I live in New Zealand at the moment, there were the indegenous before pakeha took over the sovereignty.

The indegenous are really lazy, slack,higher criminal rate than others.

no i don't think so. each culture has its advantages as well as disadvantages, only maybe in different areas.

hmm, where in new zealand do you live? my best friend lived there for the last half year, she was in nelson. do you know it?

Very Happy greets

NO way. Just go a few centuries back in time. There was a guy called Hitler. He thougt there are better people and not so good people. Would you like to have this time back? Then I hope for you, you are with the "right crowd" Twisted Evil

I believe that each culture is special and valuable, but I don't believe that any culture is superior or inferior. cultures are all equal as people are equal.

What would happen if not? Let's think about Aryan and Jews in the second world war. Or let's think about that sign before parks, when japanese counquered China, on which it says: "Dogs and Chinese not allowed"

The question was: Do u believe one culture is superior relatively to others?

So you are a little Off Topic. It happened since history goes back, that some cultures think they are better than others. By now we should be able to brake this circle, don't you think?

I don't think I was off topic, however, you can correct me everytime.

I wanted to point out the danger if a culture thinks it's superior to others, and what the consequences may be.
So I wanted you all to think about it and then you maybe will get a result that it's always bad if a culture thinks that it's superior relatively to others.

And that's my opinion concerning this discussion. And when I say that it's always bad if a culture thinks that it's superior relatively to others, then, however, I think it will be very easy to derive that I don't believe that one culture is superior relatively to others.

Laughing quite a lot of repetitions, but I wanted to make my point clear
