Stop all discrimination:

No longer discriminate between green and red lights at intersections.
No longer discriminate between summer and winter: wear the same always.
No longer discriminate on taste and texture: eat rocks, plastic bags, hot coals, your friend's ears and whatever else comes to hand.
No longer discriminate on age: send them all to school, from babies to nursing-home residents.
No longer discriminate based on medical conditions: give everyone an aspirin.
No longer discriminate between good and evil: burglars, druggies and child molesters should be awarded "Australian of the year" just like everyone else... and everyone should also do equal jail-time.
No longer discriminate between pools that are filled with water and pools that are empty: jump into both, head first.

Every developed form of life discriminates, even amoebas - perhaps we should only allow viruses to live... Wait, that's discrimination!

Yuyutsu,

Once again, you commit the Equivocation fallacy with regards to the definitions of the word 'discrimination'.

Hanging bakers and now discrimination towards traffic lights. Your hyperbole has really stepped up a notch, hasn't it?

Dear Is Mise,

Great sentiment. I also agree wholeheartedly.

Dear Paul,

It was sobering to see how the recent immigrants teamed up with the right-wing in this country to make up a sizable chunk of the “No” vote. Strange bedfellows indeed. I'm sure there will be more of it coming our way unfortunately.

The statistic I love more than any other was that around 80% women between the ages of 70 - 74 voted yes.

Matriarchal perspective from those who now presumably have grandchildren. Love it.

Well there you have it. I would never have thought that so many Aussies would have approved of anal intercourse and anal licking. Funny thing is that I have yet to find anyone that will admit openly that they practice anal sex and anal sex is still seen as dirty by the community. After all that is what gives homosexuals a bad name.

I have said that Australia has gone backward since about 1970 and this is proof of that.

My prediction is that 'marriage' will lose its status and fall into disrepute because of it being associated with those that engage in dirty sex. Genuine hetrosexuals will be more likey to avoid marriage in future. That is a pity. Like the word gay has become and offensive word, its tainted.

A Dallas Rogers, western Sydney resident and YES voter is surprised to learn that 12 out of 17 electorates in her area voted NO.

"This is a blow for our strong cultural diversity credentials out West", she said.

Dallas is one of those luvvies who likes to see people of different skin colour, speaking different languages and wearing different clothes, because she supports 'diversity - but not diversity of thought, or the culture immigrants bring with them, if they don't think the same way she does about fake marriage between people of the same sex.

Sorry, Dallas. When you sign up to diversity, you have to take the full package. And there are many more of these people coming to live near you. (ABC.net)

In a land of no discrimination, there will be a level playing field and after the appropriate legislation is passed we can look forward to stopping the churches from discriminating, after all why should a church be allowed to discriminate and excommunicate a person just because they disagree with some of that church's teachings?
