I shake my head at what this place has turned into.
I shake my head at day 2 or 3 of the nastiness that surrounds this debate. It's like two wolf packs fighting over territory.

History will show that this should never have come to this and and should have been dealt by parliament except for a bunch of nasty right wing conservatives and their shenanigans that preferred that our society spills into a cluster f**k of division, just so they can try and derail and defer the inevitable.

Agree with this.

The way this debate has played out on the forum is pretty nasty.

But not as nasty as me, obviously.

Spoke to my nephew last night, he's gay and a terrific bloke who lives life , no complications

He said that the worst thing in his mind, was not letting the plebiscite go through when first put up. He feels that it would have gone through and his life would not have changed and at the same time, it would not have come under any more pressure. I know this won't please the rainbow SJWs on here, but the nutters on the yes side have just amplified the issue, not saved it

Anyway, carry on telling everyone what to do, still don't understand what the problem was with the plebiscite, guess it didn't give the left something to campaign about.

It's a bit like the Islamic religion, not wanting to debate the issue without name calling as there is about 1% or so of the population it impacts, and they all lean towards Clover Moore and PennyWong etc, sad reflection on the current state of the country

My nephew , strangely enough, doesn't need or want to get married to his partner, they live in a similar de facto situation as a lot of hetero couples, wouldn't be surprised if that was the case for a lot of gay couples.

Good on Avenger and HJ for calling this debate for what it is, a platform for hand wringing SJWs

Another who prefers meaningless labels to actual discussion....

Here's a curveball, I put Labour and the Greens last. Like a good lefty I guess

Just in case Avenger gets in anyone's grill in the future...

If Serbia is rich in something, that's swears. The renowned Serbian linguist Vuk Karadzic, who singlehandedly reformed the Serbian language and wrote the first dictionary and the first New Testament in this language, was also the first to recognise our swearing heritage by cataloguing all folky Serbian curse words.

The people closest to our hearts bear the brunt of our cursing: our family, and particularly our mothers. 'Jebem ti mater' or 'I f**k your mother' is the mother of all swears, with all others deriving from it. Generally, many of our curses revolve around vaginas: 'Pizda ti materina', for example, which translates to 'I f**k your mother's rotten pussy'. Variations on this theme include 'I'll f**k your bloody child in a pussy', and 'Let a dog f**k your mother's pussy'. If you'd want to insult someone's manhood, you could take a homophobic turn with 'You'll be disgusted with pussies and enjoy only dicks'. Just calling someone a 'Stinky boob' is also an option.

If you want to do it right, though, you'll curse someone's entire bloodline: you could go with 'I'll f**k everyone dead in your family, and your offspring and ancestors', with a more classy 'I'll f**k your blood, seed and tribe', or with 'I will f**k the first row at your funeral'.

More polite but also successful curses are 'I shit in your mouth' or 'I shit on your back'. The greatest mind-bending curse in our language, though, would be: "I f**k your dick in a pussy". Generations of experts have tried and failed to understand how this could be done.

This is all true. I have heard my sweet little MIL say these things and when my wife translated i was gobsmacked. She explained to me that whilst the words are harsh the intent isn't all that harsh.

My mother (God Bless her) is battling depression whilst caring for my father who has Stage 4 bowel cancer and has months to live. I'm sorry if Gary's post hit a nerve but it did. Yes, he didn't know but there should be rules here and not a free for all on member's families. I don't care what he googled to justify it but what he said was unacceptable.

Funny how most of the sheep on here think it's trivial.
Who said it was trivial?

For the record, I didn't agree with it, he shouldn't have said it. if you can't say it in English where everyone can read it, don't say it at all.

I can say 'f**k your mother's rotten pussy' in English. It's not against the law.

When did people become such PC SJW snowflakes?

There's no record of the vast majority of candidates on this subject, so there's no going by voting history, because it has never been voted on.

The current situation is a scam in relation to a conscience vote. As I've stated, Labor only have a conscience vote in this term because they know that they'll never get to use it. If they get power, they will be forced into a binding vote, making the current conscience option a meaningless instance of pure symbolism and cliched virtue signalling. And the Liberals are forced into a binding vote with a stupid postal plebiscite as their mechanism to try and get around it.

The whole thing should be parked if Labor want to deny the Australian people a say. Either have the plebiscite on the next election day or ensure every candidate goes on record with their stance. Hell, just have everyone agree to put an icon on their election day paraphernalia that shows how they will vote - Yes or No.

If this doesn't happen then anything else is pure virtue signalling by both sides and it is meaningless.

Sorry mate, you lost me there, it's been voted on several times.

Fair go Gary, I know it's not illegal but shit, that's a bit rough...

It's not about being pc or an sjw (of which I am neither) it's just common decency...

If you said that to me in person I would rip out your tongue and make you eat it you keyboard warrior piece of shit.

You crossed the line and you know it. You are just not man enough to admit it.
Mate, I understand he hit on a sensitive topic but I don't think the way you've taken his remark was the same way it was intended. You guys have bantered like that plenty of times in the past. And best wishes to both you and your parents.
