Dear Is Mise,

Go back to the link I gave you in my previous post
and read the entire link please.
You will find that the quote:

"The ABS this morning revealed Australians voted YES to same-
sex marriage, with 61.6% in favour and 38.4% against."

It's just above the big letters of HOW Australia voted -
the national results.

What the heck's the matter with you?

Is Mise,

I don't care either way about the result. So it is 'whatever' from me.

It has (pre-)occupied the national broadcaster and politicians in the federal parliament for years.

Hoping for some action finally on those 'wicked' problems.

Foxy,

"What the heck's the matter with you?"

My problem is that I think that you can't quote accurately.

You quoted the ABS as saying
"61.6% of the Australian population votes YES.

38.4% of the Australian population voted NO."

that is not on their site so how could you quote it?

You most have made it up.

Where have you been Leoj, doing your Ripvanwanker act again, "Hoping for some action finally on those 'wicked' problems" With the rabid right backed up by the Christian fudo's, and other lunatics, they tried everything they could to avoid the inevitable. Finally painted into a corner they wasted over $100 million of taxpayers money on a public survey which only confirmed what we all knew, that the vast majority of Australians supported gay marriage. Laws are now in place which reflect the wish of the people. End of story.

Issy, stop pretending to be a dumb arse nit picker, and accept what is fact. You never know if you butter up Leoj, he may let you into his little secret about solo anal sex, something he's perfected. Leoj is so preoccupied with discussing that particular aspect of sex on the forum, I'm sure he gets off on it.

Merry Christmas Issy, Leo, Foxy. I'm off to the big celebration at a Family Christmas gathering tonight with the tribe.

Time for a bit of a Christmas hit.

Boy, Paul1405 has got to be the sorest winner I've ever heard. I'd hate to be around when he loses. We all know I'm pissed off that the Yes won, even though I hold on to my values and beliefs and I feel a sense of waters being muddied over this result, but they are my beliefs like it or not. Sure us NO campaigners will not accept the outcome because there have been too many questions along the way. Now that it's over there are still more questions, if only about the veracity and strength of the numbers, when all the 'bar' talk was NO. If we were in the US we would call this the 'college vote' as I believe the outcome ,socially, has been an untrue representation of the actual and true feelings of the real and majority of the eligible voters. Had they all voted, I believe it would have been very close, but also the outcome would have been different. But, there you have it. Paul, you won, enjoy your Christmas and the rest of your life. You live to argue another day.

Dear Paul,

Enjoy Your Christmas.

I've been cooking for the past two days.

Tomorrow evening is our special family feast -
and as always it's at our house with all the
traditional Lithuanian Christmas-Eve dishes
all sea-food and salads and yummy desserts.
Christmas Day lunch is the Glazed Ham, Turkey,
Christmas veggies et cetera. I usually do that
as well but this year my daughter-in-law has
volunteered to do it (Yay!). Still,I am bringing
a turkey - to help.

Enjoy all the magic of Christmas - and may the
New Year bring all of us Good Health and Happiness.

And as my brother would say -

"Give them heaps!"
