (though I myself will never vote for them).

The only way in which they appeal strictly to Maori voters is that they only run candidates in the Maori electorates.

phew - for clarification, I'm not arguing that the Mari Party isn't based on race - just that it isn't racist. I don't believe demarcation because of race is racist* - in the true sense of the meaning of the word - but it is a semantic minefield.... Cosimo2008-11-06 13:41:11

Finding a cornflake in my rice bubbles. It happened this morning, and it's wrong, so wrong. Almost as bad as finding a vein in your hotdog.

That is disturbing what are you suggesting...What is the hotdog really then if you find a vein in it?

Disgusting scum sexually assaulting your sort of girlfriend.

 wow what?

Get the cops onto their arse dude.

I'm trying to.

perhaps CNUT should just write something that changes anything that looks like a link into one...

Having your role made redundant!

Random Injuries that come out of nowhere (sp - is that one word or 2? Perhaps another poll :P...or not). Likely to put me out of cricket tomo.

At least I'll get to watch the dragons if it does.
