I know the UN and the PC brigade and the feminists have been trying for years to be thought police - but when you walk around the Mangere shopping centre at 2am and feel a bit un-nerved - you are being subject to discrimination. s61 is just crap. When Dianne Yates (that horibin we had the un-privaledge of being a waikato MP ) wanted to bring in hate speech laws - it was another attempt to control thought. Yet while she was wailing on about that - we had schools here having to control how the immigrant somalis, the maoris and the pacific island (all children at schools) came in and out of the classrooms because they would start to fight. They had to use different doors!!! s61 doesnt stop that sort of thing (and frankly anything less than a swift kick in the arse would fail also)<br /><br />Of course s61 is totally at odds with that call-cry "lets celebrate the differences". <br /><br />It just shows up how crazy some people are in the brain - they want the opposites at the same time. cant be done, and thought police wont change how people think.<br /><br />The failure of Nazism and Communism proves that.barrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687643215117543088.post-35415167164728117982013-02-16T08:48:47.498+13:002013-02-16T08:48:47.498+13:00"Where did you ever get the idea that....'..."Where did you ever get the idea that....'the right not to be vilified as an individual or a member of a group"<br /><br />Oh, just s61 of the Human Rights Act 1993, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. But you appear to be an expert on the legal and philosophical aspects of free speech, so I'm sure you forgot about this. <br /><br />Aside from having little respect for spelling and punctuation, your comment makes little sense.

Grouops have been made fun of a vilifies some time started. The Irish and Polish jokes are just a small example. We see official government statistics of Maori violence and how the unemployment rates of Maori and Pacific islanders is so high. These are all examples of groups being set apart.<br /><br />And when it comes to serious vilification all one need do is examine the Harwira family - white Motherfuckers all of us whiteys are apparently.<br /><br />Ive never heard sich rubbish put forward as a serious arguement.Barrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687643215117543088.post-2198428981146187112013-02-15T17:16:38.002+13:002013-02-15T17:16:38.002+13:00Is it just me or did Margaret Mutu's dismissal...Is it just me or did Margaret Mutu's dismissal following her "we should not let white people into New Zealand because they bring racist attitudes with them" completely prove what is being said here?<br /><br />Oh, I see... she, a Maori woman, is establishment.<br /><br />Or, alternatively, Paul Henry's "Is he even a New Zealander?" leading to his dismissal?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687643215117543088.post-59704730456534108902013-02-15T16:20:10.657+13:002013-02-15T16:20:10.657+13:00wow that paul holmes piece was / is shocking

He made explicit sentiments usually unsaid but implicit in his party. His calculated publicity gambit was a kind of logical extension of Winston's personal politics. He played the game and mouthed the apology and so is still in NZ First. John Tamihere was demoted because he offended the leader. Likewise Laws and Holmes got away with it because their employer liked the ratings. In this country, for a white middle aged male MP, overt racism is a serious political sin, but depending on their party, it can be dealt with by the equivalent of 5 Hail Mary's: a ritualistic apology.
