Two issues here. You don’t get a free pass to say bigoted shit and then activate your “religious” shield.
Do you get a free pass to say ungodly shit and then activate your “atheist” shield? Should atheists in countries where they are the minority be free to spout their offensive opinions?
It has nothing to do with being religious. People need to start taking responsibility for their own views instead of weaponising their religion to justify their bigoted views. Secondly, you're assuming that religious people (even from the same denomination) are a monolith.
They are a monolith in the sense that they are not atheists and are unlikely to agree that only atheists may express their opinions in public.
Thats demonstrably not true. The Catholic Church has homosexual priests in the clergy.
Well the ones with views you don’t like obviously believe the ones with views you do like are heretics.

I will say one thing, it is a very close comp in regard to the bottle of the table. I reckon with still 10 rounds to go, that all seven teams who have won six games or less could still realistically win the Spoon.
It’s still a long way to go but Tits have home games vs Souths & Tigers, and even those seem unlikely at the moment. I struggle to see them winning another game this year. Even if they win those 2, it only puts them on 6 wins. It’s not impossible for them to turn it around, they definitely have some good players but their team attitude looks like they’d rather be doing anything else with their weekends

Probably worded it wrong

For accessibility getting around found Melbourne better, could basically walk to any major event or use the free tram loop. Sydney you need to travel by transport. eg At times you need to get two trains for a gig at Accor

Two things.
Firstly, this just means that they have positioned their stadiums way better than Sydney has. Well done to them and it actually works very well for them.
Secondly, if say, you live in Broadmeadow, or Wyndham, or Frankston, travel times aren't just a walk or a free tram ride, as you suggested. It's no different to living in Berowra, Hurstville or Cabramatta.
Your claim that Melbourne's infrastructure is better than Sydney's couldn't actually be further from the truth.
Their tram system is good but really no better than Sydney's bus equivalent. Their train system really isn't a patch on Sydney's.
As for their roads and traffic - it's just as bad as Sydney.
I've been there 3 times in the past 18 months. Driven all three times in that city and also caught public transport each time using the Myki card.
Honestly, Sydney is way ahead with infrastructure.

I'd be impressed if you can say that you've successfully negotiated a hook turn in Melbin.

I had to do a hook turn from LaTrobe into Russell St in morning peak hour once. Never again.

To be fair, I've driven around this. With 13 entry/exit points and no designated lanes and driving on the right-hand side of the road, I still found it easier than a f**king stupid hook turn!
It was almost bumper car stuff but I managed to escape unscathed!! :)

Honestly, it’s lucky I’m married or there’d be no chicks left for the rest of you.

Refused to entertain a hook turn, scary and typical Melburn. The States have some crazy lane turns and ability to turn around , but hook turns are another beast.
