| 504222 | 2006-12-04 20:44:00 | OK, I'm happy to have a chuckle over the Waikato Maori and the Police Iwi Laison dept watering the highway (it's their belief and no different from Catholics sprinkling things with holy water that I can tell) What opened my eyes was the comment from the Police Iwi officer saying "It went really well... idealy should be done once a year... doesn't just benefit Maori." That last part appears to be a justification and annoys me. Fine if Maori want to do things like that (and pay out of their own pockets), but don't try to justify your actions- it's a Maori ceremony, end of story. I wonder how many people would be amused at the sight of the Pope straddling a tanker doing 80kmph spraying water over the road? Sounds like the makings of a bad Monty Python skit to me. |

| 504223 | 2006-12-04 21:43:00 | Superstition is always bad in my view, whoever is doing it. I notice however that Maori superstition gets official state support, whereas Christian religions have to pay for their own rituals. | chainey (9225) | ||
| 504224 | 2006-12-04 21:50:00 | ... whereas Christian religions have to pay for their own rituals. Yeah, right. :groan: The annual cost of pandering to superstition of whatever variety must be immense. No worries though, we'll be recompensed when we die.:lol: The mental picture of a hydraulic pope-mobile is appealing though. |

| 504226 | 2006-12-05 04:51:00 | Yep, but you know, it gives the police yet another excuse to force us into a crawl below the 70kmh that people seem to be intent on doing on the open road at the moment. :( | Antmannz (6583) | ||
| 504227 | 2006-12-05 18:54:00 | isn't wetting a road a good way to increase accidents?:illogical Yes, if you had an accident it could be considered a 'premeditated act of God' (depending if Iwi or the Pope were involved) and the insurance company could refuse to pay out :horrified |
