I'm down the with Sullivan-Ranapia doctrine. Could these people get over their culture war and their novelty VP candidate and <b>start acting like old-fashioned conservatives</b>? Their chump champions have been wandering in the wilderness for eight years and the world is a bit scared.
That'd be great. But then they'd lose the election...
I guess that's fine with the liberals though, right :)
It'd be fine with me too..

Sounds as if one cannot vote without actively supporting a party prepared to sell out...

Dylan. Either the council has the authority to say what goes or they are another hurdle to overcome before the real authority steps in.
The way I see it is that if a council cannot make simple rulings like this then they are not much use other than to provide red tape.

I agree that someone can decide who gets a permit. My concern is that the criteria be applied in an even-handed way. So that Boobs on Bikes and Destiny can be considered in the same way. And quite frankly those criteria should have nothing to do with content.
The questions the council should ask are:
- Is it legal?
- Is there a public interest or audience?
- Is there a legitimate political message?
- What level of interruption will result?
Perhaps others. But 'do I like the message/content' is not one.Then we agree. Unfortunately it seems to be the case that to get to this authority one has to go through a mile of red tape...

Would you like to talk about the age of the Earth now? :)

Are we talking about proper discipline now?

Dylan. Utterly irrelevant! From all accounts the council currently has NO SAY with regards to who can or cannot march down Queen St. What I suggested first up is that the council should have the ability to say yes or no. What decisions they come up with is another discussion.
Do you agree that someone has to have the authority to decide upon even trivial matters like this? If yes, who and why not the council. If no ... uh .. well. You're on your own :)

Steve. You claimed that at no stage did the bible condemn rape or child abuse. When I point out two examples of the bible doing just that you have lost that point. Grow up, dude. It's not like none of us have never been wrong before...
-
What are you referring to? Steve's ignorance?
-
When you said this...
<blockquote>There is, unfortunately , nothing in Grunts book of rules, the Bibble, that says "thou shalt not rape" or "Thou shalt not beat your children"</blockquote>
.. you were ignoring the passages you have to argue against. Weren't you?
