shonkyminister,

What do you understand the word "whakapapa" to mean in its broadest sense? If you can't answer that then your are talking from a position of ignorance.
So you know nothing about the 'Battle of Waterloo' because you are still a wet behind the ears kid, and weren't there.

Pauliar,

Being Maori does not automatically imbue one with a detailed knowledge of New Zealand history. The term Aoteroa was fabricated by a white man that much is well known.

The Maori at the time of settlement were split into various tribes and there was no single nation. The Tribes would fight each other slaughtering various villages and killing, enslaving or eating their opponents. During the Musket Wars, the Maori killed each other to the point that their population dropped by 1/3rd.

The signing of the treaty giving sovereignty to the Queen was partly to protect Maori from eachother.

So you say shonkyminister with your superior "Googling" skills. As usual you are full of it! My wife has studied the history of her people for something like 20 years of her life. Spending time as a teacher of the language, which she speaks fluently, and the history, to both Maori and European students. Now what are your qualifications in matter Maori? Something like those "Legal" qualifications you bang on about, non existent!

Pauliar,

So having studied Maori for 20 years and not knowing where the word Aotearoa originated, sounds like she wasted her time or is as dumb as you.

shonkyminister troll, most people know something, about something, some of the time, YOU manage to know nothing, about everything, all of the time. How do you do it? Just as you pontificated in the 'Beat Up' Bolt case that an arrest was imminent, WRONG. Then you recently made a fool of yourself by claiming 'Cry Baby' Porter was in for millions, an apology and ABC workers sacked, WRONG.

You have even gone as far as assuming the identity of another poster! Shameful!

Pauliar,

Not only are you dumb and ignorant, but you lie constantly and blatantly.

Your claim that I said that the arrest of Bolt's attackers was imminent. LIAR

As my claims WRT Porter, you are a LIAR again.

You are a despicable fraud and as thick as a post.
