Rudd on global warming "Global warming is the greatest moral challenge of our time" then ditched this greatest moral challenge at the behest of Gillard. A real conviction politician right? wrong.

He has no convictions, no new policy, no moral fibre, just a revenge filled narcissist bent on power. All he's good for is wedge politics & power.

yeh, he says that now because its the only way he will get some votes, but, endorsing it doesnt mean it will happen

No Donna it does not affect me directly, but it affects the whole population indirectly.

For the people it does affect there is nothing stopping then forming a relationship in anyway they choose.

Marriage was born out a need to protect the offspring of a union, In a homosexual relationship there can be no offspring, regardless how often they couple, that need the protection of marriage.

Other legal matters are already covered as far as property is concerned.

I can not see any logical reason for homosexuals to get married to each other.

That is why I asked yuou to build a convincing case 🙂

Gay people love each other, they want to get married. They already have children so I don't quite understand your point in that regard, I didn't get married to have children. I could have had them without getting married.

OMG I love my cat but I don't want to marry it

Now convince why people who love each other feel the need to get married? what advantage does it have?

Does a certificate increase the level of love?

[donnashuggy]

I think they want to get married for the same reasons other people do poddy, so why not? Lots of people don't want to get married or have children and that is fine too.

If that is what they want I don't think they should be stopped and sincerely hope it is on the agenda for the election.

Do you think it should be an election issue?

[donnashuggy]

Do you think it should be an election issue?

Absolutely it should. It is a very debated topic in many countries, has it caused any problems that you know of in the countries that allow it?

So Donna do you put it on the sale level as hospitals, homelessness, roads, child abuse, discrimination, law and order, criminality, drugs, taxation, transport, and the list goes on.
