Now you might be thinking that I am mad in thanking Joris De Bres but he has finally cleared up a few mis-conceptions with his statement today, and for that I thank him.
Commissioner Joris de Bres says unlike students wearing Nazi uniforms or schoolboys bowing to a swastika Mr Harawira’s comments are not a breach of the Human Rights Act, because he is entitled to freedom of expression.
That’s right, “freedom of expression”. That means when I talk about Shane Kawenata Bradbrook, I can call him a “lazy good for nothing troughing black c**t”. There is not one thing that anyone can do about it because I am simply “entitled” to my freedom of expression.
Or Cactus Kate when she describes Andrew “The Crook” Krukziener as the “little Jew”, she likewise is simply “entitled” her freedom of expression.
Or if DPF’s disgusting, hideous mutant Ginga friend calls him a Jew and a Christ Killer, that isn’t offensive either because he is also “entitled” to his own freedom of expression even though he is a disgusting, hideous mutant Ginga.
So for that I thank Mr Joris De Bres and other members of the bro-aucracy for once and for clearing up that racism is simply freedom of expression and no matter how repugnant it is it is one of our inalienable human rights to express it how ever we desire.
I think he has it wrong though on the wearing of strange uniforms and the such because that also is simply a persons freedom of expression much like a tattoo. But then that would also put an end to the silly gang patch ban, because surely those are a person’s right, nay “entitlement” as Joris De Bres says, to freedom of expression.
According to Joris De Bres it is now safe to tell jokes about spics, frogs, tulip-chompers, japies, krauts, niggers, coons, blacks, dagos, wops, wogs, chinks, slopes, chows, plug-sockets, wet backs, coconuts, fobs, freshies and Australians because they are simply our “entitlement” to freedom of expression.
Phew! I am glad we got that settled.

Full marks. Got it in one. Several actually.
Skewered a useless Commission…and a square cloggy Dutch plug-head.…at last, able to be said as justified ‘freedom of expression’.
Sooner he goes, the better.
Come on, John Key.…Let this be your first quangocide.…Just do it.….!

Agreed Petal… “Political Correctness” is NOW about flouting all that is decent and ethical…taking advantage of the generosity and open mindedness that has characterised NZ society up until now.
The Hide/Harawera Mandate means that it is “Politically Correct” to ride on other’s money, take holidays on the public purse and openly abuse those who line your pockets and cry “I spit on you!” everytime someone with a different culture, skin colour or view might legitimately question your actions or words. Even those of the same ilk it would seem.
Please don’t tell Cameron, but I’m a teacher… and as someone who earns from the public purse, I don’t ever know of a time when I’ve been able to take my spouse to a conference and get it all paid for… and again, if I ever called my students or fellow professionals (Yes Cameron…some of us are…grin) “MOTHERF.….S” .… I wouldn’t have a job.
Also when I eventually retire after x number of years working on the public purse.…I don’t get these free rides on aircraft that these folk do.….. or a knighthood.….. or free rent.….. or a lucrative position overseas.…. but silly me.… know my place.… I’m just another “white motherf****** who has been raping lands and ripping folk off for centuries” and I have to accept this because according to Heta Hingston.…“There is a Maori way of seeing things and a Pakeha way,” and I’m just a silly Pakeha.
But of course…its ok for Hone.….in fact…its encouraged by many factions of Maoridom and our esteemed Human Rights Comissioner.
Odd thing is…my Maori friends all seem to be embarrassed by Hone’s words and actions over the years and don’t think he speaks for them.….……

Good work, this would be a simple deletion of s131 of the Human Rights Act 1993.
131 Inciting racial disharmony
(1) Every person commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 months or to a fine not exceeding $7,000 who, with intent to excite hostility or ill-will against, or bring into contempt or ridicule, any group of persons in New Zealand on the ground of the colour, race, or ethnic or national origins of that group of persons,—
(a) Publishes or distributes written matter which is threatening, abusive, or insulting, or broadcasts by means of radio or television words which are threatening, abusive, or insulting; or
(b) Uses in any public place (as defined in section 2(1) of the Summary Offences Act 1981), or within the hearing of persons in any such public place, or at any meeting to which the public are invited or have access, words which are threatening, abusive, or insulting,—
being matter or words likely to excite hostility or ill-will against, or bring into contempt or ridicule, any such group of persons in New Zealand on the ground of the colour, race, or ethnic or national origins of that group of persons.
(2) For the purposes of this section, publishes or distributes and written matter have the meaning given to them in section 61 of this Act.

Cameron married a teacher so don’t take everything he says about teachers too much to heart as actions speak louder than words
His problem was that some of his teachers at his so called top school were not creative or hard working. Also his style of learning was definately not catered to there.
My daughter like me can cope with the public system but our son like Cam is better served out of it in a more student centred environment where he is free to be creative and study what interests him as well as the basics.
I wish Cam could have had the opportunity our son now enjoys. Like his Dad he is so intelligent it blows me away and his creativity is amazing.

If anybody thinks that Hawawaira has breached the Human Rights Act, then lodge a complaint. And see if Joris de Bres is right.
As I understand having an ‘opinion’ is not a defence.
But the way it was done as a private email , which was released by another person, could mean the views are not ‘public’

Hi all.
I think we made a mistake in legislating against hate. If there is a crime committed, then the issue of motivation can come up in sentencing.
If a KKK man assaults or kills another, they should be convicted of assault or murder. The fact they hated the other is no excuse.
If a poor excuse of a politician insults the ethnicity, gender, preference or religion of another, and this damages the other’s reputation, there are libel laws.
But… legislation against hatred means the racists choose to be oppressed and accuse any who oppose or condemn them of hatred. This is a form of censorship.
The act should be repealed. Forthwith

Hone Harawira makes no apology for lumping all white folks into one raping pillaging barrel of motherf.……rs. He genuinely believes this. If that is his reasoning, then I have no hesitation in consigning him to being the same violent trash that was Jake the Muss. He’s a violent thug, from a long lineage of meting out violence on folk who disagree with the Harawira way of thinking.
But he does not represent the view of New Zealanders in general, no matter what colour or creed…and should be barred from being a representative in the future. New Zealand is served well by people who question and debate and challenge…but to espouse hate gives him no place as a representative of this wonderfully flawed and unique little nation.

I don’t like the idea that a toss pot like Hone can call me a white motherfucker .. I have never meet the guy even though I might me, he doesn’t know that. And shit for brains de Bres HAS to go.

Joris De Bres, is nothing more than a hangover from the socialist vision of die Klarkenfhurer, he should offer his resignation. He and his ilk are were never wanted or needed by the NZ public. They were foistered on us by the likes of Klark. She’s gone her flunkies should follow
