we are used to dummy spits these days when the umpire gives a decision. The adamic nature at its worse.

I do not think we can dismiss the idea that a greater percentage of men living in Australia would enter a polygamous marriage if the law allowed than men seeking a same sex marriage.

It won't be a problem Josephus, because no sane Government would ever allow legal polygamous marriage.

In the unlikely event that they might, they would also have to allow women to marry multiple men as well, and that certainly wouldn't happen!

As far as gay marriage goes, it's only a matter of time.

All Governments are slowly seeing reason and not listening to religious claptrap as much anymore I see.

On 21 November, Tasmania became the third Australian jurisdiction (after the ACT and Victoria) to decriminalise abortion.
There's hope for a more secular society yet...

Dear Suse,

I think you're spot on. The states are starting first,
the rest of the country will follow. It's a gradual
process but inevitably with the support of the people
changes will happen.

Dear Poirot,

I'm sorry that I couldn't post to you earlier.
I had used up all of my posting limits and had to
wait.

Whether in our relationships or in the workplace it
seems we're always negotiating our our own voice.

I've always admired your style of writing and expression
and being secure and unafriad of speaking your own mind.

I've always felt that your intentions were not just
to win the game but that you'd simply spoken your mind without
malice or anger.
Sure we all might say to ourselves at times, "Gee, I shouldn't
have said that or maybe I should have said it differently."
And may be some of us need to work on our presentation (I
know I do),
because it is important to act with civility. But we should
not forsake our own wisdom because we're afraid to lose
something.

What's more important, Losing face, or losing your integrity?

I would hate to have you disappear from this forum.
It would be a much duller place without you.

It's always hard with leftists to know whether they are displaying blatant dishonesty or deep stupidity.

The GG didn't say she supports 'gay marriage' either did she Poirot? No. She expressed the hope that Australia would become a country where "people are free to love and marry whom they choose".

Notice the hatred and sheer blind prejudice of the leftists against polygamous marriage? If someone wants to marry more than one person, and the other parties to the marriage consent, why should that be any more illegal than gay marriage?

Oh that's right. You don't do reason do you? But by all means vomit some more of your bilious hatred into the public domain - it might convince your fellow bigots.

Suseonline,
So you are telling me that the Arab States Governments are insane because they allow polygamy. I think you ought to tell them that. They do not allow homosexuality. Full Stop!
