In search of a better education perhaps?

1328319 2013-02-16 23:49:00 Personally, I think just ripping into people doesn't get us anywhere. All it creates is tension between pakeha/Maori.. I would like to know (without the media spinning a yarn) what and why the Maori claim some things. I mean, lake Taupo. Surely there must be a proper reason? I still think the price hike is greedy as hell though. I doubt there is any reasonable excuse for it to be that high. The Error Guy (14052)

1328321 2013-02-17 00:08:00 It appears that the IWI are doing little to encourage people to visit Taupo. Does the local municipal bathes charge as much as $40 for people to have swim there? Bobh (5192)

Agrees, and well said. The bitching on these forums isn't constructive, these aren't a place to "vent" about frustrations surrounding Maori.

Perhaps if you were to stipulate exactly what we should talk about, we wouldn't transgress so much.

Unfortunately, when this nonsense started, most of us, including myself, ignored it despite it having cancerous possibilities. Now we have a possibly terminal Cancer that could have been fixed if we’d taken action right in the beginning.

Unfortunately, trying to hide the situation by not talking about it isn’t going to help one little bit. Although they do say that ignorance is bliss.

1328325 2013-02-17 02:48:00 Please understand that the mods have been getting complaints from even forum regulars that this sort of thread trajectory is getting repetitive. It's not that you're talking about Maori-related content and issues, it's that it happens over and over that quite-specific threads, such as discussing whether this particular Iwi asking $40 is excessive, frequently expand in scope to cover a host of other Maori-related-issues - which seems to be the point at which I get a p.m. Zara Baxter (16260)
1328326 2013-02-17 02:57:00 Got that right, you just have to look through the forum. And you'll find out who started most of them. They're starting to get repetitive, and boring. If whoever has nothing better to talk / post about, don't post at all Speedy Gonzales (78)
