$38,000,000 in treaty settlements for another Maori tribe!

That is true HD. I have noticed how the Irish like to side with the Maori whenever the discussion turns to colonization and the British!  (Jun 28, 2012 | post #102)

No please MG I think we would all prefer it if you DID hold your breath! I suggest for around 15 minutes. In all fairness MG, I am not trying to run a debate show here. I dont have quite as much an issue with racism in itself. I mostly just get a little peeved off when I see people masquerading as "anti racists" while at the same time everything they tend to say oozes a certain aura of racism.  (Jun 28, 2012 | post #101)

In Europe people pushing the multicultural agenda like to tell us that immigrants have the same rights to express their opinions as everybody else and that they should be respected for their difference of belief. All they have to do to become valid appreciated members of our society is wait a few years and then get their citizenship. But my how the rules of political correctness change once the immigrant is White and he is outside of Europe! Guts has said somewhere that he has been in NZ for over 40 years. In many ways that actually makes me more of a foreigner than he is. I think I also read that you have been overseas for at least 15 years - so maybe that also makes him less of a foreigner than you too. Either way I am pretty sure that you are one foreigner living in the US that does not keep his mouth shut on certain issues that concern you.  (Jun 28, 2012 | post #100)

Then how about we exchange the word White for non-White and see if you start to look a little more racist in some of your posts. Do you remember when you said you wanted to eradicate the world of White-ness or something to that effect? Now what would happen if I were to go into a Maori forum and using just a narrow a definition of Maori-ness as you allowed for White-ness and started mentioning the grievances a lot of non Maori have with Maori: things like high unemployment and high rates of violent offending. And then I turned around and said: this Maori-ness has to be eradicated. Would I look like a racist if my view of Maori-ness was so limited? It seems to be that your entire view of what White-ness should be revolves around a few historical scenarios of human injustices. But what about those things Europeans have also done to redress a lot of those injustices? The world's oldest human rights organization is an anti-slavery organization started by Whites. What about how countries like Sweden which food and house 35 thousand new refugees every year despite the fact it will be years before many of them even get around to finding work to contribute to the country that took care of them? Not to put a too fine a point on it but there are a lot of other things that white people have done for the world too like creating the world's oldest animal welfare organizations and the worlds oldest environmental protection organizations. The world's first country to give women the vote was mostly inhabited by Europeans and the world's first country to allow gays to marry was the Netherlands if I am not mistaken. These are typical of the sorts of things that my and many other peoples' wider interpretation of White-ness includes. And the reason why I think yours is simply narrowed down to those historical injustices is based in your own prejudice.  (Jun 28, 2012 | post #82)

I do not know who George Fredrickson is, so I did not need to use his definition of what racism is. The definition I used was my own, and looking at the online dictionary definitions, they appear to agree with me. That is that racism is race based prejudice: http://www.thefree dictionary.com/rac ism 1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others. 2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race. http://www.merriam -webster.com/dicti onary/racism 1. a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 2. racial prejudice or discrimination Now the next thing you will tell me is that I have used an overly simplified definition of what racism is? But I have seen from various so called anti-racist sites and other people that call themselves anti-racist, that they usually manipulate the definition of what racism is to fit into their own agenda: which is typically rooted in their prejudice against White folk anyway! You Maori Guy are a shinning example of somebody that exudes a race based prejudice in about all of your posts. You just cant bring yourself to acknowledge what everybody else has long since seen in you.  (Jun 27, 2012 | post #79)

This coming from a Maori guy in the USA. I know you have been told to go look in the mirror before. But seriously your posts look like the mirror you're using is one of those mirrors you seen in fairground shows, the ones that distorts the images of the viewer to make you appear 3 times bigger than you really are.  (Jun 27, 2012 | post #80)

The Q&A Game..

Hah, then I guess we are still no closer to figuring out what his other half is. I think we can already guess that he is an American citizen by now. In the modern sense of nationality, a passport is all you really need to become recognized as a member of that country. Answer: No. I think there is enough evidence in parts of the world that already have death penalties in place that there will still be rapists and there will still be murderers. I dont know what proof there is that it can be used as a deterrent for stopping serious crime. Put it this way, if you are a serial rapist or you're a serial murderer, then you have already stopped thinking like a normal decent member of society anyway. But the real reason I say no is because the death penalty is final. There is no coming back from the dead should new evidence arise which could later prove this persons innocence. In my opinion the worst thing a civilized society could do is take the life of one of its citizens of an innocent person. Too much room for error.  (Jun 27, 2012 | post #9)

The Q&A Game..

It depends really on what your definition of mistreating animals is. You see I go fishing and part of that is catching and eating the fish. Those lunatic animal rights activists over at PETA would tell you that was a mistreatment of animals too. Should somebody kill and eat me too? On the other hand one of the most disgusting examples of human vulgarity that I have seen for a while was this photo of this puppy that had is face hacked open by its owner with a chainsaw. The reason for this was apparently that the puppy spilt the owners can of beer over. Crimes like that deserve prison time and much more severe than the types of light sentences handed out under our current laws. Now I would not suggest that we cut the f-ker's face apart with a chainsaw like he did to his puppy. Although I am sure a lot of folk would feel like doing that. Instead I think in this case and in cases like this, maybe a few years in prison, monetary contributions to recognized animal welfare organizations and a ban on owning pets in future would be a more suitable punishment. (I just did a quick google search for that puppy's images but couldn't find it. But I think you get the drift, it was pretty horrific.)  (Jun 27, 2012 | post #8)

Zion wild life park - Tigers are lethal killing machines

That is one of the more interesting posts I have seen around here for a while! What you said pretty much reflects what I saw in the news articles I read about him after seeing this thread. And I think we all know who the real killing machines are - mankind perhaps. Media just have a fondness for dressing up articles which involve larger predatory animals or basically anything larger than 30 pounds with teeth that has managed to get a public reputation for being dangerous. I believe Kevin Richardson, sometimes known as the Lion Whisperer who has written books and produced films about big cats, actually said somewhere that you can see a big difference between those big cats that are say first generation straight from the wild to when you compare other big cats who have lived in captivity for several generations. Which kind of suggests that while they may not be tame in the strictest sense of the word, are at least able and willing to learn to adapt to living among our own species to some level.  (Jun 13, 2012 | post #21)

Lady Gaga fires back at Madonna over 'Born This Way' and ...

I think you have overestimated how much we like Lady Gaga. Myself personally it is not that I like her so much because I do not. It is just that I actually hate Madonna and if it comes down to choosing one over the other then I would pick Gaga. I never said Gaga was sexy in the sense that she was beautiful. She wears too many big hats, wigs, masks and make-up for me to ever really know that. I just saw her on TV once and she had a certain je ne sais quoi about her, and Madonna doesnt have that or good looks in my books. And if Madonna suffers from ageism then that is partly her own fault. She was the one who used sex to sell her image in the 80s and 90s. Everybody knows that sex appeal has a limited shelf life, maybe two, maybe three decades tops. You can say that she has a good body for her age and you might be right. But she still dresses in a way which just makes her look nasty at her age. Add that to her awfully boring music and I really dont care if we do see the end of her, because I do not need to have the same opinion about Madonna that you do.  (Jun 13, 2012 | post #11)

No I am quite aware that Sweden had colonies in the new world and if I am right Denmark still has parts of the West Indies which she has some control over. But which people on this planet do you know of Maori Guy that have never owned slaves before? If you know of any then let me know who that would be. Anyone would think that Europeans themselves invented slavery, when in reality it goes back to at least the time of the ancient Egyptians. I can imagine if you were to look at how life is from a slave's point of view, whether he was black, brown, white, yellow or red, the colour of his skin would have very little difference on his life as a slave. The ancient Arabs kept African slaves long before those Europeans did and the word that they used to refer to them was Zanj. Arabs considered Zanj to possess the perfect traits needed to make good slaves, i.e low intelligence and strong bodies. You must also be aware that Jews also played key roles in transporting and the ownership of slaves in the new world too right? But for some reason I am yet to see any acknowledgement of this in any Hollywood film. What puts your racism on par with anyone else's Maori Guy is actually that you possess the exact same qualities as other racists do. You tell us that modern racism came about because white people conceptualized certain ideas about how people of other races must be and then treated them in accordance with that belief. But then you turn around and treat white people in exactly the same manner. You categorize White people and judge them just as easily and negatively as any White racist categorizes and judges non-Whites: If a white person has a different opinion than you: he must be a redneck. When a White person doesnt want Islam to be majority in his own land: he must be Islamophobic. When a White person notices that Jewish people make up two percent of the US population and controls virtually all of its media: must be Hitlerian. You are never happy that White people might just have a right to have an opinion that differs than yours without you first making some reference to them being racist because they are born White. The only difference is Maori Guy that you can down play your own racism and the racism of people like you because you have acquired some sort of imaginary rite that says you can do this by virtue of you having not been born White.  (Jun 13, 2012 | post #58)

I know you think that Maori Guy. Which is why I posted above that there is not a lot of things you say that I agree with! You see you seem to think that if a White person is born tomorrow and they are raised in say Sweden, that they are some how still going to have to be held accountable for things like slavery in the US 400 years ago and colonization of NZ 170 years back. And to my way of thinking that is just ridiculous.  (Jun 12, 2012 | post #40)
