1489093 2022-10-27 05:47:00 I too offer my frail body in protest. Bloody minority pushing their agendas and we are so stupid not to fight back! Bryan (147)
1489094 2022-10-27 18:04:00 Definitely not! Our country is known as NZ all over the world. It is a well known brand. Apart from anything else, it would cost a fortune to re-educate (and confuse) the world - money we can't afford.

And Aotearoa is not the maori name for NZ. It is a made up name. The maoris did not have a name for the entire country. And, as I have said before, why does TVNZ pronounce it Owtearoa?:groan:

Bryan - it’s not that we are becoming more stupid, it’s just that the stupid among us are becoming louder. We need to keep them down and shut them up.:annoyed:

1489095 2022-10-27 18:33:00 As long as we allow the "Woke Folk" to drive this country, they will kowtow to every whim of every minority, whether they be brown, homosexual or budding terrorists.

What else could we expect now that every government department is labelled with an unpronounceable name that fails to identify their purpose. Our cities and towns have been renamed so that when mentioned by TVNZ, we haven't the foggiest idea where they are talking about.

And when a token effort is made at a dual nomenclature, it results in a name that is so long as to be unwieldy, just to placate the stupid minority. We got along very well for more than a few decades with the place and departmental names as they used to be.

1489096 2022-10-27 18:33:00 I was watching the youtube item suggested by Wainuitech in the "Windows 11 sign in" post in PressF1 Forum #13. In the middle of the watch, I was appalled to see that a list of countries appeared that showed "New Zealand Aotearoa". Somehow even Microsoft has been gotten to by our muppets. Bryan (147)
