Foxy, NO, and you know very well that just because someone doesn't feel like getting off his arse to do something, does not mean he does not believe in it.
This SSM thing repulsed so many people, they even refused to discuss it, let alone acknowledge the fact that we had to have anything to do with it.
You know very well how controversial the SSM thing was/is, that's why these 30% or so were not going to engage in an activity they found extremely repugnant and disgusting.
So it is that the numbers do not tell the true story and therefore are untrue, and so do not reflect the true state of SSM.
This is not unique to SSM, it is a common human attitude and has been so for as long as humans have been around so I am certainly not surprised, and neither should anyone else, it is the norm.

Foxy nothing including rage, can change he numbers who voted yes
Too the very minor number who did not vote
Mathematics of politics matter

Belly, sorry but in life the only thing that matters is the TRUTH.
Everything else is a construct.
Why do you think I always speak of demanding the truth?
Why is it, when those like yourself, foxy, te al. are continually challenged.
It is because you speak YOUR truth, your beliefs, your dreams and aspirations.
Foxy is a perfect point in case.
She projects a wonderful aura and vision, and it is wonderful.
BUT it is not real, therefore, it is not true.
She speaks of what she perceives things to be, or would like things to be.
In the real world it is much more negative and aggressive and people are having to fight, maybe metaphorically, but life is NOT the panacea that Foxy attempts to portray or project.
And it is precisely this type of, all be it misguided, message that I challenge, because it is not a true interpretation and description of life today.
We are being overrun by too many bad things, and no-one seems to care.
So if I come off the villain, so be it, I just don't have it in me to support or promote an unrealistic or unnatural cause or untruth.

ALTRAV,

Arguing with you is about as effective as ...
No, never mind.

What matters in political life are the results, the
outcomes. When I speak on issues, it is evidence
based. Yours is merely blather.

As for your coming across as a villain?
No. sadly what you come across as, is a wind-bag full
of hot air.

Regarding same-sex marriage - the reality is its actions
that matter - not feelings or your version of the "truth,"
in influencing decision making, and the passing of
legislation.
Being silent and or "disgusted"does not achieve anything
in policy-making.

Sorry ALTRAV, note your posts are far better than on my arrival back
But not interested in your thoughts, the damage has been done old mate
And too your instance that only your thoughts matter has reinforced my just skipping over you here
Maybe that is another reason the world is in trouble, we take our positions and refuse to see the truth maybe in the middle
Headlines this day is the return in housing prices a dead cat bounce
Well no, more like a thunderstorm of falling cats when it hits

Foxy, nice try.
The evidence and the truth are right there, if you are an honest and truthfull person, and not the opposite, more like the politicians who
passed the SSM law, against the true wishes of the majority, not the usual loud and annoying minority.
Anyway, I know the truth, and at least I can sleep at night relieved that the majority of Aussies still have some morals and convictions.
