Ohh ok, coz in Australia, votings are compulsory (you get fined if you dont go voting). I guess in a way it forces people to think about it.

I'm happy that it isn't compulsory, because everyone in my religion would be fined every 4 years... or whenever we have to vote for stuff...

Umm...

I was thinking religion...


If my religion was allowed to vote, all of them would vote yes. But we can't.

Mormons can and do vote.

Same sex marriage against the law? I always thought that to be odd. Who the hell are you to decide who can marry who? In my opinion it's none of the government's business. If two men or women want to join in holy matrimony (sp?) then let them, what harm does it do?

Yeah, in fact, MANY states / countries does not allow same sex marriage, only a few places allow that, and its sad to see another state wants to take this right of other normal human beings.

To see this in another perspective:

A man and a woman gets married, wife doesnt work, so man earns the bread and butter. Under the certain structures and law, the man can distribute his income to say his wife is also the beneficary of his income, and with two tax thresholds they pay less tax.

If two women (or men) lived together in the exact same life style. They dont get the benefits, because they're not / they can't be married.

There's laws about no allowing discrimination, yet the law itself discriminates these couples, I think that's pretty dumb.

people don't like people being different at all. there's just so many people that hate for no reason. if i lived in california that would probably be the first time i ever vote.
