open24hours posted:existence enables suffering wow man that's deep e: You know the more I think about it, the more I love that you're literally arguing "X exists, therefore X can suffer, therefore X should not exist" which, if you follow the logic, implies that nothing capable of suffering should exist.

Huge shitlords Marriage Alliance just launched a new ad campaign that will no doubt resonate deeply with Australians: Follow this tortured logic if you can: Gay marriage leads to "politically correct" "bullying" in the workplace. So uh. I... it's kind of difficult to actually respond coherently to that really. So I'll hand over to Equal Marriage Rights Australia: Equal Marriage Rights Australia posted:While this is clearly a disgusting metaphor from Marriage Alliance, it's not nearly as bad as the group themselves. This secretive collection of LNP ex-candidates, ex-LNP presidents, LNP staffers, LNP-associated advertising agencies and rich children of ex-LNP politicians throw out misleading TV ads aimed specifically at demeaning LGBTI families, programming them during children's TV hours where our children see them. They appear as 'regional representatives' at international conferences with US-based hate groups, while those same groups work with governments developing policies to charge and jail LGBTI people worldwide. We're not the ones holding a noose. http://www.facebook.com/GMRA1/photos/a.10150171680425516.350414.91345705515/10153786430895516/?type=3&theater

Birb Katter posted:Sanctuary hasn't been legal for over 400 years so it's moral posturing rather than legit safe harbour, still a bit though. Some big church diocese have weight in on it too. It doesn't really matter if it's legal, what matters is that there may be international visibility of federal police and border force thugs raiding churches and pushing religious people to the ground so that they can take refugee babies to literal concentration camps. I kind of hope it comes to that, in some ways, if they're going to be taken anyway. It might be enough to change some minds.

NTRabbit posted:I don't identify as anything, barring which team I'm supporting at a given contest. Bahahaha what "debate and free thought" gets stifled by minorities and/or the vulnerable having a place that they can identify as their own? I'm serious, please provide one concrete example of the kind of stifling you're talking about, because I can't come up with jack poo poo.

Tony Abbott makes joke about wet dreams in Parliament, no-one laughs The video is worth watching. The awkward pause where he waits for laughs and then looks down and licks his lips is pure, concentrated schadenfreude.

A Saucy Bratwurst posted:if someone doesn't look and gets hit despite the driver driving safely, it's 100% their fault. No, this is utter crap. If the driver is driving safely near a pedestrian crossing, they can't hit anyone. This is the definition of driving safely near a pedestrian crossing - not hitting pedestrians. quote:Even if the driver doesn't slow down when they approach the crossing, it's still realistically the pedestrians fault they got hit. No. Since this seems to be a difficult concept, let's use small words to lay out the logic. The word "Pedestrian" means a person who is walking on their feet. The word "Crossing" means a place where things go across other things So a "Pedestrian Crossing" on a road is a place where people walk on their feet and go across the road. This means that a person driving on the road can think in their mind that there will be people walking on their feet across the road at the "Pedestrian Crossing" at any time. Lots of "Pedestrian Crossings" are at schools and shopping centres. Lots of them have lots of kids or old people who walk on them. Kids and old people sometimes don't think very fast in their minds about being careful. So a person driving on the road should always be ready for people to walk across the road, even without looking, when they are near a "Pedestrian Crossing". This is why "Pedestrian Crossings" are made in our world. I hope that this has helped you to know how a "Pedestrian Crossing" works better.

The thing about religious nutters is that lots of religious kids eventually think "Bullshit" and stop being religious. The only people who become religious are people who've had a mental breakdown or are otherwise vulnerable due to their circumstances - overcoming addiction, etc. This probably leads to a net loss of religious people over time, despite the way that they seem to breed like loving rabbits. I posit that the outcomes of this are 1) the proportion of the population who are religious nutters will steadily decrease over time, but 2) the religious nutters will become a stronger and more potent form of religious nutter over time. Concentrating the insanity, as it were. However, it would seem reasonable to predict that politicians will eventually have to stop pandering to them as the religious nutter demographic grows slimmer and slimmer, unless the loving Muzzos take over and implement that Shareear thing.

chyaroh posted:There are plenty of quietly religious people out there who do the Picard face-palm every time the ACL or the LNP open their mouths on religious issues. It's the noisy nutters who need to go away. Just like ISIS are a vanishingly small percentage of Muslims world-wide, groups like ACL tend to represent a minority of Christians. Unfortunately they tend to be both loud and well-funded. Well why don't those moderate Christians come out and denounce the ACL and LNP? Hmm? Sounds like they actually approve of it to me.

It's like a troll, but with everything memorable sucked out of it, so it's just like a picture of a troll being tossed onto a table by someone who then wanders away with a blank expression. A+ performance art showing up the hollowness of forum interaction.
