Meanwhile our entire car manufacturing industries have gone, yet this once in a hundred year 'game changing event' hardly gets a mention as ssm is the most important issue on the agenda. Go figure! Then there is the citizenship issues with our pollies that seems to be getting quite a bit of 'air time' as well.

So here we have it, the two biggest issues on the agenda are ssm and citizenships of our pollies, both very costly issues and neither is going to improve our current economical debacle. Meanwhile, the loss of our car industries could have a massive impact on our economy, but it's not important enough to be discussed.

AJ,

I have no intention on wasting any more time or bandwidth on this silly attempt by you to assuage your embarrassment over your original error. We've both read the book that you used to support your altered assertions (your original assertions having been shown to be absurd) about the family and it contains no data to speak of but just assertion.

I appreciate your desperation to remove those errors from the record but I just can't be bothered playing along any longer.

Of course you don’t, mhaze.

<<I have no intention on wasting any more time or bandwidth on this silly attempt by you to assuage your embarrassment over your original error.>>

Wouldn’t want to dig ourselves in any deeper now, would we? That's alright, I have all the bandwidth in the world to keep reminding you of how dishonest you are. Especially after you had spent 12 months taunting me over a memory slip, as if I should have been embarrassed about it.

And my original error? Forgetting that the book spoke only of Australia. Gee, how embarrassing.

<<We've both read the book that you used to support your altered assertions … about the family and it contains no data to speak of but just assertion.>>

And you’re still claiming to have read the book. Unbelievable. The book lists its references.

<<I appreciate your desperation to remove those errors from the record …>>

Yeah, how mortifying for me. I’m so embarrassed.

Seriously, though, you never demonstrated my original claim to be absurd, you simply cited some mysterious historians regarding family structures in North-East Europe. That you are STILL flogging this dead horse is a demonstration of just how baseless your position must be.

I understand that the idea of the nuclear family being the bedrock of Western civilisation is important to your politics and worldview, but that doesn’t make it so.

Foxy and SR,
As much as you try to divert opposing opinions to strawmen you will not succeed as the issue is about the adverse impact same sex unions will have on the current institution of marriage if it is allowed to be called marriage.

The word gay used to mean a happy person but since it was hijacked, supposedly to improve the image of homosexuals, the word has now become a word of offence. The same thing will happen to marriage. Marriage will become something to be avoided because of association with homosexuals and their dirty sex practices. Like it or not, anal sex is dirty and the risk of injury and infection of all kinds is greatly increased, this includes HIV and sexual transmitted diseases as well urinary tract and kidney infections. One should be aware that Tetenus is another disease that lives in feces, both animal and human. and that Tetenus kills some 60,000 people per anumn.

Can you imagine the transfer of bacteria by penis or hand from anus to mouth or virgina. People generally do not practice hygiene matters very well. It is common to see parents allowing a dog to lick their kids faces, yet dogs often lick anuses. How many actually wash their hands before eating hand held food in a food court.

I do not care what people do in their bedrooms to each other, but I do care when their reputed actions adversely impact on a respected institution like marriage.

Banjo,

Yep. The Left, including those on OLO, are getting more desperate and hysterical by the hour.
