...... uh. Wow. If they were really interested in respecting people, they would
ban religion. But no, they're just out to score points.

We'll need to vote that stupid prick Howard and his "Lion's Forum" out

What about the legal right being granted to Xian groups to
discriminate on the basis of religious belief when hiring?

What about Federal education funds being allotted to Catholic schools?

Talk about depressing, no wonder the dollar is in free fall.

Damn bloody right! That's just ridiculous. I can't believe that the Vic
government (admittedly a bunch of moronic idiots) would even consider
passing such a law. I think I'll be getting in touch with a few wiccan
friends in Melbourne.

We don't want your fundies, Nemo. They wouldn't like it here too much.
They'd have to put up with the Syndey Mardi Gras for a start - although

What better way to respect the Christian religion than to watch a shit
load of scary, bad assed movies and then have GOD save you from them?
GOD needs to keep his chops up, and with all these  perfect, goody two
shoes running around making things so easy for him, I'm afraid his
special powers may atrophy. He may not know it (though I'm SURE (yea,
right) he does) but GOD needs us to watch nasty movies, lest his hands
become idle. Hey did anybody see the one about the guy getting nailed
to a cross and being left to die? Man, that was SICK!

Now...just to rub salt in the wound...the church leaders in Queensland have
called for a boycot of sport on Good Friday, in particular the Bronco's game
being played in Brisbane.....and they have been backed up by Queensland
Premier Peter Beatty.

 Stand back....I'm gonna explode any second!!

While not wishing to detract from the central point that this decision was
appalling stupid, I would like to add several points which should be made to
add some perspective.

No "laws" were "passed".  The directive came from an unnamed bureaucrat in
the Attorney-General's Department, apparently acting without the knowledge
or approval of the government. (The Attorney-General himself is in hospital
recovering from a rare form of hepatitis)

The directive applied only to "The Exorcist".  Other R-rated movies were
unaffected (although none are actually scheduled for screening on Good
Friday).

The government, caught flat-footed by an announcement it had not expected,
initially indicated that it had no choice but to support the ban on the
grounds that it is consistent with the relevant Act of Parliament, which
dates from approximately 1958.  The premier has since flagged moves to scrap
the law, and the acting Attorney-General has now announced that the ban has
been reversed.

Pity, really.  It's much more fun to get outraged, isn't it?

Where did you get all that?  Every TV news item and net peice I have
