  25.  @cathrynfaith735  I'm actually not sure what you are saying here for most of this but it seems to say that you're treated differently because of colour and while that could be true with a very small minority, I would also disagree with that to a point, that it's not colour but different styles of being, something that you would then call race, when in fact it's the different styles of how these people live. In Australia, tribes would move around a lot, you don't get ten's of thousands of years of habitation and still have a low population, the only way you get that is if crops, animal husbandry, that come along with fences, will you get large numbers of people to be able to stay in one place. If Aborigines or even Maori's are able to take food from these crops then there will be issues. I totally disagree we have been race based but as I say style based instead, for example a maori ship captain who had his own ship that traded between Australia and NZ, the first maori's that traded with the early NZ'ers became very rich, and then those first maoris used the weaponry to kill those that weren't lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time. Now you could say why should maori have to change their style of living? Sure but those that came to NZ before maori didn't get the same allowance, those that came after maori, the europeans didn't have a choice in their style of society, they were caught up in it as well. The issua I have with saying it has been race based is, was Maori that much different as a people, they had internal wars, they had love, they had death, they had rituals, beliefs etc etc, but the people we all are is homo sapiens and amongst that group we all do things that are wrong, and right, but, if within the maori style, being a good thief and if you steal from the other tribe is respected, or war mongering because the country is small in NZ, those things couldn't continue, even if europeans didn't arrive and maori just became modern and followed the style of the french, the dutch, the chinese, indians, any other race you want to mention. In Australia there is a major problem with wild dogs, they are shot because they steal stock, Aborigines were treated like wild dogs, because of the same reason, is this something you would have done if you owned the stock, maybe at that time yes. You would probably have done this at the time no matter the colour of the people. I remember a time when Maori weren't so militant, but now to be militant is common, based on a race narrative that is promoted on the maori side, no one has kept maori where they are more than maori, I get it though, part of it is being told that maori are a subjugated people so any problems that are common within the maori race then it must be the cause of white people, because they "took our land", it's easier to blame others in this situation, just like black people in USA, even though slavery had gone on for thousands of years in Africa before europeans they are still a poor hard done by race and poor them right? Just like in NZ, for example the maoris alive today are the beneficiaries of those that survived the musket wars, when maoris wipped out other maoris but it's till "poor us" or even aborigines who get given so much and I remember when in the city I was living in a large group were moved out of a park where they lived and drank all day into accommodation, within a week all the windows and I mean all the windows, were broken, a multi level and multi unit place, within a week and all the mattresses were outside, the windows got replaced and were broken again within days. They don't live there now, a lot of Aborigines have moved out of parks and gone country because they can live their style more, even though alcohol is their choice, we are having to limit that, but much like we don't have the culture of cutting off heads to make the sun come up, like the Inca's, there have been many culture changes throughout history, otherwise we'd all be speaking gaelic and it's this culture difference that you call race based narrative that is always going to change throughout time and this culture difference that people want to be able to choose. If anybody wants to learn a language, that should be their choice, should europeans have more of a sit by the river bank mentality, of course, there's an argument for that too but I think saying there has been a race based narrative, base purely off colour is I think incredibly incorrect, to say white people keep maori down is incredibly racist, something even the richest of maori still promote though, because it benefits maori alone, not society. Is it ok for a maori tribe, sorry, gang member, to rape a nine-year-old french white girl to get gang recognition racist? Is it ok to be violent against white people or steal just from white people and not maori, racist? Of course, is it racist to say we are a poor people because of white people, I think so. It's racist to say there has been a race based narrative when in fact it's a culture based narrative and you're just saying it's race because the colour of the skin is different. The question is what do you think white people are going to gain by adopting your culture moving forward? Because at the moment there isn't a lot I want to adopt when all we see is violence and chin tattoo's and zero inclusivity, all based around skin colour.

  47. ​ @hellogoodnite8447 I'm not really sure what you are saying but I'll go with the feeling of it. Ukraine has been supported by USA for almost four decades and in the last decade we have been killing civilians who don't want to be pushed out of land that quite honestly their generations have been there longer than USA is a country, just so Americans can make profit and control resources, American politicians lied about wmd's, supported Saddam and Hussein, occupy a third of syria now and are responsible for 4-5 million killed in those two decades, for oil. Russia can see what has been happening, they protected Syria and if it wasn't for them it would have been taken over by USA, same as Iraq and Afghanistan was, 30-60 million displaced, maybe more, for oil. Russia and China see what the worlds biggest army, equal to the next nine countries has been doing, you and I might not see it because of our media but gee whiz, if you think Russia's thing is out of the blue then we would have to disagree, since 1991 when "we" said no more NATO east, America has only lied to them, and us, the western world the entire time. The hundreds of Billions USA has pumped into Ukraine is because they want a return on their money, it's a business opportunity, if you look at the Ukraine recovery conference held two days ago, it's all about the investment potential, while 100,000 people just got their mobilisation papers, to go die. There are huge sums of money involved and Russia knows USA would love a piece of that Russian pie.
