yeah we've been over that and

debunked it

peccer...

Incorrect.

You've debunked nothing.

All you've done is demonstrate your ability to ignore facts and tell lies.

If you wish to continue, you'll have to do a lot better.

Where's the Cuckoo emoticon?
Not my fault you were away.
Not my fault you are so biased.
Not my fault you tell lies.
Claiming 720 Australians is all Australians is dishonest to say the least.

When do polls count to you then Grendel? When they tell you something you want to hear?

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

Two senior Coalition MPs have suggested that Australia could do away with the Marriage Act entirely and instead have civil unions for everyone, with only religious organisations able to marry couples.

Good idea.

That might be very acceptable.
But then they'll be envious of that and demand churches etc not be allowed to discriminate.

From the article....

Quote:

The idea was slammed as "appalling" by marriage equality advocates.

Talk about a hospital pass to Churches! Bloody hell......get on with it......two/three words in the Marriage Act and this is all over. Maybe then we can address insignificant matters like euthanasia and having a logical (not popularist) approach to our disillusioned young idiots.

Well, the hoof will show then, won't it - it's not about 'marriage equality' but about dragging everyone down to the inverts' level.

I'm not.

Personally, I think gay marriage is "icky".

I've always said so.

However, the majority of Australians support gay marriage.

I'm just reporting the facts.

You'll have to get used to it.

Ignoring facts and telling lies may be OK for children, however, you're an adult now - time to start acting like one.

Nice strawman yet again peccerhead, but just another lie... plenty of posts by me here and on other sites saying the only valid poll is election day.
Oh... too bad, so sad... wrong again. Roll Eyes

Stop trolling and address the facts.

These alleged "polls' are deliberately set to provide a predetermined result, they are meaningless and do not represent the views of the broad cross section of Australian society.

HOW MANY TIMES MUST YOU BE TOLD THIS IS NOT CORRECT? HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GOING TO REPEAT A LIE?

I'm just reporting the facts. I've already told you the facts.... 720 people of dubious opinion...

NOT ALL AUSTRALIANS NO WHERE NEAR ALL AUSTRALIANS.

You'll have to get used to it.

OH I'M USED TO YOUR TROLLING AND LYING... most here would be. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO STOP IT?

Reality deniers say the same thing on "If an election were held tomorrow ... " voting intention polls - when they don't like what they HEAR

Yet when an ACTUAL election is held at the same time, results are rarely more than a percentage point or two either way

DESPITE opinion poll samples being only between one and two thousand
