In the meantime, good news coming out of Australia.

I swear to god...
She battled through in every kind of tribulation,
She revelled in adventure and imagination.
She never listened to no hater, liar,
Breaking boundaries and chasing fire.
Oh, my my! Oh my, she flies!

I have learned after many excruciating experiences never to follow any YouTube ink a certain forum member posts. Even when said forum member makes it look like a regular link. your reaction has confirmed that my caution is justified.

This link also describes a stupid argument against same sex marriage.
The judge also dismissed other arguments by Mr Lyons that those citizens who did not vote had in effect voted No and therefore the sovereign people had not approved this amendment.
Both Mr Walshe and Mr Lyons opposed applications by the State and Referendum Commission for costs against them on grounds they brought their applications on behalf of the people and the national interest.
The judge ruled there were no exceptional circumstances in this case which would allow costs not be awarded against the applicants. He added he might have come to a different conclusion had a significant point been raised.

The thing that makes it worse is that even after such long experience, it only crossed my mind as a possibility in the split second between clicking and being assailed.

I need feminism because of Jerome. It's your fault, Jerome.

The nutters are not giving up. Apparently, a group called the "Children's Protection Society" has been handing out this poll. For what reason, who knows?

I almost hesitate to ask if the composers actually believe half the crap they put on there.

Almost worth booking a holiday to Ireland just to tell the volunteers handing that questionnaire out to "fuck right off".

The incomprehension and manufacturing of positions there reminds me very much of one of our newer members.
I'm not an atheist; I just don't believe in gods :- that which I don't belong to isn't a group!
