| 545445 | 2007-04-30 00:43:00 | At least thats what Tariana Turia says... www.nzherald.co.nz Maori Party co-leader Tariana Turia says the arrival of Christianity in New Zealand and colonisation introduced the concept of smacking children to Maori. Yeah, never mind the fact that before the Engrish came along, that they were butchering each other and eating them for their "Mana" |

| 545446 | 2007-04-30 00:46:00 | butchering each other and eating them for their "Mana" Indeed. Not meaning to be racist, but Turia is very blatant and ignorant. Not to mention hypocrisy here, either. |

| 545447 | 2007-04-30 02:16:00 | I suppose we could blame the US for popularising baseball, thus making the baseball bat the prime implement of choice for loving correction, polynesian style. That neatly transfers responsibility to the Germans and Japanese, for making it necessary for the Yanks to be here in such numbers, bring with them their horrendous customs. Any old excuse for blatant child abuse will do. Go for it Turia........ Cheers Billy 8-{) :( |

| 545448 | 2007-04-30 03:03:00 | Well . . . what is the popular theory of child-rearing there in NZ? Whack or not? Not talking beatings and mutilations . . . just a smack to the backside . Just remember that just a short time ago in NZ history there were cannibals there . "You have a very delicious and respectful child there, Chief" . The US got severely off track with parental responsibility and generated a nation of killers and street hoods from the prosaic musings of Dr . Spock (NO . . . Not the Vulcan guy!) If I am to be blamed for something out of my control or instigation, let me at least know what it is I am accused (of) . . rats, another prepositional ending! |

| 545449 | 2007-04-30 03:10:00 | Well...what is the popular theory of child-rearing there in NZ? Give em 10 bucks and tell em not to come back for a few hours. Dads got to drink some lion Brown and smack around the women folk, Then have a bit of a sing song wif tha lads aye Bro, Chur Chur. |

| 545451 | 2007-04-30 05:01:00 | I'm very tempted to say yes, pakeha have been known to smack their children and some maori have been known to.............................but that would be very politically incorrect wouldn't it. | pctek (84) | ||
| 545452 | 2007-04-30 05:21:00 | Joe, I don't think Dr Spock can be blamed for a "nation of killers and street hoods" . The US has a long history of lynching and gang violence . (Even "official gang" violence: the "Western" posses apparently weren't too concerned about evidence and legal process) . The Ku Klux Klan goes back a few years, and they wore "hoods" -- bravery through anonymity? The NRS has a bit of a history, too . But of course, that's not a "nation" -- it's a minority of the whole population . It's just that they are quite good at making their precsence felt . |

| 545454 | 2007-04-30 06:01:00 | ... Yeah, never mind the fact that before the Engrish came along, that they were butchering each other and eating them for their "Mana" There's a good "moral" argument that you shouldn't kill anything you aren't going to eat. ;) The "civilised" races have a long history of killing (with various barbaric methods) millions, but not eating the victims. This continues today. | Graham L (2) | ||
