The last few posts made here, they've shown up, made the most inane, idiotic, and pointless comments, upvoted each other in a frenzy of circle jerking, and generally made a pest of themselves.

They're a nuisance, and add nothing of value to the Lemmy experience.

That's not even remotely true

Uhhh okay it’s not like that was decided about the document that literally started your country or anything

The treaty of Waitangi is not part of NZ law.

Interesting that I see it listed as being an integral and foundational part of your constitution, then

[–] SamC@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That doesn't mean it's part of law

At any rate the fact that the te reo version of the treaty is recognised as primary doesn't mean all nz law is written in te reo as you initially claimed

Fair enough, I overshot.

"your constitution"

You mean you're not even a Kiwi, and you're ten comments deep spouting nonsense like this?

Honestly, you're even more pathetic than I thought.
