The bans get lifted on the dates listed. However the old password will not work for the user so they have to click on the button to reset their password and then login in with the new one.

“Only a few weeks till my ban’s over.”

This doesn’t necessarily mean you will be permitted to post. Redbaiter’s ban was up some days ago, yet I have it on good authority he is still forbidden to post on Kiwiblog.

Better Dead, Surely Farrar hasn’t got around to allowing you to post is all. I mean, what else was the ban on except on posting? How can a ban on posting end, but a ban on posting remain?

If you read this DPF, please lift the ban on Redbaiter & Nome!

hey DPF – how’s it going? Only a few weeks till my ban’s over.

oh and BTW – gender relations in NZ have come a long way since the early 1980s (well at least on the left). You should know that.

The 1984 caucus was also well below the 27% National now has. Same for the 1987 caucus.

Inventory- What Jafa omits from the above comment is that they (the rednecks) would most likely be Democrat voters. The South, with its largely slave owner/ racist society was always a Democrat stronghold. Racism has always rent the left, and it does so today.

JP said “You should try travelling around the South of the US and talk to some real rednecks. Then you’d learn about emotion and conservative politics.”

Not to mention the right to bear arms eh JP!

I2, QED!

Better Dead, you’re going to give Redbaiter a run for his money at this rate. Perhaps you are Redbaiter! Anyway, given you’ve adopted an old redneck saw as an alias, I love your statement “Progressive political ideas appeal more to emotion than to reason”. You should try travelling around the South of the US and talk to some real rednecks. Then you’d learn about emotion and conservative politics.

“What happened to women’s left-lobes in recent years?”

Damn good question Jafa. Right on the button for once. I’m sure we could both write endlessly on the issue. My take would be that the woman’s so called liberation fad and their increased attendance at universities etc has just been a cover for the widespread introduction of progressive political ideas to women. Example Helen Clark.

Progressive political ideas appeal more to emotion than to reason, hence their popularity with the fairer sex. Hell, you only have to look at the dropkick guys they team up with to know most wimmen let their hearts rule their heads.

Wimmen vote left by nature. Its a left lobe-right lobe thing. Emotion over reason. Take the vote away from wimmin, and the Labour government would never be elected again.

Better Dead, great self-parody. Funny thing is, you only have to go back a few decades and the pattern was that women in NZ tended to vote National nore than men. It was said at the time that this natural conservatism was due to the urge to protect the family. What happened to women’s left-lobes in recent years?
