Respect ? :) haha de haha...

On the strength of a mere and dubious 'phone call' where the plan to have a celebratory gay event at our Campsite, resulted in CYC Cowes being taken to the EVIL OPPORTUNISM and INHUMAN RIECH commissars and it cost us $5000. (appealed)

The 'pledge' is the gay equivalent of Islamic Taqqiya.

Having seen the rabid, merciless and cold nature of some gay activists in action...at the 'gay marriage debate' with Bill Meuhlenberg in Hawthorn... I have no doubts whatsover that the 'Pledge' is nothing more than a 'end justfies the means' deal.

Shintaro:

I'm unable to access your link therefore - I'm not clear exactly what you want discussed in this thread. Bill Meulenberg's stand against gay marriage, Graham Young, for having published Meulenberg's article, or gay marriage itself? Kindly clarify. Thank You.

Shintaro:

Please ignore my previous post. I've just read the link that Poirot provided (should have done that earlier - and the title of your thread should have given me a clue) however, I think that I now get it. Freedom of Speech is always a complex issue, especially from an editor's point of view. An editor must be seen to be objective - however, it's not an easy task, the ultimate decision is the editor's,
and of course being only human, the editor won't be able to please everyone all of the time. People tend to see the world from a viewpoint of subjectivity, an interpretation based on personal values and experiences. As I've written in the past if the world consisted simply of some self-evident reality that everyone perceived in exactly the same way, there might be no disagreement among readers. The truth of the matter is that what we see and read is determined not by what's "out there," but is shaped by what our past experience has prepared us to see and by what we consciously or unconsciously want to see. Inevitably, then, Editors, like anyone else, will be guilty of some measure of bias - the tendency, often unconscious, to interpret facts according to one's own values. This problem occurs in all media outlets but it becomes particularly acute where the subject matter involves issues of deep human and moral concern. I'm truly sorry that IBM and ANZ have withdrawn their support from OLO - however they are business institutions and probably don't want to risk
losing their gay customers. Hopefully replacement sponsors will be found.

Shintaro, "Discuss"

What is preventing you from putting forward your opinion and some argument to support it? That is how the forum works.
