1335769	2013-04-08 01:00:00	I do wonder the Duke's opinion on the matter. He seems to have kept his opinions to himself whilst visiting here. But after hours, away from the fawning hoi polio I'd think it would be a different story. Her Maj has the reputation of being an adept and cutting mimic as well. Interesting to be a fly on the wall while the two of them discussed their day ...	WalOne (4202)

He's worshipped as a God, by one tribe, you know :banana Gotta wonder about his private comments & jokes over that But should 'official welcomes' reflect the true cultural & background of most kiwi's . Most are from UK immigrants (generations back) so it should be morris dances & soccer hooliganism Save the Maori welcome's for the Marae , where they are 100% appropriate. And lets stop doing the Haka every 5 minutes (it seems) . The haka has become something done by drunk white boys at the drop of a hat, not something meaningful or of significance.	1101 (13337)

I hope that if our Prime Minister goes to visit Holland they don't take him into the red zone to smoke a spiff and look at a strip show without first asking if it is ok with him. Same should apply for people coming here I guess.	Sanco (683)

1335773	2013-04-08 06:07:00	Wonder if the lady was advised of what was going to be on her welcome to NZ itinerary. Attending conferences in Auckland in years gone by our host always asked if anyone objected to being treated to a strip club evening. Both male and female attendees' enjoyed the evenings' out. Lurking.	Lurking (218)

1335775	2013-04-08 06:20:00	We were forced to learn Maori and the Bible back in Primary. Two things I hate and two things I never use. I distinctly remember the maori teacher (however nice and friendly she was) saying that the Maori culture was OUR culture. Although I didn't say anything at the time (I was only 9) even then I knew that was a load of ****. My culture is me, a white guy, doing white guy things.you only have your parents to blame for sending you to a church based school.	plod (107)
1335776	2013-04-08 07:22:00	you only have your parents to blame for sending you to a church based school. It wasn't a church based school. It was a normal primary school. It seemed back then they had a thing called "Bible In Schools" where someone would come in once a week and talk about all that crap. Dunno if they have that now.	goodiesguy (15316)

Dunno if they have that now.i dont doubt you, never anything like that at my sons primary school, if there was i would have had my children withdrawn from that class. Just very surprised as my oldest is the same age as you.. We have a couple of teachers on the forum, maybe their can shed some light on it	plod (107)
