Beware the moral high ground : Comments

By Peter Wilson, published 30/8/2017

Her central tenet of 'don't tell me what to think' is one that has been all too familiar in recent political debates.

Don't tell me what to think, she says? Well, somebody should, given if the lady does, it would likely be a new novel experience, especially if guided by the facts and scientific rigor!

But the whole issue and how we are going to vote in a "survey, may well be premature, given the right to appropriate money for a political stunt, has yet to pass the scrutiny and consent of the high court! And anything but a done deal!

Which then could see it deferred to where and when the coalition just doesn't want it, as an issue for the next election, where given the registrations, record number of young voters will cast a ballot!?

And where a plainly divisive Tony Abbott, may well struggle to hold his seat?

As for all this confected, highly conflated slippery slope rubbish, none of the other nations where SSM has been legalized have yet to report any obvious examples of this very dubious claim?

In any event, a long overdue chapter of irrevocable rights would prevent most if not all of the vociferous confected claims manifesting! Moreover, we remain the only democracy without one!

Strangely, those most against SSM, are also the ones most fiercely resistant to the latter? Go figure!

Alan, are you sure the yes campaign is being factual?

The yes campaign is trying to say the no campaign is lacking on a factual basis but I think you may be in for a surprise.

I had a poofter try to get into my pants when I was about 12, & have hated them all ever since.

I think we should still be putting them in prison, to protect us from things like AIDS, their most recent gift6 to the comunity.

Guess where my vote will be going, despite, [or perhaps because of] being insulted by people like this author & Alan B.

//I had a poofter try to get into my pants when I was about 12, & have hated them all ever since.//

If you were 12, then what you're describing is paedophilia, Hasbeen. It's not the same thing as homosexuality: people that are homosexual are attracted adults of the same sex. People that are attracted to prepubescent children are, by definition, paedophiles rather than poofters.

And everybody hates paedophiles. I hate 'em, you hate 'em, even the deadbeats in our prison system reserve a particular loathing for rock-spiders.

//I think we should still be putting them in prison//

We do imprison paedophiles, Hasbeen.

//their most recent gift6 to the comunity.//

Neither paedophiles nor homosexuals were responsible for HIV crossing the species barrier from primates to people. That gift came courtesy of Africans hunting primates for food.

But hey, why let the science stand in the way of good rant?
