| 1342891 | 2013-05-24 06:23:00 | i wish to tell this joke in maori the next time an ignorant pronounces maori the racist way. so the joke goes, where does one find maari? punchline : in the petfood isle. maori is pronounced similar to mould. prounounced the way it is by tv presenters is inherently racist as it means dog food. so the next time an ignorant racist says the wrong word, i wish to tell a joke that should garner a smile from any te reo speakers. educate with humor. trouble is i do not know where to begin with translating this joke. maoridictionary.co.nz has been little help. can't identify half most of the stuff i say. jokes are a sign of weaknessl; i aim for deadpan/black humorwhen mouldy can decide how whanganui is pronounced I will start pronouncing Mari correctly |

| 1342892 | 2013-05-24 06:36:00 | this thread has been jolly amusing. still no closer to my joke. native speakers can do anything they want with their own language. if its not your native language you should atleast try to get the name of the language correct. fumble your way through the rest as poorly as youd like. its hilarious. IMPERIALISM is the answer to the aircraft question. won the war because of imperialism. |

| 1342896 | 2013-05-24 07:02:00 | Well that explains who the "racist and bigot" remark was aimed at ... :lol: :) My respect is for an individual and is earned. My respect is not based on skin colour, religion, gender, sexual proclivity or politics. Unfortunately the so-called representatives of the indigenous population of this country have done nothing to engender my general support in (my) living memory. I have many friends and acquaintances (and cousins) of various hues and inclinations, so I object to the label you have (assumed) applied to me. :) |
