In 1981 I supported the Springboks tour of New Zealand.
Like the vast majority of New Zealanders I considered apartheid to be senseless but considered providing an example to South Africans a better way of arguing than simply refusing to communicate by banning them.
I would do the same today.
This is why I am becoming more and more concerned when reading of people being banned from our shores for holding views abhorrent to the PC classes.
The most recent being a Seppo god-botherer who doesn't like the capital letters people (among others).
Among those supporting his banning publicly is Farrar from
Kiwiblog.
Farrar states among other things that this gentleman has "
prayed for Obama and Caitlyn Jenner to die".
He (Anderson, the Seppo) has also called for homosexuals to be executed, denied the holocaust and suggested a shooting of a Seppo gay nightclub was not a bad thing - again according to Farrar.
One thing before I continue: Who or what the f@#$ is Caitlyn Jenner?
I digress!
I note that none of the charges are for inciting or committing violence.
He simply asks for a law change and "prays".
Praying, as most adults know, is mainly limited to the loser class and most often involves a card, six numbers, a horse or a roulette wheel.
It has never had any observable effect on either prayer or the deity to whom the loser is praying.
Obviously the Seppo is not the nicest nor brightest but surely banning him simply reinforces his prejudices while allowing him to come and witness life as New Zealanders (outside of politics and universities) live it may just make him think a little more.
Maybe even rationally.
