Its funny they use the word settlement... Other words for building stuff in another country include 'colonisation' and 'occupation'. Im not trying to start a war about whats happening there, its more a comment about how its described.


lol. Maybe you should consider getting out of New Zeeland and give up the land to the Maoris before u open your moth about this topic. ^^

Well you see in New Zealand we don't talk about what happened as 'settlement'. Also 'Maoris' doesn't exist, the plural form of the noun is simply 'Maori'. Though some use 'Maoridom'

 

That's actually the worst example of knowing about nothing and trying to get other people to feel bad about their opinions. Have you ever been to New Zealand, slimebeast? I've never seen a country where the "natives" are so integrated as they are in New Zealand. The most important sports team does a ritual Maori dance and all the signs are written in English and Maori. So Sqilliam be proud, that beside still appearing problems, you are living in a country like this.

 

Btt.:

The Middle-East-conflict is way to f... up in every sense, just that Israel has occupied the West Bank, doesn't mean, that they're in a position to hold it. Actually, I think it's good, that the USA is not simply saying yes, to everything Israeli extremists say, but to be more open minded to different solutions. It's important for the States as well, because this conflict is one of the reasons, why the US became a major target for terrorists attacks.


Well, Im sure Squill understands Im playing with him. Im very well aware of how nice NZ are to Maories (in my own controversial opinion they are too nice and digging their own grave). But still, formally, the white New Zeelanders could be seen as invaders, even if they are very nice and regretful invaders nowadays. ^^
