Re: 8 Reasons why God hates New Zealand!

That vessel you described above is not a combat vessel, it's a cargo tub.

In fact you have only two combat vessels - both frigates, then two cargo tubs and 6 tiny patrol vessels.

Canada? 3 Destroyers, 12 Frigates, 4 Submarines, 20 patrol vessels and numerous auxiliary vessels. Care to bet how a confrontation between our respective crappy navies would turn out?

Re: 8 Reasons why God hates New Zealand!

Down here in New Zealand the newest naval ship, which in Māori is 'waka' or canoe, is the RNZN Canterbury:

http://www.navy.mil.nz/visit-the-fleet/cant/default.htm

Specifications

Displacement: 9000 tonnes
Length overall: 131 metres
Beam: 23.4 metres
Speed: 19 knots

Complement: Core ship's company: 53
Flight personnel: 10
Government agencies: 4
Army ship's staff: 7
Trainees: 35
Troops: 250
Total: 360

Propulsion: Diesel engines
Flight deck: Space for two helicopters
Armament: 25mm and two .50 calibre machine guns

The Multi-Role Vessel CANTERBURY is the first of seven new ships built for the Royal New Zealand Navy under Project Protector. She is affiliated to the Canterbury Region. She was built at the Merwede Shipyard in the Netherlands, under contract to Tenix. CANTERBURY’s design is based on a commercial RO-RO ship, Ben-My-Chree in operation in the Irish Sea.
CANTERBURY has a diesel-electric propulsion and a maximum speed of just over 19 knots. She provides a sealift capability for the transport and deployment of equipment, vehicles and personnel, and is capable of transferring cargo and personnel ashore in benign conditions (up to sea state 3) when port facilities are not available. CANTERBURY has two 59 tonne Landing Craft Medium (LCM) capable of carrying 50 tonnes at 9 knots with a range of 250 nm.


In Te Reo, or Māori language, nouns normally do not have a plural form. Thus there is no such thing as 'maories', 'maoris' or 'maori's', we are Māori. The main way that you distinguish between singular and plural in Te Reo is by the use of the associated pronoun or possessive. Like most modern languages Te Reo has dialectical differences, which in this case depend upon the tribal background of the fluent speaker.

With respect to New Zealand beaches I agree with Brother Cranky. If you look at Māori Land Court Records, and other documents pertaining to land sales, I have not seen a case where beaches, sea beds and or foreshore was included in any legitimate transaction between the respective tribal group and the Crown.

Re: 8 Reasons why God hates New Zealand!

Aaaaaaaw. It sounds soooo cute!

Someday, maybe you'll have a real ship.

Yes! You hit the nail on the head Brother Enoch

Re: 8 Reasons why God hates New Zealand!

sheep are not good for riding on. they cannot support a fully grown human

I didn't know that. I suppose this is one of the things you learn by living in New Zealand.

We have come to terms with them and have givin them land and parts of our beaches.

They are not your beaches! You are just giving them back part of what you stole from the Māori in the first place!

our team would never cheat. and papers can be misleading

I am glad we cleared that up now. So according to you, your rugby team is all innocent and your newspapers are misleading. I can agree on you with that since your media also creates false articles about drownings in the Waikato River.

Re: 8 Reasons why God hates New Zealand!

You are all the most ignorant and arrogant people I have ever seen online. You will fight my point and that will only prove me right. The fact that any of you think you are getting into heaven, the way you carry on, on this forum, is ridiculous. If by chance you have it right and you are getting into heaven then I hope that I have a chance to blow my head off with a shotgun before your "God" has a chance to do it for me, because I would rather be raped by Satan in hell for all eternity then spend my afterlife a group of people like you.

Re: 8 Reasons why God hates New Zealand!

Yes, you mentioned that. How is that working out for you? How many sheep do you own?

Then why do the Australians call you sheep shaggers? Why do you need 10 sheep for every person? Why is sheep shagging called New Zealand's most favorite sport? You can deny all you want, but the world knows the truth!

Of course not! You can not use a canoe on land. You have to walk or ride a sheep there.

Stop being a racist! I assure you the Māori have a different perspective on this than you do!

And you still didn't respond to my question if the New Zealand Herald is lying or if your rugby team is indeed cheating. You can not have it both ways. Either your newspaper lies or your rugby team does!

I do not own sheep because i am not a farmer. it really good. im a away from necular energy and pollution.

it is a joke they created. well we have abot 40 million sheep. so that about 10 sheep for every person. our population is about 4 million again its a joke!

we have cars and sheep are not good for riding on. they cannot support a fully grown human.

well they do have issues with us because we invaded there land. Your country is racist and i am certainly not. We have come to terms with them and have givin them land and parts of our beaches. well they would but i have seen both parts of the story of why we have issues.

were you aware of the word apartheid in this article. this was relesed because somebody told them what this certain person said pior to the match against south africa because he wanted it for the future of rugby. he did not want new zealand to win. learn your history sir. it seems you are not aware of whats been said. the dates are all wrong for it to be a current event. it was just relesed a few days ago by evidence. were in 2010 not 1956.

our team would never cheat. and papers can be misleading.

Why target us? we have done nothing wrong to you country at all.

Re: 8 Reasons why God hates New Zealand!

I have it on good authority that after the brits dumped the all the crimminals in austrailia, the abos there dumped the worse of them in nz. The over crowding was not in the UK but in the aus.


Edit:My littlest, God Bless Him, came up to me after reading this. He said "PaPa? Aren't the zoo lander people like the crusties in the crapper from the upside down shrimp people (I think he was referring to the 'australians'-That word is to much for him to pronounce)?"
He added (very insightful too) "God put those countries on the bottom of the Earth to make the trip to Hell shorter because they are all Heathens."

Re: 8 Reasons why God hates New Zealand!

I live in this country

Yes, you mentioned that. How is that working out for you? How many sheep do you own?

we do not rape sheep that is all

We have lots of issues with Maori's around NZ.

Re: 8 Reasons why God hates New Zealand!

It is you who is narrow minded, you refuse to see the truth even though it is right in front of you!

Yes, I am aware rape involves seed. But I prefer to keep filthy details like that away from this nice family forum!

We do not care how you are raping the sheep, we just want you to stop doing it!

I do not own a canoe, I drive a Hummer.

So according to you the article just yesterday in the biggest newspaper in New Zealand is just a lie? New Zealand Herald: Tuesday Apr 13, 2010: Rugby: Maori told to throw match against Boks.

Why do you not just leave the Māori alone? Didn't the Māori suffer enough already?

I live in this country, Know most of the history and legends and I watch the news.

Your not getting my point about Rapeseed. Its a type of plant not something that comes out of a thing. here is rapeseed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapeseed

we do not rape sheep that is all.

I dive a Ford. Hummers a gas guzzlers and i am not of maori heritage and we still do not use canoes.

We have lots of issues with Maori's around NZ. This guy was trying to scare them. they have no respect for what we do. our team is a hard working team that does ther honest best work on the feild.

Re: 8 Reasons why God hates New Zealand!

It is you who is narrow minded, you refuse to see the truth even though it is right in front of you!

You have been misleaded by the word rape in the article. Have you heard of Rapeseed?

Yes, I am aware rape involves seed. But I prefer to keep filthy details like that away from this nice family forum!

which means the seed is eaten by the lamb or sheep

We do not care how you are raping the sheep, we just want you to stop doing it!

If we still use canoes so do you

I do not own a canoe, I drive a Hummer.

We have not cheated

So according to you the article just yesterday in the biggest newspaper in New Zealand is just a lie? New Zealand Herald: Tuesday Apr 13, 2010: Rugby: Maori told to throw match against Boks.

and the Maori's have little respect for our ountry because we invaded it

Why do you not just leave the Māori alone? Didn't the Māori suffer enough already?

Re: 8 Reasons why God hates New Zealand!

I did something called research. You should try the same. The results might amaze you.

Your sheep beg to differ. You raped them so much they even got sick from it! New Zealand Veterinary Journal, Volume 41, Issue 3, pp 151-152: Rape poisoning in sheep.

So you got bigger canoes, good for you!

We probably overlooked the canoe.

Indeed you are. They make for great comedy capers television.

Actually to be the best in the world you have to win from many top teams. Losing from them just makes your rugby players a bunch of losers. The only way you can win is if you cheat: New Zealand Herald: Tuesday Apr 13, 2010: Rugby: Maori told to throw match against Boks.

I LIVE in New Zealand. It seems you are narrow minded

You have been misleaded by the word rape in the article. Have you heard of Rapeseed? Its common name is Canola and is used in Canola oil. I think you need to look a bit closer is says feeding which means the seed is eaten by the lamb or sheep.

Just because the Maories arrived in cannoes does not mean we still use them. If we still use canoes so do you because you seem to be a bit confused about boats and canoes.

again with the canoes, you seem to not care about modern New Zealand.

Rugby is a proud sport just like Football and baseball is to your country.

we have won against top teams. South Africa, Australia and others that I cant name. we do not cheat. Losing and Winning is a part of life and we accept that. We have not cheated and the Maori's have little respect for our ountry because we invaded it.

Re: 8 Reasons why God hates New Zealand!

Ah you guys have no clue what your on about to be honest.

We have less sheep and we cartainly dont do sheep.

Your sheep beg to differ. You raped them so much they even got sick from it! New Zealand Veterinary Journal, Volume 41, Issue 3, pp 151-152: Rape poisoning in sheep.

we have more civilized water transport these days than cannos. we have good cruze ships and good trade

So you got bigger canoes, good for you!

we have joined forces with America before. I think we played a part in the Pacific War (Pearl Habour was around this time) because it was a threat to us.

We probably overlooked the canoe.

NZ is famous for the excelent rugby matches.

Indeed you are. They make for great comedy capers television.

we may have lost to many top teams but we are still the best in the world
