They probably weren't too thrilled with the unending flood of pakeha that were taking land and burning down forest and bush for housing, grazing and roads, and forcing them to learn a new language, or to be disadvantaged if they didn't / couldn't learn whities tongue, the whities law, and the whities weird cursive scribblings on paper. We might be learning some Chinese dialect before we're all dead and buried... or risk being disadvantaged ourselves. |

What do some of you other older guys remember? Ken No but my father who is in his eighties has told me that life was tough for his parents and grand parents. Our descendants left England as peasants for Nelson in 1840 and Dad still on same family farm since 1862. Dad said it was just work work no holidays only Saturday afternoon off for cricket or rugby. I look at my kids 14 and 16 years old and think they are lucky and will have a wonderful future, tried to teach them stuff Dad taught me. Always help people out when they need it, dont do drugs, always being nice to women, dont be cruel to animals, never loan your wife, rifle or chainsaw. The future looks bright the young kids are more educated and dont put up with **** we did. I wish I could go back in a time machine and smash a few people over who ****** me around when I was a young fella. |

I do not give any thought about maoris 150 years ago and the only thoughts I have about them now are unprintable. I know a bit of Mandarin as my wife is Chinese. |
