Dear Joel,

On the one hand you criticise the progressive movement, for whatever it's worth, while on the other, your suggestion is more progressive than all - to push even more people onto the internet, playing straight into Gillard's hands.

I regularly listen to the ABC radio while driving, both for news and current affairs and for classical music on ABC/FM, I don't listen to other stations as I am not willing to allow commercial advertising to enter my ears. I believe that I am mature enough to separate between hard facts and silly opinions, so I would be quite unhappy if your suggestion goes through.

Note also that the internet is subject to all kinds of malicious abuse and is controlled from overseas. If America flips the switch, all routing (both at DNS and IP level) can be diverted, effectively shutting the internet down and/or directing users to the wrong sites where anything can happen. Traditional radio is more reliable, doesn't depend on external fixtures and is much more difficult to divert: lose it - and lose your independence.

Alan Joyce a homosexual stated in April,""If you're unhappy with a company that's involved with the (homosexual marriage) campaign, you won't be able to bank and you won't be able to fly anywhere."

This tells customers to embrace the rainbow agenda or take their business elsewhere. This is bullying the public, and Joyce deserves a rebuttal.

Not really, Josephus.

<< This tells customers to embrace the rainbow agenda or take their business elsewhere. This is bullying the public …>>

Those against marriage equality still have the right to use those services. They’re just going to have a hard time of it if they want to boycott companies because of the stance they hold on the issue.

For centuries homosexual people have been bullied, bashed, killed, and even tortured, and now you lot want to have a whinge because you’re in the minority and on the wrong side of history. Well, cry me a flippin’ river.

You would probably garner more sympathy if any of you could support your opposition to same-sex marriage with a rational argument, but until you do, you will just look like a pack of bigots. It reminds me of all the hypocritical complaints from Christians in the US about how they're being persecuted as a majority.

“Yes, the long war on Christianity. I pray that one day we may live in an America where Christians can worship freely! In broad daylight! Openly wearing the symbols of their religion... perhaps around their necks? And maybe - dare I dream it? - maybe one day there can be an openly Christian President. Or, perhaps, 43 of them consecutively.” - Jon Stewart

'For centuries homosexual people have been bullied, bashed, killed, and even tortured, and now you lot want to have a whinge because you’re in the minority and on the wrong side of history.'

amazing AJ that you know history before its happened. Yeah it is true that history has been written in advance and you seem far to ignorant to see that you are on the wrong side of it. Luke 17:28-30 Just another little lie from secular dogma (you are on the wrong side of history)that will prove wrong.

No matter how proud the 'gay pride mob' and supporters become you will not win out.

Yuyutsu, "you criticise the progressive movement"

I am usually careful to indicate that 'progressive' is usually being observed in its absence by those who have borrowed the term. Also, I am not keen on masks. Particularly where it is International Socialism that is being masked. Just use that or simply 'Socialism'. Labor's leaders (to use some examples) don't like using socialism in public any more but it is a rallying call at their knees-ups. That is sly and fake.

You are normally polite and use correct user names.

AJ.
You make a fuss about a few homosexuals being abused, and they should not be abused. Yet you downplay the deliberate mowing down and murder of innocent people by Muslims. Double standards on your part. Homosexuals in our society are equally protected by the law.
