Well, Kevin Rudd has won the election it seems. All that's left is for him to be sworn in as our Prime Minister.

Kevin Rudd is:
  • Against homosexual marriage
  • Against Nuclear Power plants
  • Global Warming concerned (will sign Kyoto Protocol)
  • Plans to introduce faster broad band
  • Will provide more funding for schools
  • Will provide more computers for schools


Those are just a small few of his policies I bothered to read up on. Personally, I find the global warming and nuclear power points of view to be a tad hypocritical, but that's just me.

Anyway, Labour has always been a pretty crap government when it comes to the economy. And Bush is going to be pretty pissed, Rudd wants to remove combat troops out of Iraq and replace them with military trainers, so Iraq can train it's own police and military to deal with threats.

Against Nuclear Power Plants? Eek, that's not exactly the best thing anymore, is it?

Then again, the only real argument against nuclear power is that it can sometimes asplode, and that's only if they're not constantly well-maintained.

Thats why we need Fusion instead of Fission Power Plants. :P

Those environmentalists have always been pretty weird anyway. They believe in global warming, but they're against nuclear power plants (though many times cleaner with a few drawbacks until fusion power comes).

Nuclear meltdown != nuclear explosion

Nuclear reactors don't explode unless something (i.e. a bomb) causes them to explode.

And how exactly is that going to ruin the economy?

I'm all for being against gay marriages, I've got nothing against gay people but the marriage thing is where I draw the line. I'll kill myself when my grandkids grow up in a world where homosexuality is the new norm.

As for Gay marriage, how does it affect you Lord of Light? Does it anything to do with you personally that you should be against it, or are you just another homophobe afraid of gay people? Not that I think homosexuality will ever become a norm (though it was in Greek Times, gee it certainly didn't lead to their society magically falling apart).

I forsee a dark, grim world where George Michael is Queen of the World, and homo riot squads in gorgeous outfits stalk the street, beating down the honest, hard working heterosexual huddled masses.
Imagine a bright pink boot (with tassles and lace to die for) stomping on a human face, forever.

Don't attempt to talk down to me like I'm below you. I have my own set of beliefs and morals and I have opinion that I can add in at any time I want. If I don't approve of gay marriages, so be it. It's got nothing to do with me personally, but it goes against morals that I've been raised with. Fizzy in a different place someone could of said the same thing to you, but here on BYOND people are all nice and open minded and all that other bullcrap. I don't believe in gay marriages, and I hope it never happens.

I don't approve of gay marriage either- if two people love each other enough, they shouldn't need some kind of official institutionalised document or system to say so.

You've been raised with tremendously stupid morals. What is amoral about it? Can you name one thing? Or is just the forcefed prolefeed bullshit that Christianity, and other major religions, spew out to the unthinking masses? It is more amoral to force to people who are in love, regardless of whether they have the same genitiles or not, to be incapable of consumating what they fill.

Fizzy in a different place someone could of said the same thing to you, but here on BYOND people are all nice and open minded and all that other bullcrap.

Firstly, a lot of people on BYOND aren't nice. Secondly, being "open-minded" generally implies accepting gay marriage, which you have not. Also, what could've been said about me? You're not making any sense here.

I don't believe in gay marriages, and I hope it never happens.

Please, quit being so stupid and close-minded, you twit.

Dude, you're stealing all Orwell's lines! Save some for me.
Nov 24 2007, 6:05 pm
You dumbass, I said people in BYOND pretend to be open minded, thats why they accept gay marriage. But really now how can you say someones set of beliefs are stupid. I'm not even a christian you dick, my parents don't suppot gay marriage and I turned out that way to. There's nothing wrong with it, I'm not saying kill gay people, I'm saying why let them get married? I don't see a reason that they need to. Stop trying to be a know it all, and just read for once in your life. You don't need to type all the time.

I'm stealing his terminology. "Prolefeed" is newspeak. The other stuff isn't from him.
Nov 24 2007, 6:07 pm
Then do you think straight people shouldn't get married?
Nov 24 2007, 6:09 pm
I'm saying marriage is a tradition between a heterosexual couple that was made for that purpose. Hell go make a different kind of "marriage" and call it something else for all I care. I just don't like the idea of the same sex being "married".
Nov 24 2007, 6:11 pm
Then you're a close-minded dolt, and I'm done arguing with you because you won't change your mind. You're incapable of justifying your own answers, instead saying they're just not "moral", though you can't explain why it's not moral. You're an idiot homophobe, and you're one of a large group that are reasons I hate most people.

[Edit]
And, if not Christian, what are you?
