Social Science Unpopular Opinions you have (non-football) Part II

[royboy2]

Scott and Charlene moved to Brisbane. Frighteningly enough it would be their 30th wedding anniversary this year.

How could we forget? Would be nothing without Angry though

I'm not voting but if forced to would vote no.

I'm very interested to see the 'turn out' for this survey

You reckon they would have made 30 years? You wonderful optimist.

I think it will only be the very passionate people for or against. The rest don't care because a yes or no vote will not be binding.

I reckon there's a bit of a groundswell of support for 'yes' from people who might otherwise either vote no or not vote at all out of wanting the no camp (that's 'no' camp, not 'no camp') to lose. It's not really the reason you want people voting yes, but good enough right?

 

[Perth gal]

Gay Marriage will be a thing . It's just a matter of time.

 

[edgie]

Unpopular action?

I'm not enrolling to vote.

 

[Perth gal]

Can I ask why?

Because a yes vote is the start of the loss of religious freedom.

Because a yes vote is the start of the loss of religious freedom.

That's why imo it's in the best interests for theists to have ssm legislated for by the Libs who are most likely to offer greater protection to the churches. Although Catholic influence in the ALP would suggest you shouldn't have much to worry about should they end up drafting amendments to the Marriage Act.

Oh **** off.

If two people who you don't know want to get married, why does it ****ing matter? Imagine if your son was gay and wanted to get married, and couldn't.

Because a yes vote is the start of the loss of religious freedom.

But how? I don't think anyone is forcing churches or mosques to marry same sex couples.

How so do you think this?

People have already been jailed in the US over their refusal to marry same sex couples.

I politely ask you to check the name of this thread again.

Would be interesting to know what the result would if it was compulsory compared to how it is being run out.
As someone said it will mainly be the passionate on either side who vote- I think it will be a 'no' vote FWIW.

They were Civil Servants refusing to do their job and coercing other people into not doing their job. The person did not go to jail or lose her right to religious freedom or expression. She refused to do her job and coerced. Thats an offence

Be interesting to see how this one pans out, pun not intended.

 

[ioppolo]

Religious freedom being threatened? Using that logic means we should be still living everything by the bible. I'm no athiest or religion hater but there's no reason religion can't evolve with the times. That means accepting gay marriage. Religion won't collapse because of it.

Lul what?

You are still allowed to practice religion - you are in fact FORCING yours on other people by voting for the law to stay as it is.

Lunacy

PG that woman in the US not only didn't want to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples, but also didn't allow her underlings to do the same. she worked for the government, not for a church or religious institution, so I don't see how her religious freedom was compromised here.

I understand your objection, but we live in a free and secular country and outside of churches/mosques/places of worship, I don't see why religious expression should be catered for to every individual.

 

[Scotland]

LOL religious freedom.

Margaret Court thinks gay marriage is a Hitler commie plot. If a non-religious person started rambling about people having devils inside them at whatnot they'd be committed.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

If you don't want a SSM, then don't marry a gay person. It's not gonna be made compulsory.

 

[Scotland]

But the children. They're after the children.

Before you know it fidget spinners will be out and **** will be in.

 

[Gough]

I can understand religious objection, it's called faith for a reason, but it's those without faith who still oppose ssm that I don't understand at all.

I know some reeaaaallly terrible parents, but I guess cos they're straight it's all good.
