Vagina and arsehole are two separete, unrelated things. Marriage is not about sticking your d!ck in any old orifice.
Not to mention the outrage of the gays when two heterosexual friends got married - 'Ooh!! they are NOT bugger*ng each other!!! Outrageous!!!! (mince, mince, pout, pout)

Be gay, stay gay.

You married your wife for her vagina, dear boy.

What happened with that?

That's what I thought.

Why not have a postal vote about every contentious issue?

(1) Death penalty for the most heinous crimes.
(2) Euthanasia
(3) What illicit drugs can be made legal.
(4) More or less power to the State Govts.
(5) Green energy policy.
(6) Nuclear power.
(7) debt ceiling for the Govt. ( or will it be 100% of GDP before long?)

Why do homo rights have such a high priority?

Let's have a binding plebiscite on every possible important issue.
There are far more serious issues.

Why just print one issue on piece of paper when dozens of
issues could be printed on the same piece of paper?

I'll tell you why -

the politicians don't want us to have a say -
they want to decide for us.

We live in a fake democracy.

Because they're the last marginalized group that exists in Australia.

OK - are you certain that the politicians truly represent the majority of views? Wouldn't a postal vote on 100 issues tell us?

You can say that again.
We also have an undemocratic Government.

Agree 100%, Bobby. We don't start down that road by getting rid of a plebiscite.

Is it true that Alan Jones was charged with 'outraging public decency' and 'committing an indecent act'?

What exactly did he do?

[/quote]

Anyone? :-/

"outraging public decency" seems pretty ambiguous.

[/quote]

Didn't he offer a hand-shandy to a police officer or was that George Michael?

Why the pretense of a democracy?

What, aside from whining on forums and sitting back and waiting to be sent out a piece of paper you can tick a box on, do you do to represent your democratic rights?

Do you ever lobby? Contact your state and federal representatives? All of the time you take to actually contact them with your concerns, they actually consider as worth a number of votes.

You're not supposed to just turn up to vote every few years and expect them to know what you're thinking. You have to actually tell them.

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

Our 'leaders' know we don't want it; but until we can impress that upon our leaders in some way (short of extremist violence) it will continue. More representative democracy, I say?

They already know the issues - euthanasia is one of them yet
people still die horrific deaths that we wouldn't allow for animals.

So what are you doing about it Bobby? If it means that much to you?

Are you lobbying MP's to agitate for change at least?
