“Where being a lesbian isn’t going to see the males in the organisation or business harass her for not going out with them?”
Hahaha please, if you’ve ever seen a happy lesbian in your life then please, share the story. They go out of their way to be unattractive to men because they’re unattractive to themselves. I’ve never seen a bloke chase a lesbian in my life and I doubt you have either. |

But if you cross two heterosexuals you get heterosexual.
Sorry mate but Gay is not a choice as much as you iwsh it to be. You stated there was no gay gene, I just said that that was an opinion and not the absolute you made it out to be.
“That’s just an opinion” is exactly how Homeopaths and anti-vaccine loons defend their idiotic nonsense.
You do not appear to be the full quid.
Personal insults are the why you defend you idiotic nonsense.
Basically the denial of people who quiet plainly exist soley because you don’t particulaly like them does not really sound taht coherrent of an arguement.
Gay people exist. It isn’t a choice. Gte over your silly dislike for them and lead a better life. |

It’s quite sad, actually. Also sad that we allow it here.
It only occurs because catholics/christians can’t keep to themselves. Want a religion? Fine, believe in whatever the hell you want. But they can’t just do that, can they? They have to attempt to interfere and influence the lives of people who have no time for their ridiculous fairy tales. Hence the bashing.
If the church saves 0.2% of GDP each year, that’s great. But I do wonder how much they’d contribute if we taxed them, instead of all their investments and activities hiding behind that “but we’re a charity” wall.
+ infinity and beyond
What if it were another religious group? Would we be as upset? |

“Assaulting police is rarely the result of rational thought.”
What crime is the result of rational thought though?
The ones who don’t get caught? Or seek to get caught to make a political point?
So a great great many really.
There’s an important distinction between rationality in and rationality of.
A irrational act can be undertaken rationally, and vice verse.
So more to the point, what crime is the result of a rational decision to break societal norms?
To break the law always requires a certain amount of irrationality. Indeed it’s very dangerous to start speaking of rationality in breaking the law because so many major criminals, including political ones in history, have spoken of the rationality of what they did what they did. |

Hmm, for a guy who doesn’t like people misquoting him, you sure do a lot of it. Can you point out where I said “but…coal”?
FFS! I think my brain just exploded.
You added those quote marks in YOURSELF to make it appear as though I had written something I did not.

Lunatic.

There was a study done (in the USA) on prayer v. health outcomes. Basically, being prayed for tended to delay your recovery.
I’m not aware of any similar study showing that prayer has a negative effect on productivity.

Even if that religious education promotes hatred, discrimination and bigotry against a section of the community..Gays and women for example?.
It doesn’t.
Here’s a clue: just because people don’t agree with you and don’t share your values does not entitle you to use political correctness to attempt to shut them up. Think about the communist origins of your approach to public debate before trying to label people in future.
So linking it back to the original post about there going to be a new Catholic Archbishop of Canberra. Can you tell me how many women, or openly gay men will be eligible for this highly paid and extremely influential position?
How does your question relate to your patently false assertion to the effect that, religious education promotes hatred, discrimination and bigotry?
Answer: It doesn’t. This is the logical fallacy known as the non-sequitur. Do try harder.

Just reported by the ABC (so it must be right):
“Electricity prices in Canberra are set to increase by more than 17 per cent, adding about $244 to annual power bills.
The Independent Competition and Regulatory Commission (ICRC) is charged with setting the price of electricity in the ACT.
It has released its draft review of costs to take effect from July 1, for the 2012-2013 financial year.
The commission estimates the increase will add an extra $244 a year to the average household electricity bill, or about $4.70 a week.
The ICRC says the majority of the increase is due to the Federal Government’s carbon tax.
Senior commissioner Malcolm Gray says the Australian Government’s price on carbon contributed to 13 per cent of the price rise, or about $3.65 per week.
He says the other 4 per cent is due to increases in network charges and delivery costs.
Mr Gray says the price rise does not take into consideration the ACT Government’s energy efficiency scheme, due to commence on January 1, 2013.
He says the commission will consider the impact of that scheme in its price direction for 2013-2014.
The commission is required to set power prices for two years, but this draft is only for 12 months.
Mr Gray says the ICRC will review the electricity market again next financial year after the price on carbon comes into effect, before setting prices for 2013-2014″

Funny how the same argument doesn’t seem to apply to people who say “there is no God”.
Actually the same logic does apply. “there is no God” is the null hypothesis, the clue is in the word “no”. So the people arguing there is a god would need to come up with proof of their hypothesis.
Saying “there is no gay gene” requires evidence, according to Erg0. Yet saying “there is no God” doesn’t. That was my point. |

And you can hint all you want, but as I have said your words speak volumes about you.
Funny how you are totally unable to quote what I have said, which gave rise to your fantasies about me and my life.
Funny how you seem to think you have a magical ability to read between lines, but are totally unable to substantiate anything.
Why not debate what I have actually written? It would be far better than listening to what the mouse in your pocket is telling you. |

Bagging Catholics/Christians openly is no different to bagging any other group. I wonder how people would feel if we openly bagged some other part of the community?
I don’t think any of it is acceptable. |

In bloodnuts case it is hard to argue as it has been pointed out in this thread that apparently it is against the law. I do understand his frustration though, unless Jo Citizen studies law for a living how was he supposed to know.
Presumably he was informed of the law and verbally cautioned. Why he’s got his knickers in a twist is beyond me.
As you said yourself in an earlier post – the law is a stupid one.
Then you went on to agree with the following post that there should be less stupid laws.
Which is you making my point better than I could.
So we are in agreement after all.
Why should anyone be pulled up and cautioned on an obscure (in your words – stupid) point of law when they’re ambling along with their dog on a sunny afternoon.
Counter-productive in both the context of community safety and strengthening community relationships.
Nice to see we could finally reach a concensus and that The Riot Act brought us that much closer together.
If you’re really nice I’ll let you untwist my knickers for me.
What dribble. Next time you make a stupid comment, just quit while you’re behind, rather than keep digging. You made a stupid comment (making yourself look like a twat), numerous people called you out on it, now let’s all move on. |
