Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour.  Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe?  Tsk, tsk, tsk...   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

"In a free society, men and women should be able to express their point of view without people running off to government authorities saying, 'Oh, I feel offended about what somebody said'."

Some people are 'concerned' about that. Tsk, tsk   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes



If I was interviewing for a job and had an Australian applicant with no tats, facial ironmongery, green hair etc, a niqabi/bearded son of Mohammed and a raging LGBT/climate activist with tats and tongue stud and pink hair I would choose the best candidate for the job - the normal, nice Australian. Who wants to turn away customers?

Would I need to hide behind some religious shield? Yes - but I shouldn't have to. But we now need legislation to keep in check the snarling 'equity' mongers who are twiggered by everything and call every different view supremacists, colonialist, oppressive.


"The better the society, the less law there will be. In Heaven there will be no law, and the lion will lie down with the lamb. The values of an unjust society will reflect themselves in an unjust law. The worse the society, the more law there will be. In Hell there will be nothing but law, and due process will be meticulously observed."
Just so.

Exemptions for Religious beliefs....Na....Too complicated, unnecessary, counter productive and open to abuse by those who use religion to promote hate!!!

Huh Huh Huh

Rational arguments don't usually work on religious people. Otherwise, there wouldn't be religious people.

Rational arguments work on no one where someone's faith is concerned and is being threatened... And not just religious faith.

If someone's taken on anything as a matter of faith, they will offer you no criteria of falsifiability.

I'm going to laugh when the same people calling for this bill, will be crying out for harsher penalties when some Islamic extremist uses this bill for their own ends  Grin Grin Grin

Is it always intellectual outrage with you?

No humour? Just the schoolmaster from 'Another Brick in the Wall'?

Q.
If it goes through the Australian parliament, will all of my OzPol posts relating to followers of ISLAM have to be removed,
because 'now' they will be too offensive [to moslems] to be able to be expressed ?

What say you brian ?



.



Moslem = = a follower of ISLAM.

MY ARGUMENT;
1/ Every moslem is a follower of ISLAM.

2/ And ISLAM is a philosophy which mandates that its followers must fight and kill people, who reject ISLAM, and reject the primacy of ISLAMIC law.

And, a new attack is going to occur whenever      any individual moslem [living among us, in Australia] decides that 'now' is a good moment for him to prove his devotion to ISLAM and to Allah.

I thought that at first, but I think what they're proposing isn't prohibited by that Section.

Now, this is going to come as huge surprise but I heard an interview with Michaelia Cash this afternoon, on this subject, and she actually made some sense and was quite articulate.

Make no mistake though, I'm no fan of hers.  And, I'm an atheist.

Personally, if a Catholic school wants to hire only Catholic teachers, I don't have a huge problem with that.

I wonder if the Valkies/Gordons/Franks of the world feel the same way about Muslim schools.

I have no problem with religious schools or institutions being able to hire people of their faith which they already do....Why do we need to waste time on a perception when there is no problem....I am agnostic by the way!!!
