Australia PM says gay marriage bad for human survival (et tu Howie)

[Nambe]

CANBERRA, Aug. 4 — Reuters

Australia's conservative prime minister on Tuesday aligned himself with the Vatican and U.S. President George W. Bush in ruling out gay marriages, saying they did nothing to support the ''survival of the species.'' ---

Howard said he would never support any facilitation of gay marriage in Australia despite the nation's biggest city, Sydney, now being home to one of the world's largest gay communities. ---

Privatize bush It’s a Good Thing

[Maple]

1. Yes, because the 'species'

is in danger of disappearing I'm sure.

[Guaranteed]

2. Yeah this underpopulation problem has really been bothering ME n/t

[Darranar]

3. Okay...

Since gays wouldn't marry ANYWAY, so they wouldn't have children, why in the world would giving them marriage rights harmful to human survival? What right wing junk!

[Cheswick2.0]

6. he may be dumber than Bush

hard to believe isn't it?

[Darranar]

33. Yah, it is...

Those anti-gay marriage crazies (wherever they are) are often at the bottom rung of human intelligence. Either that, or theiy're cunningly evil.

[Cheswick2.0]

4. War , on the other hand

is good for the survival of the human race.

If Howie is feeling lonely and upopulated there in Australia, I am sure there are several million Chinese and Indian people who would like an acre and a mule.

[foxy]

18. Please pm and explain this coment to me

thank you

[Cheswick2.0]

24. what is your question?

if you have a question, please let me know what it is.

[BiggJawn]

5. Oh, Dear, and I've not been holding up my end...

I only have one child...And my Girlfriend, she's NEVER reproduced!

This is the stupidest damn thing I've head dribble out of a politician's cake-hole since the Chimp's confuse-a-thon the other day...

What a MAROON!

[renegade000]

7. well if we want to go that route:

i think humanity is more threatened by overcrowding, so by his logic gay marraiges are a perfect solution.

[Pert_UK]

8. Jesus H. Christ - I'm in Australia and knew Howard was bad, but THIS bad?

1. World population is high anyway, with the vast increase in the population occurring in the last few hundred years.

2. It's increasing hugely and will put a massive strain on natural resources in the next few hundred years.

So there IS NO WORRY about keeping the human race going....

3. It's WAR that threatens the existence of the race.

4. Gay people aren't going to turn around and say "Oh well, if I can't get married I may as turn straight and raise an army of children", which is presumeably what Howard would like.

ARSEHOLE!!!!!!

[rooboy]

14. Welcome to Australia....

and yes, Howard IS this bad.

[Pert_UK]

17. Maybe he's wandering around the outback going "Not many people.."

and thinking that the rest of the world is a little low on the population front!

To be honest, if he looked just at WA he could conclude that there is an overly small population, but I think he needs to take a more global view!

P.

[soothsayer]

9. that's why old and sterile people shouldn't be allowed to marry

er, by his logic, I reckon.

What a dumbass.

[maggrwaggr]

10. I guess failing upward all the way to the top not limited to U.S.

Howard MUST be as stupid as Bush.

[Syrinx]

11. What, is he expecting straight people...

To quit fucking because gay people get married? :shrug:

[Gingersnap]

12. you hit the nail on the head syrinx

It's not like all those unmarried gay couples have been reproducing like rabbits!

Oh, I get it, I think he just doesn't want people to be gay period. <church lady voice>: well isn't that SPECIAL.

[Spintronic]

13. So to follow his logic to the end...

Since gay people, by simply existing will never do anything directly to help the "survival of the species", they must be forced to marry and have children right?

[Tom Kitten]

15. Africa?

The human species seems to be having trouble over there. But the West helping out humanity there seems to be a fucking joke. Better off if we let them fight each other, the less people in the way the better to extract their resources.

And yeah, I do believe there is racism involved...Dealing with "tribes" is beneath the BFEE, the PNAC, and the Fortune 500's level. Exactly what did Bush's tour do except provide photo-ops of him patting young Negro kids on the head?

[gemini_liberal]

16. and yet

this is the same guy who wants to close off the national borders to people who have nowhere to live and sends troops overseas to kill people.

Conservative Australia at its worst...

[Mal]

19. Well, coldly, it doesn't.

Of course, neither does staying single, or using contraceptives, from that viewpoint, and would be a far, far bigger "problem".
OK, it's just a stupid statement, but I reject any suggestion that Howard is as stupid as, or stupider than, Bush. What you have to remember is that BUSH doesn't like gay marriage, and Howard is as big an arselicker as anyone known.
Incidentally, the only reason Australia's population isn't going backwards is immigration, so he would seem to have a point there, until you contrast that with our treatment of refugees. If population is such a problem, why are we rejectng these people who want to live here so much, they're self-delivered?
Oh yeah, I forgot, they're all criminals and terrorists.

God, I hate that man.

[aquart]

20. Excuse me?

Has he not seen Queer Eye for a Straight Guy? In which 5 gay men make a straight guy and his hovel attractive to women?

That helps species survival in my book.

[LauraK]

21. Fear not Howie! Polygamist males have more than 150 kids.

Happens all the time.If every male on the planet was gay but for one, there would be a strong herd of heterosexuals running around in no time.

[David__77]

22. More reason for regime change--Labor get it together!

I really hope the Labor can revitalize itself in time for the next election. The good thing about same sex marriage is, once it is established, it's MUCH harder to get rid of, so to speak. So, we can be assured that it will ultimately become the Western norm.

[samsingh]

23. the world is so underpopulated as it is.

sarcasm off.

[Karenina]

25. Bad for human survival?

I should like you to consider the following which are much greater threats to human survival:

The *misanthropicadministration
Dependency on oil
Polluted water
Monsanto
Fascism
War
Selfishness and GREED ("First world" nations COMSUME endlessly)
Imperialism
Economic slavery

Shall I continue??? :shrug:

[hatrack]

26. To say nothing of f*****g up the global climate

But of course, ol' Howie Boy's right on board with George W. Chimp and the rest of the "Let's let a couple million dollars dribble out to the DOE and ExxonMobil for some sound science" crowd.

Man, I can't speak as an Australian, but this guy seems like a world-class horse's ass.

[Mal]

32. I can.

World-class horse's arse-licker.

[iam]

27. If China had...

If 50% of China's population was gay there wouldn't be a one-child, forced abortion law there now. Idiots.
So I guess it's better that there are millions of forced abortions, deaths by starvation, massive emmigration, etc... than married gays. Idiots.

[FlaGranny]

28. Well, really, I suppose

that if gay marriage were allowed, all the heterosexuals would decide to become homosexuals so they could participate in gay marriage. RIGHT?

[PROGRESSIVE1]

29. Howard also supported the little Iraqi War

Howard is a scum bag and what does it say about the Aussies as a whole that they are so tolorant of this crap.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

30. I like this HEADLINE Better:

"Australia PM Says gay marriage bad for human survival (F U Howie)"

[Skittles]

31. GET THAT, PEOPLE????

EVERYONE IS REQUIRED TO HAVE CHILDREN, or else you are F***ING WORTHLESS.
