The image above was particularly controversial, but for the life of me I wonder if the controversy doesn't actually say more about those complaining, than the message itself.
These two billboards were also doing the rounds at the time - I saw the cross one for the first time yesterday, and sadly I cant help but think that it's just as relevant today, as it was ten years ago. We seem to learn nothing as time goes on.
Where am I going with this?
Here.
The Maori Party is calling for limits on immigration from Western countries, accusing the Government of trying to stop the ``browning of New Zealand''. Party founder and co-leader Tariana Turia said the party would begin formulating policies to tackle the issue. It was most concerned about traditional source countries like Australia, Canada and Great Britain...... ``We are still waiting for a government to address the skill deficiencies of the '80s that they claimed were there. We (Maori) have a relatively high birth rate. The prediction is that by the year 2050 we are going to see a considerable browning-up of New Zealand with Maori, Pacific and Asians and maybe this is the way the Government combats it.''
Someone once said "You are what you love, not what loves you."
I wonder; If that's true is the reverse true also?

Didn't know you had those kind of issues on that small little island in the middle of nowhere too. Good luck chap, make Di proud!
PS: Why does the yellow heart look redder than the two others?
It breaks my heart that we're even still having these conversations.
