I was pleased to see on TV that the man so badly injured is out of danger,but sad he lost his foot.
also a new bumper sticker that shows the kiwi spirit "CHRISTCHURCH ROCKS !"

Benny, They were Maori, the usual rabble that come down from the North Island, The woman had a painted face like a Neanderthal , We have enough white low life scum here already. They should be deported.

With people like you around I can understand why Hone feels like he does about Pakeha dragon.

Silverfern, Maybe you do not understand ? I am a European New Zealander not a pakeha. As for hone, he speaks up for himself and i admire him . He is not like the limp wristed Kia-ora type white liberal. Even though he may be racist. As for having a Maori party ,that is racist and no different from the national front in Britain. Bet if someone started a white party all the limp wristed would be up {sorry! wont say in arms] it may offend, but would be screaming raceism.

Come on guys, there are bad people no mater what race, our problem is we only see the bad ones, i have many great friends in all races, so can we please let it go, be nice to each other, life is too short.

OJ What a generous community minded person you are.! That idea of yours is great. . On another developing story It is emerging that the bill passed last evening gives extraordinary powers to Gerry. He could mine in Schedule 4 or suspend an election. A Scary thought.!!

"Come on guys, there are bad people no mater what race, our problem is we only see the bad ones, i have many great friends in all races, so can we please let it go, be nice to each other, life is too short."

Dead right Shenanigans. In all races,there are some wonderful people & some utter swine's - most of us are somewhere in between the two.

Let's put it this way, if I was writing up a Christmas Card list Shenanigan's would be on it. Life's too short to be hateful.

And so says every Kilo of me too,Shenanigans NZ.

Its been interesting that all the earthquakes in the Canterbury region have been between the 2 rivers, the Waimakariri and the Rakaia, there has been the normal amount outside this area but 90% were in between them. In the first 14 days this month we have had 776 earthquakes and in the first 14 days last month (Aug) we had 634, we are the shaky isles.

That's a lot of shakin' going on.
How did you fare in Rakaia shenanigans, we haven't heard much about the rural areas?

1st 14 days July 764, June 660, We get heaps of earthquakes
