| 1222965 | 2011-08-14 04:45:00 | That is a very sad loss. He was a unifier rather than a divider. Strong on principles, and a true gentleman. A great loss to all, but especially his whānau of course. | John H (8) | ||

Why not? Remember when PM Big Norm died back in 74? He was missed by both Maori and Pakeha. If you are a generational New Zealander, I dont think white would be used by today's media in NZ for a Pakeha GG's death. |

| 1222972 | 2011-08-15 01:24:00 | How? Why? I came here as an Englishman, and any respect I might get I would Like to earn, where as maori seem to expect respect by virtue of being a maori, which I don't agree with. |

| 1222973 | 2011-08-15 01:36:00 | Actually, this thread is about a great leader and statesman who has passed away. You (prefect and Cicero) could show a bit of respect yourself instead of wittering away about hard done by you think you and your fellow whities happen to be. |
