IDK Maybe society is just too soft on crims these day? "Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone" is a good enough reason for me not to... Haha I wouldn't mind to, I want to go into law first (if I even go into politics). Would you vote for me? :spin:

All of them have been covered in the last 50 odd pages. I honeslty can't be bothered retyping everything I've been saying over and over (you're definately not the only person asking the same questions). If you want more info, post after you've finished reading and I'll give you some links.

I can't even vote yet... I'll be much more of an active citizen once I graduate from high school and can actually play a more substancial role in how this country is governed.

Nah, but they should both be stoned to death, ya know? :haha:

I admit that much of the case against homosexuality has a religious slant. If I were not religous, there would still be arguements against homosexuality (public health for one, among others; it not being natural, many people still find it a sensitive issue regardless of religion etc). To...

I would disagree, you're asking me (and everything else) to accept something that is actually a sin and a perversion of sex, love and marriage be accepted in society and even promoted as ok, and natural. As I'm sure you would resent it if I started preaching to every gay person I ever met, I...

Change is not always good. Are people any happier now than they were in ancient times? Yes we're a more free people, but does freedom necessarily equate to happiness? (Obviously there is a point where you can't be happy if your freedoms are restricted to such an extent, but its an interesting...

...:haha: Maybe I am, but have you thought perhaps you're the one in denial? :p Lol... Thanks but no thanks :S And yes religion is a pretty cool thing ;)

Hey, as I keep getting told, just because I don't agree with someone's choices, who am I to stop them? As I expect homosexual people to allow people to pursue faith in God, I would expect people of all religions to allow people to practice homosexuality. I think people should be given as much...

No sorry, but I do have a life outside of Bored of Studies, even in the holidays when every day just seems to snail by... Good grief though, theres like 20 posts on the last 2 pages that people want me to comment on, sigh. :mad1:

What do you mean by this, could you clarify please? I would vote against same-sex marriage (currently I'm too young to vote however, though haha). Hmm... I have thought about this. I am still unhappy about homosexual unions being promoted to the same status as heterosexual marriage, however...

Just so you know; my family is a somewhat decent bunch. None of them are religious (none of my grandparents were religious) and they are not friends with a particularly religious selection of people. In fact, my mum even thinks I'm gay. :p Neither my parents nor my background (even my...

Almost all Jewish people I know will not eat shellfish or pork. And in regards to working on the sabbath, it would depend on what your definition of of "work" is. I don't go to school on Sunday, and most religious buisness people (I imagine, can't pretend I've met them all) don't go to work...

Well, thats their choice, and I respect their position (won't stop them from saying that I frown upon it). Just as I would in turn, expect them to respect mine (likewise expecting them to frown upon mine). Personal attacks prove nothing and are those which spread the hate.

What were you thinking of as an example? Haha I've been through that phase :P But just because I can empathise (to a degree mind you) with why you do it, doesn't make it right at all. It's still a choice for the individual. I disagree with it being encouraged (especially as healthy)...

This thread is specifically about homosexuality, "Homosexuality in Australia". If its title was "Sex-Before Marriage in Australia" I wouldn't be talking about homosexuality bud. ;) I respect that. I'm not going to propose a motion which outlaws homosexuality or restricts people from...

You quoted CROC as support to your case, but you are not even familiar with what it even says. Sigh. It says parents. However in other clauses it specifically says parents or legal guardians. Parents refer to the biological parents of the child (so yes, their mother and father), as opposed to...

God gave you free will. I agree with societies laws to the extent that they should enable us to exercise this free will to a broad degree, even to commit actions which are morally deplorable, eg. homosexual sex. Obviously we have the free will, even to commit murder, but this should be...

1. The child shall be registered immediately after birth and shall have the right from birth to a name, the right to acquire a nationality and, as far as possible, the right to know and be cared for by his or her parents. Note the use of the word, parents as opposed to "legal guardians". Even...
