Good Friday?

I've always wondered what was so good about good Friday.

To date no one has been able to explain to my satisfaction just why the bottle shops are shut for one example.  

So this is my attempt at nutting out just what is so good about good Friday.  

 

Above all else ...

I Know You Would Be Offended

To All My Friends of Faith.

Specifically my practicing Christian, Muslim

and Jewish Friends:

Multiple Times a Day, Every Day

I Refrain from Posting Memes I Think Up and thoughts that

Poke Holes in and Generally Ridicule The Nonsense You Claim as Your Beliefs

(Let’s Admit it: Low Hanging Fruit)

Primarily Out of Genuine Concern of Offending You.

Though The More I Consider This, The Less I Understand Why You Should Take Offence

at My Memes.

They're Just Memes After all.

It's Not Like I

Proudly Follow A Book

That Says You Deserve To Burn For Eternity

For Not Having The Same

Beliefs As Me.

Now THAT Would Be Offensive.

Just sayin’.

Not Even My Email Is This Far Behind!

Email from Google arrived this morning encouraging me to check out the 4 groups featured below ….

The bot's are getting better. 1 out of 4 ain't bad. 

The bots are getting better. They will be writing romance fiction for the proletariat next. 

Forget Fabio .... I can't believe it's not Barbra Cartland!

A Foreigner's Perspective

Now the voting is done, for better or for worse ... here's a look at what our esteemed politicians have put us through from a foreigners perspective.

Australians are exceptionally good at displaying empathy ... except for when we're not.

Strangers Invited To Judge If I Am Worthy of Equality And You're Complaining About Recieving An Unsolicited SMS?

I'll say from the start that I have misgivings about the YES campaign's push SMS tactic on a number of levels.

But I guess I see view it from within a much different context to that from which heterosexuals view it (including those who share some of my misgivings around the SMS tactic).

I view being forced to allow total strangers to make a judgement as to the validity of my relationships as an unwarrented demonstration of disrespect and a totally  unecessary outrage.

Whether or not my relationships are in any way equal in standing to the relationships that my brother, my sister and every other heterosexual Australian is not and should not be a matter of the subjective and often ill-informed opinion of strangers. For me, it's easy to appreciate why, relative to that outrage I ascribe a vastly diminished nuisance value to the YES campaign's use of SMSs and zero care factor as to any associated legal issues and finer points of law than others apparently do.

It's always been my observation that Australians are exceptionally good at displaying empathy ... except for when we're not.

Let's get this done. Vote YES!
