Nah, I disagree. It's time the bullshit that goes/went with Waitangi Day moved on, and I think NZ may well be on the cusp of change in that regard.
We'll see.

There is a lot ot be learned from history, in order to prevent repeats of past mistakes.
The more we are reminded of the past, the less likely we are to fall for the same traps, therefore I'm all for remembering our history. I firmly believe, as a small isolated country, we need more reasons to celebrate as a Nation. National pride brings unity, and if we are to improve in any way, then we need to move forward with pride in being Kiwi. Waitangi Day will hopefully become a very positive part of that.
Sir Ed, Lord Rutherford, Kate Shephard etc etc, we were once at the top of the world and leaders in many things, we need to get back the 'fight' we once had.

Waitangi Day has changed from the 80's and early 90's..
It has changed, and race relations are improving..

I spent my Waitangi day with my family - it was wonderful.
My family are multi-cultural but I am a very very proud kiwi and love all my nieces and nephews regardless of there ethnicity.
;D

It's our national day. I'd no sooner get rid of Anzac Day.

If it was treated with the respect it deserves then keep it, but it will always be a rallying point for the radicals so trash it

Message boards are a rallying point for silly old men, should we trash them too?

Sadly, that's the most intelligent post I've ever seen you make macker.

While I wouldn't call despairing at the pathetic shit you post intelligent, I guess even you have to have something to cling to, lefty.
