lost loser - Punga, im suprised your still going on about this. Prety funny really..did you "shape" the polyester 6'2 that your riding? Did your selfish ancestors "know" what was going on back in the day? sounds like your an ego charged maori guy from down the line that cant stop whinging about how pakeha raped your peoples land..I think maori people have lost there self respect by themselves..nobody robbed you mate.

and oath i own a house and some land..because I worked hard for it, maybe if you worked hard for something you might understand a thing or two.

ciao!
